Illustration Friday: Island

I usually don't stretch for meanings but I've been really busy lately (see previous post) and everyone else does it. This was drawn while I was on an island, soooo...enjoy!

I've been busy!!

So I was recently hired by an educational publishing company to do some illustrations for their online assessment department so I haven't had much time to blog. Sorry I can't show you those images, they are tippity-top secret. But I also just recently had another cover published with the Monterey Weekly. The co-editor/art director and I tossed around some ideas out about an article detailing more Wal-Mart controversy in Soledad, CA and the result was this image. I like the guy a lot in fact he reminds me a little of my amazing, hairy-armed, mustach-ioed, dad. Since the only people that read this are my folks and maybe my brother, I thought I'd mention one of you and also show you what your boy, or in the case of my brother, "your boyieee!" is up to.

Later,

Appaloosa

Two of my favorite actors, Ed Harris and Viggo, reunite in a Western called, "Appaloosa." How could this not be a great thing.

If anyone out there would like to use this awesome illustration for their publication(s), feel free to contact me, I'm pretty cheap.

Illustration Friday: Routine

If he's going to appeal to wider audiences he's gonna have to work on his routine. I like drawing Batman.

My first editorial illustration gig!!

Yeah me! Using my blog and website as a tool I showed one of the editors at the local, free, weekly, newspaper, my work and they called me up to do some work for them, for money!!

It's back to school time and internet networking and wild partying are on the minds of the millennials eager to start college.

So The Monterey Weekly ( http://www.montereycountyweekly.com/) decided to do a couple stories. One about the "Do's and Don'ts" of social networking Internet sites like Facebook and Myspace and the other is about local hang out joints and the folks that frequent them.

Above are two Dont's. Taking the cliche flattering, cleavage and "emo"-make-up-infused-selfotograph for instance or incriminating images of yourself with underage girls. Below are three images of the folks you may find at our local joints.

Illustration Friday: Sail

"With adventure in his heart and the wind at his back Luke sailed over the fields in search of his next quest.” An excerpt from an imaginary book, I’m not writing. Till next Friday.

Illustration Friday: Poof

He's kinda of a Gimli-esque, Galdalf-y wizard. "Poof!"
