New Painting for the Jack Kirby show in Seattle.

This is for the Jack Kirby show that's coming up in August. I always loved the way he visually told stories made with crazy bold graphics. This one is taking an extra creature from an old comic book and painting it up in Photoshop while keeping the bold designs that Kirby created.
I wanted to do something more complicated but I've got many other projects that need my attention right now so this one will have to suffice.

Beard Rock for kids...

Here's my version of the hipster "beard rock" thing trickling down to kids music...

This is in front of the Tacoma History Museum. Happy to see my art up so big. I'm starting to get excited about the opening on May 17th. If you are in the Seattle/Tacoma area, you are invited! Hope to see you there! :D

Brand new digital painting...

"The Beekeepers" 

Time traveling Ernest!

I did this for a project that I had been working on at the Tacoma History Museum. I did several murals and the signage. This one was an extra illustration that I threw in because I really liked working on the exhibit, which opens in May of 2014. Stay posted! :D

Root's aground...

A brand new illustration for a story I'm working on about veggies about ready to be picked and what they've gone through together.

3 New Selfies for my Art Rep...

Here are the rough sketches and the final color versions of my three illustrated selfies.

Halloween Illustration from a few weeks ago...

I used this for the cover of my portfolio book. Mother Monster trying to entertain her offspring.

A newer digital painting...

It's called "King Bird" and yea,  I does have me a story that goes with it.

New red pencil sketch...

"The Mayor of Simple Town"

The story continues...(this is part two)

The story continues...

So then the elves decided to use a rocket ship

that would deliver all the presents

However, they had no landing strip

so the return would lead to bad events

“Let’s use the big truck”, yelled one of the elves

so they packed it up for the night

Every stocking on the shelves

and every wrapped up gift in sight.

Just then the sick reindeer regurgitated Santa Claus

who seemed no worse for the wear

And was welcomed back with a round of applause

even though he smelled like a stinky old bear

So this night, Santa got back in his sleigh

with the presents packed in his bag

Santa was off to places far away

but at the first house he got stuck in the chimney and that was a drag.

A Merry Christmas to all!

A Christmas story in two parts. This is part one.

I came down sick last night for Christmas so I decided, while resting to put together a quick little story for the season using some repurposed art I had done some years ago and cobbled together this silly little story.

This is part one:

On a night sometime before christmas

up at the north pole

Most were in their pajamas

Except that snowman troll

One reindeer was crazed by drinking too much eggnog

and was roaming the north half baked

He came upon Santa and thought he was a hog

The reindeer then swallowed him whole as his belly ached

The elves were puzzled because Santa was missing

A replacement was needed right a way.

Maybe the robot Santa was convincing

as they sadly but busily loaded up the sleigh

But then the abominable snow monster struck

and ate all of it up

The sleigh, the presents but not the big truck

but then stopped like some sort of Schlup

To be continued...

Da' Elf!

A new Holiday doodle for your Seasonal pleasure.

It's been a while...

I have a gallery on DeviantArt and there i am a member of two 'surreal collaboration clubs' Collaborative Corpse and the the Exquisite Corpse. If you like these kind of works you should take a look because there great things being made in these clubs.

This is my last work i did with another artist from Germany.

He made the part that goes diagonal from upper left to the right side beneath. 

That means that i did the right side above and the downside on the left. 

 

And i started a new blog with all the thing i like that i find on the net so take a look and see if there is any interest for you. There is not much yet but there will be a lot to come so maybe just follow it so you can see for your self.

Thanx for your time.
