Max and Friends

"...and made him king of all wild things."

The Amazing Spider-Man

The amazing over-worked Spider-Man portrait. I got a new brush pack I wanted to work with in Photoshop and Spider-Man/Peter Parker became my first victim. :B I had to force myself to stop and I'll probably go back later and fiddle with him more just for kicks.

<3 I'm a closet Spider-Man fan. At least I think I was in the closet. Maybe everyone knew the whole time?

I think I'm going crazy

My oh so serious response to an article in the Wall Street Journal about how nuclear power will generate more jobs and is in America's future. You can read it online here.





I was excited to have finally cooked my eggs the way I liked.

Still alive and kicking

Ryn has a real website! Its still in its infancy/toddler phase, but its very lovely none the less. It was designed by a graphic designer/web designer friend of mine. My portfolio is available there because I know you can't get enough of me.

I went to free comic book day :3 I picked up some free things, but I just ended up buying up some Deadpool stuff and that Batman Gotham Gazette thing (because I really like the cover Dustin Nguyen made for it. Too bad they covered my favorite part when they put the title on.) Here it is on his DeviantArt page. I also bought a Jim Mahfood graphic novel, which was really exciting. I reeeeally like his work. <3

Any way, here's what I did Friday, reworked an old piece. That tree was so much fun.


The original:


thumbnails/sketches!

I finally got around to creating one of them newfangled blog things...

I illustrated the cover of Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. I liked the typography on the original cover, but the image on my copy (which I've lost...) was neat, but I had no idea what it had to do with the story.


Thumb nails of space and the Battle Room.




I got it in my head some how that the flash suits had to look a little bit like Robocop... I haven't seen the movie (I'll get around to it), but I think my brother had an action figure. It's a cool visor.


It only really shows through in the lighting and I guess the looming Bugger, but I used this assignment as an excuse to watch Alien and Aliens. I love the sets in those movies. A lot of my reference pictures were movie stills. I wanted it to feel a little bit like an updated 80s science fiction movie. And by updated I mean none of those gigantic low resolution monitors with little space invaders on them, hah hah. Outdated technology amuses me as long as it isn't mine. Like my forty pound TV... That's not funny...

Cool looking kid, bright colors, and a mysterious floating insect. I'd like to think it would encourage young readers to pick up the book and read it.

There will be more stuff soon!!
