C2E2!

I'll be in Chicago this weekend, heading out there tonight, will you be there?! Drop by table D3 in Artists Alley and come say hello=] Hope to see you there=] 

We find Galactus, Devourer of Worlds, among a galaxy that has a plethora of planets... he no longer hungers... Pencils and inks done in 2009, colors done today!

I remember being scared to color this for a long time.  I didn't feel I had the skills to accurately pull this off
and stayed away from it for a long time.  I've been on this journey for a while now and my new adventures have taken me into space with a good number of illustrations I have created. Thankfully the practice on this lead me to this image being created.

I am becoming much more comfortable in who I am as an artist and am loving this journey.  Thank you to all of you who have been there along with me and have supported my travels as an artist!

C2E2 here I come!

Nova Prime

For a long time I've enjoyed the art of Mahmud Asrar mahmudasrar.deviantart.com, Yildiray Cinar http://cinar.deviantart.com/, Chris Stevens http://christopherstevens.deviantart.com/ and others who have created beautifully rendered images with markers.  I've always been inspired and finally have been able to afford the markers and am now am trying to get myself to another stage in my work. I hope you enjoy this piece, I knocked it out in a few hours with the distractions of the day and hope to do many many more like this!

Chicago Bound!

I can't wait til this weekend, I'll be celebrating my birthday and exhibiting my art at the 3rd largest show in the country! Come check me out if yo're in Chicago, tickets are on sale at www.c2e2.com for cheaper now than they will be at the door! Get them now=]

MATHEMATICAL!

I am meeting deadlines left and right, this is so fun =] So here is my Adventure Time Illustration. This wasn't an easy illustration for me to create.  As an artist you need to know when to let something go and move on to the next project and i have reached that point here and am moving on.  I am happy with the outcome but would love to see how this may look a few years down the line when I've grown some more.

Adventure Time is the new Sponge Bob in my eyes.  I won't let my nephews watch this show but this is a great show for teenagers who understand the jokes better and know what to take seriously and what to laugh at. This show can be very freeing and fun to watch when you simply just let your mind go and allow yourself the adventures.  They even may spark imagination to run wild in your own mind... I enjoyed my studies that were undertaken in order to come up with this. I hope you like the final result=]

This was done just in time for Boston Comic Con and will be available for that show and for C2E2! See you there=]

Magneto Vs Phoenix

I have begun the process of doing more artwork by hand as apposed to relying on the computer for my coloring and this is another example of that.  is is a piece I did on two sketch cards, each sized at 2.5 x 3.5 for a total of 3.5 x 5.

As I look at this I wonder what it may look like as a digitally edited 11x17 print.  I may end up touching this up ;-) Stay tuned!

Smells like Victory

I am always asked at conventions, "Have you drawn any Deadpool?" so I felt i needed to get that done for the show goers.  Any time I speak about Deadpool with fans, i always hear about how he loves tacos, so in my research about why (he just LOVES Taco's it's insane!) I found a painting with Deadpool replacing the baby in "Smells like teen Spirit" and a taco is on the end of the fishing line. If that image was as famous as it is ridiculous, I figured seeing Deadpool, the Merc with a Mouth, standing inside a Taco surrounded by pancakes would have him ecstatic.  Seeing Paco Medina draw Deadpool cooking so many pancakes had me dieing, so I had to include that in this image. Hope you dig this, I had a lot of fun drawing this, and now am on the mend for all those pancakes I drew ;-)

Impending Doom!

The king of Latveria is rarely seen protecting his land, for he would not sully his hands with such an activity. His genius provides for that with Doom Bots and other such creations. We have found Doom in a rare occassion of practicing his magics in the open air in a courtyard within his castle grounds. Doom's magics rival those of the Sorcerer Supreme and are to be reckoned with. Do not cross Doom, for you will be forever in regret....hehehe
