I Have Begun The Super Trip, Wherein Myself And Two Friends Travel From Seattle To Los Angeles Via Car
I have begun the Super Trip, wherein myself and two friends travel from Seattle to Los Angeles via car and bicycle. The first day wasn’t so exciting because it involved getting to JFK, sitting in an aeroplane for 6 hours then settling in at the friend’s apartment in Seattle. There is so much to come on this trip, and I plan to post some drawings.

Season 3 Episode 8 in which an un-extraordinary man snatches a kid. Some psychic link stuff between a previous abductee and the current, but nothing too spectacular other than that. Carl Wade.

M&M Wedding
Meg & Mike, the sweetest couple, asked me to work up a whole graphical package for their summer wedding. It was a real pleasure figuring out which elements represented each of them separately then worked together as a whole package.
The main double-sided wedding invite contained a mixture of flora from the bride's and groom's respective region mixed with some from their wedding location, Ithaca NY.
The back of the invite was maybe the funnest part of the project. This hand-written font I worked up really seemed to fit the style of the couple and the mood of their farmer's market, DIY wedding.
Many of the elements I used in the main invite were then used for name and table cards. Here's a good portion of them all laid out above.
Meg & Mike chose passages (sometimes lyrics) to accompany my illustrations on the table cards.
The illustrations made their way onto name cards the guests could match up with their assigned table. *Photo courtesy Anna Simonak.
The groom and I even brewed up a special champagne-style beer for the wedding and I hand-cut a stencil and painted the bottles with its fitting batch name.
Last October I Married a Witch and for her birthday I made this poster to remind her. Pulled inspiration for text elements from several vintage “IMAW” movie posters but ended up going with my own character design and layout.
April - Scott Pilgrim.
Continuing the 2015 calendar, this month is Sex Bob-omb playing a raucous gig. Think it turned out really well and was very happy with the screentone fade in the background. I tried out Manga Studio for the first time and really liked the drawing tools and the ability to minutely tune brushes. I’ll definitely be doing more illustration in Manga Studio, especially anything that needs variable line thickness (and dope screentones).
My first proper sculpt and paint. Seemed only fitting that it be Hellboy as that continues to be my most valued media for both art and storytelling. The white figure at the bottom was my actual first stab that melted in the oven which taught me the valuable lesson of creating a proper armature (and using clay that wasn’t many years old). More sculpts coming.
Original Beige Super Sculpey with acrylic paints applied with various brushes. Base is a piece of pine with medium-gauge wire for armature covered in aluminum foil to pad out bulky areas.
Another pixel-rocker. Though the project that houses them is a ways off, I'll keep 'em comin'.
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.

Finally put up a Birds of Brooklyn poster for myself. You can see it here with a childhood bat I reshaped and painted some fun patterns on. There is 1 MORE LEFT! of the original run of posters if you're interested in getting yourself one.
