This is a Batman piece for my local comic book shop. Still some small things I'll clean up and then hopefully someone will buy it at Coast City Comics on Congress street.

update! I forgot the batman logo and I fixed some shading issues.

Quick SKetch

Steampunk show in Portland

This is the piece I made for the steampunk show in Portland. For the month of June you can see pieces by the MEIC, a group of local illustrators.

It's a little more realistic than my other work these days but steampunk is about machines so I had to whip out my perspective skills. Couple of good reference sites for scientific perspective here and here.

Picture book advertisement.

Thanks to a generous offer by Judith Hunt I was able to be part of the Picture Book this year. It's an important annual publication which features hundreds of artists.

And while I'm working on the steampunk illustration (I'll do a process blogpost for that one), I finished this one. Got a little carried away in the rendering. Do you like it with or without the rimlight?

This one was a lot of fun. The whole point of the exercise was to have a fast workflow so I didn't get into too many details with the painting. Takes about a day's work.

I have a couple more of these in the books but I need to focus on a steampunk illustration for a local show here in Portland, ME.

Quick fashion Sketch

I'm working on three fashion illustration and i had this sketch hanging around. I decided to ink it using a pentel brush pen. I put on a couple of lines too many but it's pretty decent for a quickie.

The Wolfman.

The latest portfolio piece. This one took me a while to complete. Mainly because I had some change of heart about the color scheme. I was thinking about putting in a blueish rim light but i think i like the homogeneous color scheme I have right now.

This piece was originally intended to be part of a movie poster illustration ("The Wolfman"). I'm designing the font and will repost it when I have painted it all.

Another picture book illo

Well, I've been out of it for a while. I was very busy with a couple of animation and motion graphics projects. It's eerily quiet now, though so this week I got to finish this one. Almost ready with another one, hopefully I'll get to post that one next week.

Moby Dick

I made this one for the MEIC show in the Freeport Library. I love the theme and the deadline this shows provided. Once i settled on a vertical frame, I finalized the composition quickly. The white whale was intended to provide some room for copy. The biggest hurdle was getting it printed and the final print ended up slightly fuzzy and overly dark. Click for details.
