Wedding Commission

Here's my latest commission.  A young man wanted to propose to his girlfriend by having a caricature done of them(by a fake artist on site), and then when she went to check the piece, it would be him on a knee proposing to her, at which point, she would turn around and he would be on a knee proposing to her.  Well, the day came, they loved the art and she said 'yes'!!  Congrats to the lovely couple!

  

Martial Arts as defined by the Manly Dictionary

I keep seeing all these rule changes that are slowly neutering martial arts.  It started back in the day with full contact sparring turning into point sparring, then it spread to judo with multitudes of inane rules and now it has finally infected the IBJJF.  So, here is my take on the situation and today's warm-up.  Get fucked soccer mommies, I blame you not wanting your kids to get boo boos for this overly protected, overly ruled bullshit in MARTIAL ARTS.

Just cuz...

Just kind of felt like doing my own version of the Haunted Mansion wallpaper design.  Because I can.  Enjoy!

First Sketchy-Sketchiness of 2014

So, here is some sketchiness done late late late late late at night in-between projects.  This is my main goal for 2014, to start putting pencil to paper again.  Enjoy!

Last art of 2013

One thing I am not overly pleased about with 2013 was just how little art I actually did on paper.  But with the demise of Spill.com, I am going to be going back to my roots and trying to get some comics going, which means I have to start working with my pencils again.  So, for now, here is a paltry offering of some of what I did but didn't post over 2013(and one that slipped in from 2012).  The caricatures are of Katy cock-eyed Perry, Paisley and Shelton.

Blast from the Past

Finishing up some pages for a new submission and found my first published work from May 2009's edition of Heavy Metal Magazine.  Its weird to think how long ago this was(drawn in 07, published 09).

Either way, an enjoyable milestone that I was and still am very proud of(the accomplishment, not the art. lol).   So just for fun, here is page 7 from the short.

Starscream's Shiny Old Paint Job

I did this as a warm-up a while back and then finished it for my lovely wife who is in love with Starscream.

So, shit is happening at work and its a good thing.  And this is the start of my rejuvenation.  I was starting to lose the passion and I think we are heading in the right direction now.  I will get to be less cryptic in the next month or so.  For now, here is a T-Shirt I did the artwork for.  Get it while you can!

The fantastic text was supplied by my amazing coworker and fellow artist Peter.
