A couple of concepts for childern's book covers I'm working on at the moment. They won't be used, but they did turn out pretty good. It gave me an excuse to mess around with layouts and compositions. And the project is also forcing me to draw animals which hasn't been one of my strong points. That and vehicles. And architecture. Who am I kidding? If it doesn't have breasts, I'm pretty much useless at times. But I sure am working on it.


It was bound to happen sooner or later. For your viewing pleasure, Brokeback to the Future. Editing at its finest.

Check out Patrick Morgan's Whaleboy vinyl-toy prototype. It's tight as hell. He'll be exhibiting at WonderCon this weekend. I'll be missing it this year on account of not living in the area anymore. So do me a favor and also check out Howard Shum, Alberto Ruiz, and Daniel Davis. All cool folks, all cool art.

drawing jam: corinna

Finally gotten around to participating in a Drawing Jam over at DrawingBoard.org. They always seem to find some awesome photo references. It's a great way to warm-up during a creative block.


If you haven't seen this already, you're missing out on pure genius. That or pure, unabridged, ridiculous insanity. You decide. Either way it's cracked-out entertainment. And I, for one, am definitely hooked on this feeling. It's the man, the myth, the legend... The Hoff. Now I know why he's king in Germany. Ooga chakka.

illustration friday: e is for...

E is for me, Erwin. So here's a shot of me and a painting of mine back when I enjoyed painting on anything but canvases. I miss the smell of Krylon in the morning.

Anyhoo, check out some of these awesome art blogs I stumbled upon when I should have been busy doing work:

The Wonderful World of Shum
That Not So Good... Bacon
Ale's
Paolo Campinoti

illustration friday: cold

This weeks illfriday topic is cold. It's cold right now. I'm cold right now. In honor of how cold it is, I will post something I did from my calendar. That's right kids. I'm lazy. Lazy is king. Anyhoo, the illos are for the months of December, January, and February.


The Complete Calvin and Hobbes, by Bill Waterson, that Jenn ordered for me just came in a few days ago. It is my all time favorite comic strip of... all time. Along with the collection of every single brilliant, insightful, and hilarious comic strip ever created is an introduction filled with great anecdotes from Waterson's experience before, during, and after Calvin and Hobbes. And it's freaking heavy! I have at least one thing in common with Bill Waterson. As a kid I, too, wanted to either be a cartoonist or an astronaut. But my dream of being an astronaut where later crushed when I lost all understanding of math beyond fractions and long division (which I actually took in college). Jenn also got me The Quitter graphic novel. She takes such good care of me.
