Proof

Alex Grecian was nice enough to let me do a pin up for the upcoming Proof TPB (Image comics). If you haven't picked up Proof, do. It's a pretty fantastic read.

The Penguin

I did this sketch at the Free State Free Con a few weeks ago. I kind of liked it, and asked the guy to email me a scan. And so he did, and here it is. Also, this was the first time I had ever drawn the Penguin... odd to realize there are tons of classic comics characters that I have never tried to draw.

Illustrations for the Faith section...

It's pretty ironic that I, unrepentant atheist, am in charge of designing the Faith section of the KC Star*. I suppose it keeps me unbiased, as I do not favor any one religious philosophy over another—I think they're all bunkum. What's nice about working on this section is that oftentimes the stories are abstract enough, that they require illustrations rather than photos. Here's the last two.

*actually, let me revise that. You know what's REALLY ironic? That a newspaper, which ostensibly reports facts to the public, has a religion section, which reports on belief systems devoid of any provable evidence (the very definition of "faith") but it does not have a Science & Technology section that would report on scientific news and advances... you know, science... that ol' thang that gave us the scientific method and the very notion of what constitutes a fact.

ok, rant over. at least i get to draw pretty pictures.

Where were we?

Roller Derby poster

And here it is, the most recent poster I did for the KC Roller Warriors.... I like this ok. I think I did it in too many sittings, never had quite the time to dedicate a good long uninterrupted chunk of time to it... so I it feels a little disjointed and overworked. I don't hate it, but it ain't going on my gravestone either...

Them roller girls are hawt though...

FINAL FOXYMORON (FOR THE STAR)

I'll start posting new weekly Foxymoron's soon.

Mural

So I have not posted anything in a while because I have been crazy busy. Mostly with newspaper work that isn't worth posting. (It's what happens when you lay off half the art department. It's been a while since I've had time to do an illustration I could actually be proud of).
BUT I did do a fairly large thing, for a show that opened on First Friday of April. A big ass, 4 ft. by 13 ft mural. It was part of a larger mural, exquisite corpse style. A bunch of Chicago artists and a bunch of KC artists got panels. And then we painted them and got together to assemble them. Josh was gonna be part of this but he pussied out.

We were supposed to work on them so more live during the opening, butin the end no one was up to it. I'm hoping some of the other artists will step up for the next First Friday, as I was looking forward to the live art aspect... and my mural still needs some work.

Anyway, these are processs pics. The mural is outisde Leedy Voulkos until the end of May. At which point I will have to figure out what to do with two 4 ft x 6.5 ft paintings. (yup, it's two panels, stacked.)

Anyways, dig it.

This was the first sketch.

The second sketch...

And the finished monster.

installed with all the other ones...

Driven By Lemons, Etc.

Lemons is complete. So is March Hare. I've just been too busy to scan anything in. Probably won't post any more pages from Lemons, at least not until closer to release time in September. Send all complaints to Travis. (This is the cover for Lemons, by the way).
