Life Drawings (2008)

I thought I’d switch it up this time, and showcase a series of life drawings I did at both the alumni drawing class at sva, and the art students league. I love drawing from the model, because it sets up all kinds of different problems from comics. It also allows you to try different things, as well as the obvious of learning from life. I really should do more of this. Hopefully soon!

Tales of the TMNT #22 (2005)

This was a fun issue for me. A lot of creative freedom. And I got to stretch my grey toning muscles! And color muscles as well for the cover. Inks by Sean (Iron Man, Legend of the Blue Marvel) Parsons. I CAN’T WAIT for the day he inks me again! Been too long! The last page was inked by Mike (Batman, Darkhawk) Manley! Anutha great!

MTV European Music Awards

Back in 2005, I did a bunch of illustrations of music celebs for MTV. They were then put into either “after effects” or “final cut” (2 programs used for editing footage, or adding I guess. Not my area of expertise. But I’m leaning towards after effects because they added a lot of animation to the art) This project was a lot of fun, and working with the animation crew rocked. I hope I can do something with them again someday.

Some were drawn from photos, others were traced on vellum from footage so they’d line up with actual footage for transitions between the 2.
