GPF Portrait (It's been a while)

Hi guys, it's been a really long time. I have been super busy with actually taking on a few projects and have been working on drawing a lot, so I have been a little bit more selective about what I have been posting and instead I have been working on doing lots and lots of drawing..lots and lots and lots of drawing. However I figured that I should post something every once in a while, so here is a recent portrait that I did for a friend of mine. (He also actually got married yesterday too. So I figured that this would be an appropriate posting). 'Til next time.

Space Ghost Calls it quits....

I like to pretend that one day The Space Ghost decided that flying around the cosmos hunting down bad guys was some b.s. and decided to quit. He did some stints on various sitcoms and tv shows in the late 80's and 90's. He then finally landed a gig as a talk show host on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network (Space Ghost Coast to Coast). Congrats Space Ghost!!!!!

Street Fighter 25 Submission: Update!!

So Street Fighter is turning 25 (25th Anniversary!) and as a result Capcom is having a Street Fighter 25th anniversary contest where your art work can be featured. So I of course submitted work for it.
The two themes behind the contest were "I am a Street Fighter" or "Street Fighter 25". So I went with the former for this one. I actually did it as an illustration first, but then decided to re-do it as a painting, because I realized that I had more time. Which was cool, so I was able to take my time and do a proper painting. As always, there are some things that I think worked for this, but as always anatomy continues to be a challenge. So, I will definitely be working on that.
At any rate, on to the next!

Update*****
I recently found out that my submission was accepted to the Street Fighter 25h Anniversary tribute book. I am super excited about this, and I wasn't even sure that I liked this piece. Woo hoo!!!!

MOCCA 2012 Wrap Up!

So another year has come and gone for MOCCA fest, and it was a good one. I caught up with a lot of folks that I met last year. The first day started slowly, but then after a while it picked up pretty quickly, and I sold a few books. The funny part is that because of the theme of the book, a lot of people didn't know about a lot of the more obscure games in the book. However no matter, MOCCA fest 2012 was fun, and I am already thinking about what to do for next year (maybe Saturday morning cartoons? I dunno.) Most of the days were spent trying to sell books, networking with other artists looking at some great stuff, and basically enjoying the show. While I wasn't selling, I also got in a lot of sketch practice on the spot. All in all it was a great time. Now, back to business.

Six Million Dollar Man and Sasquatch and MoCCA fest.

Ok so  back in the day I was obsessed with the Six Million Dollar man. There was one episode where he met up with a bionic Sasquatch (this is awesome classic tv people...and you can't beat that). 

This one was actually a sketch that I did when I first started this blog way back when. I def. like to go back to earlier things that I have  done and try to improve upon them. So, here it is. The Bionic Man and Sasquatch. It's a weird obscure thing to paint and post I know. Now that it's done I can move on.

In other news, I finally sent off my book to be printed for Mocca fest (woot!). Tonight I am going to pick up the redesigned banner, and that's all that she wrote. I should then be ready for the show next week. I will do a post show wrap up after the show is done. I am pretty excited to network and meet new (fellow) solo artists.

I have also submitted an application to be a part of the Asbury Park Comic con. Last year I wanted to do more than one, so  I am gonna try for two this year, esp if I have all of the work done already (re: book and banner)

Stay tuned for a pre-show and post show wrap up!

Lord Krang (and other news)

First off....I am happy to say that the MOCCA fest book is over and done with. * Bit 80's has gone off to the printer and although I am sure that there will be some edits needed, hopefully I will have sent it early enough to avoid any last minute rushing and stress (unlike last year).
I also managed to send out the banner too, so that should be arriving hopefully this week, and as long as I did everything right, then I should be all set for MOCCA. I was going to get started on the next volume, which was to be even MORE Nintendo games, but I am thinking that I might instead Saturday morning cartoons instead? Not too sure, the verdict is still out on that one.

I am off posting by a week (not that I need to post EVERY week, but I try). So this week I have a little "Lord Krang" action for you (from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). If I decide to do the Saturday Morning cartoon book, then this one is def. going in it. Have a good one!
