With this series, I decided to combine screen printing with other media in order to produce a number of unique peices that used the same image in different ways. To make them, I essentially just screened a bunch of images of the lone ranger and various animals pulled from an old coloring book. I then went back in with marker, ink, watercolor and gouache to put our hero in silly situations. Overall I think this was one of the most satisfying projects and I’m glad to add screenprints to my arsenal. More prints on the way!

Finally here are some more finished images of the super hero illustrations I was promising in previous posts.

My superhero drawing from a while back has been getting a bunch of hits lately, so here’s another update from the mock superhero illustrations I started last semester. These two characters are sort of a spoof of Hellboy, a comic I’m a big fan of. The idea is that they’re a team-up of the “green fairy” often associated with Absinthe and a personification of the Red Bull of energy drink fame. These are still just photos of unfinished versions, so keep checking back for more updates.

If you’re like me, you can’t live without a decent sketchbook. I use mine all the time and can’t help but save every single drawing or scrap of paper I have ever used. Who knows? That random doodle could inspire a masterpiece someday. Or at least make a good photoshop brush or texture.
Because of this, I decided to start a new weekly segment in which I unlock the sketchbook vault and post a particularly weird/cool/funny page of an old sketchbook. Enjoy!

Just added a painting gallery as one of my pages. It also has an artist’s statement to give a better sense of how I make my work and what my goals are. All of the paintings shown are from 2007-2008
The Mega Dude Squad blog is up and running! MDS is a comic strip I created this past year along with co-author Stephen Guzzetta. We had a year-long run in the Daily Cardinal, one of two daily student newspapers at the University of Wisconsin. I’m going to post one at a time, re-tooled and streamlined versions of each of our comics starting from the very beginning. (more…)
I posted a new page today: The Drawing Gallery. I’m trying to take advantage of WordPress’s new gallery utility. All of ‘em are from 2007-2008. The one above is one of my favs.
