Lots of random goodies this week. First off, after seeing Tyler’s stylish Wolverine, I thought I’d give it a try. Only I wanted to emphasize the parts that I thought were ‘classic’ Wolverine that seem to have been lost since I was a kid. Mainly that he’s short and hairy. I also wanted to make [...]
So I had a breather for a second while I was getting the Asian Reporter cartoon done and I figured that posting something was better than nothing, so I took one of those cliche panoramic mash-up photos of my workspace.
I hope there’s nothing embarrassing on my desk there… Anyhow, see you next week!
Jumping into January’s Fan Art Fray, I turn to a newer obsession of mine… Doctor Who. I’d been vaguely interested in watching the new Doctor Who series after watching Torchwood, but it wasn’t until Jonathan started watching it on Netflix that I took the plunge. I quickly fell in love with the show’s mix of [...]
Merry Christmas! With this being my last post of the year, I thought that I would take the time to reflect on all the good fortune bestowed upon me art-wise and what I’m looking forward to in 2010.
I don’t want to bore uninterested parties to death, so my year in review is after the cut.
In regards to my last post, my “Tardy Party” to finish my calendar illustrations is winding down. If you haven’t seen the finished illustrations I’ve posted in that entry, you can click here or just scroll down the page. I’m still working on my last piece, which I’ll hopefully finish before I go to work [...]
To be honest, I don’t really buy many comics. I pretty much only read what Tyler or Jason pick up. So this year, if anyone would ask me what comics I’ve been reading I would have to fess up and tell them I’ve been reading trashy superhero comics and two manga series. This would embarrass [...]
Here’s a little grab bag of images from my amazing trip to the East Coast. Despite just getting back, I already have work I need to start chipping away at. I’ll have lots of wicked awesome calendar stuff up next week.

Got another fun assignment from the Willamette Week. I was asked to draw a bar scene, where patrons would be toasting a giant computer monitor:
Probably one of the better images I’ve done since I started doing occasional work for the paper… I feel like I’m getting a better handle on executing a scene or [...]
This week I thought I’d write about other people’s artstuffs instead of my own. A sort of ramble about things that are getting me jazzed lately.
A while ago, I heard about a new manga series drawn by Taiyo Matsumoto called Takemitsu Zamurai (roughly translated, I believe it means Samurai with a Bamboo Sword). I’m a [...]
