Royal Rumble and Avengelyne

Finally posted my latest effeort for the Pile O' Bones Derby Club in the Illustration section. If you're too lazy to click over, here it is:

I've also been exploring my abilities as an inker recently. My buddy Owen Gieni is doing the art work for Image Comics' Avengelyne. He sent me over some rough pencils of a pin-up to ink, just for a larf. Here are the pencils:

and here are my inks:

All the inks are digital. No squids were harmed in the production of this artwork.

Drop Zone Mask

   First off, big thanks to Nick for buying the Swamp Thing/Yoda sketch. He's a good guy, you should stop by the Spadina Freehouse in Saskatoon for beer and say hi.

   Thanks, also, to Eye Inspire Events for asking me to draw the following mask for an oversized pamphlet that they're distributing to promote the Easter Seals Drop Zone event coming up in Regina. Click the link and check it out - it's a great idea for a charity event, one I'd totally do if I wasn't a sniveling craven coward. 

Gus from Sweet Tooth and ET

Here's the latest Crossover Buddies sketch: Gus from Sweet Tooth meets ET. This one's done with Staedtler pigment liners and Copic sketch markers. It's yours for $30. Send me an e-mail.

Swamp Thing and Yoda

I've been trying to squeeze even more drawing into the day than ever before. The latest chronological territory claimed by drawing has been my lunch breaks. At Bushwakkers I huddle over a piece of paper with my pencils and brushes and get some fun done. I'm working on a series right now of sketches that are based on the opposite of the well worn "Who would win in a fight" concept. Rather than pitting Superman versus the Hulk, I've decided to brainstorm to see who would get along the best. My first drawing is Swamp Thing and Yoda.

This (and the following drawings) are for sale. This one's $30 (including shipping). If you're interested, e-mail me to let me know and we'll work out the details. Or, you can just use that address to paypal me. Just be sure to include your full mailing address. Thanks.

oBaby and Tartan Tzar

Despite devoting most of my spare time to either parenting, drawing comics or working on Shatterday business (stop by the website - we've made some additions), I've managed to squeeze in a couple of design jobs. First, a former co-workers wife has begun an organic baby food business and was in need of a logo. After a little bit of tweaking, we came up with this design.

I was also asked by my favourite watering hole, the Bushwakker, to design a label for their 20th Anniversary Russian Imperial Stout. Once upon a time, I would've been paid in beer for this, but my 5 year old son doesn't drink yet.
