A Preview of What's to Come...

Random Sketch of the Day

Oi! Oi! Oi!

Here is the rest of that image I posted the other day.

BRAWL!!!

Was feeling very 'Joe Kubert' whist inking dudeman's face here.

And, while we're talking about it, Joe Kubert is FLIPPIN' AMAZING!!
Been looking at some DC hero work he did, and a bunch of the Unknown Soldier,
and even picked up an old issue of Ragman as well!! Really inspiring stuff.

Non-Bart Art Post (the first ever?)

Thought I'd pass along these 1970s NASA concept illustrations!!

Beautiful and spectacular and all around astonishing to look at, but also a reminder of how alluring the conquest of space used to be. You don't see much of this kind of practical imagination today, let alone painted.

Zodiac

Today's feature is a map of the Zodiac killers first four locations (victim sites). It was (and still is) difficult to communicate location, a (sort of) timeline, and (really) a narrative into one piece.



type is probably too small for web viewing.

Teddy Roosevelt and the History of the Fumetti (like a Harry Potter Title, get it?)

First up is a comp assignment based on a previously published cover and interior from the New York Times Book Review.






































And next is a fast (and I mean FAST) 6 pager detailing (a bit of) Italian comic book history. The text is still very "Wikipedia / dictionary" sounding, needs a couple of more edits to find a true marriage with the imagery.

Got this Published...

in the Minneapolis Star Tribune Today. A piece to commemorate this years Minnesota State Fair.

MINI-SPLOSION!!

Saturday is the day my friends, don't forget!

The First Annual Minneapolis Indie Xpo will be underway.






















I'll be there with a gang of new screenprints in tow,
along with my usual fare and one new silkscreened mini!

See You There!

New Prints, perfect for summer!

Here are three new prints I will be selling along with
other fair at The Minneapolis Indie Expo (MIX),
where I will also be giving a small talk/workshop on
the powers of home silk screening!























Stop by on Saturday, August 21st!
(11:00am for Workshop)

New Batch of Doctor Who Shirts...

















Ebay Search= "Bowties Are Cool"

Rejoice!!!

Feels good to draw those guys again!

A Little Wet for the Whistle...

It's not been cleaned at all, but the levels have been adjusted. A celebratory post as the finished inks for Issue 01 of The FieldHawk have been completed.

More announcements as they come.

Lets all welcome Matt Smith to the Doctor Who universe!!

Pencils are done, moving to Inks this week...

He's Coming, He's Coming, He's Coming...

Panel Sketch Done Digitally

FieldHawk Character Drawing

We've got Rick, Clint, Drew, Amelia, Ellyn, Mayor Justin Simon, and Chief William Ash.

wow! only a month and a half since my last post.

I'm getting better at blogging I think. As a treat, here are selected panels (and one page) from my print sized roughs for FieldHawk.
