SILENT NOISE @ HOUSE OF BLUES HOLLYWOOD!!!

My Band Silent Noise is playing at the House of Blues in Hollywood!!! How freakin awsome is that!!!



P.S. I did the layout and design for the flyer too.

This is another Mike Mingola style drawing I did, but of Death and his son arguing (I thought it was funny).

This one is titled "Even Death Has Family Issues."

Big Ass Tombstone.

So I haven’t been posting much lately…mostly because I don’t have a computer I can use for scanning and posting and doing things on. Yeah…anyway that doesn’t mean I haven’t been drawing, in fact I’ve been drawing a whole hell of a lot lately. A little story now. Last year at Comic Con I bought 2 art portfolios with 44 pages in it. I told myself I had 1 year (till next Comic Con) to fill all of the pages with my best work ever so as to get a job illustrating. Well Comic Con is fast approaching, and I have 21 pages left to fill. July 23…that’s when Comic Con is, so I have approximately 5 months to complete my task.
If you look at some of my earlier posts you’ll see some of the work that’s going into the portfolio. I hope to have more of it scanned and posted soon but a lack of free time and the lack of a computer with a scanner that I can use on a regular bases and not get yelled at by my boss has made that very difficult.

Oh well, now on to me showing off a little.

I’ve been on a big Mike Mignola kick lately (he’s the creator of Hellboy for those of you who don’t know) and so I decided to draw a nice pic of Hellboy in his style. I think it came out quite nice. Tell me what you think.

I call this one “Big Ass Tombstone.”
For obvious reasons.

More comming very soon.

More Art for your eyes

So to keep things moving along here, I'm just going to post images as I get them scanned and cleaned up and such...I'm always kind of picky about my own art so I play with them in Photoshop quite a bit till I think they are as good as I can make them.

More Robots & Monsters!!!

(only monsters so far)

This fun little guy I call 7 eye...'cuz he has 7 eyes and I'm not that clever.

My roommate loves this one. He might be tweaked a little bit to become the lead character in a comic idea he and I are working on.

Right now his name is Mean Lil' Monkey.

This is a friendly looking guy I did in the style of one of my favorite comic artists, ERIC POWELL
This one is called Swam Monster.

Some Wearwolfy goodness.

Titled: Big Bad

And last but not least this is one of my favorites right now. It's my interpretation of H.P. Lovecrafts Cathulu. He's so cute. This was one of my first attempts at full rendering with markers insted of my usual colored penciles or digital color...though I did add some to the background. I think he came out quite well.

This one is called Nigthmare.

In other news The band played a show at the world famous Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood on Friday. Man was that a blast. Lots of people showed and we had a good time, thats what I call a successful show.

We're playing again on the 10th at the Derby, I'll have more on that one later.

In the Begining...

So this is going to be my first of many blogs here about my art. I have a deviant art site up but it's not really what I want, or how I want to showcase my art, plus I'm kind of sick of the way deviant art is set up and how many adds there are all over the place (yuck).

This is also going to be a place for me to rant and yell and scream about things in general but I'll try to keep that to a dull roar.


I also want to throw in bits here and there about the comics I'm reading, the art I'm loving, the music I'm listening...to, movies I'm watching and things about my band www.myspace.com/silentnoiseband, like upcoming shows and recordings maybe video clips or in studio stuff. Just the things I find fun and love to do and talk about.


So first up here are a few drawings I've been working on for a series in my portfolio I call...

Robots & Monsters!!!

This is my original pencil drawing for my interpretation Frankenstein’s monster.

And here is the final inked version...ready for color (coming soon)
