Opera!

A quick little design for a Music Appreciation class assignment...

A Few Characters...

Some quick sketches for a story in progress.

Trucks!

Thanks to a last-minute class cancellation, I actually found myself with a few minutes of free time today. To celebrate, I present some sketchbook drawings from last month's "Touch-A-Truck Day" festival, which took place right here on 8th Avenue on my literal doorstep. This year, they even had a petting zoo!

Halloweenies!

The annual flyer for the annual Halloween video party-slash-giant goulash cauldron. If any of you art peeps are free Saturday evening and want to swing by, let me know and I'll forward the details.

Color Roughs!

And now, color roughs. I'm hoping that doing these ahead of time will speed up the actual color painting stage...

Comics Thumbs by Request

The latest thing I'm working on. Posted for a friend who wanted to see 'em...

Sixty Minute Monster #7

This is probably going to be the last one of these for the time being, as there are a lot of other things I need to work on right now...



When it comes to bestiary beasties, the dragon - along with the related worm, wyvern, et cetera - is overladen with metaphorical freight. Where European mythology is concerned, it's kind of an all-purpose symbol of evil. But one recurring theme is its fondness for hoarding and guarding treasure; this is certainly true of the dragon in the epic poem Beowulf, and the Fafnir of Norse legend is a human (or humanoid) who has metamorphosed into a dragon during his years of jealous gold-hoarding. In other words, the dragon originates in the lust for treasure, so the motif here is inspired by an artist known for his fondness for gold decoration.
