It's a Spaced Thing
Just felt like drawing this last night before calling it quits. Nothing to get excited about though. While I plan to finish Spaced Thing someday, I'm not currently working on it. Other projects are taking up my free time. Still, this was incredibly fun and reminded me why I created Spaced Thing and why I want to return to it and finish it.
By the way, as a reminder, Spaced Thing is available as a free download at The Illustrated Section. Go grab yourself a PDF copy full of whacky goodness :)
Enjoy!

Now in color!
Starting today, weekend editions of Pokeweed will be in color. BUT, the catch is, the strips will focus on an "in strip" marketing talent known as Hello Piggy. What started as a little gag within Pokeweed, has blossomed into its own power. Don't forget to check out eh BW Pokeweed strips daily here! And for all kinds of fun, like hand drawn sketch cards, visit the Pokeweed Fanpage on Facebook!

Billy Batson
I came across an interesting blog via Twitter a few days ago. The idea behind the blog, have artists re draw their favorite comic book panels, in their style. I liked the idea so much I thought I'd give it a try. So I picked up one of my many favorite comics, my trade of Shazam! The Monster Society of Evil by the awesome and inspiring Jeff Smith, creator of the Bone series.
Then the thought hit me. I love this book from cover to back cover. It's going to be REALLY hard to choose a favorite scene to re draw. But it didn't take long. One image popped out right away in the first few pages of the book. And that's the one I used. I never thought about it much but, this scene alone is VERY powerful and telling of little Billy Batson's character.
Hope you all dig.
God bless!

Red Fire Guitar
I'm no Picasso or Van Gogh, but I have been known to slap around a bit of paint traditionally here and there. I was going through some older files the other day and came across a scan of this painting I did back in 2006. It was done in Acrylic paint on canvas paper. Such were the days before the digital craze took over :)

Cookies and Bunny
Nothing like freshly bake cookies and then the voice in your head says “Eat me, eat me!”.
The Punisher
Fun Fact #1. I don't like The Punisher. I don't completely hate the character, I just dislike him. And I blame all those 90's comics I read where someone like Spiderman or Daredevil, or maybe even Wolverine on certain occasions would be going about their business, and suddenly, The Punisher would appear with guns in hands to pick a fight. It was never a, "Hey, Spider Man, chasing down the Lizard? Well, Let's team up and I'll help you catch him" sort of thing. It was always a shoot first ask questions later scenario. Because of that, I felt The Punisher was just... Well... A big dumb brute!
There. I said it. I got it out of my system.
Fun Fact #2. It usually happens that when I sit down and draw a character I don't like, I end up liking the character afterwards. It's a phenomenon with me. I can't explain it. Doesn't happen all the time, but most of the time.
Fun Fact #3: I kind of like The Punisher now. Go figure.

Donald H. Illustration
Another REGISTER GUARD
'obit-illy' was drawn of Donald Hammar.
His thumbnail illustration,
some of his bio!
(born the same year as my Dad,
PLEASE know that these are drawn with the intent
to honor the reposed and their full lives.
Please forgive me if it offends anyone,
I am in no way ridiculing the reposed.
I am inspired by their lives and accomplishments,
so i wanted to illustrate them.
Nothing macabre, no nefarious reason, i'm
drawn to people who have had a noted presence in life.

Buy Parable!
Got to work this morning only to find my friend had laid a copy of The Parable Anthology on my desk to sign. I had not seen the final product yet. I am a stickler for quality and let me tell you, this is freakin' awesome. Printed beautiful, vibrant colors, crisp line work, awesome art. You need to buy a copy.
I posted a snap shot of the first 2 pages of Ben Avery and I's story, "The Little Debtor". The book is still $10 off til the end of January, so buy yourself and all your friends, coworkers, veterinarians, dentists, teachers, pastors, zoo-keepers, rocket scientists, loved ones, and comic geeks copies.
ORDER HERE.

Editorial Illustration - The Pursuit Of Happiness
Had the opportunity to do another cover illustration for Christian Century. They actually contacted me about a concept sketch that I had done from the last assignment and thought that the idea behind it would translate well for The Pursuit Of Happiness issue. Win-win. So with a few modifications to the original concept this is the final editorial illustration that ran in January. Another reason why it's always a good idea to submit several concepts to your art directors fellow illustrators!

A Slippery Slope
Look out! Here's a piece I did recently for the January issue of Virginia Living. It's about an awkward skier trying to woo his little lady friend. Obviously she was having none of it.
Thanks for making it happen, Sonda! You and the team did a bang-up job on the layout.

Super - Madness
Going to one of those gigantic supermarkets with all those unnecessary product options and madness can produce certain side-effects, ask this poor chap.
Caricature Dump
Happy New Year Folks!
...haven't posted in awhile, great to see the blog still rolling along although I'm a bit bummed by the demise of "Blank Book"...sorry to see it was never completed!
Avatar Kinect - First Trailer!
Finally I can be a bit proud of something that I worked on at Microsoft that is actually coming to market.
I worked on this over the last 6 months on a great team.
Look at the trailer and toward the end you'll see the avatars in rooms that are outside, like, Spring summer, winter (in the video) and fall (also in the video)...... I designed all the art for those rooms. I also designed all the art for the Emotes in each room. (even for the themed rooms I didn't design.) Those are reward animations that are related to each theme.
