Barracuda Magazine logo

These are some logos I did for my good friend Jeff Fox for his awesome periodical of manliness, Barracuda Magazine. Inked in Illustrator and colored in Photoshop. Enjoy, heathens.

One more thing to keep under yer hat. Shhhh....

Super-secret project. Only you know about it. Don't tell anyone.

Cleanup practice.

Practice, practice, practice.

Mental Floss Caption contest

I was asked by the very cool and talented David K. Israel to draw a cartoon for his caption contest on the Mental Floss blog. Check it out!

Drawn in Illustrator, 'natch.

While you're there, also check out some of the cool articles written by David and the other Floss contributors.

Old stuff from my deleted blog...

Chestacles Ink

I LOVE this drawing of Chestacles by his creator  Jim Smith! Since I've been practicing inking on the Wacom, I thought I'd take a stab at inking this awesome drawing. Mistakes were made, but I'm learning as I go along, and with great drawings like this, it's also fun!

Inking Dixie

Blog header work-in-progress!

I love Illustrator and Photoshop even more now that I know what I'm doing! For this knowledge, I have to thank the great Sherm Cohen for his awesome inking and coloring tutorials on his just-as-awesome blog, Cartoon Snap! Head on over there and learn and absorb! He's answered questions in his tutorials that I have been pondering for a long time.  Thanks Sherm!!! And thank you, Vincent, for pointing out Sherm's blog! Awesome!

Spongebob inked!

I took a stab at inking one of the awesomely great Vincent Waller's  pencil roughs for practice. Hope Vincent doesn't put a smack down on me next time I see him.

Slab & Ernie layout practice! UPDATE!

UPDATE: second attempt

John K put up some rough sketches of scenes to practice doing Layout. Here is my first meager attempt.

Ernie cleanup practice

Practice, practice, practice.

TA-ta-da-da! 1st stage-DONE!!!

For Spumkin to try his hand at coloring:

 

Here's the finished ink. The line on the bottom is just a reference to where the artwork will be cut off in the final. Yeah, the lettering is a cop-out. For now, I just used a font. Next, I need a background and some color! Huzzah!

Inking Progress!

As always, changes will be made.

Miniscule Progress 2

Wacom feeling a little better now. I WILL bend it to my will!!!

I definately need to go back and change some things...definately.

Ta-ta-da-da! Miniscule progress!

Wacom still scary. Need more practice. UG!

Super kartoony blog header...coming soon!

After seeing buddies like John K and Kali with cool headers on their blogs, I decided to make my own. I'll update as progress is made.
