Just some old Illustrator work I rediscovered...

I illustrated a forklift at work yesterday!

It seems like comic books would be great tools for learning and knowledge retention. Here are the first few pages of a training comic I created as a prototype for the Performance Development Group...

Here's the finished illustration of the previous post...

I finally have a shadow of direction to follow for a series of comic books I've been thinking of creating for a while. Here are the pencils for page 1 of book 1! I already want to change a couple panels. We'll see how it turns out when it's lined and colored.

I made this very short film with the kids the other night. It's pretty silly, but I guess that goes along with the moral of the story...

I did this illustration for the Neil Gaiman contest on deviantArt... "A Calendar of Tales".

I did this illustration for a deviantArt contest which celebrates the upcoming Tomb Raider game...

Here's some new stuff from the old sketchbook... Nuns and Amazons!

I did this quick illustration to show a friend how I use textures in Illustrator. Turn your texture image to grayscale. Place your texture on a layer above the desired shape. Use a copy of the desired shape to make a clipping mask for your texture image. Apply a blending mode to your texture. Play around with the blending modes and opacity until you're happy with the results.

I just received a couple copies of Chris in the mail from lulu.com. A copy of the book can be purchased from their site here... CHRIS . The book is a little expensive, but that's just because it's so rare!

Here's a little Superman drawing I finished off in Illustrator...

My first new artwork post in 2013!
