Heavy Metal
Inspired by Machine Head’s “Unto the Locust” album. A quick heavy metal infused illustration. Also the first true “digital illustration” I’ve done. No pre-sketch here.
127 Hours of Introspection
Inspired by Director Danny Boyle’s latest film “127 Hours” this painting was a labor of love created in the days following my initial viewing of this fantastic Oscar contender. Those unfamiliar with the story, 127 Hours is based on the book written by Aron Ralston, a young engineer who in the spring of 2003 found himself stranded in the caves of Utah’s Canyonland. I apologize if I skip over the small details of the story, [...]
Bird Fart – A Bird’s Tale
A Bird’s Tale – “The elders spoke of a time when the evils of man may steal the voice of the bird only to share their melody amongst one another until the skies turned black and the rivers red.”
Mondo Rondo and the Boston Celtics
With the series with Orlando hopefully closing out tonight, it needs to be mentioned who has been the MVP of these 2010 NBA playoffs. His name is Rajon Rondo and I am officially calling him Mondo – The Four Armed Magician. Below is the tee-shirt I designed and plan on wearing when I make my way to the Garden for the Finals next week. Also enjoy the clip below of Mondo and his stupidly awesome [...]
Into the Vortex – 31st – A Graphic Novel
Six months ago I was inspired by a group of horror movies to sit down and pen my own story. It’s something I have wanted to do since I was a kid. I suppose every artist that wants to tell a story begins by playing off the emotion of fear. It’s the simplest to tackle, since there are millions of ways to elicit fear, not so many to tell a story with a bit more [...]
The Capitol Hills: Obama’s Drama Club
Like many of you I found myself caught up in the soap opera we called an election last November. An onslaught of he said, she said bullshit that ultimately polarized both puppet characters to the point where we voted against the past based on a false hope for the future. Of course it’s easy to say all of this in hind sight, I mean you can’t look at Washington at this point and not see [...]
Banner 17: Remembering “The Duel”
In June of 2008 the Boston Celtics raised Banner 17. Common knowledge to most, I know. But for me it was something special, I only had enough money to get to one of the games during the entire record breaking playoff run. It’s sad when you think about how they had 14 or so home games. The only game I was able to get tickets to though, Cavs game 7. Anyone following the run to [...]
My Brother: The Astrophysicist Texan
Otherwise known as Jastro. My family is tight, we’re small and only have each other. So when the day came that the family traveler finally made the decision to do what the rest of us could not, I wanted to give him a parting gift to remember home. The ensuing illustration is really something only he would find meaning in. At one point a group of ten people stood staring at is collectively for over [...]
