Just threw this down.

Anyways, I moved from Portland, OR to Connecticut.

Lots of plans and stuff to explain, but not now!

The girlfriend asked me to do something with her tastes in mind, but in my own style, as something that would make a good tattoo, so here it is.

Drawn and then colored digitally.

Sitting on lots more art over here, new scanner is just sort of crappy.

Sometimes I like to pretend that the little demonic impish fairies I conjure up in my art are djinn that I have captured, not in a bottle, but in 2D.

They often feel like conflicted creatures, enlightened, but struggling with it as a burden upon their burning desires.

This was sketched automatically for the most part, for those of you who are interested in the whole Spare process. Sketched, inked, water colored, a little color penciling, and there you have it. Around letter size on bristol board.

I will sell this for the cost of a scanner, but really I would like to trade for one and save the trouble of shopping.

This piece has magickal power, and if you hang it up, its will increase your libido tenfold. If your libido is already awesome it will probably make you rich instead.

I’m a wizard, mind you.

Quick and dirty upload of something I’m working on. I’ve been inspired by the tribal peoples in the regions where Russia mingles with Persia. I guess it is only ever in this sense that I’m okay with my style being called ‘tribal’. ^_^

Anyways, still no scanner here, so this was drawn, photographed with my phone, and then colored in digitally.

Had fun here doing the billowy outfit. I’m happy with how this one came out, but a better iteration is underway.

Tell me what you think!

phoning in my promise to post more art

This is what a wizard looks like.

This weeks Parlour poster was rushed, since I wasn’t really supposed to be designing it. Finished in about an hour. Not counting an excruciating bout of time spent in frustration due to missing information and missing people with said information. “I’m not even supposed to be here today!”

There are some problems with it, and but you get what you get, ingrates.

Anyways, I reused elements from earlier works, cobbled them together, and made some quick changes.

Rushed to an insane degree, good thing I have spare parts at my disposal.

Sigh. Now to put on a happy face and head to my duties as doorman for the night.

If you had to pick only one night, show up on Saturday.

Anyways,  my scanner is broken. I drew the black elements of the woman by hand, took a crappy cell phone picture, cleaned up the image a little, vectorized it, and cleaned it up some more. The original was a single line drawing that I did in one continuous stroke. After that, added some extra elements to flesh it out a little. Presto.

Time worked : 4:30am – 7:15am

There is certainly a motif I am currently working with.

Hope your Thanksgiving makes you poop alot.

Ryan Alexander-Tanner, of PDX Exposed and Dave’s Killer Bread fame, made a portrait of me! Behold!

Recently he made a pretty awesome post on his blog about a t-shirt design he was making for Dave, its a funny and insightful view into the painful world of being a creative for hire. Take a look.

Back in the day I used to come home from a long hard day at the porn store and Ryan would be up at 4AM reading and drawing comics, then we would go get some Rodeo Burgers at Burger King. How fondly I look back onto these simpler times.

Anyways, you should subscribe to his blog. His work has a really rich satisfying quality, and his personality shines through in all of it.

I really need to get on some ink brush work!

Thanks Ryan!
