Finished Rick Grimes

It's finally back! But more importantly, I finally finished this illustration that I started forever ago...

Ricks got his gun back!

WIP Rick

I started slacking off after I finished up with Inktober. Sorry for the wait, hopefully this work in progress Rick can make up for it!

Paint Test

Here's a quick paint test I did on one of my zombies.

INKtober 28

Zeke from Zombies Ate My Neighbors! It was one of the cooler games for the Super NES.

INKtober 24

Lawn Zombie. Forever watering the lawn.

INKtober 12: THRILLtober!

I absolutely love watching this music video during Halloween. The music, the costumes, the dancing, the Vincent Price, the spooky atmosphere; nothing puts me in the Halloween spirit more than Thriller!

"And though you fight to stay alive

Your body starts to shiver

For no mere mortal can resist

The evil of the thriller"

INKtober 8

I guess this is a corpse? I'm not quite sure what it is, so I'm calling it, "Check please."

Zombies!

Here are some of the concepts I came up with while I was working on my zombie app. I have a ton in my sketchbook but these were some of my favorites.

zBook

I finally finished my interactive app "Mommy, Where Do Zombies Come From?". Here is one of the pages from it and also a final poster that was used for promotion. The BFA show was a huge success and I think all the people who came really had a lot of fun. In case you didn't get a chance to see the app you can check it out here on Android or Apple marketplace!

zbook progress

Here is some progress on my zbook. In this scene the user drags the chainsaw guy over to the crowd of zombies and limbs and heads start spewing out. It will be a fun one!

Happy Birthday!

Here is a sketch I did for my friend's daughter's birthday. She really likes Zombies and since I couldn't get her an ACTUAL zombie pinata I just drew a scene of how it might look.... (lets hope Dad picked out a ripe one!)

Silent Night

Christmas is a time of love, joy and zombies eating snowmen.

Happy Holidays!

I have this print and a dozen others up for sale at on my Etsy shop! Check it out! RowboatRobot

Persistent Little Bugger...

The only thing cooler than a shark is a zombie. False. They are equally cool, and therefor will periodically fight each other during the Zombie Apocalypse. With blank, soulless eyes, these relentless eating machines make the perfect match for an epic underwater battle. The zombie may be out of his element, but he'll continue to scrape and bite long after his chunks and guts rest inside the sharks belly.

Daryl Dixon Ya'll

With his apocalypse-friendly crossbow and the sleeves torn off of everything he wears, Daryl is easily one of the coolest characters in The Walking Dead. After I started watching this show (I haven't read the graphic novels) I was surprised at how much I cared about this character. Maybe it's his rough past that's concealed by his squinty eyes, or his Hungry Man squirrel dinners, but I think there will be riots in the streets when they decide to kill him off.

"Trust me son!"

Remember when you were little, and you were afraid to jump into the deep end of the swimming pool? And your parents were there saying, "don't worry, it'll be okay. You have your floaties!" THEY WERE WRONG. In fact, your floaties would probably keep you suspended at just the right height for the grabbing zombie arms, like some kind of fleshy pinata.

Unsuspecting Happy Dog

For my advanced Illustration class we had to choose a theme for all the projects we will be doing this semester. You'll never guess what theme I chose....

I tried to do this Illustration in the style of Jean Baptiste Vendamme. He is an excellent artist and I can appreciate his style even more having tried to emulate it. I have to admit I spent as much time (if not more) on the design and shape of the dog than the actual painting. For anyone who thinks an artists way of illustrating is easy just because their work looks simple, try it out and see for yourself.

Speed Paintings

For my Digital Painting class last semester we did a 1 hour speed painting every morning. Some turned out better than others.
