Heisenberg

Up late tonight reminiscing about the greatest show to ever air on television, so i put this together. Also, I've been trying to study how they color comic books and this is what I've been able to come up with so far. I think I need a little more practice.



Skull Pass

Just a quickie.


Radical Scion xB Custom

This was an assignment that I took my students through in Photoshop class. The objective was to create a customized version of this Scion xB. This version, however, is more radical than the class version (it's posted somewhere down the line in here). I did this version in the last 30 minutes of class to show my students how quickly you can do something once you know and understand the tools.

Shipwreck

So I follow this really amazing artist named Feng Zhu, and he puts out this series of vids on YouTube, right? Well, he's got this recent one where he challenges you to paint in a single layer with no undo's. So uhhhhh, yeah... there it is. One layer, same brush, no undo's.

You can feed it peanuts... but I would watch your fingers.

Giant Temples

Gesture Poses for the Animated Animator

I drew this up to help my students understand gesture poses and how to do them. Could they create a pose that said exactly what the character was feeling?

OMEGA PARADOX

Mark Sparacio, comic artist for Marvel and DC comics, has created a new comic series titled OMEGA PARADOX. He has cast me as one of the villains (but why? I'm such a nice guy! NO REALLY, I AM! DON'T ARGUE WITH ME!) Ummm... but anyway... Thanks Mark! You're really awesome for letting me do this! =)

Graff Canz

Something I put together for our school art show - faculty entry.

BACK TO MY ROOTS

These are sorta old but I wanted to post them up here anyway. For those of you that don't know, my roots in art stem back to my early days involved in graffiti.



This one I printed to a canvas.

This is the next vintage racer I'm working on. This one is based on cars from the 1920's and 1950's with very square body panels, long chrome, and sweeping tail fins.

Vintage Racer

This is a vintage racer I designed inspired from a video by Feng Zhu, one of my favorite concept artists.
