My Work in Bangstyle Magazine

Bangstyle Magazine

Computer Arts Projects Magazine

Back in the fall I was asked to partake in the December issue of Computer Arts Projects. They wanted me to do a tutorial for their Character Design issue, regarding how to create an illustration using monsters. It was pretty much right up my alley, and I had a lot of freedom in what I created. The limitations were pretty much only in word counts for written descriptions and the number of steps required etc. This issue features a lot of really interesting work by great artists. I've posted some pictures below. Also, there is an animation tutorial by James Wignall using one of my characters from my tutorial. I think one of my favorite things about the issue is seeing artists sketches and initial thoughts in designing a character. It's really hard to find this magazine around where I live, so I was very pleased to get a copy sent to me by the magazine. Thanks guys :)

My work in Blanket Magazine's 1st printed issue!

I got this in the mail today! Bec Brown did an amazing job of putting it all together, and I am very grateful for having been included in it! Can't wait to see future issues :)

Just because....

Just thought I'd give a brief update as to what has been going on lately. I finished the patterns I was working on earlier and I'm happy with them (being a first attempt and all). I am working on a piece right now for an October group show in New Mexico. It's going pretty well so far. I've been trying not to get too distracted thinking about the other pieces I need to do after this one. Just concentrate on one thing at a time here.

Oh, on a different note, I'm really excited to say that Blanket magazine's first printed issue is coming out soon (and I'm in it!). I need to order myself one asap. There's a great lineup of talent included (5 of the artists I recognize and am fans of). This is my 3rd time being involved with an issue of Blanket (twice previously in their PDF format). Head over to their website to have a look at what is to come!

ANNALEMMA Magazine

A while back I did some freelance illustration for Annalemma Magazine to accompany a work of fiction. I just got the issue in the mail today! I was pleased to see how nicely it was printed and designed, and was also happy to feast my eyes on the work of fellow illustrators Paul X Johnson and Alvaro Tapia Hidalgo. My thanks go out to Chris Heavener and his team for making it such a great issue, and inviting me to take part in it :)

Here are some pictures I snapped today.

below are some better images of my contribution to the issue:
