ART ZEN PODCAST INTERVIEW

admin — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:43:02 +0000

I did an interview last week with Darrel and Thomas from the ARTZEN podcast. I really enjoyed it, I hope you’ll give it a listen. We talk a lot about what it takes to succeed in comics, and I talk about my career some. I try and get across some of the hard lessons I’ve had to learn in my career and in the development of my art. Hopefully there’s lots of good info in there for you. Please share if you get something out of it.

Part ONE
Part TWO

Thank you again Darrel and Thomas for having me on. I really enjoyed the discussion.

Walmart sketches – 1.19.2012

admin — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 22:54:20 +0000

We had a good group of marks at the walmart this week. It was a lot of fun trying to catch them all. Although we did get busted. Which almost never happens. Luckily everyone seemed to really enjoy their sketches.

Sketchbook – January 15 2012

admin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 05:02:28 +0000

These are some of my favorite sketches from the last week. These are actually each from a different place. I try to do at least one sketch when I go out in public. It helps keep me loose so that by the time I get back to the studio I don’t have to spend a couple hours getting warmed up to work.

Self portrait. This is basically how I draw.

Mal and Chad Fanart!

admin — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 10:38:48 +0000

I recently did some fanart for my friend Stephen McCranie that does the wonderful all-ages graphic novel Mal and Chad! I was finally able to meet this awesome creator in Albuquerque a couple months back when my wife and I were driving back from LA. Its always such a relief to meet other people that do what you do, and to find out that you’re not so crazy, given all it takes to make good comics. Stephen’s Second Mal and Chad book is being released very soon! If you’ve got a young reader (or like me just really like fun stories) you should definitely GET THIS BOOK!

Biker Tattoo

admin — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 23:23:25 +0000

It’s been a while since I did an actual illustration (been a while since I had time!) But I finally wrapped up all of my 2011 projects just in time for the new year. What a relief!

I started this last night, and finished it up today. That makes it officially my first drawing of 2012. Hopefully this year will be as blessed as last year.

This painting will be at the Intersections: Art and the Body art show this Friday from 6 – 9. I’m putting it up for sale for $250. Email me if you’re interested.

The painting is watercolor, pen and airbrush on 12×8 bristol board.

pasta lover

Sketches from the Olive garden. I know it looks like he was eating a steak, but it was actually pasta, I was just too lazy to draw the noodles.

Fat Squirrell

admin — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 04:35:03 +0000

My wife and I were in LA a couple weeks ago, and we saw this little guy in one of the neighborhoods around Disney feature animation. He was so fat and chubby, he couldn’t make it up the tree. I finally got around to finishing up the sketch.

Sunday sketching at Market Street

admin — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 01:46:26 +0000

Sketching people at Market Street in Lubbock Texas. My friend Brandon posted his sketches too (some of the same people).

I like the old cowboy in the puffy jacket. When I get old, I’m going to wear a puffy jacket, just for safety, not even to keep warm.
