Sketchbook preview!

Here is a preview of my FIRST EVER sketchbook, which I'll have for sale at Emerald City Comicon and Spokane Comicon. Huzzah!

Skull & Scart

I actually had enough time at the last TAG meeting to get a drawing done!  Amazing!  I know it's rather generic, but it's done!  That's gotta count for something, right?

Getting ready for ECCC

Had a good time at TAG last guys!
Here's some stuff I'm doing for the upcoming ECCC...

This is the drawing for the sketchbook I'm putting together, hopefully in time for ECCC!

And here's the piece I did for their Monsters and Dames charity Souvenir book. Actually this pic is updated compared to the one being created for the book. I had to get it done for the deadline but wanted to tweak it a bit further.

ECCC Teaser!

A bunch of us Popcap people have been making an anthology to have available at ECCC 2011. This is a small sample of a page of the six page story I just completed. I won't be showing any more; at least until the comic sees print. The book is our own venture, about monsters, and not related to work at all. I can't wait to see what everyone else did!

When the book is printed, I'll let everyone know how to get a copy.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Lunch Crunch Blog

Hey TAGites,last week some friends and I started a new blog for people doing one hour studies. It started with a few of us doing some Zbrush timelapse recordings, but you can post pretty much anything as long as it's a short study (drawings, painting, writing, music, whatever).  I am a believer in the 10,000 hour theory and I think every hour counts.  If you'd like to join the blog, shoot me an email here.

Halloween Art Show

Hey all!


I won't be able to attend tonight's TAG, but however I want to invite all of you to the Bureau of Drawers Halloween art show at the Cafe Racer. I'll have a couple of screenprints in the show, and it'll be great to see your mugs there!
 Here are the details:

Greetings Friends and Fiends! Guys and ghouls! Guests and Ghosts! Looking for a great way to kick of the Halloween season? If so, come on down to the Cafe Racer on Friday, Oct. 8th from 6-10 PM, for the Bureau's Halloween Art Show!

Character designs

I haven't been lazy, just working on stuff mostly rough stage things for animators, modelers and no artists to all get a fel for the end result. This is one such piece. Fleshed out head images for a robot, with a few fun notes.

Project Freetime

Hey guys, it's me, Jonathan (Coop), sometimes attendee at TAG. I'm putting together a little project and looking for contributors. I know, I know... who has the time? But I welcome you to read about it, and see what you think. It's going to be a collection of short stories / artwork in the style of Flight or Apple. Rick asked me to post it here and mentioned that others were working on similar projects. If you're interested, please check out the blog: http://prjfreetime.blogspot.com/p/about.html . Your feedback is much appreciated!

Facebook Waits For No Man

While I was conducting a critique in my Thursday night portfolio course at DigiPen, my students were carrying on a real-time play-by-play of sorts via Facebook. Guess who found out about it when he logged in the next morning? SPOILER ALERT: I did.
