Monthly Updates

This summer, I have been barraged by adventure. And while adventures are absolutely wonderful, they are also quite time consuming, and make me prone to procrastination.

My wife and I flew back to the promised land in May. Texas is a beautiful place, and it has been our great pleasure to traverse the countryside, visiting friends and family along the way.

We hung out with my parents and sister in Sugar Land, were able to attend my sister’s graduation from A&M University in College Station, spent Memorial Day on the river in Wimberley (they have a fantastic rodeo), spent a week in the beautiful hill country of Boerne, TX with Jess’ mom and step dad, and just got back from an amazing weekend in Austin filled with old friends.

It’s so good to be home.

Creature – Inks | Penny and Sparrow

In spite of all our travels I have still been making artwork. So, here’s the revision to the album cover I did for a friend. He wanted a little less darkness in the piece, something that offered more hope. These are the inks.

Creature – Colors | Penny and Sparrow

Here are the final colors with Type. If you like the typeface I used for “penny and sparrow” it’s called “Nilland.” A nice font I’ve used a lot recently (and it’s free).

Greg Kasavin Portrait | KillscreenDaily.com

Here’s another portrait I did for Kill Screen. Greg Kasavin is the former executive editor at GameSport who recently transitioned to game design. Currently he’s working on a project called Bastion at Supergiant Games, which looks pretty fantastic.

David Lee | Tom O’Neal

Tom O’Neal is my dad’s best friend (I’ve called him Uncle Tom since I could talk). He recently commissioned me to do an illustration of an old friend of his, David Lee. When Uncle Tom was a kid, he went on a trail ride with several other kids and their dads. Seeing that the boys were getting a bit rowdy, David Lee grabbed a snack, and cracked it’s head off like a bullwhip. Needless to say, the boys were angels after that.

Ezekiel Comic | SVA Book Project

Here’s page eleven from my up and coming comic Ezekiel. I’m hoping to knock out 28 pages this summer, to be ready for the Book Show in September. I’ve learned a lot drawing comics, but I still don’t feel up to the task of doing it professionally.
We’ll see what happens.
