making some changes here

If you look to your right you'll notice I've added my twitter feed into my blog so I can update here all the time. My plan is to update at the moment on my iPhone from Comic Con in July. My dad also pointed out that I said I was going to post more with my new computer but I haven't so this will help that out a bit. On the art front I have a few new projects in the works and I will be posting pics soon I promise. I've been working on a comic book with my friend Nick and it's really coming along nicely, I have the cover and pages 1-4 penciled and will post them up here to get them "published" so I can have pros at Con look over them.

GOT THE NEW BASS!!!

So about a month ago I put a brand new Ernie Ball Music Man Sterling 4 string Bass on layaway at Guitar Center in Pasadena, this is probably one of the most perfect basses you can get for the price I paid (I'm not saying how much but I couldn't beet the price anywhere and lucked out cus it went back up a few hundred bucks after I got it). I finally have a piece of pro gear I can be truly proud of, and the sound is awesome I can't wait to hear it with the rest of the band. I only wish I hadn't laid out the bass tracks on the new album (which is almost done), but next time.

Any who I hope to have some art up soon...I've kinda been procrastinating a bit (a lot) and have been real lazy...no other excuse. But yeah soon I swear.

SILENT NOISE Free show Friday Dec 4th @ LaBries (formerly the scene) in Glendale 21 & over

months gone by

So...where do I even start with this? Ummmmmmm...what was the last thing I said? Oh ummmmm...so the band is almost done with the album. Just a few finishing touches and it's done. I'm doing all the artwork for the cd cover, it's looking pretty sweet if I do say so myself. We hope to have it out by Christmas.

Lets see...what else. I moved into a new apartment. My new situation is a million times better. I'm way closer to work, like a 15 minute walk close, my new roommate is awesome...though I only really ever see her on the weekends or when shes comming home from work and I'm leaving for work (I work the graveyard shift now) our schedules are so different.

I just bought a new laptop it's pretty pimp, it's an Acer Aspire AMD Athalon x2 Dual-Core 2.1GHz processor, with 3GB DDR2, 320GB HDD, DVDRW and a 15.6" WXGA monitor (not that you care but I like geeking out about it). This means I will be posting a hell of a lot more in the future and it also means I may actually start doing some things of a more productive nature. I'll be posting new art up here soon as well and more frequently (for those of you who give a shit).

OK so that's it for now. oh wait I wanted to share this with you before I go.
Jhonen Vasquez's blog I laughed my ass off when I found this and I hope you will too.

Hope your day sucks less then yesterday,

Andrew.

Ladies & Gentalmen...Boys & Girls!!!

I'm back online!!! I just got a new laptop and am ready and able to go forward with this thing!! This means more frequent updates, more art and more stuff in general. You're so lucky.

Been a while

Hey there, sorry I haven't been around in a while (not having a computer will do that to you). Everything is going well here, the band has another show coming up pretty soon...



Speaking of the band, we played the House of Blues show back in March and I would have to say it was quite a success. See for your self...

Some Photos

We also played a show at the Roxxy in April. And that was pretty cool to. We'll be in the studio in the comming months, I plan on doing a lot of in studio photos and post them as we go. If all things go according to plan I'll be posting new music before the end of the year.

No art to show yet but I'm working on a few new fancy things. I'll have some of that up soon I hope. I switched to the graveyard shift here at work, it's a bit of a transition but I hope it'll give me a bit more time to get some of my stuff done.

Talk to you all soon,
Andrew

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.
