Wolverine done on the Cintiq. Graytone with color layer dropped over it. More comicbooky than when we were working on the X-Men Origins: Wolverine video game

Sketchnight Tablet PC sketch

Tried painting from a photo tonight. Mixed feelings on the result. Need to get faster too.

Sketchnight tablet drawing 12/29/09

Meh-ow. Wow. The colors are somewhat different from when I'm looking at the tablet PC. Maybe a bit more saturated. Should probably try and use some reference to get the lighting and figure down better.

This will most likely be the last post for the year, so have a happy, safe, and prosperous new year, everyone!

Sketchnight tablet drawing


Here's a drawing done on the tablet PC tonight at sketchnight. It's fun to kinda mess around on but I'm not sure if the pressure sensitivity and resolution is up for doing more major work.

Fallcon 2009 Wrap Up

Made it back to Madison, safe and sound. Here are the few extra pieces I did for the show. The marker drawing of Supergirl was done for the art auction to benefit the Lupus foundation and the Comic Book Legal defense fund. It was paired up with the two volumes of my Sketchgames and ended up going for $150! Wow! Thank you whoever won the piece and for helping out those charities.

I can't really say enough good things about Fallcon. Nick and the crew are awesome as always and know how to take care of all the 200 artists there. Thanks for having us, we'll do it again next year. Saw many cool costumes. Great work on those, folks. Thanks to the fans that dropped by to check out my work, too!

Good Evening from Fallcon 2009


Well, the first day is over and it was great seeing all the people looking for books and through all the art there. Here are some pics of my table and some of the commissions I had done today.




Good Morning from Fallcon!


Baltimore, you don't know what your missing. This is the midwest. This is Minneapolis, MN. The weathermen warned of this and I was actually surprised to see it when I drew back the blinds of my hotel room. Yup, there it is. Snow. I think it'll be a great day. Looking forward to meeting and greeting fans and working up some commissions as well. Fallcon here we come!

Convention appearance: FALLCON October 10 and 11, 2009

Yes, it's been a while since my last post. No excuses! Shame on me. But just dropping a note for next week's show in Minneapolis, MN. FALLCON is once again nice enough to have me and my brother Phil out there this year and we are pleased as punch to attend!

If you're in town or will be going to the show, please stop by and have a look at my new sketchbook SKETCHGAMES volume 2. It's all new artwork (well, it's older work but since you haven't seen it, it's new to you!) and tidbits of my recollections of the time they were done. There's plenty of Legionnaires, Video Game Gals, and even some concept art from the first game I worked on; Star Wars: Jedi Outcast. I will also be doing commissions as always!

Hope to see you there!

San Diego Comicon 2009

All hands on deck!


As I write this I'm about 34,000 feet in the air. Using the wireless set up the have on this flight. It's nice and gives me something to do while I'm trying to stay awake and get back on central time after a late night of packing. Should also think to bring a DC adaptor to plug in.

All and all the convention was really packed, more than it seemed to be before. Lots more lines and lots of people waiting. But I think that's typical for this show now. My table set up, which I forgot to take a picture of was pretty typical, but probably lacking in something that would really grab the attention of people not familiar with me or my work. I probably did about 15 sketches for the show.

Wednesday we went out with some friends to LaJolla and along the sea cave there was a group of sea lions. From what I hear, there are plans to kick them off a beach somewhere nearby. Too bad. I think they're pretty cool to watch. Convention wise, it was Preview Night and it was packed. This was my day to say hi to fellow artists and trade some sketchbooks and buy various things.

Here's some random pics from the show.

Sketches!


Costumes!


Brush with celebs!



Rocking out to Lego Rock Band!


Weird swag!


Teaming Humanity!


I might have more when I get home and sort through my thoughts and pictures. Until then, I hope you were entertained.
