Jason vs. the Hydra

Jason vs. the Hydra for Silver Screen Society's July movie "Jason and the Argonauts". Everybody always talks about the skeleton monsters from this movie but I think that the hydra with all of the heads moving independently is just as impressive.

The Persimmion Sequence

If you’re in the Minneapolis area make sure to check out the Station Zero show at Lightgrey Art Lab opening this Friday at 7 where you can see my reinterpretation of the cover for the retro sci-fi novel "The Persimmion Sequence". You can also purchase copies of the print and loads of others in their online shop. The book may not have been the most exciting story ever but I can assure you that it does contact apes with transplanted brains, giant evil computers and exploring planets filled with crystals. Just in case you're curious I've included the original cover below.

Adventure Time: Candy Capers #1 San Diego Comicon Exclusive Variant

I am very excited to finally be able to share this, this is my cover for Boom Studios Adventure Time mini-series Candy Capers written by Yuta Ota, Ananth Panagariya. This was originally going to be for a later issue in the series but I found out recently that it was selected to be a San Diego Comicon Exclusive for Awesome Conventions with a limited run of only 500 copies. You can preorder a copy here or stop by their table. Seriously though shout out to the folks at Boom who are doing amazing things and letting cool people contribute to their projects.

 Also on a personal note, I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way that I can come and hang out and do a signing but am having some trouble tracking down a place to stay, everything seems pretty much completely book already so if anyone know somewhere that has space or I can crash for a night or two let me know.

The Ice Cream Shuffle

My latest book for MeeGenius is now in their shop, "The Ice Cream Shuffle" by Lauren Pastorek tells the story of a girl who just wants so ice cream but in her ice cream fueled daze get separated from her mother, and the entire story is told in song.

Monsters Meet on Mondays

"Monsters Meet on Mondays" by Steven Paul Winkelstein is a book that I illustrated this past winter that is now available through Meegenius and tells the story of what happens when a group of monsters get together.

Paper Boat

Sail safe little boat, Gil thought watching as it floated out into the water, and know that I’ll be here when you get back.

Kinect App Heads

Yesterday I took part in an event at the Bellevue Microsoft store with a group of coder/developers building a Kinect app. Over the course of the afternoon we built an app that would replace your head with a character head and animate your speech in real time. These are the heads that I built, I put the various frames together in a gif so you can see them in action.

Biker Mage

Here's a biker mage warm up sketch for you.

The Princess Who Decided to Become a Pirate

As she walked down the docks with Captain Beryl all Princess Audrey could think was “Why would you want to rule a kingdom when you can plunder treasure and sail around the world.”

Gambit

The name is Gambit! Remember it!

New Prints in the Shop

I’ve updated my shop and you can now purchase prints of the superhero portraits that I’ve been doing lately and more.

Pearl Diving

Prior to modern innovations for every ton of bivalves searched only 3-4 quality pearls were found.

Puck

“Outta the way, eh?”
p.s. I love everything about Alpha Flight.

Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)

Even rookies know that a Green Lantern isn't without fear. A Green Lantern overcomes fear. Everytime they face it.

Rogue

Y'all oughta learn how to behave

Bravery

I had the opportunity to take part in the latest Ten Paces and Draw swap based on the theme “Bravery”, I received a sketch from Abi Stevens to go off of, which I may have diverted a little bit from this time. I have to say that this was my favorite swap yet. See all of the entries here

Captain America

I'll have to give them a symbol, just as I've always done! -- To show them evil can be confronted and beaten!

Beast

Oh, my stars and garters!

Primrose

Primrose ventured deeper and deeper into the forest on her quest knowing the spectral summons would protect her from its more hostile inhabitants.

Summer at Cornish 2013

I know it’s only May but if you are a high school student (ages 15-18) who thinks that spending the summer inside drawing rad things and watching cartoons sounds way better than a job at the ice cream hut or babysitting your little brother or if you know of someone else who fits that criteria I’d like to suggest the Summer At Cornish Precollege Program from July 8-August 2nd where I happen to be teaching a Sequential Design and Illustration course. 

Last year we had a blast and some of the things coming out of the class included a biker dude prince charming, multi-colored bats dripping with disease and a sea captain literally sword planting a torpedo into a submarine. I can vouch for the fact that most if not all students left the class with portfolio worthy work based on real life assignments. 

You do not need to live in Seattle to take part of this, I know for a fact housing is available and they even do extra programming for the students living on campus. Also if you register and pay before Friday May 3rd you’ll get a 10% discount on the course

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
