“I dont live today”

Here is one of my paintings, from a collection of old school Rock and Roll musicians.  Jimi Hendrix has always been a big inspiration to me, and this painting captures that.  I have many more that I will be posting, so please check back.  As well, if you are intested in getting your own copy of “I dont live today”- I can mail you a 5×7 post card, if you provide me with your address.  Hope you enjoy!

szerencse and friends

this is a really initial sketch (orthographic style) of a character that will be part of a comic strip/kids book/ etc that Zsuzsa and I have been working on.  His name is szerencse (tough to pronounce) but it means “Lucky” in Hungarian. Pretty cute name for a dog, reminds me of an old folk tale or something.   More to come for this series, so check on back!

bird flu zombies vs. pig flu zombies!!!

Who would win?  I feel like the aerial attack of the zombie birds would really take the zombie pigs by suprise…but once the pigs got ahold of the birds, they may be no match for the ferousious jaws of the zombie pigs!  Your thoughts?!?!?birdvspigsps…this sketch was inspired by Jon’s amazing Pig Flu Zombies sketch below…if you have not seen it, take a good look!

Pig Flu Zombies!!!…

So, i was watching the news a couple days ago and they were showing how one town in Mexico cleared out, out of fear of the swine flu and there wasn’t a soul on the streets…totally reminded me of 28 days later…then i was listening to the “noname show” on Live105, and no name started going off on pig zombies and the swine flu and i couldn’t stop laughing and had to throw down this thumbnail…

which of course led to this macabre sketch….just trying to make light of this pandemic…sorry if it grosses anyone out…

WHAMMY! Detective Comics

I recently have been flipping through a stash of old school comic books and came across some really inspirational artwork.  Silver-age comics are so dope, all “pre-steriods” comic book heros/villians, pretty simple yet effective art work and really story driven. Oh, first Blue bic ballpoint, then indigo blue verithn, then depth with indigo blue prisma.    Enjoy!

vf-1j (here we go kingsley)

probably my favorite franchise of the 80s, i finally got this toy since the time 20 years ago of begging and crying to my mother to get one for me. it was expesnive back then (still is now) and, needless to say, my mother never gave in which probably led to my obsession.

i used an indigo prismacolor pencil, black ball-point pen, sharpie, and added the splash red using photoshop.
