Between writing lines of code today at work I colored linework I finished really late last night. I’m going to polish it some more, but I believe this is generally how I want it to look. It’s a submission for the BEASTS 2 book by Fantagraphics; I know my chances are very slim that I’ll get in, but I figure at least it would make a nice portfolio piece.

Definitely the hardest thing about TAD was posting something that was up to snuff with the rest of the awesome content on the site. Thanks for the inspiration folks!!!!

Took a nice, leisurely lunch today and did these drawings, then messed around with them in photoshop. The wash looking stuff are from a Warm Grey 4 copic marker.

These two were copied from the newspaper

Tiny, probably overly cute drawings

On Sunday I went to the St. Vincent concert in San Francisco and I took a bunch of photos, I think this is the best one.

#18.

About an hour or so ago I went out to get some gas and run an errand, cause it was totally DRY at the time, then outta nowhere, fucking intense THUNDERSTORM erupts in the East Bay. This is my totally true comic of the boring events that transpired. Now I know why I hate doing autobio comics!!!

edit: now in color

Sort of ran out of time. I’m really phoning it in today!

The photo I copied this from was taken at the Mabuhay Gardens in San Francisco, which evidently was some sort of punk rock club.

Pencil & multiply layers/pencil tool madness

Character designs

Trying to catch up here.

Going faster miles an hour

I’m not gonna try and pretend I tried very hard to capture the likenesses of the actors, but this was heavily inspired by a video on my friend Gabriel’s Bollywood blog: bollywoodarchive.blogspot.com/

Didn’t get to post yesterday. So here’s posts for today and yesterday!!!

These are designs for a comic that I am working on. They are of a goblin band. The goblins look like birds, DEAL WITH IT.

I like drawing feminine things

Sort of a static pose, didn’t have time for anything else! Anyway, it’s supposed to be Chigurh from No Country For Old Men.
