Portraits and such

Here's a couple of sketches I'm working on as practice. I'm thinking of starting a series of circus freaks drawings. It's quite the possibility. Enjoy!

Don't Tell Locke What He Can't Do

I have found a new love. Her name is watercolor. She has changed the way I work and the way I perceive an image. Fuck, it really has sparked a new interest with my art. I think I was about to hit another fucking rut but working on this piece really helped me swerve away from hitting that wall head first. Fresh coat of brains: Avoided.

This originally started off as a warm up piece but found a life of its own within the collection of projects. At first I wasn't even working on John Locke, just a face. A random, non-existent face. But the more I looked at it the more I saw Locke. The features were there even if they weren't laid out on paper. I saw this as the perfect chance to brush up (literally. WHAT A JOKE! *WINK* ) on my water color skills. Now, if you know me at all then you'll know I fucking hate working with brushes. I love my pencils and I love my pens. Wouldn't trade them for anything else. But fuck man, as soon as I started working, shit just clicked.

It was such a refreshing experience and really just rejuvenated me. It was exactly what I needed. Lost again saves another life. And really, it had to be destiny. Locke is my favorite character on the show and I always toyed with the idea and depicting him. Kinda funny if you ask me since he believes so much in destiny. I really wanted to capture his stoic look and personality. Show everything he's been through through his eyes and the rough features of his face. Like every wrinkle tells a story. I'm really proud with how this turned out and extremely happy that I finished it fast too. Hell, I'm even toying with the idea of selling the original on Etsy! Anyway, let me know what you guys think about it.

Sneakie Poooooo

Just a quick update for now. Here are a few pics of shit I'm working on. The first two should hopefully be done within the next two weeks. Lets see how well that plan goes shall we? The Wolverine pic is something I'm doing for fun. Just something I'm do for practice. The last pic is something big I'm working on which I can't discuss at the moment. But keep your ear to the ground for some news on it. Or not, you might get an ear wig in there. Ewwwwww.

Little doodle for an art challenge

Rules for the challenge were to make a little doodle with a love or valentines day theme while at work on a post-it. Not so bad eh?

Flyer Artwork

Recently I was just asked to work on a flyer and logo design for a booking company that a friend of mine is starting for local NJ bands. I finished this last night along with a few other sketches. Surprisingly, it didn't take that long from start to finish. I usually not this happy with a final piece unless I spend every waking moment on it. But I sat down and was determined to get this out before the deadline. Probably spent somewhere around 3 to 4 hours on it in total. Hopefully, they'll be more flyers like this to come. Check out the bands if you're looking for some pretty sweet new music. And if you're in the tri-state area, keep an eye out for the company and their shows. They should be booking some pretty cool stuff in the near future.

Pider-Mang

A friend of mine requested a little doodle of our favorite web head. It's a little quick one hour sketch but I think it came out very well for being a rushed job. Practicing everyday has really been helping me get back into the flow of things. I think I might draw quick renditions of my favorite characters everyday. Just to stay sharp. Maybe I can hand them away as gifts? Nah fuck that, ALL FO' MEEEEHHHHHH.

I should be getting dressed for work but eehhhhhhhh

Been meaning to post these up since early December. They're little doodles I've been doing on a friends dry erase board. It's given me some great ideas for future projects so keep an eye out on that!
