Ludo

Remember 1986?  Your favorite film Labyrinth just hit theaters and it did awful.  You prided yourself on being a hipster(yeah they were around back then too) and you claimed that Jim Henson was a genius ahead of his time.  But then...
WTF?!?!  When the crap did everyone else start liking the Labyrinth?  No!  I heard of them first!  You're just a poser!
...good times
I wasn't born then....
Anyway, Ludo is probably the best character that Henson ever created.  I don't know why.  Maybe it's the fact that he's this giant monster, but you're never afraid of him.  Not like those dancing bird monkeys that throw their heads at you.(They're called Firey -googled)

Early digital painting

Finished with the drawing still obviously underneith

unnecessary detail

The Moth and the Flame

Here's a poster I did for a band, but I'm not sure if they ever did see it.  It was based off a self portrait sketch that I did, however the self portrait was not successful at all.  It was for a class and we were just practicing digital painting.
Deep sea diver suits are pretty much the coolest uniforms their are.  I enjoyed working on the second deep sea diver.  It was almost a completely different piece.

yeah...I don't know either

Battle of the Bands in Utah

Battle of the Bands UTAH

Here's one of a battle of the bands Illustration that I did a while ago.  It was agains two rival bands, called maybe tomorrow (MT or 'empty') and a band called chasing chance.  I don't think that chasing chance even knew I did a poster for them but hey. Other bands were in it too, like Diamond village, rev mahem, and ...others.  Really I just heard a story about two french men who wanted to do a duel in hot air balloons and I wanted to draw it.  A lot of details aren't there like the drivers who took them up, but I'm pretty sure one of them had a mustache like that. 

Batman

Have you ever wondered what the batman characters would be like in high school?  Or what their day jobs would be?  Does it say those things in the comics?  Maybe I should read more comics.  Here's some daily sketches that I've been working on. Feel free to offer to buy the originals.   All are ink and pen drawings.  Ink is the way to go.
    Can you guess all the villains?

na na na na na na na na BATMAN!

For my Ol' School Pals

Here's a picture of my college prof.  Perry Stewart.  He was really influential in my progression.  He was advising me on my BFA show but then had an accident,  so I don't know if he's going to get a chance to go.  Hopefully he gets better soon.
