the Hound's Tale

for years i have been drawing a comic with my pal Alec McGovern, who is writing this fantasy epic (link for its blog to the right side)

The Hound's Tale:

Owin, a boy who lives in the woods on the frontier, befriends a group of strangers, and together they help him drive out a wandering giant that is destroying the forest he calls home. lots of nods to various fantasy stories!

a little Gold!

this was a submission for a childrens book, in watercolors and in photoshop, and scanned gold paper for their shields. its like mega man and bomber man

a Patch of Grass

this painting was a background for an animation i did in 06, where a girl is sleeping in the grass. but i always liked the image by itself, something about comparing a field to a galaxy

the Son of Sam

i decided i was going to paint a portrait from the internet, and i ended up finding this one of David Berkowitz, though he looks a lot like Any Kaufman

Chop the MudMan

recently i have been working on a short comic, about some adventurers who enter a muddy swamp, and the things they encounter. this is one of the main characters axing a mudman that has a beehive head

the Cute Cloud

super mario imagery is amazing, and has had a great influence on me. i also like plants

the Flower Book

in this little book, there are drawings of a different wild flower on each page, about 12 or so. drawn from a wildlife book i use often

a Squid

occasionally i embroider. this is a Squid

a Goblin Spider Rider

this gem was drawn for a small traveling art show called 5x7. he's a gobo spider rider

my Mayan Calendar

this is a version of the Mayan Calendar i made a couple years ago. all the symbols have been replaced with those of my own choosing, except for the three inner circles

a Wolf Bust

this fella's from an older sketchbook of mine, like 2006-ish. handsome and scribbly, from a photo

a Toadstool

here is drawing from a photograph, i think a nature google image search. i believe this came before the Forest Floor drawing, good practice

Maximum Carnage

there is an amazing blog called Covered, where you submit a re-imagining of any comic book cover. here i did an old Spider Man favorite, yet sadly i was declined (*wanh wanh)

a Muddy Man

this is from my sketchbook, an archer who is possessed by an Angry Mud Deity. he's also starring in a small comic i'm making

a Leaf Bug

here is our last friend in the bug series, a Leaf Bug, though he kind of looks like a cicada...

a Grasshopper

keeping the bug theme going, here is a Grasshopper from the same series

a YellowJacket

i think i drew the Fly first, followed by this handsome fellow

a Fly

currently i am on a plant drawing kick. but not long ago it was bugs, which i do still enjoy

the Forest Floor

plants are one of my favorite things to draw. for this, i just flipped through an illustrated wildlife book and chose ones i liked. the plants are all real, though the composition is a fake.

a Golden Tree

Tae has these amazing pictures of her mother and aunts having a leaf fight, throwing piles of bright yellow gingko leaves all over. so i drew this tree.

Cute Cakes

i always liked those cake paintings by Wayne Thiebaud...
