It's been a learning experience promoting myself online since I started out using this blog as my main digital presence. I owned my first computer in late 2009 and never had the need to bare my soul on the internet (...had a Myspace in college, lol) until I've had to become a freelance artist. I'm still keeping at it!</div>

Here's an illustration I digitally inked and colored in Photoshop. Click <a href="http://shamusbeyale.blogspot.com/2015/09/kylo-ren-illustration.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> to see my original post about the inks. I'm excited for <i>Star Wars: The Force Awakens</i> and I hope Kylo Ren's character will be a force to be reckoned with. Since I've yet to see the film, I have no clear idea about his relationship with Darth Vader and I hope this piece makes sense. It's been revealed that Kylo is obsessed with Vader and I felt an illustration with the both of them along with a hint of Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious and Anakin/Luke's lightsaber would be a nice homage to the old and new movies. I also liked the First Order and Sith symbols being in a frame around the image, I hope this still works once the story is revealed in <i>The Force Awakens</i>.<br />

Here's a Godzilla illustration I did to get that itch scratched. I love Gojira and have wanted to do a colored illustration of him that would do the King of Monsters justice. This was traditionally inked with brush, pen and ink on 11"x17" Bristol board and digitally colored in Adobe Photoshop.</div>

My homeland newspaper, <a href="http://navajotimes.com/" target="_blank">Navajo Times</a>, featured me in the <a href="http://navajotimes.com/ae/people/navajo-comic-artist-gets-mainstream-exposure-on-leguizamo-autobiography/" target="_blank">November 5th</a> edition. This was a my first big interview in general.<br />
Here's a photo of the Ghetto Klown graphic novel being sold initially at the 2015 New York Comic Con, along with screen captures of the Navajo Times web articles and scans of the print edition. </div>

I wanted to enter into a <a href="http://community.welovefine.com/m/contests/designs/The-Terminator-Fan-Design-Contest" target="_blank">Terminator Fan Design Contest</a> and do a digital painting inspired by pulp magazine covers and 80's movie poster art. This is my first ambitious digital painting, I usually color line art in Adobe Photoshop as opposed to doing painting techniques. I had to turn in a work in progress to meet the contest deadline, but I still wanted to complete the piece, which I'll update until I finish the whole poster.</div>

<i>I felt like I hadn’t seen people tell our life stories, of somebody
coming from an underprivileged background and trying to make it and
trying to deal with our issues, and I just found that that was the
interesting part of it. What is it like to be urban and disenfranchised
and still have a point of view and still have a sense of humor and still
try to make it in America? What’s that life like?</i><br />
<br />
<i>I read a statistic a couple years back that said that 45 percent of
Latin kids drop out of high school. It wasn’t a shock to hear what a
tragedy that is, but I knew what they felt like. You just feel so
disconnected and so invisible, and I was hoping <i>Ghetto Klown</i> would make them feel like, “If I could make it, then you could make it – then anyone could make it.”</i><br />

Hi everybody! I have some awesome news to share. I was hired to co-illustrate (great artist <a href="https://twitter.com/christacassano?lang=en" target="_blank">Christa Cassano</a> starts off the book) a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_novel" target="_blank">graphic novel</a> (also called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comics" target="_blank">comics</a>) written by <a href="http://remezcla.com/features/john-leguizamo-new-york-comic-con/" target="_blank">John Leguizamo</a> (some of my favorite films of his are <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y04ms0oR_5A" target="_blank">Super Mario Bros.</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-043a58Mgo" target="_blank">Carlito's Way</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0324KvZc7M" target="_blank">To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VBsi0VxiLg" target="_blank">Romeo and Juliet</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6mRIElGyE8" target="_blank">The Pest</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WukhbpAhvrc" target="_blank">Spawn</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t2UMyZ3piE" target="_blank">Land of the Dead</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgFws3AoIUY" target="_blank">Chef</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDvF7rL8u1k" target="_blank">Kick-Ass 2</a> and his small but magnetic role in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbD1TZa8YII" target="_blank">John Wick</a>, plus all his <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Leguizamo#Broadway_and_theater" target="_blank">one-man shows</a>) called <b><i><a href="http://www.abramsbooks.com/product/ghetto-klown_9781419715181/" target="_blank">Ghetto Klown</a></i></b> based off his hit Broadway <a href="http://ghettoklownonbroadway.com/" target="_blank">show</a> of the same name and it will be published by <a href="http://abramscomicarts.com/" target="_blank">Abrams ComicArts</a>, an imprint of <a href="http://www.abramsbooks.com/" target="_blank">Abrams Books</a>, on <a href="http://john-leguizamo.squarespace.com/#" target="_blank">October, 20th</a>. <a href="http://www.today.com/video/john-leguizamo-on-the-impact-of-his-meadowland-role-543506499970" target="_blank">This</a> is the biggest opportunity I've had as an <a href="http://boognish420.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">artist</a> and I'm proud to have handled the weight of this project with the ease everyone thinks I pulled it off with. Believe me, there were times I thought I could not finish this book, to illustrate 118 pages as soon as possible (it took me about six and a half months), but I did it with hard work and little sleep, but nevertheless with boundless enthusiasm! I'm finally a published comics artist and am proud to stand alongside all the great cartoonists of yore. I've had some published content before, but not from such an established publisher like Abrams ComicArts. Comic books motivated me to leave a small city in the southwestern USA called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmington,_New_Mexico" target="_blank">Farmington, New Mexico</a> and become a successful comic book artist in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City" target="_blank">New York City</a>, the center of the modern world and the <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-34469200" target="_blank">birthplace</a> of <a href="http://www.boweryboyshistory.com/2015/07/super-city-new-york-and-the-history-of-comic-books.html" target="_blank">comic books</a>. I did it ya'll!</div>

This book is dedicated to Seth Kushner, my friend, collaborator and master photographer who <a href="http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/05/18/inspirational-pop-culture-photographer-comic-creator-seth-kushner-has-passed-away/" target="_blank">passed</a> <a href="http://www.techtimes.com/articles/53819/20150518/seth-kushner-remember.htm" target="_blank">away</a> <a href="http://pdnpulse.pdnonline.com/2015/05/in-memoriam-environmental-portrait-photographer-seth-kushner-41.html" target="_blank">in</a> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2015/05/21/rip-seth-kushner-through-the-lens-warmly-creators-salute-the-n-y-pop-culture-artist/" target="_blank">May</a> due to cancer. I would've never worked on this book if I did not know him, let me tell you why.<br />
I started drawing <b><i>Ghetto Klown</i></b> in February and I talked to Seth about it, he strongly encouraged me to accept it and defiantly told me I was the right person for the job. He told me I've been ready to handle the sheer amount of work that this project was going to be since he first met me and saw my talent back in late 2011, where he saw a poster of my artwork promoting my successful Kickstarter project <i><b><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/346283659/man-cop-the-comic-sagaan-epic-tale-of-epic-scale" target="_blank">MAN</a></b></i> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHQFVG6eeCc" target="_blank">COP</a>, created by musical mythmaker <a href="https://twitter.com/amontiock" target="_blank">Chris Bramante</a>. Seth asked Glen Loew, the proprietor of the <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Loew's+Wine+%26+Spirits+Inc/@40.6140408,-74.0369353,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x89c24f861e1dbe17:0xc8d547e639417b7e" target="_blank">liquor store </a>where I had asked to hang the poster, who I was and told Glen to tell me to email him. I visited the liquor store often (I was still drinking alcohol then, I quit drinking after Seth's death) and befriended Glen the store owner (a comics fan himself) enough to allow me to post up a small poster about a comic book nobody knows about and hope it'd reach out to somebody, and boy did it.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I’ve met each artist on this series </i>[<i><a href="http://indyworld.com/imprints/hang-dai-editions/seth-kushner/schmuck/" target="_blank">SCHMUCK</a></i>]<i> in a different and unique way. My
meeting Shamus Beyale was complete happenstance. One afternoon last
winter I went to my local wine shop, Lowe’s Liquors, and upon entering I
notice a flyer taped to the window for something called “Man Cop.” It
caught my attention so I asked the shop owner Glen (a comics fan) what
is was about. He told me it was an ad for a comic by this kid who
frequents the shop.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>A few days later I received an email
from Shamus saying he’d heard from Glen I was interested in his work and
thought he’d say hello. We engaged in a back and fourth and I asked
him if he’d draw a SCHMUCK story for me and he happily said yes. The
next day, I offhandedly mentioned my new collaborator to my then
studio-mate cartoonist Nick Bertozzi, who promptly informed me Shamus
was recently in his class at School of Visual Arts and was one of the
most talented students he’d ever had.<b>
</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Within weeks Shamus showed me rough
layouts and he nailed it. I knew from his work that he’d get the action
elements just right, but he really surprised me with how well he handled
the subtle character moments. He captured nuance and upped the awkward
moments and tension, which are so important in this series.</i><br />
<i>Months went by, and Shamus booked gigs
and worked on these in his spare time. Every once in a while I’d wake
up to a new page in my inbox. With the benefit of time, I got to watch
Shamus grow as an artist, which was a nice and interesting thing to
witness.
</i><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>I also really appreciate Shamus’s design
for Adam Kessler, the character based upon me. When I mentioned this
to Shamus, he said, “For Adam, I decided to mix Woody Allen with
Tintin." Perfect!</i></div>

Glen told me a little about Seth and how he was taking photo portraits of comic creators for a new book he was soon to <a href="http://www.powerhousebooks.com/newsletters/111221/" target="_blank">publish</a> from <a href="http://www.powerhousebooks.com/" target="_blank">powerHouse Books</a>. It eventually became the best looking book showcasing the portraits of the greatest comic book creators of our time called <b><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Leaping-Tall-Buildings-Origins-American/dp/1576875911" target="_blank">Leaping Tall Buidlings:</a> <a href="http://www.wired.com/2012/05/leaping-tall-buildings/" target="_blank">The Origins of American Comics</a>.</i></b> The pictures were by Seth, the words were by <a href="http://www.christopherirving.com/" target="_blank">Christopher Irving</a> and it was designed by <a href="http://www.ericskillman.com/" target="_blank">Eric Skillman</a>.<br />

I was blown away, this guy has a vision. That's how I think of Seth, as a visionary. I then come to find out he was an alumni of the <a href="http://www.sva.edu/" target="_blank">School of Visual Arts</a> too, wow. SVA was established by co-founders <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silas_Rhodes" target="_blank" title="Silas Rhodes">Silas H. Rhodes</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burne_Hogarth" target="_blank" title="Burne Hogarth">Burne Hogarth</a> (I read and studied his books since I was in elementary school!) in 1947, as the <b>Cartoonists and Illustrators School</b>. The school began with three teachers and 35 students, most of whom were World War II veterans who had a large part of their tuition underwritten by U.S. government's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Bill" target="_blank" title="G.I. Bill">G.I. Bill</a>. The college was renamed the School of Visual Arts in 1956.<br />
After a few online exchanges, Seth and I agreed to meet and he asked me to visit his Brooklyn studio that he shared with other independent comic book creators. <a href="http://13thdimension.com/one-on-one-storytelling-with-nick-bertozzi-by-seth-kushner/" target="_blank">We realized we had mutual friends</a>, one being the <u>seriously</u> <a href="https://twitter.com/nickbertozzi" target="_blank">underrated</a> <a href="http://therumpus.net/2014/04/the-new-york-comics-picture-story-symposium-interview-with-nick-bertozzi/" target="_blank">Nick</a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nick-Bertozzi/e/B0043MHQWQ" target="_blank">Bertozzi</a>, one of numerous influential <a href="http://scroll.in/article/755059/five-biographies-in-graphic-novel-form-that-you-must-read" target="_blank">comics</a> <a href="http://www.brooklyndaily.com/stories/2014/23/24-grand-comics-festival-2014-06-06-bk_2014_23.html" target="_blank">teachers</a> from the <a href="http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=720961" target="_blank">School of Visual Arts</a>.<br />

I also worked with Nick after he reached out to me to help him on several pages from the deep, poignant, epic and emotional journey that is the graphic novel <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1596435755/ref=rdr_ext_tmb" target="_blank"><i><b>Jerusalem</b>: <b>A Family Portrait</b></i></a> (I get a credit at the end).<br />

I immediately knew Seth was a nerd, what I didn't know was he was a Brooklyn Jewish nerd.</div>

Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.29% of the population. About 38.3% of families and 39.2% of the population were below the <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_line" target="_blank" title="Poverty line">poverty line</a>, including 43.2% of those under age 18 and 47.5% of those age 65 or over.<br />
I lived in an old mobile home out in the desert, about a dozen miles outside Farmington's city limits and over thirty miles east of Shiprock, with no running water or electricity, with my parents and three siblings. Both my parents are accomplished artists themselves; I grew up with my mother's beadwork and my father's artwork.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><i>High School Years</i></span><br />
<br />
I read my comics and did my drawings by <a href="http://www.goalzero.com/solarlife/2014/04/02/northern-navajo-nation-solar-project/" target="_blank">kerosene lamp</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk8Rm9EsET4" target="_blank">hauled water weekly from town</a> (a recent <a href="https://vimeo.com/139088508" target="_blank">disaster</a> broke my heart where the rivers that run through my hometown were <a href="http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2015/9/17/disaster-navajo-doubts-over-pollution-linger.html" target="_blank">afflicted</a>) and cooked with a propane stove into my high school years, when I finally graduated in 2004 with high marks and was able to attain a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gates_Millennium_Scholars" target="_blank">Gates Millennium</a> Scholarship (Thank you, <a href="http://www.gatesfoundation.org/" target="_blank">Bill and Melinda Gates</a>. Sorry, but I've grown up with <a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b4/Apple_iie.jpg" target="_blank">Macs</a>) and was able to choose any college nationwide that I wanted to attend (my fellow Native bro <a href="https://instagram.com/kanonigan/" target="_blank">Kannon</a> earned one too!).<br />
My guidance counselor, Mrs. Sandoval, wanted me to attend <a href="http://www.harvard.edu/" target="_blank">Harvard University</a> (being <span class="st">Diné herself,<i> </i></span>she REALLY wanted to have sent a Navajo there), she had the Ivy League school send me a package basically saying I was accepted.<br />
I chose SVA because my art teacher at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FMSNM.FHS" target="_blank">Farmington High School</a>, Sherri Smith, showed me a brochure for some art school in NYC that taught comics, a dream job if there ever was one. I thought I'd end up at <a href="https://www.sanjuancollege.edu/" target="_blank">San Juan College</a> at worst or <a href="http://www.unm.edu/" target="_blank">University of New Mexico</a> at best. I should've went to <a href="https://www.hms.harvard.edu/dms/neuroscience/careers/biotech.html" target="_blank">Harvard</a> and studied <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotechnology" target="_blank">biotechnology</a> (to fight diseases like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer" target="_blank">cancer</a>) or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics" target="_blank">mathematics</a> (I loved <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus" target="_blank">calculus</a>).<br />

I've only known the <a href="http://navajopeople.org/" target="_blank">Navajo culture</a> I was raised in (<a href="http://navajocodetalkers.org/story-of-the-navajo-code-talkers/" target="_blank">we helped the nation</a>) and moving to NYC for college back in 2004 until I graduated in 2008 was the biggest culture shock for me. I lived in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holmdel_Township,_New_Jersey" target="_blank">Holmdel, NJ</a> for almost two years after I graduated SVA. I worked at Xtreme Comfort Inc, where I installed and maintained <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVAC" target="_blank">heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems</a> in residential and commercial areas around middle New Jersey. My cartooning colleague, peer, and best man at my wedding <a href="https://instagram.com/st4ludicrous/" target="_blank">Scott Costello</a>
and his family allowed me to stay at their home in order for me to
start my Northeast roots where I eventually met my beautiful wife Jackie (whose family accepted me with loving, open arms), thanks <a href="http://st4ludicrous.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">Scooter</a>!<br />
I didn't know much about Jewish humor but having lived at opposite ends of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooklyn" target="_blank">Brooklyn</a> (I lived in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_St._George" target="_blank">Hotel St. George</a> in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooklyn_Heights" target="_blank">Brooklyn Heights</a> for my junior and senior year of college and in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_Ridge,_Brooklyn" target="_blank">Bay Ridge</a> for five years now) I'm slowly beginning to understand it more. Seth helped me see that.<br />
Seth <a href="http://sethkushner.blogspot.com/2008/03/new-project.html" target="_blank"><u>LOVED</u></a> comic books, whose origins were made by the drawing hands of many Jewish creators who hid the fact they even were; <a href="http://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/jews-in-comic-books/" target="_blank">yet comic books would not exist if not for the Jewish sensibilities that created it</a>. My comic artwork caught Seth's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photography" target="_blank">photographic</a> eye, that's the most important thing that has happened to me, his vision saw my talent and he believed in me enough to want to let everyone know who I am even though we kept our collaborations mostly quiet (to keep away from the internet free-for-all). He is a visionary, please remember.<br />

A Native American rez boy who grew up in poverty met a Brooklyn photography nerd and connected enough to want to collaborate and create words and
pictures for the world to see. That is why I got into comic books, it's a universal language. Seth and I then worked on several stories that we were trying to pitch to publishers with no luck, all while doing each's own "<a href="http://shamusbeyale.blogspot.com/2013/10/storyboards.html" target="_blank">day</a> <a href="http://www.nystoryboards.com/story/shamus/" target="_blank">job</a>".<br />
Before he passed, we collaborated on a new superhero story Seth had envisioned would be our <a href="https://instagram.com/p/yqHbxiAgSj/" target="_blank">ticket to success</a>. I <a href="http://www.forcesofgeek.com/2015/05/seth-kushers-secret-sauce-comix-vol-1.html" target="_blank">drew</a> four pages and two faux covers for this comic called <b><i>The Brooklynite</i></b> and the story was titled <b><i>A Man of his Word</i></b>, which was in Seth's anthology comic <a href="http://www.comicsbeat.com/back-from-the-brink-seth-kushners-secret-sauce/" target="_blank"><b><i>Secret Sauce Comix Vol.1</i></b></a> which he put together after he thought his battle with cancer was won.

I started drawing <i><b>Ghetto Klown</b></i> with Seth's fervent encouragement and he saw the first few pages I did, he was elated! That was my favorite thing, showing him new artwork because he would gush and praise my work to no end.<br />
If people can recognize Johnny Legs through my drawings, then I did the
most difficult part of this project, getting the likenesses down, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx9ilWs-6oc" target="_blank">not many artists can do that</a>. <br />
I only lived in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn for over a year before I hung up that poster in the window of that liquor store that caught the eye of the greatest photographer I know. He understood the struggle of being a successful comic book creator, to have sufficient time to do one's work, because he wanted to be one too and steeped himself in the creative process of making comics with each artist that he worked with. He was most proud of his work Seth Kushner's <b><i>CulturePOP Photocomi</i></b>x, his <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photonovel" target="_blank">fumetti comic</a> series that he had full control over. My favorite one is about Reggie Watts, another artist I'm fascinated with and was surprised to know that Seth hung out with him.<br />

Read my previous <a href="http://shamusbeyale.blogspot.com/2013/06/schmuck.html" target="_blank">post</a> to see what I said then. He learned he had cancer after <a href="http://sethkushner.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">he raised the money</a> to print and independently publish <b><i>SCHMUCK</i></b> through <a href="http://hangdaieditions.com/" target="_blank">HANG DAI Editions</a> and have it distributed by <a href="http://indyworld.com/imprints/hang-dai-editions/seth-kushner/schmuck/" target="_blank">Alternative Comics</a>, a huge achievement he couldn't celebrate.<br />
<br />
In the morning of April 22, 2014 (a day before my birthday) he emailed me this: <br />
<br />
<i>Shamus,<br />This isn't easy to write, but I want you to know what's happening. My flu wasn't getting better so Terra took me to </i>[the] <i>hospital on Saturday, where I was diagnosed with leukemia. I begin chemo today and will be in </i>[the]<i> hospital for several weeks. This is all really fucking scary, but I will beat it.</i><br />
<i>I plan to return to our project </i>(called <i>The Climb</i>, we had 4 issues planned and laid out, hoping for a longer series)<i> after I'm back on my feet. You're a great collaborator and I plan to get us published. After I get through this, anything, including selling a project, will be a piece of cake.</i><br />
<i>I'll talk to you soon. </i><br />

Yet, his family, all his countless friends and I were in awe to see Seth's fight with cancer, he did more work than most comic creators do in a lifetime while wearing a hospital gown. He was writing stories for the future, he knew he NEEDED to.<br />
I finished drawing <i><b>Ghetto Klown</b></i> over three months after Seth died on May 17, 2015. I'll never be able to see the reaction that he would've had after I shared this book with him.<br />
I also regret not having my portrait taken by him, he owed me after I drew his story <b><i>The One</i></b> for <i><b>SCHMUCK</b></i> and told me he would do a photo session with me but our schedules never worked out and I didn't push it while he battled cancer. Maybe I should've.</div>

I love that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Spiegelman" target="_blank"><b>Art Spiegelman</b></a>'s signature sits atop Seth's message.<br />

This is from Seth's biography page in <b><i>Leaping Tall Buildings: The Origins of American Comics</i></b>:<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Seth Kushner's</b> portrait photography has appeared in <i>The New York Times Magazine</i>, <i>Time</i>, <i>Newsweek</i>, <i>L'Uomo Vogue</i>, <i>The New Yorker</i> and others. He was chosen by <i>Photo District News</i> magazine as one of their 30 under 30 in 1999 and is a two-time winner of their Photo Annual Competition. Seth's first book, <a href="http://www.powerhousebooks.com/books/the-brooklynites/" target="_blank"><i>The Brooklynites</i></a>,
(with Anthony LaSala) was published by powerHouse Books in 2007.
Currently, Seth is working on CulturePOP Photocomix, and profiling
real-life characters on ACT-I-VATE.com and WelcomeToTripCity.com. Seth
resides in his hometown of Brooklyn, New York with his wife, son and way
too many cameras and comics.</i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>For my dad, who gave me my first comic book. My mom, for storing my collection. My wife for putting up with my Wednesday shopping sprees. My son, who will someday inherit it all...and hopefully organize them. And, to all of the above for their continued love and support.</i></div>

I love dinosaurs and have always been in awe of the fossils they left behind. The names of dinosaurs are ancient Greek based, so I liked the translation and skull combination of this design I put together.<br />

Here's a Star Wars illustration I did for fun, showing the new villain from the upcoming The Force Awakens film, Kylo Ren. I digitally inked this in Adobe Photoshop and hope to color it soon.</div>

Here are two kung fu inspired illustrations I put together in Adobe Photoshop to use as t-shirt designs. I love martial arts movies and philosophy, it's an inspiration in controlling mind and body.

My former college roommate for four years has gone into the reptile food business and wanted some logos for his company called <a href="http://www.reptiledeli.com/" target="_blank">Reptile Deli Inc</a>. Here are the logos I put together in Adobe Photoshop for some of the products the company offers, mainly frozen rats and mice along with some bugs. The Reptile Deli Inc. logo was put together in Adobe Illustrator.<br />

Here's another comic book pitch I helped out on about a modern day interpretation of Dracula, aka Vlad Tepes. it's written by two writers, <a href="https://twitter.com/Furunati" target="_blank">Bryan Furuness</a> and <a href="http://andrewscottonline.com/" target="_blank">Andrew Scott</a>. I did 7 comic pages and a couple character designs, which we've been shopping around. I drew these pages digitally in Manga Studio EX 4 and lettered them in Adobe Illustrator.<br />
Here's a synopsis: <i>Wastelands is a cross between Dracula and Apocalypse Now. Captain Harker and a small team travel upcountry to assassinate Dracula, a bin Laden figure who orchestrated terrorist attacks on American soil that killed Harker's fiancee, Mina, and thousands of other civilians a decade earlier. General Van Helsing taps Harker as the man to infiltrate the castle and end the 10-year war, but the mission is complicated when Harker discovers that Mina was turned into a vampire. The story is about 9/11, the War on Terror, what our country has done and what we're becoming—but it's also just a good story about vampires and vengeance.</i><br />

Here are storyboards I did for <a href="http://www.deliriofilms.com/" target="_blank">Delirio Films</a> showcasing the new Captain Morgan shot focused liquor, to contend with Fireball whisky I guess, called Cannon Blast. The bottle is shaped after a cannon ball, which looks cool, I have yet to see any of the commercials though. Enjoy, it's Shot O' Clock, lol.</div>

I've been working on a comic book pitch with writer <a href="http://swifty-lang.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Swifty Lang</a> called <i>STRAPPED </i>(originally called <i>The Surrogate)</i>. It's about a surrogate mother who goes on the run. It takes place in Miami and I decided to give the comic a faded textured look to give it a grindhouse tone befitting of the story's thriller atmosphere.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the cover, page 1, some panels, and a title splash page I put together for the pitch, which is actually 7 pages long plus the cover.<br />

Here's a panel from a potential comic book I'm currently collaborating on called <i>The Surrogate</i> with writer <a href="http://swifty-lang.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Jon "Swifty" Lang</a>. We're in the very beginning of putting together a pitch consisting of several pages. I'm doing the pencils, inks, colors, and lettering for the project. I've always enjoyed all aspects of comic book creation and have strove to excel in all the various crafts that go into a fully colored and lettered page. It takes time to get all the elements together for a comic, but it's the art form I enjoy creating most. This is just one panel, the top third to the first page, an establishing shot of the Miami location used in the book. We hope to share more of this project in the future.</div>

Here are storyboards I did for IKA Collective, a commercial spot for the Science Channel. These were done in Photoshop and I went with a more painterly approach.</div>

<br />
Here's the beginning rough for an Alita fan art piece I'm doing. It begins with finding a reference photo, I wanted something to do with Alita's martial art background and chose a muay thai photo I found online. Using it as a basis for the figure, I sketch out forms and adjust the limbs and head.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, I'll render out the details more and start on the background in grayscale before I tackle coloring the piece.<br />

Here's a quick sketch (2-ish hours) of a Zomborg, something I thought sounded cool. This is just an initial breakdown, I hope to update this post as I work along to tighten up the rendering. I like to work from dark to light, so I'm working on the shadows first then will tackle doing the highlights. I've been trying to expand my digital painting skills and I hope random sketches like this will become more prominent in my blog as I practice more.</div>

<i>Please <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYUgpP7KeeU" target="_blank">watch</a> this <a href="https://vimeo.com/126847004" target="_blank">VIDEO</a> first, directed by <a href="https://vimeo.com/user2455240" target="_blank">Forrest McClain</a>.</i><br />
<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Angel_Alita" target="_blank"><i>Battle Angel Alita</i></a> is a manga (japanese comic book) produced by Yukito Kishiro and is my favorite comic. The detailed artwork and sci-fi storyline has greatly influenced my own art and person. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic future where androids, cyborgs and robots are commonplace. The main character is named Alita, a cyborg whose memories are gone and is discovered in a junkyard by a cybernetics doctor named Ido who rebuilds her. The storyline is about her attempts to rediscover her past, along the way fighting foes with the only memory of her past, her mastery of the cyborg martial art <a href="http://battleangel.wikia.com/wiki/Panzer_Kunst" target="_blank">Panzer Kunst</a>. She first becomes a bounty hunter, then a motor ball player (think speed skating gladiators), and eventually a messiah in the second series <i>Battle Angel Alita: Last Order</i>. James Cameron currently owns the film rights, which I was ecstatic for, but he's decided to focus on the Avatar sequels instead (which I don't mind). He's my favorite filmmaker, so my fingers are crossed he'll still do it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I've been contacted to work on a fan project for Alita, a live action production for a possible web series. I jumped at the chance since Alita is such a strong influence in my life and here are storyboards for the initial short film. We hoped to used these boards to build up interest in the possible web series. I decided to fully render them in a more digital painting style.</div>

Below are some storyboards I did for VOX Media showcasing a commercial about the Sony Playstation store. This has a split shot effect throughout, showing two different personalities utilizing the Sony Entertainment Network store. These were done in Adobe Photoshop.<br />

Here are storyboards for a commercial promoting ID's show <i>Deadline Crime </i>with Tamron Hall. Here's an example of changes throughout the pre production of this spot. The beginning boards show the initial idea for the commercial, a piece focusing on transitions, but then the spot was cut down to something simple inter cut with video from the show.</div>
