Got Milk?


Another rejected idea sent to the "Got Milk" Campaign folks.

Nah, I'm just kidding.

Heads up this might be a little NSFW.

I'm clearly cut from the same cloth as my fellow underground cartoonists from the 60s/70s/80s/90s.


Those guys are my heroes.

Thanks for paving the way, and making it ok to be a weirdo.

Wizzard of Boss Color explorations


Wizzard of Boss development art by Jeaux Janovsky

Here's another Wizzard of Boss concept goodie for those of you keeping score.

Venturing further into the idea of black light color schemes, I'm certainly digging it.

Below is artwork by my talented cartoonist pal, Niko Anesti. I really dug this Black light piece he did, and used it as inspiration for coloring up the above piece.

Do yourself a favor and check out his cartoons & tumblr.

Keep watching this spot as Wizzard of Boss develops!

Believe it.

More Wizzard of Boss Dayglo Concept Art


Wizzard of Boss concept art by Jeaux Janovsky, 2011

Here's more Wizzard of Boss concept art for you to set your eyeballs on while I'm figuring out bits, pieces, twigs of storyline.

I drew this on the train, and I dig the shaky line work it gave me.

I've also been really obsessing over black light colors and when the time comes might look into printing the book in black light day glo colors.

this here's the color scheme I borrowed. Love this piece, do not have any info on the artist, however. :\ lame.

UPDATE: my pal Joselyn dug up some info in the mysterious frog poster! it's by an artist named Richard David, and was done in 1964! AWESOME! Thnx Joselyn!


Anyone out there know of or can recommend a good printing place that'll do that?

hit me up, jeauxj at gmail dot com.

Thnx,
Jx

Original Cartoon Heroes


Chuck Jones art originally posted March 24th, 2008 for Channel Frederator.


I've recently been commissioned by Fred Seibert to create a series of postcard tribute art of Original Cartoon Heroes, based off a few Refrederator illustrations I did a few years ago while working w/ Fred on Channel Frederator in NY.

I've been having a blast creating the recent pieces and it's been rekindling my love affair w/ cartoons again.

This will be my "Love Letter" to Cartoons.

Thanks Fred!

Keep your eyeballs glued here, as I'll be posting other Original Cartoon Heroes images, sketches, and behind the art goodies.

Swine Time!


Recently, I had the pleasure of doing some freelance for my pal Daniel Levitch's film company, Well-Oiled Machine and their property: the Swine trilogy.

Daniel thought I'd be a good fit for creating the illustrations for the DVD covers to each trilogy installment, I think he was right!

Daniel & I both love the B/W work of Tim Bradstreet, and used his style as an inspirational springboard for the design sensibility of the cover illos.

My process was easily complicated.

  • Daniel gave me a few pics to use of his actors.
  • Once I found my choices, I brought the pics into photoshop and manipulated them into something that sort of resembled a B/W photocopy machine look.
  • I toyed around w/ laying out and arranging the pics and shared the mockups w/ Daniel.
  • Once Daniel okayed the mockups, I printed out the B/W characters on separate pages and prepared them for the hand drawn inking process.
  • I taped the images to my lightbox and went to work w/ my sharpies and ink pens.
  • I rescanned the inked characters and brought them back into photoshop and placed them in their proper areas, the same areas as when I layed them out for mockups.
  • I sent Daniel & his friend Koren the PSD files and they created the final DVD covers.

I haven't had a chance to check out the final look, but I'm sure they did an awesome job. Pretty excited because Daniel & the rest of Well-Oiled Machine will be debuting Swine at Comic-Con this year!

Åsa Wallander as Wallace


Kelley Gallagher as Cahill



Kellsy MacKilligan as Mercedes


Jackie Becker as Amelia


Alanna Brown as Renn

Thanks for letting me be a part of Swine, Daniel! I'm sure it'll kick loads of ass, bud.

Youtube Time Machine / Video Time Machine: The Lonesome Traveler


Here's an unused App Illo I did for Video Time Machine (formerly or also known as (?) Youtube Time Machine/YTTM)!

I wanted to share it cause I really like how it came out (& the little orphan boy).

BTW, I am available for freelance of any artistic sort.

Illustration, Comics, Animation, character design, storyboards, comedy writing, etc.

If you are, or if you know of anyone, looking for any one of those things that need to be filled, send them, or yourself, my way. My info is over on the side-bar, under my name all up in my profile.

Thanks friends, and happy, safe travels! ;)
