Wireless explained;


Sorry I guess my posted comments were kind of one sided... The article was about disconnecting and being able to roam free while using your laptop. The traffic was basically representative of the congestion you might find online. It wasn't my intent to make him look superhuman but on the day to day newspaper stories about computers get pretty boring so I had to jazz it up. And to answer the other question it took a while because I was Designing a Magazine and still had to balance the daily hoops I have to jump through at work. This was a Buffalo News illustration and I had to work on it during paid time... (cause they don't pay me enough to take it home :(
Final image hits newstands tomorrow morning. (or front lawns, whatever...)

More variations


In hindsight I should of added some more bullet holes and weathering to the stop sign but maybe we'll do that down the road when we get higher quality presses. Checkout Churchinashirt.com (Coming Soon) for more Flavorz my man Mike will hook you up with the Righteous gear. This has been an unpaid for advertisement! I personally vouch for the quality of the products I'm attempting to solicte ;)

Stop Sinnin' answer to Stop snitchin'





Design Created for church in a shirt. An original concept by Mike Brundige and I was asked to put my spin on it (it was already a clever Idea so I just put my little spin on it!

Early painter test!


When I just started using Painter 8 this was one of my early test ended up liking the drawings but never revisited either styles. The Lower right is close to my style anyway!

Supers Steal inside!



This was the inside to the link cover. I didn't post it because I was unpleased with the fact it had to run black and white and I had to abandoned the color version midway through but I guess I had put a lot of work into it and it was worth seeing. Story was about online users uploading comic and ripping off comic companies.

Lion's Din


Looking at all this BN stuff lets me realise its okay on a page layout for a tab but nothing has any depth as a standalone all my images seems flat. In color as well as composition. Gotta work on that!
