...and here's the final product! It took a few days to do since I took my sweet ass time with it, but it's done for the open house tomorrow.I also get to do a coloring demo on the projector during the open house.Yikes! Should be fun though :)

Here's the progress of the flier I did for Comic Books and Beyond!

The teaching gig is going to be interesting at the very least, but I'm really looking forward to it. It's all comic book narrative art baby! The first six weeks is an introduction to the different aspects of creating comics and stuff like layout, design, story teling, pencilling, inking, lettering, and coloring basics. The second six weeks the students will write their own 2 page script and I'll

So, I finaly decided to be more prolific and visit somethings I haven't one in a while, like painting. I haven't picked up a paint brush in 5 years, so this was a bit of a test for me. I took my old Lobo sketch, transfered it with tracing paper to an 8"x10" canvas panel (it was a 3-pack I bought at Micheals for like six bucks.) I used mostly acrylics, with little bits of colored pencil.When I was

Did some sketches the other day and this was the result. It's been a while since I've just done something for shits and giggles and just let go drawing all willy nilly... the stuff at the top of the first page any way. The other drawings are character sketches for a children's book, but I might go in another direction in terms of style....and tonight I got a little carried away with CS2 and

Here's a review of General Jack Cosmos and the Vampire Men of Kothos. I inked 8 pages in issue 2. Go pick up a copy fools!I'll post a few pages up, now that it's out. http://geeksofdoom.com/2008/05/08/nycc-indie-comic-round-up-part-3/-Jon

Here's a Indiana Jones sketch I did for an art submission for a graphic novel pitch. I won't be doing the pencils, but may be doing colors or inks. Not perfect, but hey... it's art :)Just in time for the movie this week. I can't wait!-Jon

Here are some pages from the Children of the Grave trade available now from IDW Publishing. I'll post some more pages later after I find and format them. I worked on this last fall and keep forgetting that  I haven't posted these anywhere :)Enjoy!-Jon

Here's my second water color. Last week was water and the week before was washes/skies, but I missed that class due to my grandmother's funeral.We have off this week due to Tulip Time, so that will give me more time to do another one that's, hopefully, more planned out. With this one I just started going, which isn't something I've done before.Not bad, but I know I can do better :)I've also

Okay, so it's not the watercolor stuff I promised, but it's art! I've been working on this for the last week or so trying to shake off the drawing cobwebs. I'm thinking of selling it at one point for some extra $$$, but we'll see. I might be too proud of it to give it up yet :)Payce!-Jon

Jumping jahosifat it's been a long time! I've been doing things....erm, yep. Actually I've just gotten monumentally lazy with posting art. Anyhoo, I just started taking a landscape watercolor class with the love of my life and this was the result of the first class. We missed last week's class due to a family funeral, but will be going tonight. Hopefully I can put something up every Tuesday. I

I haven't tried my hand at coloring for a while and really dug Mau Russo's inks on this piece and he was kind enough to point me to his hi-res version (along with a few other pics)

Yeah I know it's not much, but I'm working on a few more, and some I can't post since photobucket doesn't like them. Oh well. I'm kind of sad to see this one go since I'm generally not that good at drawing women.

Whoooooweeee, what a week!The trip to Missouri was a great success. We've got a lot of work to do but at least now we know more about how to get from point A to point B. So much was talked about it was rediculous and most of it was financial jargon I didn't understand at first. I'll try to break down how things happened and keep it simple so as to not bore everyone.Tuesday: Took off for Missouri

DD was a paid commission (my first!) and Lobo was for the DC weekly since it was extended due to awesomeness.

Wonder Woman sketch for eatpoo activity this week. I rarely draw wimmens, so I though I'd try everyone's favorite amazon.

So I'm sitting here working on a page for City of Fire when all of a sudden I get a call from my friend Brad. He was watching the show Ninja Warrior today when a little Feed blerb about the comic came up. It didn't sound like it went into too much detail, it just described it as a comic about soldiers in Iraq.If I can find a link to the story I'll post it here, but holy shit...we made TV.WOOHOO!

Jeepers. I intended to update this sooner, but shit went haywire apparently with this whole google thing. At any rate, here's some stuff. Some new, some old.The first one is pencils by Jimmy Cheung, inks by me. Second one art by Tony Moore colors by me. Strange/Hellboy all me. Painting thingy: a kid's drawing my digital painting a la Dave Devries. Last one Gerry Kissel drew the figure and I took

Here are some of my latest inking attmepts. Decided to get some stuff ready for Chicago Con for some feedback. Had more fun with the Cable armwrestling page than the Demon ones, to be honest. John Byrne's style was too loose and hatchy for me. I still plan on finishing the whole issue at some point for submission purposes. Zooma zoom!

Wow, two new pieces of artwork in two weeks. I'm on a roll! Here's the latest product of my loins. It was done for a challenge over at penciljack.com. I'm happy with it and let me be the first to admit that there aren't too many things I've done that I didn't want to immediately burn. Hopefully I can continue this spree of actually noticing an improvement in my inking. 'Till next time!

Hello friend of friends! This is where I hope to put up some samples of my comic book work as I strive for artistic perfection(or not). Most of the stuff will probably be inking samples and stuff that I'm practicing on to improve my inking in preperation for actually getting some good samples to send in to editors. Full of hot air? Maybe. Might just be gas.So without further abatement of your
