Priscilla

Last year I had the privilege of working for Peter Gonzalez and Crown of Life Jr. comics, on his comic book semi adaptation of Noah. It was a great experience and Peter has become one of my all time favorite Clients. He has such a humble heart and is very understanding and willing to let me be me, when it comes to expressing myself through the art. Working on Noah was simply fun, as well as an opportunity to work on another Christian based project.

One of the duties I had was to create the look of the main characters. Among them, a little precious cute girl named Priscilla. She was not only fun to design, but to draw.
This year, I was happy to receive the news that Peter was working on a comic based on the adventures of the little giant of a girl, which would be titled Priscilla.

Also exciting was the news that my fellow Crashland Studio mate and all time best bud, Jamie Cosley, would be drawing the interior art for the comic.

Peter came to me with 3 new assignments.

1. Design the master head for the comic

2. illustrate the cover for the first issue and

3. Design the look and layout for the comic.

Of which I happily took on. Today, I received my copy of Priscilla in the mail and it looks beautiful.

Thanks for letting me work on this assignment Peter!

If you'd like to get a copy or two, you can order right here!

Alice

A work in progress of Alice in Wonderland drawing I was working on, but unfortunately, had no time to finish. There's allot of flaws in this one. But, anyways, I thought I'd share it.

Inside Hoi


So you thought you used to play 2D games. If you had taken a look behind the screen, then you'd have seen this. The featured game is Hoi (subtitled "let's play!") from Team Hoi, a 16-bit platform game for the Commodore Amiga, released in 1992.

Being one of the three Team Hoi members I created the original game's pixel graphics as well.

You're invited to Sevensheaven.nl for an extended impression.

Illustration for Maggies Cancer Caring Centres

Here is an illustration that I've done for a new project, Memories in aid of Maggie's Centres, a UK based cancer charity.

I was given the story of a cancer patient and was asked to illustrate it to go into a book with others. In my illustration I wanted to show the different journeys she had to go through during her fight against cancer, and how starting a family gave new meaning to life that helped her on the way. Memories will be released in the summer of 2010 along with the launch of an exhibition in London

Gore Bay - NZ


Hi - here's something new at very very long last... I've decided to take my design chops to a more art orientated direction... I hope you like it!


Shady Acres, Muddy Roots



Traditionally coffee plants have been grown in forests amongst the shade of the trees. However, like most agriculture these days, to produce more, and at a faster rate, a lot of farmers have taken to full sun grown coffee. This type of farming means that there is no tree cover, so any forest that once was in the area must be clear-cut.

Shade grown coffee is good for the environment, habitats and people alike. Allowing coffee plants to grow within the environment (rather than clear cutting for full sun) promotes polyculture farming, allows forests to remain, thus allowing wildlife such as birds to thrive.

Heimlich Manuever


Lately I wanted to screw around with something. So I chose the old choking poster that hangs in bars and restaurants. This type of exercise brings out the Mad magazine in me. I can do this stuff in no time at all. It just flows out of me like an 11 year old. I want to hang it in the kitchen of my office. Maybe I'll make prints for my Etsy store so people can hang them in their saloons.

IF: Expired


Do comic book superheroes have expiry dates?... or do they just get reinvented over and over again...?

Out Of The Woods


Woods is not only a Tiger he's a Cheetah. I'm sure that's an old joke by now. It's great he's going to play the masters. I don't watch golf much and the few times I did was to see Tiger play. My set will be tuned to the master's that weekend for his return. Everyone wants to see if the wife will be there keeping an eye on him. Will he crack under the pressure or rise to the occasion? The thrill of victory or the agony of defeat. I'm sure all his ex-hooker girlfriend's will be tuning in.

Haiku for you



love drawing, writing, not so much. So one of my goals with working on the
comic strip is to get better at writing. Now this is my first attempt at a Haiku, but I hope you dig it.
