SDCC 2011 Business Cards

2011-07-27T22:56:00.003-05:00

Went about this years business cards a little smarter. I had the front side printed out with my info and drew up some sketches on the backs. Couldn't get a photo of all of them but here's a sampling of what went out. Good times!

Thank you!

Thank you everyone who stopped by our table this year at Comic-con! What a blast! We had lots of fun with good friends and got to meet some great people! You all made this comic-con something really special.

My Banner for SDCC 2011

2011-07-15T00:05:00.007-05:00

Here is the completed banner illustration for my half of our table at this years SDCC. Finished it with hours to spare. As you can see....it's a sideshow theme for "The Rare Breed Gallery" this year. I opted for a crappy magician. I used to know magic tricks....now it's just painful to watch me fumble through the 1 trick I can remember, but behold how I can remove my thumb tip and re-attach it. SORCERY!!!

Stop on by Table E-09 and check out some birds...maybe nab a print or 2. Don't forget to also cruise by table F-03 and check out the rest of the group.

A Banner for the Lady

2011-07-13T23:37:00.009-05:00

Here is the completed banner illustration for my wifes half of our table at this years SDCC. She'll be selling a bunch of hand made needle felted birds, which I think are ridiculously adorable. The Banner was made possible by the insanely awesome and talented Bill Halliar. He designed/illustrated all the scroll work/curtains/text for all of our banners this year. Good stuff!
Now to see if I can finish my own banner in time. doh!

Brookfield Zoo Sketches

2011-06-24T15:35:00.005-05:00

Went to the zoo last week and drew up these guys. It's been a hot minute since I've drawn from life at the zoo. Totally forgot how much fun it is. I need to do that more often.

American Robin

2011-04-14T02:46:00.005-05:00

Just wrapped this up this night/morning. This guy has the nastiest sounding binomial nomenclature....Turdus migratorius. Yuck dude...yuck...but they do lay the most adorable eggs.

Black-Capped Chickadee

2011-04-03T23:24:00.003-05:00

Observational sketch of the Black-Capped Chickadee.

Great Horned Owl

2011-03-27T20:44:00.008-05:00

Here is the next entry into the birds I've seen. I peeped this guy out my front door being chased by a murder of crows a few mornings ago.

Turkey Vulture Redux

2011-03-06T22:20:00.007-06:00

So I ended up deciding to scrap the old Turkey Vulture I was working on. Once I started on this guy I couldn't stop. This one came out little more dramatic i think...just a wee bit.

9-5 Work

2011-02-15T22:31:00.005-06:00

Here is the latest video background I threw together for my 9-5. Soon it'll have an actor standing in front of it and be all animated to teach kids some Math. Yay!

Golden-Crowned Kinglet

2011-01-16T02:42:00.005-06:00

Just finished this guy up. My take on the Golden-Crowned Kinglet.

Turkey Vulture Sketch

2010-08-17T17:55:00.004-05:00

So my wife got me into bird watching some years ago. We've seen our fair share of goodies over the past couple of years . So I decided to start drawing these guys up one at a time. First one on the list...ye' ole nasty carrion munching Turkey Vulture. It's a work in progress...can't wait to finish this guy up and move on to the next.

Rupert the Cat

2010-08-05T12:41:00.005-05:00

Rupert was a cat I had for 11 years. I found him in a dumpster in Chicago. He was in a closed cardboard cat carrier with the name "Rupert" written on it. The little guy was pretty gnarly looking and I was pretty sure he wouldn't last too long. Lots of vet visits and lots of love let him live a happy and healthy 11 years under our watch. This is the first of many illustrations I'll be working on to tell his back story of what his life was like before he made it to the big city. He was a one of a kind mysterious forest cat that I'm honored to have the luxury of living with as long as I did.

SDCC Business Cards

2010-07-26T22:16:00.004-05:00

Decided to hand draw my business cards for Comic-Con this year. I started photographing them after I ran out of the first 10 I made. Skipped a few here and there but this is pretty much what they ended up looking like. I don't think I've written my name this much since grade school. Yowza! It was mad fun making these.

Toot!

2010-07-26T15:56:00.005-05:00

Toot is a 3 legged, deaf, Bull Terrier a friend of ours has the luxury of living with. He's been deaf since birth and lost his leg due to a botched surgery around 2 years ago. He's the happiest little dude around and doesn't miss his hearing, or leg one bit.

I did this illustration for him as return favor for the awesome Painting he did for me of my 4 legged homie...Hogan.
