Zombie Ninja Snowman


The concept of BROBOTICUS came from an
attempt of mine to enter a scholarship contest for
this art school in Vermont.
The requirements were to create a comic of at least
two pages or more and include a robot, a piece of fruit, myself
and a snowman. These seemingly random things came
together to form the story that you will eventually see in
the upcoming BURST anthology.....

the ARTIC LOTUS


A production sketch from my upcoming story in
BURST, the ARTIC LOTUS is one of my favorite
mystic artifacts.
I havent yet decided what it does just yet. I just
like the fact that the geisha inside is so happy to
have her flower bloom in a snow storm...
and yes I know that arctic is spelled with two C's
(thank you KIRK)

COMMANDER CHAOS


This month one of my favorite funny men died.
I grew up in the eighties so the most enduring pop-culture
references in my head are from that era.
One movie that I will never forget is Canonball Run.
It was full of action, comedy, fast cars and it even
had its own super hero: Captain Chaos, Dom Deluise 's alter ego in
the film. Whenever Burt Reynolds would come up against trouble
his best friend changed into Captain Chaos, yeah, he didnt have any
super-powers but it was the fact that he put on the mask and cape on
to help out his friend. Anyhow, I loved that movie and I am a fan of
Deluise. Commander Chaos will hopefully make an appearance in COCKERS
I would name him Captain Chaos but, Im not sure
if that is copy written or not..... since Deluise was a big guy I chose
a bear to represent him in the super hero community.

MMM-HMMM....


YEAH, YEAH
I know you all thought I been slackin' this whole time.
In acuality I have been dealing with real life. You know jobs,
kids, no money. All that good stuff.
Lets see, good news? I have a new story being published in an
anthology from redwolfstudios called BURST. The anthology is
going to debut at this years BALTI-CON. So this October attend
the Batimore Comic Convention and pick up your copy of BURST!!!
Bad news? I dont see your comments anywhere on this blog....

the TRIPTYCH


This is actually 3 separate pieces that make one illustration.
It began as a promotional piece when I first started the
COCKERS series. I was so excited with the series I drew this
out in a few days. Below are close ups of each section cuz I know
you cant really see whats goin on in this little ass photo....

DETAILS-1


The beginning is sometimes the hardest.
I wasnt sure where to place each cocker, what pose to put them in
or how to build the rest of the triptych behind them. I think this came out okay,
the next one I do will start out a bit differently......

DETAILS-2


This is the middle piece which employs many of the
supporting cast in the COCKERS series. There is JONESI the homeless
dog down at the left, beside him is orphan ANNIE and her little stuffed bear
Mr. POOPERS.
ANNIE is allergic to the mist in MYSTY CITY so she has to wear this breathing suit
that is like a big inhaler. Above them is PAT NIMASANG of NIMASANGS tea emporium.
The other characters are underground heroes who will debut later...
