Here's something fun I threw together this weekend. I'm thinking this might look pretty sweet on that red paper I just ordered. hhmmmmmm...
Here is the original inked artwork
Blockage
So I'm having some troubles trying to figure out what to do for my third print. I drew this up today, but I think I need to keep looking for something else.
Hellboy
Hi guys and gals! Here is my second new piece for the upcoming Albuquerque Comic Expo. I've always really liked Hellboy and his wacky adventures so I wanted to make sure I did him justice. This piece will be a four color print on red paper, slightly larger than all of my previous prints. And of course in honor of exclusivity I'm gonna keep the print count super low like the TMNT print. I also wanted to post some of my process pics to give you a peek inside my drawing process.
First I do several thumbnail sketches to get a feel for the proper pose and proportions.
Next I try to flesh out my concept and really get a feel for the final piece. Usually I will draw a piece two or three times before I really get what I want. After I achieve what I am looking for I move on to the nicer paper and re-draw the image with a non photo blue pencil so you cant see the pencil lines when I scan it into the computer.
A few hours later and TA DA here is the piece all inked up. I use a brush pen for the outlines, once that is done I uses several fine tip ink pens to really step up the detail.
From here I scan the piece and start visualizing composition and a color pallet. Sometimes a major portion of the final print is composed digitally using a Wacom pen tablet. And here you have the final piece, thanks for stoping by...
TMNT
Here is my first piece for the upcoming Albuquerque Comic Expo. The shading took FOREVER to render. Also This will be my first 6 color screen print, kinda nervous about that. I'm gonna do very limited runs of my comic expo pieces, Probably 20.

I'll let you guys know ASAP where our table is gonna be located so you can stop by. And to get you a lil amped up here is a sneak peek of what I am working on.

Gig Posters Exhibition!
OK guys I know this is Easter Sunday, but here's the scoop. Jon Sanchez and myself are showing our gig posters at the Blackbird for the month of April. Unfortunately the opening night is on Easter Sunday. If you can find the time, or need to get out of the house please come and see us. We are gonna have live music by Billy Bellmont and a second act featuring Chan Avery & Albert Vasquez. The Black Bird has AWESOME food, and delicious micro brew beer. I realize the date of this opening isn't ideal for most people, but we would love it if you could make it and show us your support. If not please stop by anytime in the month of April for lunch or dinner and check out our screen printed posters.
