<br />Drew a Johnny Cash Zombie. Took me a little time to do, but I'm really pretty proud of it. I've been on a Zombie kick lately (along with other horror-centric monsters) and doing this was bangin' around my noodle for a while. I think I might want to prints of this one, but we'll see. poprocketsandcomicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188088112044686621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908179706999165429.post-39779151716076293782011-08-07T15:22:00.005-06:002011-08-07T15:41:59.868-06:00Notes<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAOW6Y-WHREFhTG-p_YOfbysNYENDKtB1I2M-bdUX9PkEMUxdwQaOxs4xkTjOXYlX8codf2gcjI0UC6NSZWhULq8UGUMqWrOSS3frVoMuSuWAx9B2sTJ25mpPF7x-tAa7GATtk-0kD-JBY/s1600/Bikeriders.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 201px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAOW6Y-WHREFhTG-p_YOfbysNYENDKtB1I2M-bdUX9PkEMUxdwQaOxs4xkTjOXYlX8codf2gcjI0UC6NSZWhULq8UGUMqWrOSS3frVoMuSuWAx9B2sTJ25mpPF7x-tAa7GATtk-0kD-JBY/s400/Bikeriders.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638227627447967922" /></a><br /><br />Lately I've been listening to a lot of rootsy folk-punk stuff.

ME!! So this is a beginning of sorts, you see, if you know me, you may know that i am a rather exuberant fan of Thor, both the Marvel comics character and the mythical Norse God. And as excitement builds for the upcoming movie (May 6) so my own exuberance builds. So today's sketch is a first of what I can only think will be many, many daily sketches that are very Thor-themed.(i wanna do a whole week of Thor fighting ridiculous things).<br /><br />So I hope you're all as excited as I am about all the Asgardian-ness sure to come our way in the coming weeks!<br /><br />Plus, he's just so damned fun to draw!poprocketsandcomicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188088112044686621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908179706999165429.post-56657780660431608732011-04-03T22:03:00.004-06:002011-04-03T22:26:06.762-06:00NOT Blowing it (sorta)!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv9cfxbDRPbD36nQQhtFJK_bOUxxXGJSXm753TuYATVzPz_Ed6n5X9pYU7rVYwiL4V6-Y4I-kmCbT8hOoLjTS9aPGuWlb8j-Eh5METF5bJka4MKdufcY7mMENLSiaGB_RU2L7SIppFJe5a/s1600/pile+up2011.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 302px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv9cfxbDRPbD36nQQhtFJK_bOUxxXGJSXm753TuYATVzPz_Ed6n5X9pYU7rVYwiL4V6-Y4I-kmCbT8hOoLjTS9aPGuWlb8j-Eh5METF5bJka4MKdufcY7mMENLSiaGB_RU2L7SIppFJe5a/s400/pile+up2011.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591579292502107698" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3mNbHzOQzXCmOggbeYlGaKzqw18kLevY7XJTJlW1VHGzl4-2JOErMdNudaWDhHv73HlcC_z9weSdXXZvk3G9MKDElAyw5LBhU-ZDDbaGO2alEvwKGneQqRF-zJHsq-SKqPbDfqsiavYtW/s1600/pile+up.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 257px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3mNbHzOQzXCmOggbeYlGaKzqw18kLevY7XJTJlW1VHGzl4-2JOErMdNudaWDhHv73HlcC_z9weSdXXZvk3G9MKDElAyw5LBhU-ZDDbaGO2alEvwKGneQqRF-zJHsq-SKqPbDfqsiavYtW/s400/pile+up.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591579133935004034" /></a><br /><br />Wow, so I'm only sorta mostly dropping the ball on this whole daily sketchblog thing, BUT(!) I will say that I have been busy doing arty things! I did I drawing for a poster the other day, seen above in both sketch and classy-color form(!) and I gotta lot of stuff in the works! Including a lot of work I'm doing for an art show hosted by my buddy Nate! <br /><br />In other news, I believe Dave is setting up another blog page specifically devoted to our (ahem) "Daily Sketches" where we will post too. I don't really know how to get there just yet, but keep an eye out and I'll keep you updated. Also, I believe our good friend Andrew will be getting in on the shenanigans with Dave and I, so this other page will be a great one stop shop for some sweet doodle action ("That's what she said""HA!") That said I will also be updating this page as well with my stuff, so if you're a monogamous blogger, you don't have to worry about missing my sweet stuff.<br /><br />So regarding the art show, I'll give more details later, but if you happen to be in Edmonton on Sat. Apr 16 at about 5ish, come by Brixx Bar and Grill . Subtle, huh.<br /><br />Also, I just want to say with no small amount of excitement that we only (at time of typing this) 32 days, 1 hour, 39 minutes and 50 seconds away from THOR! And he's already showing up on the Dr. Pepper bottles! Exciting isn't it?!<br /><br />Anyways, keep your axes sharp<br />Gpoprocketsandcomicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188088112044686621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908179706999165429.post-33816941979153228672011-03-29T22:43:00.003-06:002011-03-29T22:52:09.282-06:00Sketch 4: It's a Wolver-doodle!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh21ugLYijkOG9pCud3G8eDgAssIhucHo5HRTPWaGOL0Ymfn3zxNI8YiAKn0rOTsUJS8qEe_oAymo6qB2bFJUaUDkbBeG6nQ6Z6na6mSYjYWjHGY8iBvK55MN9fZEgajblts3fdyFi38_L/s1600/Wolverine009.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 304px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh21ugLYijkOG9pCud3G8eDgAssIhucHo5HRTPWaGOL0Ymfn3zxNI8YiAKn0rOTsUJS8qEe_oAymo6qB2bFJUaUDkbBeG6nQ6Z6na6mSYjYWjHGY8iBvK55MN9fZEgajblts3fdyFi38_L/s400/Wolverine009.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589731189590791906" /></a><br />So as promised, (and in darn fine time, too) I present a second sketch today and announce that I am all caught up!

So i know I didn't post yesterday, but I got busy. A friend is in town from Saskatchewan and the Sheena and I were playing host's with the most's. Anyhoo, Dave did not disappoint and posted a Daredevil sketch, and I needed to match. I think I'll try to do another sketch tonight to catch up.<br /><br />Oh, also, the new Amon Amarth album came out today. Buy it. It's the soundtrack to bludgeoning someone with an axe. <br /><br />Also also... I spelled 'bludgeoning' correctly on the first try.

But with life being what it is and both of us having full time jobs which are sadly not related our chosen fields (Dave being an animator, myself being a graphic designer/illustrator) we find ourselves more quality doodle time. So we decided that we should challenge each other into doing a sketch everyday and post it before 11:00 pm every night. <br /><br />Finally! A foe thats not quite as colossal as the Leviathan that is PROCRASTINATION (please say in a deep, dramatic tone for effect)!!! I mean, I'm sure I could oust Dave at being the more dedicated sketcher! <br /><br />So with that in mind I present my first entry into the for-real-this-time-I-promise-to-be-good-and-draw-everyday SKETCHBLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGGGG!!!!! The best thing about a bad movie, the most-underused Villian of ever, the meanest Sith this side of Omicron-Persei 8, DAAAAAARRRTTTHHH MAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLL!<br /><br />I look forward to screwing this sketchblog thing up.<br /><br />Oh, and in the interest of fairness and friendly competition (You suck, Dave!) here's Dave's blog http://davidmeredith7.blogspot.com/poprocketsandcomicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188088112044686621noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908179706999165429.post-34540897241543129032011-02-27T14:14:00.009-07:002011-02-27T15:19:21.269-07:00Save Yourself, I'll hold Them BackSweet marie I'm just terrible at this blog thing. Worst part is, it is something I really am wanting to do! So to start, I've been working at pretty steadily at my day job, and it's not really allowing me the time or energy to do my art and comic stuff, that said I have been doing a fair amount of quality sketching lately. Also, with my scanner being not-at-all great, I've found myself taking a lot of pictures of my sketches on my iPhone using the Instagram app. If you use Instagram, my tag is poprockets, come follow me, we'll go for a ride. So expect less actual scans of my work, and more captured images. A lot of this is because I work on an 11" x 14" sketchbook, and my scanner ain't so big. Alas....<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb3VAWaqkm-Nb-bhqoevqQc0hC_ISp8aeYnIt9Ib0V33Eu71cK0jDKn9P0b9DrDk1sT3YCDXktG9i38_3W7yudMQHqqRkUb2s4a9OhArbNfKSeMmtbhLPGWIHio9Lbsp3Gl2mjLQAbyPW5/s1600/89af960da9584d5eba417b4e70ee7cfd_7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb3VAWaqkm-Nb-bhqoevqQc0hC_ISp8aeYnIt9Ib0V33Eu71cK0jDKn9P0b9DrDk1sT3YCDXktG9i38_3W7yudMQHqqRkUb2s4a9OhArbNfKSeMmtbhLPGWIHio9Lbsp3Gl2mjLQAbyPW5/s400/89af960da9584d5eba417b4e70ee7cfd_7.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578483866513214130" /></a><br /><br />So this guy is one centered around one of two pretty solid ideas I have for comics. Both I think could really work well, i just have to sit down and write some stuff, develop actual plots and pitches and the like. I don't want to get into the specifics of the ideas (because you might steal them) but both are a science fiction-y. The character above is one of the protagonists in a story involving espionage, secret science societies and rayguns. The other book (main character pictured below) is more of a adventure science fiction complete with crazy aliens and jet packs. I kind of imagine it as a space Hellboy in terms of how picture its vibe.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIpLFpdkNgDQvvRdhADrQj3v6p805qKmE5uLo5vJdBXU4h25mx-SUDIT5sNm064M3pRC81vZiTxxXyWwLqxCbSP_W4cptHQuJK06-s6ZSaM7_t0Ubfb8ouRErOWUB5aW9mO7q56DhY1x_9/s1600/72946daf49914d5dbe57c5800ae730ff_7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIpLFpdkNgDQvvRdhADrQj3v6p805qKmE5uLo5vJdBXU4h25mx-SUDIT5sNm064M3pRC81vZiTxxXyWwLqxCbSP_W4cptHQuJK06-s6ZSaM7_t0Ubfb8ouRErOWUB5aW9mO7q56DhY1x_9/s400/72946daf49914d5dbe57c5800ae730ff_7.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578486147965143474" /></a><br /><br />Then just a few additional sketches <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE4nXPcd-nOS429Z_eDmIq4gwArz94WQWP3Y0Yfja68Mji0EGRvlHOqjuOLIJskJqvYiDu94SPzO4rg5Gy9LQ_0zCw0IpiwBKtmp2LLD9ACdfamcRBhfWb6NEhyphenhyphenmy3VRiPW652R_laECOA/s1600/Frontier+Physics003.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 295px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE4nXPcd-nOS429Z_eDmIq4gwArz94WQWP3Y0Yfja68Mji0EGRvlHOqjuOLIJskJqvYiDu94SPzO4rg5Gy9LQ_0zCw0IpiwBKtmp2LLD9ACdfamcRBhfWb6NEhyphenhyphenmy3VRiPW652R_laECOA/s400/Frontier+Physics003.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578487154959694738" /></a><br /><br />Including a quick David Bowie sketch mostly because I've been listening to a lot Bowie lately.

Nothing quite feels so good as drawing a tonne. As per usual, I thrive when its just loose sketchbook work, not really taking things to what a lot of people would consider a state of 'finished'. I like it though, I feel good, feel loose, feel like i can stretch my legs artistically. And it also feels like I'm really working towards my goal of being a professional (ie:paid, preferably on a regular basis) comic book artist. I think i'm almost ready for getting into a more storytelling mode. Stories, etc. I think I've got a really cool concept for 24 hour comic day next month, which is good, cause if you go in unprepared for that, you could actually die. <br /><br />So here's a sketch of me sketching. It's a very zen-like thing. I know.<br /><br />P.S. If you're reading this and you're into comics, please go buy Thor: The Mighty Avenger. It's an awesome, easy read, but its so much fun, the art is sublime yet accessible, and it's out-of-continuity, which means that you really don't need to know anything about the character or anything thats happened to him in the past. It's really good.poprocketsandcomicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188088112044686621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908179706999165429.post-81295312070136425012010-09-11T19:56:00.004-06:002010-09-11T20:01:58.094-06:00A return to the drafting board!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsoWMFBjORplz84EWtjzHbxqBwoRCUPpD3bwdZlc1WnSJ0L_wLI_qX-sOshuCDzc-mCELvvt5IqEiN3cUMJyE3eurJy4-cm8ITgQJnjszYmtMqECVzTmL34Ct1wOMutrH_Dyh2NarXQeFk/s1600/Val+Halla001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 291px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsoWMFBjORplz84EWtjzHbxqBwoRCUPpD3bwdZlc1WnSJ0L_wLI_qX-sOshuCDzc-mCELvvt5IqEiN3cUMJyE3eurJy4-cm8ITgQJnjszYmtMqECVzTmL34Ct1wOMutrH_Dyh2NarXQeFk/s400/Val+Halla001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515840523134331650" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBGQhkxsVbO96fF7xcRqoM38NPibpR18aW4fjI2DO5fmWIsi85twG8_56WVD7K_SyjaYLVvJ9ZPsmtJBdhbLrtlbys9wgQ7vxsCQu_PUnaw2tlR6FGRApwFV1t2gOlNf17yJbGUxx9SntL/s1600/lounge002.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 291px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBGQhkxsVbO96fF7xcRqoM38NPibpR18aW4fjI2DO5fmWIsi85twG8_56WVD7K_SyjaYLVvJ9ZPsmtJBdhbLrtlbys9wgQ7vxsCQu_PUnaw2tlR6FGRApwFV1t2gOlNf17yJbGUxx9SntL/s400/lounge002.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515840372735604322" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhBn65JzPGKKyQ1l491ybphvgw6F1AOrmIPrgI8nePgtWBEXhhjIMQYU2f-S4peEvu0Fy5mcmrRz63p1ao0wf-ORsRKie13BM4l7Xkj1N5oHt4JYX5Lz7q2TLVgsREZl479MUtUP3pZH-V/s1600/conan003.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 291px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhBn65JzPGKKyQ1l491ybphvgw6F1AOrmIPrgI8nePgtWBEXhhjIMQYU2f-S4peEvu0Fy5mcmrRz63p1ao0wf-ORsRKie13BM4l7Xkj1N5oHt4JYX5Lz7q2TLVgsREZl479MUtUP3pZH-V/s400/conan003.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515840142442239842" /></a><br /><br />I've been doing a lot of sketching lately, feeling inspired, confident and having some fun with it. Lot of the inspiration comes from the upcoming 24 hour comic day, which is coming up next month, and this year, I'm planning on kicking a tonne of ass.<br /><br />Anyhoo, here's a few sketches I've been working on. Lots of ink stuff; I got really bogged down by pencil work, so this felt refreshing.<br /><br />In the meantime, I've been listening to the new album by Texas' The Sword. It's seriously, really rad.

Anyway, works been a little dry on the poster front, so here's a few older favorites. On the plus side, i have been doing more drawing lately (all superhero nerdy stuff) and I'm starting to get to know my Wacom tablet. That, I should have done a long, long time ago. Other than that, with the design work not paying the bills (not that it ever did) and welfare cutting my monthly allowance (from just over $500 a month to a $1. Literally, a dollar!) since I moved in with my girlfriend, my nerd habits are no longer being adequately funded, and so: I will be job hunting in the near future. Yessir, with resume in hand, I will go out in the world once again full of piss and vinegar, with no doubt that I will succeed! Also, I think I'm close to coming up with a solid concept for a comic, and then get this ball-a-rollin'!<br /><br />Other news and fun stuff: managed to see the Thor footage from comic-con before Marvel's legal wolves had it taken down, and the verdict is: Awesome!! As a giant Thor geek, I am REALLY loving what I've been seeing! Also, check out the new Ryan Bingham CD, its amazing. And Secret Avengers may be my new favorite comic ever. <br /><br />Besides that, a little while ago, Marvel writer Jeph (I'm a sack of shit) Loeb was promoted to VP of TV and Animation at Marvel, and I couldn't be happier for the guy! Well, that is, see, I'm hoping his new found corporate responsibilities will keep him from writing as many titles on a monthly basis, and in case you didn't know; I think Loeb is a sack of shit. The only time I like Loebs work is when he works with Tim Sale, and then his wooden "I can't write dialog for shit" scripts find a nice, campy home. Beyond that, he's ruined everything he's ever even looked at. Ultimates was one my favorite all-time titles, and he just shat on it and every good thing that it was. And don't even get me started on his whole Hulk/Red Hulk thing that he's been doing, because it's awful. just. Awful.poprocketsandcomicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188088112044686621noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908179706999165429.post-18459426236109441712010-05-10T16:26:00.005-06:002010-05-10T16:35:54.817-06:00New gig posters<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD5pcuA_gFipdOh6d9wIVbM5YaRcuAoKsTUUMU1DDGvN0RPXkdDoSXNrhPACpbDsspiOAM5C1oHva2NC76YVBGtQDkeLvT157_2oecZcX9ZRK8DMtgnE1JzOQYeJUtLoVBHtaYALZ7GFkJ/s1600/Dawn+In+the+City.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD5pcuA_gFipdOh6d9wIVbM5YaRcuAoKsTUUMU1DDGvN0RPXkdDoSXNrhPACpbDsspiOAM5C1oHva2NC76YVBGtQDkeLvT157_2oecZcX9ZRK8DMtgnE1JzOQYeJUtLoVBHtaYALZ7GFkJ/s400/Dawn+In+the+City.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469772352815175410" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG79IS-1cz9IoqPgziddRPlomnSTYt35dMhmWT6UruJ4Sa23-hWwDAASJIhEAT5hc1QiGsqlhyrid9nBba4sQ48miTXjQnWjBFu82hY1aDC3CiZooJa1pcjz0cYyaYUnsONXjDAR3e7M3W/s1600/subcity.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG79IS-1cz9IoqPgziddRPlomnSTYt35dMhmWT6UruJ4Sa23-hWwDAASJIhEAT5hc1QiGsqlhyrid9nBba4sQ48miTXjQnWjBFu82hY1aDC3CiZooJa1pcjz0cYyaYUnsONXjDAR3e7M3W/s400/subcity.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469772149816781106" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF2ECK9dva97d9DZlLOB2mFvsNTeu9u6AGkG1QbV6LGXvDvK8oXN3DQ4Np71u_ypTEtkcIKbPrhO_Gf5xDLqxd5TUyCBh5RKoNESzz-sldCzlQGXMUCyfdwacmR-Rrzjq65_ZksXeQKzpv/s1600/Skylifejune.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF2ECK9dva97d9DZlLOB2mFvsNTeu9u6AGkG1QbV6LGXvDvK8oXN3DQ4Np71u_ypTEtkcIKbPrhO_Gf5xDLqxd5TUyCBh5RKoNESzz-sldCzlQGXMUCyfdwacmR-Rrzjq65_ZksXeQKzpv/s400/Skylifejune.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469771778311212690" border="0" /></a>Here's a couple of poster work I've done lately. I'll post some of my older favorites later. I mostly do work for smaller shows here in Edmonton. I really enjoy the work, I like doing posters. I feel like I still got a long way to go before I can be the kind of poster artist I'd like to be,for now these are fun.poprocketsandcomicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188088112044686621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908179706999165429.post-80292060864727653692010-03-29T21:30:00.002-06:002010-03-29T21:41:10.409-06:00To boldly go where...yaddayaddayadda<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">So I have finally caught up to the rest of the world, and have now created a full-on ass-kicking blog the likes of which would make even the might NPH cry. I really don't have much to post right now, as my computer (chock-full of kick-assery) is in the shop, and I'm setting this up on my girlfriends mac. So be prepared for much awesomeness in the near-future as I throw myself (along with art, fun stuff, and opinions and such) onto the wild wild world of THE INTERNETS (without the safety net that is facebook). Anyhoo, as I post things and ongoing in my life, I hope you enjoy my rants ravings and like.
