The eclectic post!

So this post has a little bit of everything in it. Comics, fine art, doodles, mutants! This encompasses the vast majority of my work over the winter break. The first four are for the up coming gallery show "This is the Tale" on February 3rd at the IPW gallery, with amazing artists Isabel Patino,  Michelle Lagasca, Tamara Chang and Chen Chen! Here is a taste of my contribution.

Pocket full of characters

 I like making up fake bands then coming up with character design for all the members! Right now i’m doing the frontmen


Cornell Sharkface from the psychedelic funk space band of the same name. In his stage show the whole band dresses up in robot suits that allow them to float over crowds and and produce lazers and pyrotechnics. and Rude Madder, frontman of Mammoth Wang the washington based metal band who play with instruments made from prehistoric animals.  


Lead singer for "Harpy and the Houdinis" Iris Aello. They combine lounge music and magic tricks. Boris Bonegrinder from Scandinavian folk metal band "Oger"


Magie Loo Sue from the blue grass noise band “The Black Tar”. She and her family are from swamps next to a nuclear waste dump where they've been playing music for generations. Black Toothed Tom from “Dead Toms”, they only preform on halloween and on special occasions. Human fans have to sign death waiver because the high rate of zombiefication at their shows 


Marie Laveau the 3rd of the Louisiana swamp rock band “Monster Mama”. It’s said she can summon the big bad voodoo spirits themselves to aid her music. 


Jack from “Spring Heeled Jack”, know for his free concerts paid for by his life of crime.


frontman for the cult transient rock experience Lich King. Since it is immortal and a shifter of shapes throughout the performance the costume will shift as the music does kinda like that screen saver thing that changes with the music… what’s it called…

Bonus sketches



Sneak peek at a project that's gonna come out at the end of the month. stay tuned

portrait of an artist through his hand doodles

So it's 2013 and i've been lazy. Not to say i haven't been doing stuff but none of it is at a presentable stage. So in the spirit of laziness here is all my hand doodles from 2012. I've been doing notations on my hands and the've often been confused for tattoos or else illegible chicken scratch but i've grown fond of them enough to document them... hell I'll even translate them for you guys
