Z is for Zorro

January 22, 2010

Well folks, we’ve reached the end of the series. Z is for Zorro!
It took significantly longer than 26 weeks, but here we are. I’m a little bit more experienced, you’re a little bit more aware of the absurdity of many comic book characters- I’d say we both came out ahead.
I’ll be starting the next series, [...]

Y is for Yankee Poodle

January 21, 2010

This one harkens all the way back to the entry for the letter C.
Yankee Poodle is a member of the Zoo Crew, the team of talking animal superheroes let by Captain Carrot.

January 20, 2010

aka Professor X, leader of the X-Men!
Now, I’ve got to be completely honest. I don’t much like Professor X. He always seemed kind of sinister- like he had some ulterior motive he wouldn’t share with the team. But then, I’ve never been a huge X-Men fan in general, so take my opinion with a grain [...]

Full title: Volstagg The Voluminous, the Lion of Asgard!
(I assume the exclamation point is mandatory, but I can’t say for sure.)

Volstagg is a character from Marvel’s Thor series, and is a member of the Warriors Three, Thor’s drinking/fighting buddies. He is known for being (a) awesome, (b) fat, and (c) totally rad.
Stay tuned for more [...]

Danny The Dragon

January 11, 2010

Here’s a recent shirt design commissioned by Happy Hollow Park & Zoo in San Jose.
I submitted three roughs with the same dragon artwork, and this was my favorite. (Unfortunately, the client went with my least favorite, a more typography-centered design. Ain’t that always the way.)
This was a fun illustration job, as the client wanted to [...]

November 9, 2009

That’s right! A murderous artificial intelligence! Can’t go wrong with Ultron. He/it is awesome.

Rocket Raccoon! Sam Simeon! Ted Kord!

October 6, 2009

That’s right, it’s a comics alphabet triple play! THREE entries jam-packed into one.
Accompanying everybody’s favorite defender of the galaxy, Rocket Raccoon, is one half of the Angel and the Ape investigative team, the comics-drawing gorilla Sam Simeon. And standing tall in the back is Ted Kord, alias the Blue Beetle, genius inventor, superhero and all [...]
