Here is a pencil drawing I did on the plane out to NJ back in Dec. I have a bunch of finished projects done to show, but some I am still waiting to be made public, and some I need to format to show here. Anyway enjoy this for now with added blue line removal.
Well a million projects at once, followed by a 3 week vacation to the East Coast, and now I can start posting up some of what I had been swamped with , as well as maybe putting up some fun-time-Gaz sketches as well. PS dig teh snazzy new layout care of my awesome wife-bot Quelyn.
This is actually a project I did after the 5 huge ones, It was for an anniversary or wedding gift.
Still swamped with stuff I can’t show anyone until November, but I did this as a commission for a birthday gift, image was to be put on a zippo lighter for a cigar smoking dude.
Hey guys I have been super busy for a change lots of different projects big and small going on all at once, eventually I will be able to post some here but for now check out Episode 104 of the Ink Panthers Podcast on which I was the guest of awesome. Direct link is HERE, or you can find it on itunes.

The Madballs Aargh, Dust Brain, and Slobulus previously done separately now combined to use as a print. Done completely in Photoshop on my Cintiq.
Over at Mattycollector they are running a create-a-character contest, below is my fist entry. Part of the contest is to use mainly pre-existing parts from other figures.
Armor-Dillo: EVIL ARMORED WARRIOR
REAL NAME: PLATO D-FENS
One of the many denzians living in the lower mountainlands of Eternia. His thick hide, makes him impervious to most damage. Not officially affliated with Skelletor, or any other group, he generally attacks caravans or other easy targets passing through his territory. This can bring him into conflict with He-man and other forces for good . Armor-Dillo is also often manipulated into doing Skelletor’s bidding by Beastman.
This is my rendition of the classic version of the Madball Dust Brain, from the original first wave of the toys. Done completely in Photoshop on my Cintiq.
From the second, or third tier of 80′s toys comes the Madballs! Like many properties from that time, they have a had a recent Resurrection, and fittingly it had not done as well as it’s peers. Regardless, one cannot deny the gross over-the-top appeal of the disgusting characters as balls.

Here are 4 sample pencil pages I did form a Mark Waid script for 52.
My contribution to the third pic on the Awkward Faces Facebook group.
I made an image of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Raphael as one of the Misfits, for the wall of Illusive comics and Games, a CA Bay area comic shop. I decided to make it into a print. Inked with Japanese brush pen on Bristol, greys and color added in Photoshop.
Years ago Brian Lynch and/or Brian Sadecki asked me to draw a zombie burrito for some reason. I forget why, and I don’t know what I did with the doodle I did. But, I felt like doing a new one. Photoshop over pencil sketch.
Been in a TMNT drawing mood, this is a rough version of an April re-design I am working on. Photoshop over pencils.
I have busy with an animation project, and a few illustrations, none of which I can share yet, but in the meantime, I sketched this up with my double sided grey-black Japanese brush pen, and the atomic energy bands in Photoshop once I scanned it in. ENERGY!…ahem I mean ENJOY!
So Big wow has come and gone, I had a pretty good time, sold some stuff, and socialized with old friends and new pals. It was a relatively small show which suited me just fine, as it was my first time tabling in years. I was a bad tabler however because I completely abandoned my post for both of Frank Cho’s art demonstrations, and the Adam Hughes copic tutorial. *pssst* it was worth it! I still managed to sell some prints and do a couple sketches, my favorite was this one of Deadpool, for a guy’s 12 year old daughter, she apparently loves Deadpool and gore and horror movies, he’s raising her up right!
Hey guys, last minute update if you are in the San Jose, CA area this weekend I will be at table 58 in artist alley at the Big Wow ,(formerly super con), conventions selling prints, doing sketches, gabbin and sitting behind a table a lot.
Here is the site, there is a lot of other cool stuff going on there besides me if you can believe it!
Bryan Cranston as Walter White from Breaking Bad. I did a bic sketch on a piece of scrap paper by my computer, then scanned it and did the rest in photohop. A little more designey than my usual style for this one.
Poetic licence of the meeting between Carl Kolchak and the Zombie, from the classic episode of the Nightstalker series.
Roughs in Photoshop, inks on Bristol, digital clean-up and color in Photoshop.
Just a quick sketch I did in-between computer art jobs for pay today.
Last night Q ans I were talking about how we should make a Sci-Fi cartoon.
That is the vague inspiration for this chap.
Another Kolchack sketch, cleaned it up a little in photoshop. I think this is closer to how he should look. Hard to make him look older and haggard, without making him look old and tired.
Did two more sketches during 2 more episodes tonight, used blue pencil with regular #2 graphite over it, scanned and blue removed. Tried using a lap board for the first time, felt better on my back but worse on my stomach.
Kolchak the night stalker again, more than a sketch, but still not perfect. From the short lived cult 70′s show that was a fore runner to the X-files. Done completely on my Cintiq in Photoshop. I used a new brush for the inking, still included with Photoshop, but new to me. I also experimented with the coloring a bit mixing it between the lasso technique and freehand brushing.
Heard about this show a while ago, and when I listened to an episode of the Retroist about it recently I decided to Netflix it. Sketched this with a bic while watching. It was one of many I did, but the only one I am not too ashamed of to show.
Pin up done for the upcoming French edition of Mike Dawson’s Aceface the Mod with the metal arms.
roughs done of my cintiq in Photoshop. Inks done on a sheet p of 11×17 Paris bleed proof paper, with a combo of Japanese brush pen and .08 and .01 pigma pens.
Scanned in and then digital white out, revisions, and grays done in Photoshop.
Below you can see the progress and changes made along the way:
Newly commissioned design zombie hunter monster. inked with Japanese brush pen, and .01 and .08 pigma pens for the metal stuff.
BEBOP from the old early 90′s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon.
done for my buddy Nick
Japanese brush pen on bristol, scanned and colored in Photoshop. used a texture in the BG, and on his pants, shoulder pads and vest. Second time ever trying texture, last time was over a year ago….baby steps lol.
