My computer is down and I'm so pissed. Nothing to show because all my stuff runs off the damn computer.

It's great to be back in action. My family was down for 2 weeks. Actually my wife got sick first the first week. So that left me to fend for her and the kids. Then the next week they all got sick and I had to fend for all of them. All sick. That sucked I couldn't do anything for 2 weeks creatively. My wife was a trooper though.

But I'm back now!

I just got off CB Cebulskis twitter page and so inspired. Apparently Marvel just hired an artist that did test samples for them but each time he would take in their crits and advice, thus improving each time. I finally have cleaned the sleight from all other obligations just yesterday (for now anyway) and can now focus on the sample scripts CB gave me after I met him in Seattle. Hopefully I get better each time I give him a sample. It's all a matter of really listening to what they say while staying within the sweetspot of how I do my thing. And if I need to expand that sweetspot then that's how it is.

Right now I'm looking at one particular script CB gave me and it's nothing I'm comfortable with. It's so far away from what I have done so far but I feel the need to break out of the mold. Even if it takes me away from my comfort zone and makes me look bad this is the kind of thing Marvel is doing so I have to be able to go the same route as them.

On a seperate note I just finished a double page splash that was so much fun to drawbut took me literally 2 days to put together in photoshop because of mistakes and trial and error yada yada yada. So along with that I'm post the other 2 pages along with it for The King Who Ate Men.

So we got an article in the Honolulu Advertiser running today. Tim called me last week and got this whole thing rolling. It was really fun doing the interview with Treena. I have yet to see the article, my wife bought a few copies and I'm waiting for her to get home.

Here's a link to the article

The article is watered down compared to the long talk we all had over the phone but that's to be expected. I actually learned alot about Tim because Treena would ask him questions I never thought to ask. Pretty sure it was the same for Tim too. Tim has been awesome the whole tiime I've known him.

Tim you da man!

I was supposed to draw this for my nephew like 2 months ago. But I just kept forgetting. So I did him a good one.

You know what's really gonna suck?

He's either gonna lose it, rip it, ruin it, or maybe even something worse (god knows only he can) before the end of the day.

That's why I scanned this bad boy!

Venoms costume, like most of Marvels characters, is simple in design, but getting the blacks right is a different story. I'm still learning my shading but I had so much fun with this one.

Ok so here's the inks for the newest SPY 6TEEN promo. I'm still not too comfortable inking but there's something about inking that solidifies the art and says this is the end of the lineart. Only colors can come next. A real inker would probably make this piece really zing. But I'm living and learning and enjoying it in the meantime.

Some new characters from SPY 6TEEN. Cool huh? I really had fun with the James Bond looking dude and the bass player. More so the bass player because I also play music in a band but I play guitar. My brother plays bass. And he's pretty damn good too!

I need to work on that cheerleader and the geeky dude though.

OK I just got an e-mail from Tim saying he needed another promo. Well he actually told me way earlier. I just forgot. He said dynamic pose and this is what I came up with. I'll show you the inked version when I'm done.
