Buckling Down
Just updated my links. I added some artists that I'm interested in and some other online communities of value. On a side note I plan on really buckling down and doing some good stuff this semester so be on the look out.

Wake Up Dead CD Cover Art
Wake Up Dead is a metal band that some of my friends belong to. I used a program called Alchemy to do a digital sketch of the beetle in a mirror mode that is one of Alchemy's features. I then brought it into Photoshop for some additional painting and texture.

Druid Foxtrot
AW Project Golf
80 lb. Vellum.
16 lb. Trace
This is the beginning of a process where I attempt to learn something new from a successful artist I admire. This time it is Ashley Wood.
I picked up a nice Pental brush pen, tracing paper, and vellum paper for the this illustration project. The vellum is noticeably more transparent than the tracing paper. The figurative sketch is getting closer to the loose expressive stroke that I want to achieve but it still feels sloppy and not deliberate enough for my liking. I'll keep at it. Once I get the line confidence issue resolved the plan is to add a masculine/industrial element in the background, then scan the images, color them, and overlay a subtle gritty paper texture.
An additional note on color:
I'm going to keep colors flat, limited, and saturate with an interest in stroke color opposed to just caning the line work in and leaving it black.
More to come.

Tentacle Creatures Versus Pizza Ninja
This was a contest for a mural at a local pizza shop that I finished in the summer of 2008.
Initial concepts.
More concepts.Final Photoshop concept.
The wall to be painted.
The final product. If you look up at the final Photoshop sketch and the image of this mural, you'll notice I didn't deviate very far from that small sketch.
