Non-Threatening Rorshach
The character Rorschach from Watchmen is a pretty scary guy; but that is only because his ever-changing mask cooperates and swirls into menacing ”what does it mean?” formations. I prefer a mask that does not share this glum attitude towards symmetrical mood projection.
Five Deadly Venoms
Pupil #2: The Snake from Chang Cheh’s (much more) story-driven martial arts film Five Deadly Venoms. One hand represents the snake’s head, the other the tail. Trying to keep the warmup game going.

Bird 10: American Robin
Boy you guys, I'm coming down the final stretch with the Birds Of Brooklyn poster. This cute, colorful robin is the latest addition and I'm real glad he's on it. Keep posted about the poster.
Graphic Booklet: Rough Pages
The comic I’ve been working on is now completely written and roughly drawn/laid out. Here are two rough pages. The paper I used for the rough version is so thin I can erase from the other side of the page. This stems for a long-standing issue with commitment and drawings being worth good paper or not. Suffice to say, I’ll get over it for the final and get some non tissue paper. Expecting the whole thang to be complete by the end of the month!
The day at the end of 4 days, as long as you start that count on a Monday.
I was working on some icons for a live music app today and somehow I got to messing around. What isn’t surprising is that skulls were the subject of my messing around.
Guy Stuff: Things to do to wood
You may’ve noticed that since moving to the city, I’ve missed manual labor and dudely work doubly. When I was home for the holiday weekend, I got a whole lot of guy stuff out of my system, including chopping wood, lighting it on fire and sawing it in half. I also ripped off the paper still connected to a few dozen wire hangers but that doesn’t qualify.
Another "Hey, Koo!" haiku comic, worded by Kalia Armbruster, arted by me. This one got a bit intricate, what with all the lazers, although I am getting a lot quicker with the pencil art sketches that are used mostly wholesale for these panels - scanned in and digitally inked. Kalia and I have been working on some backstory stuff for Koo and are going to start doing "artist inserts" every fifth release which should hopefully flesh out the character and the world. More soon!
My first illustrator swap for Ten Paces & Draw is up! The format involves illustrators submitting a sketch on a topic, swapping them with others, then doing a final illustration for the sketch you receive. This topic was pet peeves. Check it out in context here! You can also see my sketch on the last frame of the project carousel.
A quick GIF for the ongoing project that my graphics crew at mTV works on each day - a character or thing Drawn From Memory.
