As promised, some more artwork. Just some ink stuff, mostly quick ones and a few from a recent attempt at Inktober.  Enjoy!

New stuff next week and a few thoughts.

Be Brave.

Return of the...

It is a bit wild to me that I have left this blog empty for as long as I have. Sometimes though, life needs to be lived and work needs to be done and, for uncle/illustrator/emcees like myself, that can mean leaving blogging for a bit.

But, this is a new season and a new season means new things. I'll get into some thoughts to consider with my next week of posts but as for this moment right here, please enjoy some artwork to catch you up.

More to come tomorrow...

Jump

Getting back into a lot of things I used to so, when a dude I've really appreciated as a friend and as an emcee released this single for his first piece of music in a long while, I knew that I wanted to conduct people's thoughts toward the sentiment of this track.

A little while ago some of you may remember me being on this message for people to BE BRAVE. I wanted to point out how much it seems that people don't do stuff out of a fear and how that keeps you from advancing and growing. I made a pretty big fuss about it over the internet and in in-person conversations. Cash Hollistah's single, "Jump" is a declaration of how he is no longer gonna hold back in any way shape or form and jump out on faith with his movements and music going forward.

Its a great message, I believe in with my all. I encourage everyone to pray up and go about doing it.

If you like the artwork...

...then you should check out my Society6 page. I have prints and some other merch with the art on it.

Oh, sorry. Hi again. Been awhile, hasn't it? Sorry about that. But I am on the comeback (of which I will eventually detail where I have been and what I have been up to soon enough) and this blog is gonna be my main space for all that is coming up next for me.

Back to my first point, though. My best friend encouraged me to follow some of my fellow artists/ designers and place my artwork on a Society6 shop. With options for prints of a variety and getting your art on a variety of merchandise (mugs, throw blankets, tops and laptop/iPad skins) it seemed like something to give a whirl. Check out the page, purchase, or share with anyone who may be interested in my sort of work on different items. Many of the pieces I have posted are on there in print and other form. New stuff will be added to the shop on a consistent basis.

And look out for more posts here very very soon.

Inktober Days 21 and 22

Things got busy again so, these and the next 3 days will likely be super quickies. I'm looking forward to when my life stabilizes again and being able to get back to a few hours of drawing POST workday. The restrictions of Inktober have been good for me to get a better understanding of some things I need to work at.

It also has given me an appreciation for the time I used to have for post-work art when things were bit more settled.

Got a pair of eyes for you and a quick Edward Elric aka the Fullmetal Alchemist.

Inktober Day 20

Okay, initially I was thinking of doing random days where the art would be inked sequential pages. I have a special project in mind that basically doesn't require a lot of set up or too much figuring things out BEFORE drawing. But I had a few shifts in my schedule and plans for this month that made starting that next to impossible (although...maybe some thing for the coming month. hmmm...)
Anyways, this is from something else entirely, a thing I once tried to get a grant toward but didn't pan out. In terms of story, I have this one fleshed out almost to every single beat. Its a cool idea that has only somewhat been tread before.

All that said, (and yeah, I know its vague as all get-out) this is a sneak peek at an important image near the end of a sequential series I will get to at some point, hopefully in the very near future...

Inktober Day 19

I really just wanted to draw a cute goth-y punk chick with attitude and cool hair style. No real story to this one. Laid off the heavy dark inks, though.
