Graphic Novel Sneak peeks...

Here is some pages from my graphic novel! The only images I'm leaking out are ones that form nightmare sequences otherwise I give away too much of the story. I knocked out ten pages in the first week of 2010 but have been working on other things this last week. I hope to show more soon!

Xmas Art part one

Over the next several weeks I'll be posting Xmas images for everyone. Roughly two per week with a new one coming soon.
Hope you are enjoying the season.

New Surreal sketches...

These new sketches where from my trip to Michigan for Thanksgiving with the family! Great time, great food! Love to all my family for the fun time! This sketchbook is not part of my graphic novel, which I will get back to working on this week. My next post will be the latest Abstracts from the last couple of weeks. Hope everyone had a nice holiday! Two more to go!

Graphic Novel Sneak peek...

Another sneak peek of the graphic novel. I hate having to just show some of the more dramatic parts but showing other parts means giving away the story so I'm just doing this for a while until I start showing the complete sections with text. Enjoy and stay tuned for the next post!

More Graphic Novel sneaks...

Three pages of sketches from the early part of the graphic novel. I just started the 4th volume of sketches for the graphic novel and will crank on this volume for most of August,... in between the bike riding and kayaking... LOL! Hope your summer is going well!

More Sketches

More sketches from the archives! Working on this graphic novel of mine over the last year (I'm on the third volume already) has kept me away from doing the surreal sketches in my sketchbooks that I eventually use for the basis of my paintings. I've got a lot of these sketches that I can use before I need to get back to doing them, which I will one of these days with the graphic novel is finished. I've put off posting sections of the finished pages from the graphic novel for a while. I need to get much further alongin the story and plan on sketching more during the week to catch up. In the meantime I'll post several of the sketchbook concepts when I'm not posting doodles or color art. Enjoy and have a great weekend!
