I talked to Tom Green...

Some of you may not know, but I'm a huge fan of Tom Green. I used to watch him back in the day on MTV, but lost track of him after his second series. But my BFF Chris DiBari got me back into listening. Ryan Stegman, Chris, and I talk on Skype and listen to him on his internet show while we draw every night. I finally got up the courage to call in, so it was cool getting to talk to him and be the final caller on the second half of the broadcast. It's like 15 minutes, so you can skip ahead to the end. Either way, I'm definitely calling in again.

Crawler

I think it would be cool do do something with Nightcrawler. When I was a kid, I used to think he and Colossus were the coolest. Especially when the arcade game was out (the X Men side-scrolling fighter). I miss when he was more of a high-octane, swash-buckling character. Less intense and ultra-Catholic priest type. That's emotionally draining and kind of kills some of the thrill the character presents. I like to think of him more set up for intense, 80's movie style non-stop action. But also with a kind-hearted side.

More sketches...

More practice

Happy 4th

Joy Buzzards

Just felt like doing a pin-up this morning. I did a bunch of coloring and sketching on Monday. Tuesday I got a page done and another pin-up. I've been keeping as active as possible until I get a regular gig.

Sketch page.

Well, I decided on creating a sketchbook for the Baltimore Convention in September. I want to do a black and white one. Maybe I will try and hold off on some of the gray tones as well. I know, it's scary to see white on my art...but go with it baby, you know I'll treat you right!

Character design

Savage Dragon

Wolf-Man

Captain America...

Felt like playing around with Captain America.

Dunno...

It's been a while since I used any digital watercolor techniques, but now I feel as though I can utilize them in a more grounded approach. With this drawing, it just made more sense to use this technique than anything else.

Numero 50

Nobody said otherwise or gave any suggestions, so the entry for my 50th post is...Vader!

One more til' 50...

Blueberry, a character from the old Moebius comics.

Predator...

Some back-story on this. Predator was a movie that dazzled me at a young age. My parents took my brother and I to the drive in theater to see a family-oriented film. My brother would probably remember what it was, but that wasn't what caught my attention. My parents made us dress up in our pajamas so we could go straight to bed when we got home, but we also brought blankets. At the drive-in there was a screen behind us, there were about 5 or so movies going on at the same time. Well, I kept pretending to fall asleep then turn around and watch it without sound until my parents would catch me. When I was in pre-school, my mom was in the hospital at the time. My dad rented movies and made sweet-rolls for my brother and I to keep our minds off of things. He brought home "Predator," and even though at four years old I couldn't comprehend what all was going on, I knew that I loved every minute of it.

The next day at pre-school, my best friend at the time had her grandfather visit and talk about his experience in the military. I asked a bunch of questions and then I went off on a tangent about Predator, and then said "ugly motherfu..." then the teacher quickly shut me up. My dad was told about the incident, and he kind of laughed it off later.

Anyway, still dig the heck out of the character even though Paul W.S. Anderson did his best to try and ruin it for me. But whatever...still cool...

Another X-Men Piece...

Some of my friends suggested that they wanted to see me do a drawing of Emma Frost, the White Queen. So this was what I came up with. I used my P2 process again, which is getting more refined with each illustration.

Nightcrawler

I'm nearing 50 posts. That really seemed to catch up quickly. If anybody actually reads this, give me suggestions on what to do for my 50th post, and I'll do the top two...probably because there will only be two...but whatever!

Cyclops pic...

Bonus pic...Punisher

I'm trying to do this a little more now. For those of you who actually look at the blog, you get to see exclusive pictures. Normally, I'll post all the art that goes up here on other messageboards, the only difference is that I put it up here first. But Lately (as with some of the portraits), you'll only see them posted here. This is a Punisher picture I did this morning.

Basically, what that means is always check the blog first. It's the primary spot to see my artwork.
