Another Jazzy Transformer

For some reason I appear to be unable to go long lengths of time without drawing a transformer toy character. In this case it is one from my childhood mixed with the style of my son's. This is Jazz as I would imagine he would look if he appeared on the new Transformers: Prime cartoon. It was made completely in Illustrator with zero underdrawing. Took about 2 hours. Let me know if you'd like to see more of these. Like I said... I appear compelled...

I got me some local press

The local Tacoma indie paper did a write up of John Munn's quest for an Eisner. My efforts in securing that win are prominently displayed!

Derby Dames Drawing Jam!

This event bears repeating here on my art blog... This Thursday, as part of the Tacoma Art Walk, the The Cartoonist's League of Absurd Washingtonians will join up with the Dockyard Derby Dames to present the Derby Dames Drawing Jam! An evening of life drawing where the subjects will be local roller derby stars! http://www.cartoonistsleague.o​rg/july-open-swim-derby-dames-​drawing-jam/

The SDCC Onesheet

A draft of the one sheet handout that is heading to San Diego with my mini comic for the Eisner Spirit of Retailing award while I remain here... in sunny Tacoma. Let me know what you think. If you are going to be at SDCC track down John Munn (Director) and grab a one sheet from him.

Today's BE A HERO event

Today I was lucky enough to be part of the BE A HERO fundrasing event for my friend's comic book shop... COMIC BOOK INK. I was one of nine artist donating time and artwork to patrons that donated whatever they can to help the Cartoonists League of Absurd Washingtonians raise money to help out the shop. Halfway through the event a very generous patron donated over $200.00 for 9 Team Fortress 2 watercolor sketches. I was happy to make them. I am posting some, if not all of them here.
