Just checked out the article on CBR and they did a bunch of screen caps for the new Hulk Trailer. I caught this at the NYCC and nearly shit my pants! The last couple frames of the trailer show one of the scenes I worked on. To say I'm excited would be an understatement. Check it out.
-BTW- I'll have some new art up here soon too. Been pretty lazy lately. :-P
So I haven't posted in a while. Been doin some Comic Book Coloring, and that's been taking up a lot of my time. But I scrounged a few things together to keep this blog goin. Hope ya dig 'em.
Here's a piece I did for the Koni Waves: Artbook
So one of the coolest thing's I've experienced so far happened tonight. My roomate (Reau) and I worked on the new Hulk movie who's trailer aired tonight at about 10:00. I didn't think I'd be lucky enough to catch any of the scenes we actually worked on and yeah... it was pretty much the whole damn trailer! Any of the scenes in Times Square, Reau and I worked on. I actually saw a specific part that we helped bring to life. So to date that might be one of the coolest things that's happened to me so far! I know I'm a geek, but I think you can appreciate it :-)
Ok I'm a little excited. My first Marvel cover is out (pencils by: Rob Liefeld). Here's a sneek peak.
So Cable/Deadpool is over! :-( It ended last Wednesday with issue #50. Bad news for some... but good news for me! I got to color one of the pin ups in the back of the book. Unfortunately it printed full bleed so the grey dot on the right and the unfinished gun was visible. Oh well, I was still pretty happy about it.
I hadn't set out to paint Snake at all when this started, but that's where it went. I was literally just playing around with marks and eventually this came out. Hope ya enjoy it.

Just updated/redesigned my site. This thing's always a work in progress so I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
Check it out!
So I was on Comic Book Resources today and I came across this article. Cable #1. And if you look at the cover that WASN'T done by Ariel Olivetti you'll see my painted cover. I'm SO excited about this as it is my first Marvel cover so I hope you enjoy and hopefully there are more to come!
Comic Book Resources Cable #1
I've been meaning to post these for a while. The were fore Legend of Five Rings and they were loads of fun. I'm working on some new ones right now. Hopefully they'll come at as well as I think these did. Here's two of my favs.
Painter IX + Photopshop CS3
I decided to check out the profile of one of the most talented and my favorite painters today, Jeremy Lipking, only to be shocked by two black bars soiling this work of art. If you click the link to this page you can read the message that was sent to him due to the nude paintings. It's sad and appalling! They called his images inappropriate, and can (in their eyes) be compared to pornography. I don't think I need to point out all the porn stars and amateur porn stars, strippers and just girls who want to show of the good for some attention. They say that there are people as young as 14 on myspace and that jeremy's content is inappropriate for them? Give me a break, the amount of smut on myspace is immeasurable and if anything it could use a little culture! This is a dispute that's gone on for centuries, but I would have expected people to come to their senses and realize that these paintings aren't done for any sexual reason whatsoever! How many nudes do you find in religious paintings? Go through an art book and you'll find a countless number of paintings that are religious that contain nudity,most of which were commissioned by a church.
I think this is something that needs to be addressed now. Myspace is a community of interesting, talented and (i think for the most part) pretty open minded people, and the idea that you can't share your art uncensored when it's done in a tasteful manner is shocking! I'd love to hear what you have to say about this and hopefully we can find a way to work this thing out.

A sketch for something I'm messing with right now. A little different for me, but it came pretty naturally. And it was a lot of fun to do. Hope you enjoy.
So I just saw the Legend of Five Rings trailer and they used all the illustrations I did! Pretty cool.
The first two illustrations I did start with "It is a time of greatness" and then the one right after that. The other two I did show up later, but there's no text to tell you where it is. Enjoy!
I have a total infatuation with the sky, it's many moods, colors, textures, values. Whenever I'm in my car, I pay more attention to the sky than the road... wait, that doesn't sound very safe! Anyway I really need to start doing more sky and cloud studies. This one was loosely referenced. Basically I opened a picture, glanced at it once or twice and got carried away with the sketch. I really nead to do some more in depth studies from actual reference. Anyway, hope you enjoy!
Got tired of the ole moleskine stlye blog. Especially since I haven't posted anything from my moleskine in forever. But what eva! Something new, something simple.
