Recent Acquisitions Show 2013

By | figure drawing, Original Art, twinks | No Comments

Hey so a a 20 minute drawing I did at the workshop which (Charles Leslie bought that night on the spot) is in Leslie-Lohman‘s Recent Acquisitions exhibition!

Now, if you know my work, you’ll probably recognize why I don’t consider this to be one of my best pieces. I can’t help but see what’s wrong with it– in fact, I probably would have thrown it out if it wasn’t purchased. But the age old saying goes, “With art, everyone sees something different,” and in this case, the curators are seeing something that I don’t, so… um… that’s cool.

Another cool thing is that it was next to a Charles Demuth and a Bernard Perlin– they’re like in history books, man!

RemiX Roster Select

By | Fan Art, Marvel, muscles, video games, X-Men | 4 Comments

What many don’t know about my X-Men RemiX project is that it has always been inspired by video game design sensibilities. I’ve come to the realization that video games are perfectly valid media to tell stories; specifically stories I’d like to tell.

This game would combine elements from all my favorite existing X-Men games; the side scrolling arcade engine of Konami’s X-Men, the simple but effective design of the 16-bit X-Men platformers, some RPG aspects of Activision’s X-Men Legends, and the panache of Capcom’s X-Men fighters.

The JC aspects come in the form of an ENORMOUS playable cast (it’s kinda one of the things I love about the franchise) and of course my bulgy colorful art style– hehe!
