Shrek Comic Issue 4 Cover

Here are the pencils and inks I worked up for the 4th issue. This project was a blast to work on and a great learning experience.

Shrek "FREE COMIC BOOK DAY" Cover

This is the "FREE COMIC BOOK DAY" issue published by Ape Entertainment & Dreamworks. This was the cover of the issue that was given out for free back in May. Sadly in this issue I was not credited, which bummed me out quite a bit.

Shrek 4 Prequel Comic Book Cover

This is the special "Prequel" issue published by Ape Entertainment & Dreamworks. The little bad guy Rumplestiltskin gets foiled again. I found this issue at a couple Barnes & Noble stores and I felt like "I made it".

Merry Christmas 2009!

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy 2010. I had wanted to do some more Christmas art for the season, but have been busy with other projects. This piece features my daughter acting out her favorite Christmas song. Well, I better get back to my wrapping.

Witchy Night

Here is one more Halloween piece for this year. It started off as a traditional green witch with a black cat. Then during a long meeting at my dayjob, I was coloring my thumbnail sketch with an orange highlighter. Oh, and then I thought a pumpkin chucking gorilla or Yeti would make a more suitable co-pilot. I opted for the Gorilla since I liked that color scheme more. I feel like drawing a Yeti now...

Happy Halloween!!

Halloween: 1979

Here is another ink/Photoshop illustration depicting myself when I was five years old and we had to wear a costume in my pre-school program. My mom made this cool Batman suit for me, since Batman had always been my favorite super hero. I still have this costume sitting in my studio...too bad it does not fit. It is still in really good condition, even the tights.

I love you Mom!

A Jolt For Frankie

Another Halloween piece for this year. I'm getting more into India ink work and digital coloring, so much faster! I have been a graphic designer for well over a decade so i understand the time you can save working digitally, yet my heart is still in traditionally rendered illustration. So I'm hanging on to the brushes for as long as I can, but it sure is nice to change colors with a magic wand.
