ENDLESS TERROR

this sort of just in, I will be doing a piece for Blade Runner Press. It is for an RPG called Endless Terror

Here is a little preview:

A SAWMILLS HOPE, kickstarter book project

This is the project I have been mentioning lately, and a good one it is. When the author David List, contacted me about doing the illustrations for this, and asked if I would be interested reading the book to see what we could do, I was totally floored and amazed that I started sketching off the first page, that usually doesn't happen. It is normally several pages into the story before I honestly get an image, last time it happened, I believe I was reading Michael Moorcocks first Elric novel.

Well we talked and came to an agreement, so with the help of everyone out there.......we can get this book, this WORLD that David has created  off the ground. There are lots of goodies with this kickstarter  project, so please stop by, give a look and join in.

these are just a few of the roughs and pencils for this book, it will be fully illustrated with 23 inked images, and I will post a few of those shortly.

NEW PROJECT.............

O.K.,......

been a bit since I have posted anything, but am happy to announce at this point I will be working on a new project. It is a new book coming out soon with 23 illustrations from yours truly as well as a kickstarter thing with lots of cool stuff to be had from roughs to originals from the book..........but more on all that as the time nears.

But here is a few peaks at some of the roughs and the first of the finished pieces.......

I will be back very shortly with more info as well as a link to the authors blog.

END OF THE YEAR CLEAN UP

This rather cluttered picture is of my drawing table,and  although I wish I could claim to be this productive on a daily basis, these scattered images are the culmination of personal projects I have started and had to stop and or start again due in large part to other more pressing matters.

I tend to stop working on commissions during the last part of November and all thru December, the holidays are so close together and family time is in all honesty more important, but during this time I also try to clean up a few things that lay about for the year ( or 2 in the case of the Batman, Green Lantern and hidden Superman inks ).

Along with the 3 new Hippie Chicks I posted this morning..... yeah I know, I will go for a bit with out posting anything then here today are 2 .............. I have completed 3 other inks, and a cartoon for the Naughty Bits collection. I will post the 3rd of the 3 inks tomorrow since my computer is refusing to recognize my scanner today after scanning 6 images earlier, and the ink is a bit large and I do have to paste it together............it is the cavemen drawing in the top right hand side.

CEREMONY

 SHE WOLF

YES!!!   

Well that is all for now, if the computer and scanner make amends, I will get the other one scanned and posted as well as any other things I manage to finish during this time............there are maybe 4 oils I would like to get back to as well.....................

George Lasso's the Moon

This image goes along with the last post of Stick People, in which I sort of discussed how I arrived at the figure and posturing of George.

This image was done for our local theatre group the RUSH COUNTY PLAYERS 2011 production of IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. This was a really fun thing for me to do especially since this is my favourite of all time Christmas movies, and not to mention I have ALWAYS wanted to do a drawing of this as well. So for me it is a wonderful life, I got to do something for a great group of folks as well as one of my favourite images.............not too bad!!!

THIS JUST IN......A Nights Horror by Timothy Ray Jones

Awhile back I posted a painting in the post called Candle Cover and it was basically the picture of the painting and saying that I would post about it later......................


.................well its later.............


Author and friend Timothy Ray Jones has put his newest works up on Lulu for all the world to see, buy and thoroughly enjoy.

Monsters, monsters everywhere! Is it ever safe to come outside at night? You will ask that very question when you delve into the Horror stories within -- and more. Will Marge ever free herself from childhood fears by facing down an old...friend? How will Jonathan react when the truth he seeks is revealed? Can Irvin find solace in the arms of the new woman of his dreams? The answer to these questions and more await you. Do step inside to find them... 

I do hope ya'll will stop buy and pick up a copy or two today

CANDLE COVER

Here is the latest thing off the easel for now, it is a  commission for a project that I will post about later, but for now, here is the painting.

COVER UP

Here is a little preview of a recent comission that I am currently finishing up. After this one I will be back on a Conan that I have been dying to finish.

A LITTLE UPDATE AND IN THE WORKS

This is just a little heads up for what is coming up in the near future.

There will be a new Conan piece coming out shortly, it will be the best one I have done so far, and is based on Beyond the Black River.

I am currently working on a comission for a bookcover that will be released later this year.

I am also currently working on the next ArtOrder challenge.....MUTATION NATION.

We are still waiting on the dates and location for the BEAUTIFUL GRIM artshow and auction, as soon as that is available I will be posting it here as well.

Well that is about it for now.

continuing with the Dental work

Just a little update on the progress of the most recent comission. The original pencil for this can be seen here . I have been having a blast with this one and will honestly be sad to see it go, but am glad to know it will have a good home when it is finished.

WIP'ed out...........St G. and the Dragon parody completed

Just finished as we speak. ....now  on to the next one.....which is a painting my dentists kids as barbarian/pirates in the mode of my Childhood Memories Series.

A LITTLE DENTAL WORK

As I am  finishing up one commssion, I am in the process of starting another as well. Here is a preview of the latest painting I will be doing, it is also the first of its kind..............one of my CHILDHOOD MEMORIES series images, but done in oils, all the others are in watercolour and a sepia toned ink.
