Ancient Frodlodyte

I drew this little guy directly in Procreate with a Pencil By 53. The background is a picture I took on the Big Island of Hawaii, in the rain forest near the volcano. Everything's composited in Photoshop.

Late Halloween

I did this piece way back for Halloween--but neglected to include it here. Next year, I'll get this one ready for Halloween cards or some kinda decorative display.

This started as a doodle in my sketchbook, then took a photograph of the sketch with my trusty iPad Air 2. Production past that point was done with a combination of Nomad brush and Adonit JotDot Pro in Savage Interactive's most excellent Procreate app. I realized what a cool Halloween greeting it might be, but it needed a cooler backdrop. I made an interesting fractal background in Frax, then dropped it into Tiny Planets to swirl it up a bit. Then it was on to Percolator to get those groovy stars in the fractal pattern. Back to Photoshop for final production--some overlay effects for drama. The haunted house was a hodgepodge of references from different haunted houses I found on the interwebs, and did the linework in Illustrator.

Then I realized the piece needed a floating pig...

Happy late Halloween! Maybe I'll get to X-mas before February!

Paleo Kara, cover version

This will likely be the last of this series for awhile.  I have a ton of projects that have been patiently waiting for my attention.  Worry not--more to come as soon as I clear my plate a bit!

Paleo Babs!

I'm having so much fun with these pieces!  The figure is hand-drawn in my trusty Moleskine, scanned and colored in Procreate for iPad, composited with a photo I took on the Big Island of Hawaii in Photoshop!  What an excuse to visit the nostalgia of old comic books with new illustrations!

Master of the Mystic Arts

The Doctor, The Duck, and The Dread Dormammu! Illustrating my love affair with the Bronze Age of comics!

Devil Dinosaur meets Tigra!

Another love letter to the comics of my youth! They just don't make 'em like they used to.

1,000,000 DC Diana

So, who's seen the classic Raquel Welch film 1,000,000 BC?  It shaped my 8-year old mind into the strange and wonderful place it is today.  I love dinosaurs, ape men, iguanas with cardboard fins stuck to their backs, and of course, beautiful and powerful paleolithic cavewomen!  I'm on a roll, combining all that with some of my favorite DC comics layouts from the 70s.  Keep an eye out--more to come!
