INKVEMBER? DAY 3

Inkvember? Day 3
I took a long layoff. Lot's of stuff happening, but I'll be back on much more often from now on.
I'm juggling grad school, a new job, moving to Europe, 2 kids... wah wah wah, I know.

Anyway, here's my Inkvember (I just made that up) art that I will post. I want to do a subject that I can exhaust in a month and move onto a new subject. If there are any suggestions that would be appreciated. As for most of Inktober, the subject is TMNT. Let's see if I can bore myself with the Heroes in an Halfshell™.

...I doubt it either
I'll also post my Inktober art here as well in the coming days,(or when I get too lazy to draw).

MONDAY EVENING SKETCHES

Some sketches before I dive into the meaty freelance that is hanging over my head. Though I love having freelance I also like having weekends. And pie, I forgot about pie.

LIQUIDATION!

Selling some of the original older stuff. If interested go to Ebay, or inquire within. I'll beputtingup more and more in the upcoming months. I got 2 kids that need legos, .. and food. Yeah, I meant food.

For this Runner's World editorial piece I'm selling the inks with a sharp print of the finished art.
You can find it:

In The Mail Today #9

Sunday Funday! A little surprise for my daughter, (and some daddy-daughter time for me), made for a lot of fun today. Needless to say this kept us busy. For some reason,playing with LEGO's is incredibly calming and gets my mind going. Great pre/mid/post drawing food.

SUNDAY EVENING SKETCHES

Some more to share. Now that I'm loosened up.... I'll go to bed... sigh.
This time I shed one love for another. Masters of the Universe!

AFTERNOON SKETCHES

Loosening up is hard to do. Some of the days it comes super-quickly,most days are like today. It's hard to explain,but every artist probably knows what I'm talking about. I guess I have TMNT on the brain of late? (Last 20 years)... Also, I like this because my daughter sometimes sees a blank piece of paper and does her best to fill it in... with usually cats.
Is she trying to tell me something?

Happy Sunday!

In The Mail Today #8

We just got back from Denmark, (for a secret meeting), and I'm just starting to sleep past 5 a.m. Aside from ordering a bounty of LEGO's, I saw these 3 while perusing Amazon just hanging out and had to pick them up.
Looks like I gots some reading to do. Especially since I never got to taste a true Danish Smørrebrød and still need to fill out a decent sleep cycle and not adding random "k's" into my vocabulary.

Warm up sketches.

Morning Sketches!

Quick serve sketches to loosen up. Lots of freelance coming in. I'll see if I can show some of the stuff off soon. Also, BIIIIIIG interview coming within the next week. More to come. Film at eleven. (So big it requires 6 upper case i's)! BAM!

Starting morning sketches BTW.

This is the Post-New Years book hoarding. Unfortunately, the wife and I now have Amazon Prime and it makes the giving in to my book habit that much easier. Speaking of, what is the purpose of Amazon Prime's streaming service? It has the same stuff as Netflix with a horrible UI. gehh...

In The Mail Today #6

This is the Pre-Christmas book heist I pulled off before we had to get ready for Christmas gifts and holidaze bliss. It might be a bit of a problem as I am having a tough time finding new areas of our place to stash these things. And please don't ask my wife about the pains when moving said books to another home.

Booklist Go!!!

New Project.
I have literally about 12 going on at the same time. Currently I'm messing around with the layout of the robots... and I have to get Bomb Man in there. Pre-inks.

STAYING INSPIRED #12 MATT ROCKEFELLER

I found this guy the other day on Abduzeedo. His name is Matt Rockefeller and he's finishing up his degree at Maryland Institute College of Art.This stuff is so fresh, (did I mention I'm bringing fresh back?). Freakin' love his use of color and dynamic use of perspective. Check out more of his stuff at: http://www.mattrockefeller.com/

Or check out his blog at: http://mrockefeller.tumblr.com/

STAYING INSPIRED #11

Gael Bertrand

 

I came upon Gael wandering through the catacombs of Abduzeedo. Initially, his work reminded me of Chrono Trigger/Dragon Quest artist Akira Toriyama. I really like his bright color palettes and deadline strokes.

This guy is incredible. Very Moebius like.
