Vampires Used To be Way Sexier

Despite being busy nearly constantly, I don't have much I can post here - either because it's unpublished and I don't want to step on the toes of those who've commissioned the work, or because it's part of a big project that I haven't yet announced. Just so this site isn't such a ghost town, here's a portion of a thing I've been working on. Enjoy.

Jon Ryan

It's been a while since I've added anything to my design section. NFL Kicker and fellow Regina boy Jon Ryan asked me to put together a logo for him. I'm positive this design will put the Seattle Seahawks in the Superbowl.

Fracture Magazine

My derby poster has been posted on Fracture Magazine's Bout Posters page. Cool!

Summer Smackdown

I can't remember if I've mentioned this before, but my wife is involved with The Pile o' Bones Derby Club. It's a flat-track derby club. No, there are no Gator Skaters. Yes, it's still awesome. I put together a poster for their next event. If you're in the Regina area on July 25, get yourself to the Callie.

Parker

Been busy, but I haven't been doing stuff I'm ready to show here. I'm starting a new project that requires a skill set I haven't completely mastered, so I've been doing some self-instructions. It's getting there, but it's not ready for prime time.

One thing I have managed to put together is a picture of Parker - the character from a series of books by Richard Stark (aka Donald Westlake). Over at the Almost Darwyn Cooke blog, there's a contest to win an advance copy of Darwyn Cooke's adaptation of the Parker novel, The Hunter. All you need to do is submit your take on Parker. My original plan was to do something more in the style of the MODOK I did a while ago, but I started doing some sketching based on a photo and I got a bit wrapped up in it. I think if I can find some more minutes I'll do another (because I really want that book - I've been on a huge Darwyn Cooke kick of late).

Yin Yang

Good news and bad news this week. Good news: my cheque and sample magazines came in from subTerrain #52. It's on the shelves, go pick one up. They also threw in a complimentary subscription, which I thought was very classy. Bad news: my bike was stolen. By cowardly, disease-ridden pricks, I have to assume.

Win some, lose some.

Here's a caveman.

Nerd Boner

Cool news. My site has been mentioned on ¡Journalista! - The new weblog of The Comics Journal. I'm a comic nerd (we'll, truth be told my nerdiness isn't confined to comics, but comics are high on my nerdometer) and to be even tangentially connected to The Comics Journal is enough to give me a big, broad smile. Happy day for Gav.

And, to keep my promise of a drawing for each post, here's a sketch.

Also, I've updated the images on my illustration page. Check it out, yo.
