Album Art

Wow, its been over a month. Time flys when your working like a dog. I just finished 6 peices for an upcoming book for Paradigm Concepts. Cant show it yet, not till its published I guess. Also Im closing in on finishing a top secret (makes sound important right?) board game for Jolly Roger Games. So much neet stuff that I cant post yet and not enought time to work on anything for myself at the moment, so here is a peice I did for an album cover for Denise Dill's Heart Beat Balloon several months back. This is just the inked image. I heavilly manipulated it in photoshop to make it look like it was aged and printed on a letterpress.

More Floating Heads!

Jeez I never noticed how much I like drawing faces till I started this blog. Just some ink sketches I did a few days ago for the fun of it. Very quick and ruff. After posting them I can see all kinds of stuff that I should have worked out before inking but oh well.

10 points to anyone who can identify the hansome devil in the second image.

Little More Ink

Here are a couple more images for Swashbucklers... one of these days I will find time to do something for myself again... like this goofy ink sketch.

Guitarded!

New Clutch CD came out today! Just now listening to the first tracks...ahhh. Its not often I get excited about new CDs these days. Most new (radio) music sucks. Its all over produced, under writen crap.. the sort of stuff I couldn't imagine anyone saying with any sinserity. Enough about that... Clutch is good!

On a different note, but still in tune with new music (sweet, double pun!), here is a little lute pic. Dork art and dork music... oh the harmonies (lame pun... I'll stop now)

Full Page for Swashbucklers

Man-O-Man do I have my hands full. Two 72 page books (art and layout) and a fun looking board game all from Jolly Roger Games, a baby on the way, and home renovations about ready to start. Good by sleep, hello caffeine!

Here is another piece for the JRG Swashbucklers game, many more in the works. I like the bottom half but the top half could have turned out better. Maybe if I have time (haha) I can redo it.

More Zombie Madness

DVD Booklet Cover (in jewel case)

Tray Card

Disc Face
Here is part of the art for a new DVD package Im working on for Gore Galore / My Pet Zombies. This stuff is awesome, check it out at www.gore-galore.com. Their business cards are toe tags... with a toe attached. So cool.

Here is a quick one for the Swashbucklers game. I've got lots more started. Hopefully I can get another one or two of these done this weekend. I also started the layout on the book. 72 pages with art as needed... so much to do. If only day-light savings time could just add an hour (or more) to the day.

One For All and All For One!

A lot has been going on, but not much art. Things like... Im going to be a dad, again! The next critter is due in october. Oh the (involuntary) sleep deprivation. Luckily all my deadlines fall before then, and thanks to those deadlines I will be posting lots more stuff here on a semi regular basis. I have a few projects in the works but the Swashbucklers RPG is on the front burner right now. Here is a piece for or inspired by the game.

Pointy Teeth

Wow, its been awhile since my last post. I have a bunch of fun jobs piled up on me right now. Here is an inked out sketch from one of the projects. I'll post some more of the old school horror monster mugs soon. Then I'll be moving on to pirates and space monsters. ...and I'll try to get away from the collection of portriats seen here. Really, I can draw more than a not so pretty face!

Zombies and what not

OK this post is a little off from the illustration route but its zombies so I figured what the hell. A friend of mine owns and runs this place that makes costumes and props of monsters and zombies. You should see the old house he used to work out of. Body parts, blood and latex everywhere. Awesome stuff. So this is an ad that I did for him, that I think will be in upcoming issues of Fangoria and something else. I'll also updating his catalog again this year. Best part about doing this kinda of work is telling the wife, "don't wait up, I've got zombies to attend to".

Spooky Eyed

Here is my semi-weekly image. Im doing two horror related projects right now so here is a warm up image. Its not part of either project... just time mis-managment and a bit of fun. I've been wanting to round out the portfolio in the scary end so Im sure there are more to come.

My First Blarg!

Im starting up my own blog as a means for critisium on my "dork art" and networking with other dork art comrads. I plan to regularly post sketches, published, and unpublished works in comics/gaming/childrens illustration. So please feel free comment or just say hi.

As for my first image, this maybe used in the upcoming Swashbuckler's RPG by Jolly Roger Games. I should be working on the cover, but instead did this quick image as a warm up. More to follow.
