Sketches

A little more work on Bowie.

A quick colour job on Bowie.

A few sketches I did tonight.  More on this soon.

Arca's &&&&& Mixtape

This guy is most known as one of the producers of Kanye West's Yeezus, which I could give a shit about but shit do I love this mixtape, which is available to stream or download.  Looking forward to more mixtapes and maybe even a proper album in 2014.

The Giant Iceballs of Lake Michigan

It is so cold in most of North America now that the pounding waves have causes giant iceballs to form on some of the shores of Lake Michigan; some weight as much as 50lbs (over 20kg).

WTF Happened to Movie Posters

Here is an accurate and sad look at modern movie posters and how in the era of big budget blockbusters the studios, which spend the same amount of money promoting and advertising movies as they spend on the movies themselves (hundreds of millions of dollars in some cases).  Yet, they completely forget about the posters, often using throw together photoshop work and simple generic formulas that look like they chose the lowest bidder and create the poster, which besides the trailer and commercials, is their primary advertising piece.

Medusa

So I finished the linework on this one last night.  Next step I will bring it into Photoshop and change the lines up a bit from one side to the other and the look of the snakes so it isn't quite so symmetrical.  I am looking forward to colouring this one but first I will jump back onto the Joker and colour that first.

Another nights progress.

This is a work in progress that I have slowly been working on in Illustrator for a few days.  I was also working on the Joker today and will continue working on both tomorrow.  So more updates soon.

Joker Sketch

Joker all finished up.  I was about to give up on this one last night because I wasn't happy with the way it was turning out but I'm glad I stuck with it and figured out a solution.

Working on the Clown Prince of Crime.

I have drawn in Joker's suit and touched up the face in a few places.  Later I will add some simple background and then begin colour this on Photoshop.

A piece I started the other day but spent last night working on.  This is the first time I have drawn anything from Batman since I was about 12 years old so it was cool to try my hand at it again.  I would like to do more comic art in the future and there is still much left to do with this one.  I will finish sketching out his suit and the background then I will scan them in and colour it up using Photoshop.  More to come soon.

NASA's Cassini Images of Saturn and its Many Moons

In Focus, The Atlantic's Photo Blog posted a collection of images taken by the Cassini satellite over the last nine and a half years it has been orbiting around Saturn, collecting data and photographing the gas giant, its rings, and the 150 known moons that orbit the planet.  Click this link below to see the full gallery of images (I have posted only a small sample of my favorite images) as well as an explanation of each image and of the Cassini mission as well.
