Iron Giant Chef Mini Comic

This is a mini comic I did for a friend's comic anthology called Slam Bang. The theme is robots and I could not resist the topic. I do these to relax when I am doing a LOT of painting. It is like a palette cleanser.

I also love bizarre sci-fi robot speak.

The small press comic show SPACE is in a couple weeks and I hope to make it up there for a day.

'Bard the Hare Character Sheet'

Here's a character sheet for a game I'm going to be playing in. This is a prototype, and I inked EVERYTHING. The type's a little rough, but it was a good test to see how I could potentially lay out my own character sheets for sale with a game system a friend and I are going to publish some adventures for, through Epic Werkes.The big thing for me with this project was to be able to signify, with images, things that are normally represented with text. I also included the alternate, colour version, and the sheet after I started using it.

High school sports logo needed

Hi folks!

An painter friend of mine needs someone to design a new logo for a high school, and then he will be painting/airbrushing it on the gymnasium wall. They are the Beallsville Blue Devils, and they've been using Duke's logo up to now, but they would like to have their own blue devil designed to be used on everything.

If I had any spare time I'd do it! Plus I know there are better logo designers than me here.

Simple lines....blue, white, and maybe black. There may be a little bit of reimbursement in it from the school district, but this is a small school in Eastern Ohio.

Quickie Birthday Card Drawing

Here is a quick little colorized ink sketch I did for my nephew for his birthday card (it was quicker to draw than a knight-which he is into now). I would probably do some things different, but I only spent an hour or so on it and have little time.

Although, to truly make a 9 year old like it, it would have been two battling dragons with a lot of blood. His mom would not let him have it though... Daryll is right about most cards for boys having a high lame factor, which is why I made one.

Special Edition Illustrators Lunch: Jerry Dowling's art at Grand Ole Pub-REDO

Bike Stickers

Here are some more sketches and stickers for toddler bike helmets. No time for reference or too much refinement. The dog linework has some wonky lines, and things, but I thought I would upload anyway cuz they were fun to do. I'm partial to the bees though : )
