I have really busy lately. I have been doing illustration for the book for SDC whom I work for. I love working with them and doing cartoons for them. I also have been taking a steady stream of freelance work in. My car needed some repairs so I have had a hard time saying no to freelance even though I am way swamped with work. I am also doing a Fringe Show. What's that?! Fringe Fest happens every year in Minneapolis where various theaters have one act plays playing one after another for the first few weeks of August. I am acting in Table for Two. It's a romantic comedy and is a lot of fun. I helped with some of the production parts of the show. I did some Photoshop work to our photos and put together our postcard. I also help with some of the props too.

An interesting freelance assignment I have is for the Minneapolis Club. I am doing 12 line art illustrations similar to the work of Frank Wing. Frank Wing's work is amazing! There is a pub in the club where the illustrations will be hung up. 12 of them mine and 12 Frank Wing's. I can't recreate his style but mine will be a nice tribute to the current members whereas Wing's features members from some where around 1916!

The book will be finished real soon and then I will have a printed copy by January!

I have some custom clip art to make for General Mills and some other various freelance.

When it rains, it pours!!

Better to be really busy than sitting here twiddling my thumbs.

New gift caricatures

These were done for the awesome folks at General Mills.

I have been busy lately but wanted to post something so here is an illustration I did a while ago.

I redrew a photo in Illustrator. Similar to how I did my profile pic.

More SDC Book Illos

Here's some more illos for the book that we will finish by this fall.

I would like to post work that is different from I have been posting but

this is the work that has been keeping me busy!

Freaked out

Here's an illo for the book I am working on with SDC.
It's for hair stylists.

This has to do with appearances. The stylist and client have made assumptions based off of each other's appearance. Shame on them! When you assume you make an "ASS" out of "U" and "ME".

Everybody knows that!!

Vampire Queen

Here's some Photoshop work I did for a modeling shoot.

Photography was done by NightKast Images <--link

The Vampire is Alisha Mandel and the guy she killed is some guy.

Training Center

Here's an illo for the book I am working on with SDC.

I showed my thumbnails of three ideas and the middle 

one was liked the most so I created the final off that.

Quick sketches

Work has been keeping me busy. That's a good thing. Busy = $Money$

Here's some quick sketches...

SDC illos

Here's a  few spot illos I created for SDC for the book and video 

we are working on.

Samurai Sketch

Warm up sketch done off of pic I found 

while searching for reference photos.

Nephew's Room

For my new nephew that is almost here I painted a monkey and a giraffe on the wall of his room.
Why a giraffe and monkey? That's what my brother and his wife wanted. I don't do a lot of this kind of work. It was kinda fun to do something that wasn't digital which most of my work is.

First used a projector to trace outlines of art onto wall...
Painted a white base of gesso...
Projected the sketch again on the base and traced with pencil and then used Sharpies over it...
Airbrushed it.

Giant Monsters!

I did this a while back (two years ago) and thought I would share it.

Burger King guy

Ate a Whopper and did a quick sketch of this guy.

Eagle River

 

Here's some art I did for my friend's band: Eagle River.
