boombox skull



Still working on this fellar. He's so majestic dontcha think?



Just finished this. Don't know what I'll do with it. Maybe try to sell it.

So DBH is having an Incubus contest right now, and also their 10K contest will be coming up soon. I'm going to work on some stuff for those. Already have a few ideas for the 10K. Stay tuned.

Superfly

So I finally finished this design. It was a lot of fun to work on.



It was modeled after this classic Superman cover:



But the idea is a pun obviously of this old movie. "Never a fly like this one. He's got a plan to stick it to the man." was the tagline from the Superfly movie, except they said "dude" instead of "fly" of course.



Hope you guys enjoy the piece. I mocked it for a t-shirt and hopefully somebody will want to print it:




Thanks for looking. Have a swell day.

Oldies but Goodies

Decided to post up some of my old stuff, so that maybe when you see more of my recent stuff it'll make it look really good in comparison, and you'll be like "Whoa! You really leveled up!"
If it's the opposite and you're like "Jeez, it's all going downhill." then I'll be very sad. I'll most likely fling my body from a tall building.
But anyway, here you go, old stuff:





















I have a long ways to go as an artist, but hopefully I've made a lot of progress over the years. I'm really ready to start doing something with these so called skills of mine. I'm currently working a really boring frustrating dead-end low-paying job, and I sit there all day just waiting for my shift to end, which is the last thing I wanted to be doing with my life (gotta get those bills paid though right) so I really want to be on my way to doing bigger and better things.

The t-shirt design thing is just the first small step in my initiative. It's not so much the money that's the goal (although I could really use the money) but it's the web presence that being a winner could bring me. Something that can open the door for the other things I want to do, and hopefully afford me with people that will be paying attention to me when I start to do those things.

So hopefully, this blog will not only be a place to showcase my work, but to document my journey. Wish me luck and all that. Thanks for looking and reading.

Cerbearus up @ DBH

After a million hours of work I finally finished probably my favorite illustration I've ever done. Lost a lot of sleep, but it was worth it.



I put him on a tee, and he's up at DBH for voting. If it's something you're inclined to wear on a shirt you can vote here.




I'm tempted to post some process pics, maybe another day.

Thanks for looking.

Cerbearus


Linework for a new t-shirt design I'm working on. I'm sure you're familiar with the cerberus of Greek mythology, the 3 headed dog. Well, I thought what would be more badass than a 3 headed dog? A 3 headed BEAR! That's one beastly beast is it not??

CerBEARus. Like that fancy play on words? Of course you do.

I'm halfway done coloring this sucker, so perhaps if I finish up tomorrow I'll post that. I'm going to sub this sucker at DBH too I think.

Aerial: Another DBH submission


They've got a quiksilver contest going on over at DBH. Figured I'd try something and rushed this out before the deadline:
