So I have a ton of drawings that I do sitting here at work on scrap paper and I just have a pile of them sitting there. So, I have decided to compile them into groups (maybe specific groups, maybe not) and post one sheet a week. Some are doodles, some are ideas being worked out, some are for future projects and some are....well they just are. They're fun. So enjoy!

Web Shooters in progress.

So, the first session is over and here is where we stand.

There has been some modification to the design so that it could actually be put on my arm. We decided to simplify the panels to give it more of a "classic spidey" look to it. So getting the stencil on took a lot longer than we thought, but we totally got it right. Now the left hand should be easier.

Next week we add additional line weights to this hand and do the outlines to the left hand.
Then we wait about 4 weeks (the palms hurt like hell to get done and take longer to heal) and then move on to color. Exciting!

Thanks to Anna Banana at Evolved in Columbus, OH for doing the awesome work on the pain in the ass design I brought her.

Check out some quick and dirty photos we took last night.

Just trying to get more toys.

As if I need them.
I drew this to try and win a Joe Ledbetter VTN Exclusive MONO SMASH figure on a podcast I watch called Toy Break. (www.toybreak.com) It isn't a "who drew the best piece" contest, just random, but to be considered you had to draw the SMASH character. I sure hope luck is on my side 'cause that is a sweet toy.

Sneek Peek!

I haven't posted in a while due to being super busy and having a scanner that barely works. Oh well. One of these days I will get a ton of stuff I have been drawing up for you to see. In the meantime, here is some stuff from a new comic book I am working on called Radio Free Gahanna.
Check it out and I will talk and show more about it at a later date.

NERD DAY POSTER 2

NERD DAY POSTER 1

NERD DAY FLIER

A friend of mine is having an event on Free Comic Book Day at Packrat comics in Hilliard, OH. If you are in town you should go! He asked me to make him a flier and two posters. Here is the flier, and the posters will follow.

Sooooooo, I'm full of shit.

In the post below I said that I would be posting more, getting back on track, etc... yada, yadda, yadda, blah, blah, blah. I have dropped the ball on the drawing of the day postings and that sucks. Life has been nuts since I last posted anything. I got a new job, my grandma died, I got a new car, etc... But here I am back at it. I cannot do the drawing of the day again just yet but I will in a few weeks.

Next week we are going to Disney World and I have a little project I may be working on while I am there (not for Disney, just for myself), so ther is that.

I will also start posting sketches for a new comic book that I am going to be illustrating as soon as I figure out what everyone looks like.

So there is my update, I will be posting some other stuff I have been doing since I last posted as well. I hope you enjoy what is to come.

It has been a while but finally something!

I haven't posted anything in a while because things have been really busy. However, this is where I get back on track. Drawings of the day, illustrations, etc. So here is progress on the G'NORT piece I started a while back.
