My Portland
Here's a drawing that is going to be in the Portland Funbook 3, as well as the basis for a piece in my art show in a slightly different, painted form. ¶ 7:45 PM 0 Comments

Works In Progress: Radio Skull!
Ok, so I'm working like crazy on my art show which opens in Sept. at the Pony Club, and one of the things I'm doing is filling up a wall with small works, priced to (hopefully) sell. I thought it'd be interesting to show you the process I went through to make one of them.
I started with this drawing, just kind of doodling out of my head, thinking about Flemmish Portraiture and Moebius or something, and came out with this result.. I liked the face OK, but I didn't LOVE it.. So when I was painting I made some adjustments and came up with this:
I wish I'd scanned it in at some point midway through painting, just in case anyone wanted to see what a half-assed gouache approach I have.. Anyhow, the finished piece, complete with glowing blue skull! This and much more will be available for sale and perusal at my show in Sept. ¶ 5:24 PM 2 Comments

Eagles Be Barfin'
More work for hire, for the bar I work for. This is going to be in print in the Mercury's Eat and Drink Guide 2008. I'm pretty happy with how it came out, I scanned in the eagle from an old comic advert (for the bicentennial!) and did the rest by hand on the wacom tablet. I do wish I'd taken the time/thought to hand trace the fonts to integrate them more in with all the textured drawing and stuff, but oh well. Next time.
Every time something I do gets printed in a wide-spread publication, I get kind of goofily excited, and this is probably the most exciting one yet- It'll be in an insert in every mercury on the streets and most likely held on to for a while by most people, so more people will see this than saw my comic book! haha. sigh. ¶ 5:09 PM 0 Comments
