"Drooliani"

Yep, more zombies! I painted this with acrylics, another sample for the guys at Topps to CHEW on.
Drooliani's having a brain fart, he can't seem to remember why in the world he's running for office?

The Dead, The Bad, and The Ugly!

Just messing around with ideas . . . preparing myself, getting myself into a "Zombie Groooove". Now, obviously if this was an actual trading card, Clint would be doing something that the gag artist at Topps had created . . . so please ignore the stiffness of the portrait look. The point of this test sample was only to show my approach to painting with watercolors.

Hollywood Zombies!

If you haven't already done so, check out www.hollywoodzombies.com to help you find the comics shops and other stores where they are being sold. Pick up a few packs...they're cool.
Some really fun work from Hermann Mejia, Mark Fredrickson, Fred Harper, Drew Friedman, Bobby Chiu, Richard Williams and so forth.

It is rumored that I may be joining the zombie crew soon to add my own bit of gross yet satisfying filth to the collection! For now here's a quick self-zombie sketch that I did this morning . . . this isn't far from how I really look when I wake up!

Golfer Mike Adams!

While working on my illustration for Golf mag, I would flip through an issue of Golf for inspiration, and everytime I would get distracted by this instructional page by Golfer Mike Adams. What a "unique" body shape. So this morning I had to get my sketch on, and decided it was best for therapy sake to sketch Mr. Adams . . . thank you Mike Adams for the morning boost!

Final drawing for Wine & Spirits Magazine!

This is the final pencil along with a color version that I did for fun. For the color version, I just went into photoshop and added a little color in a seperate layer under the pencil lines. You'll probably notice a big difference comparing the sketch to the final drawing. The reason for that is that I did the sketch very quickly and got the OK to continue. At the same time I was burning the candle to finish my piece for GOLF. So when it was time for me to draw the final I noticed some mistakes that I had made when judging the anatomy of the models face. The mistakes were adjusted and all is well.

My illustration for GOLF magazine is finished, I'll post it when I can, as well as a few others, so stay tuned!
