Coming Days

Before I start a new page I usually try to warm up my hands and draw something in my sketchbook. I did this today. I also felt like it had been a long time since the blog had gotten a good finished piece of original art. Hopefully there will be more of these in the coming days.

Aunts&Uncles

So the next part of Sam that I need to draw includes his aunt and uncle, and I needed to design them, but I was really putting that off. So I finally got around to doing that. So I can finally start working on Sam again. Here they are. Nothing spectacular. I just wanted them to look ordinary and slightly old. I'm sure their designs will get tweeked before I finally put them on paper, but this will be close. I did about 4 or 5 drawings for each character, but these were the two best. I also did this with a new kind of Micron pen, that I am totally loving at the moment. I might use it for the entirety of Sam. Hopefully there will be more tomorrow.

Joker

So when I was at comic-con I noticed that everyone had a Joker drawing in the artist alley, so I thought I'd give it a shot. It turned out OK. I think he kind of looks like an Asian Joker.

The Island

So I'm back from the island. I've been back for a couple days now, but just needed to unwind a little before I got back to the blog. I've been doing drawings, and should be posting them in the coming days. I just wanted to post to post some pics I took from my Island trip.

The New House.GreenField Village. The most boring place on earth.I love Wieners.My fucked Up Feet.

Homage Collage Finished / Leaving Again

So I made a couple hard copies of Homage Collage that are basically promos, and I gave them out to a couple people that worked on the album. If you want a copy shoot me a message or email or something. I've only got a couple left.

Also it's going to be a while before I post again. I'm going on the second part of my vacation tomorrow. Going up to Canada. I'm taking my camera with me, and some stuff for drawing. Hopefully I'll have a bunch of stuff to show off when I get back. See you guys in a couple weeks.

Comic-Con Part 2

So me and my good buddy Travis Thomas treked down to San Diego this weekend to attend the comic-con. It was a ton of fun. Here are some pictures and notes from it. Also check those gas prices.
Here is all the merch I accumilated from the days events.
Me.
Travis.
Ashley Wood's giant size Bramble Bot.
The Dharma Initiative. Boosh!
Castle Fucking Grayskull!
Giant Hellboy wall hanging. I just thought this was cool.
Star Wars Clone Wars. There was tons of this shit.
Me in front of Nite Owl's ship.
Lost Creators Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse with Josh Schwartz the creator of Gossip Girl, The OC, and Chuck. The guys who do terminator and pushing daisies were also there.The super bad ass Entertainment weekly panel with Kevin Smith, Judd Apatow, Zack Snyder, and Frank Miller. I also went to a panel for Kevin Smith's new movie, and saw some clips from it.

So while looking through stuff for comic-con I noticed that a ton of my favorite artist were going to be there, so I went out and bought a sketch book hoping that a couple of them might do something for me. I got some really good ones.
Franky by Eric Powell.
I don't know what this guy's name is, but the Awesome Dan Hipp did this for me. It's one of the bad guys from Gyakushu! (or however you spell that comics name)
Finally, Bamba Lad by Ashley Wood.
