Continuing the 2015 calendar project, this month is Akira! Again. Just a very important comic (to me and recipient of all these cal pages!). Did lots and lots of texture on this bad boy and bloomy light effects (new to my work stuff). Different styling and very pleased with the outcome. More comin’.
It’s October so we’re watching spookies. Here’s good ol’ Deputy Dewey from Scream 1.
The Fine Art of Design.
Did a magazine ad for a great vintage shop in Palm Springs. Was a fun project and allowed me to do more textural work which I’ve been getting into recently, and a touch of screentone which I’ve found hard to incorporate into my style but like the challenge a lot.
Season 3 Episode 10 in which a supposed NSA agent tries to keep Mulder and Scully from uncovering a dastardly alien-human hybrid experiment gone bad. This is the guy that was in the fantastic zombie film Pontypool, which I highly recommend for anyone liking radio-play style, mostly implied horror.
This is part of an ongoing project to catalogue the villains from the television series X Files. Check out the others here!
A new mix for the season. The previous soul mix was pretty great, but this one folks, phew. I also got pretty obsessive (shocker) about sweetening these old vinyl rips, seeing as though they were flat as all get out. Nothing fancy other than that, just ten excellent soul songs from the 60s & 70s. Please enjoy.
Bird 11: Yellow-rumped Warbler
This is a fun bird that you see pretty often. The "yellow-rumped warbler" category is often used to generally classify a group of four different warbler varieties, if you needed to know that. This is one of the cute ones. I have the Birds of Brooklyn poster nearly all laid out with type and everything. Should be rolling it out real soon.
Made some invites for my, well, social club. Our next event is home beer-brewing with my buddy Mike and I hosting and teaching! Mike will be doing most of the teaching but I will be providing color commentary and possible doodles if explanations get a bit too heady...
My buddy does an epic Wrestlemania party each year, so I made some "get out of a shot" cards for the various games where when you lose, you drink. I think it's the only way to get people pumped about wrestling if they're not already. I went with a few famous finishers here. I'm new to wrestling but I already know I missed the best guys, namely Hulk and Macho Man.
Legends of Rock #07 - John Lennon
Fab four week closes with the dashing John. He sang, played guitar and wrote consistently great Beatles tracks. These guys were truly Legends of Rock.
(all the Beatles are available through my shop and will be part of a set as well)
Been working on early stages of an ABC book. All pretty goofy alliteration with some fun animals. Twenty six is a lot of letters...
Being from Maryland, this baseball season was the best anyone could have hoped for. Despite the Nationals having the best record in the league, my allegiances remain with the Baltimore Orioles. Tonight, they battle for the wild-card spot, so in support, I drew the new/retro logo that I'm quite fond of (glad to be over the lifeless bird silhouette). Go O's.
