sketches to post

so! i got a few minutes to do... i dunno what with, so i decided i should post a few of my droorings that i've managed to squeak out here and there over the last few weeks in between work and shorts and getting ready for WonderCon. below are a few quick pieces i did for the Sketch Dailies twitter account this month. they were fun warmups to do, so hopefully i can squeeze in a few more here and there. i think the prompts are pretty obvious, but i'll type them above each drawing:

honey badger:

Ursula:

Sherlock Holmes:

thanks for swinging by!

Boy Wonder

so somehow it may be possible that this is only the second Robin I've ever drawn in my life. I'm not sure how true that is, but I can only remember one other time specifically that I drew him. Generally, I spend all my time drawing The Dark Knight (being the huge Batman fan that I've always been). Anyway, I hope ya dig it:

52 Batmen #06

well, some of you may have noticed that it's Wednesday again. and so, still keeping with my new year resolution, i've finished my sixth installment of my 52-week Batman extravaganza. i must admit, this is my favorite so far. it was the most fun to do and i feel like if i had a "style", this would be it. so maybe my journey has already come to an end with this whole 52 Batmen experiment! i dunno, maybe not. gonna do more before i settle here, but i hope you like this one. my favorite comment about it so far was a wish to see this guy in an animated series. i could be down for that cartoon version for a (temporary) change :0)

also, i thought it'd be fun to post the negative version:

52 Batmen #05

well, here's the new Batman for this week. starting to think that having it done on Wednesdays is complicated for me. throws me off quite a bit. nevertheless, i've completed the Caped Crusader in what makes me think of the old 1940's Batman movie serials. anyone seen those? no? just me? yeah, probably. well anyway, i like that it has that same creepy old-timey and hyper-real vibe to it. this little guy is actually only about the size of my palm. quite small for a sketch like this, but it was fun to bust out some graphite for this week's Batman. it's been a while since i've drawn something and had the outer ridge of my hand all black. ok, enough rambling. you look at this one, i gotta get back to work on Ace!

52 Batmen #04

something a little different than my cartoony norm. i dig it.

52 Batmen #03

well, it looks like i'll have to break the pattern a little this week. since SOPA/PIPA is trying to implement internet censorship, there's a posting blackout happening on the webbernet tomorrow, and i don't want to be the only lame-o posting during this epic time of digital conquest... not that a little guy like me has much effect in this happening. so with that, here's my latest Batman illustration in this year-long endeavor. can you dig it?

52 Batmen #02

here's another one. second installment of my loooong road of Batmen. this one's sort of an homage to one of my favorite comic makers out there right now, Ted Seko. i'll never be that awesome, but at least this piece came out interestingly. i like how his style's taken a noticeable influence on my own.

52 Batmen #01

so i recently had an idea that was sparked by a blog that showed the 30 coolest Batman illustrations of the year. it reignited a flame of mine to draw a super rad, mega righteous Batman design. i figured i'll draw one every week until i come up with one that i'm really satisfied with. the first one was sort of a crappy doodle experiment to get this going for Week 01, but sometimes those are the most fun to draw. in any case, the plan is to post one every Wednesday for the whole year. hope you'll come back to check them out!

Christmas Print colored

WELP! here it is. right on time as i promised. hope it was worth the wait. thanks to everyone who expressed excitement and enthusiasm for me to actually get a piece of extraneous artwork done. i had a lot of fun with it (for obvious reasons). many of you found humor within the immediate content, and some of you where able to pull the additional level of humor. basically, this is a call to the line in Batman Begins. it's a pivotal point in Batman's character when he's getting the hang of mastering the art of instilling fear in criminal scum! (it's also a line that Noel and i used to make fun of quite a bit back in the day -- oh, Christian Bale... ::sigh::)

anyway, as i promised, i'm offering 25 signed prints of this guy for $20 each. if you'd like one, please email me. i have a feeling they'll go quickly because i've been posting about this on Facebook, Twitter and Google+, and some people have already been calling dibs. as always, i appreciate your support and enthusiasm.

happy holidays, sucka! and a very Gotham Christmas!

A Very Gotham Christmas 2011

WELP! here it is, fans of optik nourishment. this is the print i promised you all for Christmas 2011. this is the black & white version so you can see it all cleaned up before being colored. (some people like that part of the process.) i want to have the colored version done within the next day or two. in any case, consider this my Christmas present to you all since i've been M.I.A. for so long. my apologies. things have been quite hectic for me, as some of you know. nevertheless, i'm on the rebound and this is my first piece to prove it. hope ya'll dig it. unfortunately, i realized last night after finishing it that i seemed to have drawn this for myself -- whoopsie. in any case, i think i'm going to do 25 signed (color, 8x10) prints of this for anyone out there who digs this as much as i do. let me know if any of you are interested in this. i'll understand if you want to wait to see the colored version, so i'll be sure to annouce when it's done on Twitter, Google+ and Facebook. thanks for staying fans through my brief hiatus, dear friends! happy holidizzays and whatevs.

bat-finger painting!

so i finally found out that Sketchbook Pro is available on the android phones (which is what i have)! i was super excited to download it for free onto my HTC phone and get to painting. here is my first digital painting created on my phone!

after quite some time, Sketch & Sniff is ready and available to you and yours through following the link to the left. sorry it took so long, but your patience is much appreciated. and of course, i have to admit that we're still trucking along within the beginning stages, but soon we'll be bringing you things you've been waiting your whole life for!! the blog has been up for the last few days (since January 1st), but i didn't have a clear quick link to it. before you had to go through my profile to visit the project studio, but now it's super easy.

Batman Parody

while i'm getting this ready to run off a couple prints for some people, i thought i might take the time to throw this up on here for those who couldn't make it to the gallery. people seemed to like this one quite a bit. it's done in prisma color pencils... (with no rulers sucka!)
