more of "welcome home"........

so more pages coming off the hot burning printing press of an art table. These are really becoming all i could hope for. They are aged like a fine cheese...since i penciled them months ago (seriously, they are well overdue)...it's taken me a long time to go from start to finish, but all the stuff im learning in between seems to be rearing it's pretty face....who doesn't love that devilish grin of success???

and in other news....i feel a storm a brewing, with some amazing fireworks of inks and art on the horizon. I cant say too much about it, but when it happens you bet i'll let you know what to look out for ;) The world has strange ways of connecting people at various times in ones life. Let's just say that chevy nova's can be the chrome links in a chain of some neat cyber friendships of fainting sheep.

once, twice, three times a lady....

so im learning photoshop here....inbetween 2 jobs, commissions and three side projects...and a manic fabric addiction...

first: traditional stuff


and then i try to color it in PS2...i cant tell you how i got this, as im not quite sure myself...some sort of happy accident involving quick masks and layer styles...



and then me being obsessive and going back into something.....i don't know which i like better or if either is finished...

hero in a half shell, TURTLE POWER!

so today was my lil brothers b-day....and we went to go see TMNT (the hip, new abreviation for that beloved wacky creation that is 'teenage mutant ninja turtles').
ah yes, the intro...about four young turtles transformed by toxic goo, named after the great renaissance masters and trained in the ancient arts of the ninja brought me way back to when i used to watch this stuff when i was a kid....and yes...the movie was good....and so i drew a turtle...i wanna do a crazy angled one of all four of the turtles, but this will have to suffice for tonite. off to go watch kat on miami ink!

(oh yes, and because it seems unhip to sign my complete name on everything....im trying out new lil' sigies to see if i can sign art the new hip way.....damn you hipsters!)

and 20 minutes later.......a quick sketch of kat from miami ink
