Duel Twin

Hey look at that, I used her in a poster for my friend's band.

Creating my art by collage


I love living in the age of digital editing/collage, no x-acto knife and rubber cement needed theses days.

This sad sot of a girl will be placed into that repeating pattern I posted a few weeks ago.

I had this vision of the composition when started drawing each of the individual images.

Personally I find this way far less stressful for me, especially if had to illustrate it all in one go.

E.O.C. Edgerton On Call

Greetings,

I'm writing the first rough draft of the amazing Edgerton and his bizarre world. I have a very short attention span, as some of you know. I'm going to try to stick with this character and flesh him out. I want to hone my totally average writing chops. It will be a great time before the 'inter-webs' sees this guy in action, but I want to make a fully realized world that Edgerton can play in. It should be absolutely ridiculous.

Episode 9: Lost in Translation

I had so much fun drawing this one. I love breaking the subjects out of the panels, it's hard to show restraint... I could use this technique all the time. But if I use it too much that would cheapen it... I guess. Once again Mr. Speets delivers with the humorous banter.

Episode 8: Gordian Bra.

Normally I start with a visual narrative, and Cory comes up with the witty dialogue after its been drawn. But this time he had this hilarious notion about how difficult it would be if you had to wear astronaut gloves. The impossible nature of how bulky they are, and have to work on complex things.  In this case... undoing an alien lady's bra.

Vinyl Concept Codename: Slop!

This guy broke in my brand new scanner! I think this weirdo would make a great vinyl figure sculpture type thingy. I just wish I had one of "those" type of connections to get him made by a professional company.

Last weeks Episode 7

I forgot to publish it! Silly me.

Patterns: Rinse and repeat.

Maybe wrapping paper? 
I like making these... it helps me relax. 
I'll probably draw more of these type of images.

The Fiction Project Oddessy Starts...

I just got it in the mail a few scant days before the heart of the holiday season. My subject is Nightmare. So I'll be digging up old dream memories of the past... that stuck-out as totally disturbing to me.

This will be the most honest account of the strangeness of my unconsciousness. I'm nervous on how people will react. I mean all of it is intangible (not real) in a sense, right? But these are... and were... fading glimpses deep inside of me at one point. Entities that invaded my dreams, and objects telling me how to do things, etc.

It could all be my brain de-fragmenting like a computer, so I can remember the next day, and keep my mind less cluttered. Maybe it is my true self communicating ideas...

All I can do now is document them as best I can, I've got till May first.

Infinity Wall

Here is the first episode (every Wednesday).  I'll publish it here too to make life less complicated for my fellow blog watchers, but if you want to follow it via Wordpress we have the actual site there: http://infinitywallcomix.com/
Look it up on Facebook, and "like" it if you want.  I hope everyone enjoys it... even if it has swears. Cheers!

Fan art I guess...

I started doing some fan art of my favorite local comic artists in Minnesota, and on the web. Its my tribute of appreciation for them making comics and creating sequential art (because its fucking hard). This one is of Ryan Dow http://ryandow.com/ic/ he has got a great eye for pacing, and I like his general honest view of life. So I drew this for him.

The Fiction Project.

The Fiction Project is an opportunity to tell stories in a different way by fusing text and visual art. The moleskin is dinky (5.5 x 8.5 inches) I dunno if I can draw that small. I chose the subject "nightmare", and I have some good ones. Like the bad dream I had recently... I was petting a tiny kitten, and it had a giant eye in its back. Yep, I got plenty of creepy shit write and draw out.

Anybody else that reads this site, I'd recommend going for it also. Why not?

Infinity Wall Comic!

My fellow friend and co-worker... the insanely talented Cory Speets
See here: http://www.gigposters.com/designer/57842_Cory_Speets.html
We have an unconventional way of producing them... in reverse order.
I draw them first, then Cory writes them. Simple as that. Strangeness will ensue, I assure you. The first will posted here and other websites next Wednesday... every Wednesday until we tire of it.

Hopefully not though.

Voldemort Art night!


On Tuesday nights I head over to my friends house and we have an art night. So we all drew our version of that guy who shall not be named. Plus I hammered out a quick sketch of a random Goddess and a multi-tailed fox.

San Francisco!



My crummy Picture of Lombard Street.

I loved it... seriously... I just wish I could have seen more of it. I was there on business, and only really had two hours of my own time to look around. I am most certainly going back... on my own time... someday. I am jealous of that city and its sheer variety character.

Yet another art show update!

Here is another cropped section (detail I guess) of one of my illustrations for the show. It will be in full color also, but I want that to be a surprise for the folks that show up to the opening.

Ghosts art show posters are finished!

Thanks to Pat Callahan for producing them, he did a stellar job.

Also thanks to Will Dinski for posting the photos (an extremely wonderful cartoonist in his own right).  


You can take a look here at the posters.

I'm starting to reach fever pitch here...

Ghosts art show progress... process.

 The first mysterious illustration/painting (1 of 3). For the upcoming Ghosts art show.
Its been awhile since I've used tracing paper. But this was the way it panned out to compose it for Photoshop, especially when I scan it in the computer. To make life easier to edit this monster of a drawing. I joke because its basically the "real world" version of layers. It seems to look visually cluttered right now, but once I included color in the ghost "streams"... I hope it will all come together. I'll post the next step soon.
