sorry for the weird gray scan.

since nobody answers, I post something else.

An artist proof frot he Cryptozoic Walking Dead Comic Series card set- it's on Ebay, and already has a small bid of $50, so I am happy.

Also, PLease make suggestions for other to join the series- only requirement are

some samples from the Star Wars Galactic Files set

Here are 9 sets of cards ( 2 cards each set) that I did for the upcoming Galactic Files card set. I am doing 100 cards total, with all of them being part fo a 2 card set- done just like these. More scans will be posted as they are approved.

Cheers!

feeling like an Alien in this town

This was done for the TImberline Art blog that I am contributing toward- go there to see other Denver area artist's art too!

My art is a tornado.

So I did a little piece of Snake Eyes for a necklace called a Torndao band- it is a laser engraved dogtag with my art. It is available at the Denver Comic Con, and only 100 are being made- I get the first one off the line, so 99 are available.
Here are the details.

We will feature 1 artist at a time throughout the conference and offer a limited addition tag (99) for each artist. At our table, customers will be able to choose from 20 necklace combinations, and 16 wrap colors to customize their Tornado Bandz. In addition to the featured artist tag, we also have 4 Denver Comic Con tags that will be available for the entire conference.



Here's the schedule:

Fri, June 15 - Chad Blakely

Sat, June 16 - Robert Elrod (Morning), Rebecca Hicks (Afternoon)

Sun, June 17 - Jason Sobol
 
and here is my Tag

and here it is in Turtle Time color!

This will be available at the Denver COmic COn- drawn by myself and Bukshot, colored by the ever amazing Lizz Buenaventura!
$10 please, and thanks!

New addition to Colorado based art blog

I am joining the cast of TimberLine, an art blog dedicated to those artists living one mile higher than the ocean, in good ole' Denver, CO.

here is a link- I will be contributing starting next week.
timberlinedraw.blogspot.com

An here is the Preview of the image...

So we have four turtles that appear to be ninjas, and mutations  of some sort. The seem rather young don't you think?

and a preview of the Turtle art arrives!

but not here.

I have  yet to scan it and this Blog only likes images from Droid powered devices... Apple has like 68 percent of the tablet and smart phone business world wide, but, alas, google is in Apple.

will scan tonight and post tomorrow.

but in the meantime, check out this image of the B to the F!

Many thanks for many things!

First, last Friday was May the 4th, or as my wife calls it, "you're allowed to be a Star Wars Geek" day. I went to a 501st event with the Denver ComicCon crew, and did free Star Wars sketches for kiddos for about three hours. Peopple actually waited almost two hours for a sketch! it was awesome to have that kind of support in my new town.

Second, my kcikstarter projects are moving along nicely! one is completely funded ( but could always use more if we are to go for a hardcover version of the sketchbook) and the other is at about 40 % if I recall correctly, One of my blog readers supported, and my thanks go out to them.

With any luck, suppport will continue to roll in, and my art projects can be funded. Some prayer never hurts, so I will had that in the mix too!

Expect me to update the page with the Ninja Turtle art by me and Bukshot this week. As soon as Lizz can color it, I will put her colors up as well.

Cheers!

add a Kickstarter, and it equals fun!

alright! the con two weeks ago was surprisingly awesome- not usually a fan of smaller hotel shows, but the Denver crowd is great and SUPER supportive.

speaking of support,
I have a kickstarter up- 2 actually, but Ill share this link first:

Getting ready for a con-weekend

Ok, so I am back in toa con-swing of things... kind of.

I am doing the small, yet supposedly fun show called Comicfest, part fo the Starfest family of shows, this coming weekend.

I will have all kinds of original art, sketch cards, prints, etc. I am doing a sketch card panal on Saturday, and a live drawcast on Sunday both at noon Mountain time.

I will provide more info when I have it, and of course, I will do my bset to take pics of my art from the show so that I can crop it properly and put it up on the blog.


Ah, the blog. how wonderfully cliche, yet completely underappreciated by me.

OH!!!!!! I am also doing the First annual Denver COmic Con father's day weekend. By bestest comic mates Bukshot and DNasty will be coming to Bronco Country to draw with me for the weekend. ANNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDD, Buk and I will be putting out a limited edition Street Fighter print for the show. I will aiming to have Lizz color it- cuz she rocks, coz'!

more info on all of that as we get closer.

some old convention art

more to come!

this time, smaller

I see that my art was cut almost in half in the last post. So, without further ado, here she is again.

Some stuff from upcoming art sets

well, only one days since my apology and already I am posting art!! ( i think I should take a break for working so hard, right?)

from the up and coming Contemporary Pin-up's set, my two samples:

and


and my Base card submission for the Bombshells set:

I really suck... and I mean it.

ok...way too long.

almost 9 months away. I m neck deep in PhD stuff, I moved again ( still in Colorado,) and i have too many art jobs to handle. Ok, the last one sounds great- trust me it is NOT. Quality pays the price when there is not enough time to dedicate.

So I got a new scanner, and with technology being what it is now, I have no excuse not to add regular updates. So I Will try- can someone email me or something- once a month and yell at me to post?

Also, remind me to get a hold of Lizz- I need her masterful coloring on something...
Scans from art jobs coming up.

Contemporary Pin-ups

DC New 52 cards
Walking Dead comic book sketch cards
Mars Attacks Heritage sketch cards
