Being Green On A Friday.

May - Catwoman.

Continuing the 2015 calendar, this month is Catwoman à la Tim Sale’s covers on the excellent When In Rome series who worked à la the excellent René Gruau. I used a Gruau illustration for pose reference and the Sale covers for general styling. As a bonus, the recipient of these pages liked this one best so far. More coming.

Every year, I host a dumpling party in which we make a heck of a lot of dumplings and watch a whole mess of movies starring a selected, beloved, actor. This year, it's John Cusack, so I drew him on a poster for the FOURTH annual ae Dumpling Party.

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.

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: Male Emotions

Further character study for the graphic booklet’s male character. I needed to simplify my typical facial style to pull out the highs and lows I was looking for. Since the character has very little to say in the story, I needed a very expressive, cartoony body capable of movement aplenty.

Misspelled Characters: Captain Americat

New segment, folks, in which I imagine a world where careless writers pass along a minimally but catastrophically mistyped script to the artist who does his/her best to make the character function as intended. First up: Captain Americat.  No shield pictured because it is being used as a milk saucer.

A Brief History of Captain America's Duds

I have a friend who is both a Captain America nut and a uniform aficionado. As a birthday present, I made a big old poster combining both. Here we have the main iterations of Steve Rogers' (one Bucky if you're counting) uniform throughout his career in the Marvel Captain America universe. He went through some hard times of disillusionment and physical adversity and his choice of costume did pretty well in reflecting that (except maybe the laughable The Nomad getup). Suffice to say, I learned a whole lot about the man in stars and stripes. You can get this beast over at the shop. The poster is 16" x 20". GET IT!

Hey, it’s Friday.

Check this guy out, his name is Daniel. This is some character design for a game I hope to make with some friends in the future for the mobile devices. For now, I'll keep dressing him up in dandy gear.
