Art by Gil Kane

I needed to see some Gil Kane! I like his pencil layouts and his energy.

Dalai Lama Graphic Novel

I have posted art from the Dalai Lama Graphic Novel I am working on before. This is another tease for the book that should be out in 2015.

Advertising Art- Fiber One

This is a board that targets a health minded woman. Look at my shape! Ever since I started eating Fiber One, I have gotten thinner!

Advertising Art- Washers and Dryers

The only reason to draw beautiful Washers and Dryers is to sell them. Or sell Detergent.

Advertising Art with Green Giant

Green Giant Veggies can be served at any time of year! Those baby sweet peas are really tasty.

Advertising Art -Let's have Dinner!

What could be better than dinner with family? Dinner with tacos of course!

Advertising Art can be Background Art

Sometimes you need background art for an Animatic. This is an example of some BGs I've drawn. Usually needed for a car spot.

Advertising Art with Savion Glover

The best part of waking up, is Folgers in your cup! You might start dancing like a pro.

Advertising Art

I wanted to get more of my Advertising art out there, so I will be posting a bunch of my previous boards. Be sure to click the label to see more art though the years!

More Sketches

A random selection of sketches from previous 'Drinky Drawing' nights. I usually do more drinking than drawing!

ANGUISH! Did I spell that right?

More art from the upcoming Dalai Lama Graphic Novel!

SPENT - Looking For Change

I did this neat project for the Spent: looking for change Documentary, that has been getting some attention recently. This is a time lapse piece that will lead to the website where you can see the full movie. Or you can just click HERE.

This was a great time and an important project. Watch the film!

Samuree Sketch

I had been thinking about the old forgotten character, Samuree from Continuity Comics. They cancelled the book maybe 25 years ago? It's ready for a reboot!

Drawing of the Day

World Cup Art

As I am loving the Copa del Mundo, I thought I would post an old futbol themed storyboard frame.

Go USA!

Fabriano Drawing Paper

I am familiar with the Watercolor paper made by Fabriano. High-end paper that I like, so I was excited to see this drawing pad offered at my local art supply store. It's made from recycled paper and that's a plus!

This works for me. I bought the smaller 11.5x8.25 size and I would check out a larger 17 by 11 size if they made it.

World Wrestling Comics

Years ago, I was the inker on a series of comics featuring the stars of the WWF.  Ron Wilson did the pencils and we tried to keep the athletes likenesses true to life. There were adventures with Rick Rude, Ultimate Warrior, Sting and many other wrestling stars of the day. The wrestler Sting is still around, but with darker makeup. More gothic make up I believe.

Now, I have learned about WW Comics! Different creative group, but with the same bone breaking action. On the left you can see a page from my run the WWF comic and on the right, an AD for the new comic.

I hope the new book is as much fun as the old one was!

Sketch of the Day

Just a sketch with an Asian theme.

Sketchy Layouts

This layout is from a Batgirl idea I had. I only got two pages into it before I had to abandon it.
Oh well...

Unpublished X-Men

I came across a neat blog the other day called unpublishedxmen.blogspot.com. Illustrations and commissioned drawings of X-men art. Some inventory art, some foreign covers! I enjoyed looking at his site and thought about the X-men art I have. Here is a repost of an unpublished sketch drawn by Art Adams.

I think it was for the old X-Men Classic series! Check out the unpublished site at the link above.

Car Storyboards

It was busy earlier in the month for Storyboards! As all sorts of companies are preparing for the World Cup going on in Brazil this summer. Here is a little of what I drew for an upcoming advertisement.

It drives well! It's nimble! Buy this car!

Dalai Lama Graphic Novel

Last year, my friend Steve Buccellato enlisted my help on a great project! It's a graphic novel biography, an authorized illustrated story of His Holiness, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet! It will tell of his full life story so far. Living in exile from his homeland, living as a writer and a proponent of peace. Check the above link to find out more.
As for my involvement, Steve wanted his layouts tightened up for a computer painter to complete. I think the finished pages look great and I can't wait for the finished product! Here is a page to show a bit of the process.
