On the Easel

I have been pretty pathetic about updating this the past two months. I recently cleaned out the area that was originally my studio space two years ago and no longer have to work in my three different places in my house.

Here is a shot of my work area with the 'Beastman' painting that I have been working on the past couple of months visible, as well as, 'Eric the Ginger' which I am currently finishing up on the easel.

Oh, and I may have a new logo for 'Round Robot' soon.

Submitted to Threadless.com - Shameless Self Promotion - Vote It In

I have submitted my first design to Threadless.com, which allows users submit designs which are then voted on by users whether or not they they should get printed.

You click on the link on the upper right hand side if you are on my blog. If you are reading this on Facebook you can vote for it here. You will need to register with the site to vote.

The design is a slightly revised version of Sasquath with Saw from a few posts ago. I think the silhouette of the grass works better visually than the roots.

Beastman

I'm working on a painting of Beastman from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Here is my initial sketch.

Sasquatch with Saw

I have really been slacking with posts recently. I'll try and work on that.

I'm thinking about making this a full scale painting. Since this was done digitally, does that make the process I will be using to paint analog?

Birds the Word

I have not posted anything in a long time.

Peter Venkman, Ph.D of Ghostbusters

Dr. Venkman, played in the film Ghostbusters by William James Murray, was drawn in Adobe Illustrator. I haven't really used Illustrator that much for actual illustrations, but I'm pretty pleased with the final result.

Triggertown

Being unemployed in the design world I can do whatever I feel like. So in my spare time I created a poster for Triggertown. They are thee premiere bluegrass band in Lincoln, Nebraska with a wash basin string bass. Actually, I don't know of any others, but I have seen them live on the streets of Lincoln and they were incredible.

Here is their MySpace page.

And some photos from the performance I saw:

Oops

Forgot to post on Tuesday. I guess I'll shoot for five in a week. This doesn't count by the way.

Crocodile Hugs - Digital Collage

I've have been slacking the past few weeks with posts, so I am going to attempt one every work day this week.

Dr. Z - Final

I finished painting this yesterday. I don't think I want to add anything to the background, but I'm still debating it.

Magazine, Tambourine, Wolverine

I wanted to post this last Friday in conjunction with the release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine in theaters (which I really have no plan on seeing until it arrives on DVD), but I did not finish in time. I'm not 100% satisfied with it, but I'm going to post it anyway.

Designed a background for my desktop today. You can use it as well for your personal use. It is formatted to fit a HD widescreen and if you can't figure out how to change it, you are just out of luck or it might look weird.

Abe in a Frame (Updated Frame)

I have slowly been working on this for a few weeks.

Abe's Been Framed - 'shopped

If you saw this post previous to April 1st you saw Abe in a different frame. I wasn't very happy with it so it has been changed.
