I have a piece showing at the GuitarMania show at Arts Collinwood. The work will be up from January 12th – February 4th. There are some awesome designs up. If you are in the area, go find “Bad to the Bones” and browse the other beauties on display.
If selected, I get to plaster my design on a 10 foot guitar. Intense.
Good luck to all of the artists and thanks to the sponsors.
Earth, Air, Fire, Water & most importantly Heart.
Walking into the lightning cracks of an approaching storm, I perceived a bolt to ignite a heart and fell inward to its pulse. I saw the transition of elements and the movement of forces. The seas ebbed and the fires raged; fueled by a vortex of wind which churned through the chambers during its rhythmic cycles.
The Illuminated has been in the works for some while now with scripting and is now on its way down the road toward the detailed concept phase. The world is shaping and the story is materializing. I have a lot of big ideas for the journey and it will be a long one. Enjoy a couple of sketches in the meantime.
Art… All night? I’m in!
I will be attending Art All Night with a piece this year. This will be my first time at the event so I am excited to experience it.
Keep an eye peeled for the fox and keep the other scanning for me in the crowd.
It has been in the works a while, and I feel I am entering a stage of creative fervor. The pressure has been building more than usual and I am releasing it in a variety of forms. I do not know which of these meddles will see the light of day, and which will dwindle as another fire takes light, but I am very excited about the projects in the works.
Stay Tuned.
Monday night was a blast at Gypsy Cafe on the South Side. It was an evening of humorous comic book heroines and even a hero. Bios were read, poses were struck, and I was able to capture a couple sketches. I can’t recall all of the models names, so I apologize, but here are a couple sketches from the evening.
Here is a little gif animation from my archives.
I created it back somewhere in 03 – 04.
Kinda cute… I thought.
Pittsburgh being home to a few zombie movies, it was a natural fit for the Dr. Sketchy that ensued. Wholesome flesh eating fun for the whole family. Thanks to all the models, Dr. Sketchy, Zombo and AIP.
Bundhosen – Check.
Pencil Roll – Check.
Sketch Pad – Check.
Sharpener – Wheres my sharpener?
Dull pencils would have to do for the night…
Things started of with the 2 minute speed sketches…its a real kick in the butt.
There was a bit more sketchiness, then Paige Turner danced. I am always amazed with her choreography, costuming and presentation. Awesome Stuff! Tonight was another stellar piece of work. I’m always a bit mesmerized with the fluidity of it all, especially the previous fan dance.
A Quick Political Game – Draw who you support as a zombie
The zombies kept coming…
And then it was over.
After being invited into a Fantasy Hockey League, I figured predraft was a perfect time to give my team a flavor.
I used the Yahoo hockey helm as guidline and slapped my own art work on the side.
Without further adieu… I give you the Kalamazoo Llamas.
The bricks are a little salute to Marc-Andre Fleury.
