A quick one.

More quick character designs. 

Get going.

Usually when I start a new project, I like to do a drawing to get me going. Sort of like a promo poster / style guide / work out the kinks type of thing. Well, here's one for something I'm going to work on in the new year. I also threw in the initial rough, just for kicks.

New year, new things....

Some rough character designs for a story I'm going to work on in the new year. Story wise, I'm keeping it hush, hush for now. The only hint is that the old man is the main focus of the whole thing.

Happy Holidays.

Enjoy the holidays and see you in the new year!

A quick Hellboy sketch using the old brush pen. How can you not like a guy with a big stone hand?  BOOM!

Twitter test 2.

Another Twitter post, another Twitter sketch. Paul Montgomery threw out the idea of a guy in an antique diving suit fighting a yeti. One of the oddest things I've ever been asked to draw. I'm not sure if this is what he was thinking, but here it is.

Sketchers.

Here are some drawings from the old sketch book. Done after a long day, usually watching tv.

Time flies.

I was looking through the old blog, when I realized that it's been a year since Josh and I have been collaborating. So, here's a Cap sketch to celebrate. He's been a great friend and I think he's a hell of a writer. We have a new project in the works and it should be ready soon. Another cool thing about working with Josh, is that I got to know other great people. Such as Jordan Boyd, who will be supplying his excellent color work to the project and Charles Pritchett killing it on the letters. Hooza!

Sweet Tooth.

Here's a little something to thank Jeff for the great drawing he did. My take on his character Sweet Tooth. Be sure to pick up the first issue in September. I can't wait! Check out Jeff's work HERE!

Twitter test.

Just trying out a little something. I put out a post on Twitter asking for ideas for a drawing. Well, this is what happened. Thanks to Josh for the idea. Giant toothy aliens!

Testing.

Nothing crazy here, just testing out a new brush pen.

Awesome.

Here's a drawing that my friend and Flying Burrito line mate Jeff Lemire did. It's for something that Josh and I are working on. Actually, there''s a teaser up at Josh's blog. But I'm keeping hush, hush for now. Sorry folks. If you haven't read any of Jeff's comic work, head over to his blog and check it out! I highly recommend the Eisner-nominated Essex County Trilogy. But it doesn't stop there. His newest graphic novel The Nobody was just released and is amazing. Plus, Jeff has a monthly comic coming out through Vertigo comics called Sweet Tooth. If you like good comics, do yourself a favour and pick up Jeff's stuff.

A little lunch time sketch that I threw together really quick. Tetsuo from Akira. I'm a huge fan of Akira the film, but I love the comic. I remember picking up the Epic comics version of this masterpiece back in 89. I have multiple copies of the entire run. My favorite is the latest that Dark Horse comics put out a couple of years back. I can't stress how big of a fan I am of this title. As far as I'm concerned, it's as close to perfect as a comic gets. Hopefully down the road, I'll do a series of proper drawings. Until then, here's to number 41.

Here's a quick sketch I did a couple of weeks ago. I have something coming down the pipe, but it just isn't ready yet. Dog's are cool though, right?
