DJ Shwann Banner

More DJ Shwann. This time, John wanted a banner/header image for the online comic we're collaborating on. Right now, I'm working on the second strip. I'm excited because it will feature the GoGo Gadgettes. They should be fun to draw. Check 'em out at http://www.myspace.com/gogogadgettes

DJ Shwann Comic Strip

John B. saw my Strip of Saber comic and wanted me to do one similar to that featuring his character. This is the result.

The Futuristic Samurai DJ

John B. - a trance DJ in San Antonio, Texas - commissioned me to draw his alter-ego DJ Shwann.

Hotshot Cover

Mike Watson is one of my classmates from CCAD. He created this awesome character. This is a mock/hypothetical cover for the comic.

If this looks familiar, it's because it's an homage to Mike Deodato's lineart from the Spiderman #528 cover.

*UPDATE: Mike just told me, after seeing the cover, that it will be the official cover for Hotshot Issue #6! WOOT!

Shark Week

It's Shark Week this week. Sharks are my favorite animals. I drew a shark. SHARK!

Chinese Zodiac

So, I was at an Indian/Chinese lunch buffet with my boss the other day, and on my placemat were these really cool, cut-paper-looking symbols/icons of the animals within Chinese Zodiac. I'm not into astrology or The Signs of the Zodiac at all, but I did think it'd be cool to design my own symbols/icons of the 12 animals.

For me, this piece really wasn't about subject-matter. Although I do like drawing animals a lot, it was more of a study in the creation and execution of a set/series of like images. My favorite assignments in art college were when we had to create lots of mini images that all appeared together. I guess I just think there's just something cool about seeing all of your artwork lined up and lookin' purdy. One style...one palette...harmony...unity. Cool.
