Front Of A Recent Wedding Invite Illustrated For A Couple Getting Hitched In Scotland. 

Pixel party scene from a rejected poster design. Maybe I'll turn it into a Where's Cha-Cha-Charles poster.

Signature Woes

I changed my signature about a year ago. It was a big deal and I’m still coming to grips with how it deteriorates under pressure or time constraints. Time constraints here mostly mean impatience, because I can’t remember the last time I was given a certain amount of time to make my signature happen.  Anybody with signature woes knows what I mean when I say pressure. It has to look good.

Phone Pixels

Remember those many months in which all I did was pixel art? I hardly remembered, but this week I re-engaged in a project that is exclusively pixel art. It’s an incredibly different kind of illustration. If you fight its natural blockish restrictions, it can feel like having ten thousand spoons when all you need, really, is a knife. But in this case, I figured out spoons were just right.

Is that Scarface?

It should be known that I occasionally play video games, and with winter coming, several activities see a significant boost in activity, namely: cooking, eating, sitting, and video gaming. I’m way behind on games and decided not to try to play anything too new until I catch up. I had a copy of Red Dead Redemption at my house, so I popped that in, knowing full well that I don’t care for many Rockstar (game studio, not quality of game) games or how awfully they treat their hardworking development teams (after the completion of at least 2 games I know of, Rockstar decided to fire the entire team before bonuses and profit-sharing kicked in. Classy). Anyway, I played some of this mostly janky, un-amusing game to find that the only real plus is the horse physics. Horse riding is excellent which is good, because you will be doing it for hours and hours. Won’t last too much longer on this one, especially since the now 7-year-old Resident Evil 4 has been released on Xbox 360. So much video game jargon in this post, I apologize, but also, expect more.

During my time in the wild west, I think I met Tony Montana. Image captured offscreen from Red Dead Redemption - then cleaned up, colored, texted and all around prettied up.

Season 3 Episode 3 in which Giovanni Ribisi plays a lightning-infused youth bent on getting the Virtua Fighter highschore and his boss’s wife. His name: Darin Peter Oswald.

This is part of an ongoing project to catalogue the villains from the television series X Files. Check out the others here!

Season 3 Episode 14 in which a man, in order to catch a monster, must become a monster himself and everybody draws, sculpts and scribbles gargoyle-art. 

Hey, it's Friday. Rockin'.

Finally got around to making some art for my bocce team: Texas Forever. We roll every Sunday which means we lose every Sunday, but hey, we have fun doing it. I think if we get this on a shirt, no one will want to beat us or will just fall in love with us.

Season 3 Episode 13 in which two highschool girls experience the true power of planetary alignment! They kill baby Ryan Reynolds and are accused of Satanic conjuring by an increasingly agitated town. Some dude gets murdered by a spring... great episode.
