Something to Post

Has it really been a year since my last post? Oops. Well, I got busy... becoming a dad mostly.

Anyway, I have something to post, so I guess I'm back. This is part of a larger project I am working on for Christmas. Kind of liked the way it was coming out so I thought I'd share!

Man In The Park

My old alma mater, The College of New Jersey, is holding an alumni art exhibition in September, to which my wife submitted a fantastic piece of art, a re-working of her graduate school thesis project actually. She kept pestering me to actually complete and submit something, but for whatever reason – lack of inspiration, I would suspect, but that isn't really an excuse when it comes to doing work – I never got around to it until the very last possible moment, which happened to be this past Friday.


I stayed up late and put together this piece, which represents the illustration/cartooning style I like to use, and I think tells enough of a story to justify its existence.

Here is the original drawing I had in the bank- this one was low-res and semi-pointless, so I felt I should elaborate on the idea and put the character in a basic setting.

I also submitted this one, just for good measure. Hope I get in – actually, that we both do!!! Good luck, Erica (though she doesn't need it, her work is amazing).

A Work In Progress

This is, as the title states, a work-in-progress. The background won't be part of the finished illustration; I just wanted to make it look a little more finished for now.

A Floating Head

I drew this fellow, again, as a doodle on a piece of scrap paper at work, and after a process of scanning, coloring, and painting, he found himself a disembodied glowing head floating outside his freaky cave on Mars or something.

What hideous misfortunes could have led this man to such a state?

A Green Ghoul

Today I just have a sketch of a weirdo guy I drew in the late hours. Just practicing digital coloring/painting.

Not a very friendly-looking customer, is he?

He looks like someone out of a Coen Brothers movie. He could be played by John Turturro.
