Dreadful Base Card - COLOURED!

Here is the coloured version of the base-card that will be included in the Monsters Freaks & Zombies sketch-card set, coming soon from Cult-Stuff. The good folks at Cult-Stuff are graciously providing Lance Sawyer and I with some free promotional space for our book, Dreadful - using this image and one of Lance's as base-cards. On the back of each of these cards will be the original Dreadful cover, with all the important information on where to go to order a copy and how to commission us.

Brains for Christmas

Here's another commission for Chris - he requested a busty, blonde, and blatantly oblivious cheerleader sitting on the lap of a zombie Santa. It's a little ways after Christmas, I know, but it was still fun to draw.

And the Word Was Good!

Actually, his words were, "Dude. This is f-ing awesome! I could not have asked for a better portrait. You rock." Here's a zombie portrait done for Mitchel over at the word zombie. If you're interested in getting yourself zombified, the price is $40.00 for one person, $50.00 for two people and $20.00 for each additional person. More information here: TheHORDE!!!

P'ups Return Card Commission

Just finished this up today (January 23rd, 2011) - my one and only P'ups return card, commissioned by Chris Walsh. He requested a busty brunette holding a long-haired dachshund, made to look just like his own. I'm really happy with the way this card turned out - the card looks a lot better than the scan; I think it's my best P'ups card.

Dreadful News!

Check it out! My good buddy and partner-in-crime, Lance Sawyer, got some great exposure recently in the Santa Maria Sun! He gave an awesome interview and brought some excellent attention to our flagship project, Dreadful! Click on the image below to read the full article.

Magic!

Here's the base card I did for the Monsters, Freaks and Zombies sketch-card set, coming soon from Cult-Stuff. I was originally asked to draw "a magician sawing a woman in half." I started to draw a man in a top-hat holding a chainsaw, standing over a girl looking dead in a long box that was cut across the middle. When the pencils were done I thought that was sort of boring, so I revamped it and came up with this. He's still a magician and she's still getting sawed in half! Magic!

The Obelisk of Judgment & The Playground of Fire

Here are two illustrations I recently finished up - they will accompany a short, funny horror story that will be included in a book a friend of mine is putting together (release date to be announced). The first image is of the mighty demon-type god, "Throm" overseeing a school playground that is slowly sinking into lava. The second image is of the "Obelisk of Judgement" - a fun spot for class field trips!

 

Stephanie & Tim - Zombies in Love

My last commission of the year - a zombie portrait for a dude in Burbank, California. The zombies you see are his daughter and her fiancee. For my last commission of the year I'm stoked that he loves it. I really hope his daughter loves it too. And that you love it! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

 

On a personal side note, I'm pretty happy to announce that I have surpassed my record for posts in a year with 99! My previous best was in 2006 when I started this blog, with 98. Here to 100 in 2011! w00t!

Monsters Freaks & Zombies Preview

Here are eight of my favourites of the fifty-five cards I created for the Monsters Freaks & Zombies set, coming soon from the, UK -based company, "Cult Stuff." Check out their website here. I was stoked to work on this set - I actually got to draw boobies on sketch-cards! Hope ya digs!

Family Christmas Photos (Photo-Bomb!!)

Just finished up Christmas dinner in Bracebridge - everyone got together for a family photo. Naturally, after a few nice ones were taken, my cousin and I decided it was time to bomb a couple. Notice: my cousin, the amputee (not really) in the second picture, and me putting my "Ask Me About My Zombie T-Shirt" to good use in the third picture. Merry Christmas! Enjoy.

 

 

Dipper (Christmas Gift)

Every year my family (all fifteen of us) do a gift exchange; this year, I got my cousin, Monica. She currently owns a horse named Dipper but, as she is looking to go back to school, it appears as though she may have to sell Dipper in order to pay tuition. That news was rumored back in October at Thanksgiving and, since I drew Monica for Christmas this year, I thought it might be nice for her if I did a special painting of Dipper; something she could remember him by, as it were. This is what came out: it is watercolour and ink on 11x14 watercolour paper. Hope ya digs!

Star Wars Galaxy 6 Preview

Here are six of the 100 sketch-cards I did for the Star Wars: Galaxy 6 set - coming soon from Topps/Lucasarts. I also did 50 sketch-cards for the retail line coming out through Target. Hope ya digs!

Trust Me, I'm an Un-Dead Jedi

Here's another recent zombie portrait commission - this one's for a local girl's brother. Apparently his favourite shirt reads, "Trust me, I'm a Jedi" - I was asked to include it specifically. The girl absolutely loved the finished work; I can only hope her brother loves it even more. Hope ya digs!

I Don't Think I Posted This Yet...

Back in August I designed this poster for a friend of mine who teaches a class at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario. The course is, obviously, The Monstrous Feminist; it examines the roles of women in horror films. I was really excited to be able to create this poster for her.

Headless Horseman

A long over-due commission for a friend - Christopher Walken as the Headless Horseman from Tim Burton's Sleep Hollow. Hope ya digs!
