Stuff & Things

Just putting up a post here to show some of the things I've been working on lately. Life has been kinda hectic. We did some landscaping in the front yard and our grass is just now coming in. We're excited... yes, excited for grass.  Lame.  Also, we've got a large canvas and we're going to attempt a large painting for our living room. I'll post pics when we're done. It's going to be quite the undertaking.

On to the artwork.

The Octoro Illustration I did for Jess up top there is probably my most favorite of all my work these days.  I just kept building and building on it, increasing the epicness as I went along.  Some of the other work was for Kidthulhu and Dead Future and those are below. I created a retro type-treatment for the Kidthulhu Infinity Issue as well as a t-shirt design for Dead Future as we bring that project to an end.  Also worked up a logo and mock-up Wordpress template for our new Tummel Vision moniker that we will release the all-ages comics through. Martin figured this was better than lumping bloody zombies in with the cute stuff.  So, yeah, I think it's the right decision.

Kidthulhu Header

A type treatment for the header of the comic Kidthulhu I did for Grim Crew. Martin kept telling me about the book and I kept seeing awesome illustrations from Jason, the artist and I just had to involve myself some how. So here it is. I'm pretty proud of it. This is one of those pieces that never changes from concept stage to final product. It was a single vision all the way through. This will grace the cover that will be drawn by the extremely talented Mike Dubisch. I'm glad everyone likes it. Here's to doing more of these.

More More Illustration

I went a different route with this one. A route that is proving more affective and one which I like exponentially. I guess I'll be redoing the first one in this style. My only hope is that -- having created this piece -- I haven't essentially "willed" this gollem into being. I hope that the fragile tether that binds it to it's world hasn't been ripped in twain by my actions. If so: I'M SORRY WORLD!

Building an Illustration

So I'm doing an illustration to be placed in a friend's book. Jess and I have been building the "set" since last weekend. I took a few shots of it as it is now. We're almost done and the mood is starting to become very apparent.

The last time I did anything like this, I was in college, illustrating a short story my mom wrote. It's exciting to get back into it. I'm enjoying it, even though Jess would argue it's like pulling teeth getting me to work on it.
