Man Cop #1 cover!

Here is the cover to the first issue of Man Cop! A self-published work that I helped my friend Chris Bramante, a self-proclaimed mythmaker (and writer of Man Cop), put together in hopes of spreading the legend that is Man Cop. I had slowly worked through this first issue (all 20 pages of it), in over a year, painstakingly pencilling, inking & lettering it with all my passionate artistic fervor. It is finally of to be printed for its first run. Check out www.mancop.com for further news and preview the world of Man Cop.

"I Killed Jessica Again" Book Cover Illustration

Here's another cover I drew and colored for Stranghouse Books, for an anthology of short stories.

This is based on a story titled 'I Killed Jessica Again' by Kevin Strange, and is about a dead girlfriend who is resurrected by cult zombies in an alternate dimension. That alone made me want to draw this, lol! I drew this digitally in Manga Studio EX 4 and colored in Adobe Photoshop CS3.

This is the tonal sketch I put together for the client to approve. I was told to change the position of her left arm, which I think helps out. It makes for a stronger silhouette of Jessica rising from the reanimating fluid.

"Strange Sex: A Strange Anthology"

A cover I illustrated for a book of short prose stories for an independent publishing company called StrangeHouse books. You can find their Facebook page HERE! This book will be coming out within a few months and you'll be able to order from them online, that is if you like strange stories about strange sex. This illustration was  traditional penciled and inked on 11x17 bristol board and colored in Adobe Photoshop.

Below is my rough tonal sketch that was approved to base the final illustration on.

Zenescope Entertainment Presents Spike TV's "1000 Ways to Die" Graphic Novel

These pages were a part of a collection of short stories based on the t.v. show "1000 Ways to Die". The title for the story I worked on was called "Pumpkin Die" and features rednecks and a pumpkin cannon. This is the first foray into the graphic novel medium for this t.v. show's concept. I drew these pages entirely in Adobe Photoshop, before I found Manga Studio, but both software programs are amazing for drawing on the computer. You can buy the book for your self at Amazon.com or Barnes&Noble.com at the highlighted links.

Grimm Fairy Tales: Giant Size 2011 Sinbad Crossover #03

Below are pages from the issue I helped out on for Zenescope Entertainment's Grimm Fairy Tales: Giant Size 2011 Sinbad Crossover #03. I drew these pages entirely on the computer, using Manga Studio EX 4, which is an amazing program. I was one of two artists who drew the issue, which you should be able to purchase at your local comic shop!

Nigh of the Tentacles Movie Poster!

Here's a movie poster I did for an independent film called Night of the Tentacles. You can find the facebook page here!

This is my grindhouse version of the poster. I've always wanted to see if I could do something in this style because I do love good bad movies of that era.

This is the normal version of the poster. This was drawn digitally in Manga Studio EX 4 and then colored in Adobe Photoshop.

Here's my initial gray tone rough that I based the final image on. I do this to help me envision my light sources and composition of the piece.

You can check out the director of the movie's website, Dustin Mills, here.

Galerians T-Shirt Design Contest Entry

Here's my entry to a t-shirt design contest based on a PS1 video game called Galerians.

It was part of a internet video show called Super Replay, run by GameInformer, wherein they finish a game to completion while recording themselves talk about the game. This particular game was about 9 hours long. I enjoy watching their videos and I decided to enter their t-shirt design contest, which they have after beating the game. I haven't seen them announce a winner, so my fingers are crossed. You can check out this link to see the Super Replay: LINK
