BONE!

When I was working with kids, I was introduced to Bone more intimately.  I never enjoyed black and white comics, but their library within the school had colored versions of these stories.  With the color I was able to thoroughly enjoy the stories and art that Jeff Smith brought to the table.  It's inspired me in many ways and this was an image I produced to pull out the feelings I get when reading this fun, thrilling, adventurous book!

Elmo?!

I use to work with kids and during a vacation day program, I was asked to draw Elmo for them to color, so this was my contribution to the kiddies=] I plan on doing Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch and Big Bird one day..... One day.....

Iron Man Extremis 2.0

Iron Man's Extremis armor is a pretty tough armor to illustrate.  I generally have to understand what I am drawing before I tackle it and for some reason i can't wrap my head around this armor.  this was the second time I ended up drawing him.  The first two images are my complete workings of the character. the image below is colored by Doug Stevens who has a profile up at http://bdstevens.deviantart.com   

I really want to get more comfortable drawing Iron Man but I think I will do so in the context of drawing him with the Avengers when I do draw him.

Galore is a catering company who focuses on doing catering with a home cooked feel.  There are no processed foods involved, no frozen products either, everything they do is fresh, organic, and with support for farms who are local.  With those things in mind, we created a logo that had a connection to the home cooked feel with the wood representing a cutting board, and a ripe tomato to represent the freshness associated with their catering.  The fork represents the readiness of the food due to how hungry their food will make you.

I am really proud of how this turned out and look forward to doing more.

JLU.....

This JLU (Justice League Unlimited, the animated series) lineup is the most powerful, and the most interesting in my opinion.  Having two women and at least one man who isn't Caucasian (even though there are three alien's on the team) helps to bring something different to the table than the typical scenarios.

I am really loving how The Flash is being drawn now so I took advantage of that and ran with his effect! I look forward to redoing this lineup to be up to date with the new 52.  Stay tuned!

The Flash

I have always wanted to draw the Flash..... He has one of the coolest abilities and his costume is so simple..... could you imagine if you were the smart guy who created him? I got the design for the energy in this piece from Ethan Van Sciver who did the Flash: Rebirth storyline, and the display of energy from an illustration by Jamal Igle. This was another fun illustration for me.  

My First Interview

This is me at the 2011 Big Apple Comic Con.  I am being interviewed by Mike from Silver Cheese and it's my first recorded interview that I have ever seen=] Good lord there is so much to learn from seeing yourself make a fool of yourself =] Enjoy
