Lady in the Water

Here are a few bonus marker sketch studies I did recently for the film, Lady in the Water. I'm probably gonna get some flack, but I really dig this M. Night Shyamalan film. Plus I wanted an excuse to draw Paul Giamatti. It's a pretty epic, yet small, film.

All About Eve

Watched All About Eve w/ Ava a couple of weeks ago. It was a great film. Bette Davis sure is pretty. Here are a couple marker sketch studies I did whilst watching. Sure felt good to use real paper and markers, beats digital any day.

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!

I'm very thankful & grateful for that. Thank you everyone.

I'm pretty close to finishing up on one freelance project during the next few days.

The finish line is in sight.

Not sure if I've mentioned it on here yet, but I've been asked to start blogging at these fine On-line locations:
