MIA

I've been MIA for a while here, eh? I'll throw out a quick summary on the past present and future!

So I now live and work in Northern Ohio (Sylvania) as an Illustrator for a fantastic company called Root Learning. It's been a wonderful experience and I'm learning new things everyday. Because of that though, my personaly work (and the sites that I usually update on a regular basis) have taken a hit.

Fast forward to the present, and I have some new things on the table. I've been talking a lot lately with Wesley Eggebrecht and we have decided to go in and use each other to get inspired and produce more outside of our jobs. A new site called "36 Pyramids" is going to be the place to go to not only see new stuff by myself and Wes but his brother Ryan also. It's only maybe a week in the making but we are already rockin' on some new projects.

I just finished my first personal piece in about 3 months, give or take. It can be viewed here:

Keep an eye out for a more consistent stream of new work!

New Stuff!

A couple things I have been up too! First is a new comic page (page 6) for the fun collaborative project me and Chris Hoobler are working (Check out his stuff in my links!) and the middle three are experiments and such for The Hallway Show blog and last is just a character based on a "Father Time" theme. Exciting things coming up soon!

Hallway Show things:
Toby

Toby

Bjork

Gone Fishin'

So I have been stalling on posting this comic project for a little while now but have finally decided it was time. I spent a good chunk of time working on every stage of this and it was a pretty long process, I enjoyed every bit of it. I plan on eventually stretching this out to a 32 page story. Lemme know what you think!

An 8 page story following an old mans fishing adventure.

Pencils

Some tests to see which technique I wanted to use for the linework.

Samples!

It's been a while, but I have an excuse! I am currently working on an 8 page comic that is 6 pages done and 2 left for coloring. Still debating on how or where or when to post everything but here is a little sample. It's titled Gone Fishin' and has been loads of fun! Anyways this is just a small sample of the sixth page. Hope everyone is well!

Zombies

Zombies! A new illustration I did, was originally going to be my skatedeck design but I scratched it and ran with the whale theme. I love zombies almost as much as I love whales though. Tried a few new things here and there on it but mostly just a piece to add to the portfolio.

Narwhal

Just finished up another deck, Digital one this time. It will be printed through Mobil Skateboards and should be at the Party on the 14th so stop by and pick one up!

Farewell Fox

Just worked up a Custom deck for Mobil Skateboards launch party May 14th! It's gonna be a fun time with great tunes and some awesome boards so stop by and check it out at the Magic Stick! My deck will be for sale as well as many others!

Four

My colored version, page 4! This Wacom Pen I'm waiting on can not get here any sooner.

Second

Here's my Linework for the second page, fourth page overall, of the collaboration between me and Hoo? check out his blog for the first and third page! Just awaiting my new Wacom pen to get shipped here so I can begin coloring it in!

The Hunt

More comic page stuff! This is another side project that I'm doing with Wes So keep an eye out for more soon!

Freestyle

Helllllo! Got a new comic page up! A good friend and fellow artist Chris Hoobler and in his words here is basically what we are doing "collaborate in a very free, loose way with these comics. Basically the idea is that I do a page, he draws inspiration from what I did and creates the second page." We are pretty much just having fun and just running loose with this. Anyways the first page can be viewed on his blog and this is the second page, he will make the following one and so on and so on. Maybe if we keep this going we can make something out of it? we'll see.

Doombots!

New Illustration I just finished up for fun, the topic "Zach and the Doombots" was over at conceptart.org and I felt compelled to do an illustration with it.

Drawinging

Hello Internet, here's a couple new drawings that I plan on coloring/painting in the near future. Trying to have a little fun with it all!

And USA is gonna win gold in ice hockey.. Although the last time I made a bold hockey prediction (Red Wings last year..) on my blog it failed miserably so who knows.
