ILLUSTRATION


Beautiful 5

Mystery influence

Another mysterious drawing. I started drawing the girl, then the car, and it went twisted when I drew the shovel.

I used a dip pen, India ink, and Photoshop CS5.


Mysterious Eater

Eating Alone

Illustration for a self published book about people eating alone.

Pen and ink, watercolour, PhotoshopCS4.


MrRetro Wall

Type Art

This illo makes me think of the '60's. Meant to be a wallpaper for my computer, I took a photo of some type on a window and then used it as my background.

My Dearest

My Dearest...

Sometimes a sketch and some type cheer me up. A great excuse to play with my font library.

The Donut Queen

The Donut Queen

I've been obsessed with the donut queen. I've been drawing her in my sketchbooks. It started with a postcard I own, and then it went onto various sketches. Next time I draw her, I'll have to have a donut in my mouth.

Face Down Sad

Face Down Sad

Drawn straight in ink with a Pentel brush pen. Then done up in Photoshop CS4. Inspired by a panel from the 1949 issue of Young Love. A story titled "Too Wise For Romance" by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon.

Fonts used: Sidewalk Regular. Adobe Photoshop CS4.


Feather Weight

Feather Weight

A surprise drawing from my sketchbook and worked over on my computer. I wanted to make the art look like an old animation cell.

Fonts used: Fontdinerdotcom Jazz Dark, Cape-Arcona CA-PlayWild. Photoshop CS4.


Float

Float

Lately, I've been into taking pictures and incorporating them into my art. The photo in the background is not an old one. I took it while out for a walk.

Fonts used: Strangelove by Type-Art foundry. Photoshop brush of old newspaper text.


I feel fine.

I Feel Fine

Laying in bed, I produced this image. I was thinking of a brother and sister in a small town with not much happening in their lives. The brother doesn't mind, but the girl wants to be someplace else. The Canadian geese, however, move forward. For this illo, I was aiming for an animated movie still effect. I blurred the background like they did in the old 1940's cartoons.

HB Pencil, Adobe Photoshop CS4.
