BAM! BEE!

Worked out the pencils and landed the pose I wanted. More to come...

RVA TEAM-UP!!

Apparently, this was the day to get things done. That is, getting artwork done.

This is for a promotional collaboration between two of my favorite places here in Richmond, Strange Matter and Velocity Comics.

Strange Matter is a restaurant/music venue/arcade that has great people, food, atmosphere and entertainment.

Velocity Comics has great people and comic books, graphic novels.

Richmond is damn lucky to have them both.

FMDG 2011 Home Bouts Schedule

So, 2011 is right around the corner. Impressive.

To me, equally impressive is the opportunity to make illustrations and designs for the Fort Myers Derby Girls again.

This double-sided flyer is their season schedule for bouts at home.

I had fun giving the design elements on this some energy with shapes, gradients and transparency. I wanted to push the roller rink feel with the colors and grid pattern that reminded me of the lights and video games from my younger days. (hint: the Eighties)

I'm looking forward to working a third season for FMDG!

The Kids Are Alright.

Here's a sneak peek of a project that I'm just dragging out, I mean, trying new stuff on it.

"Thrashy"

"Bikey"

"The best there is..."

I don't mean the picture, I mean the dude. Messin' around for an upcoming Velocity Comics DRAW! contest. Haven't done much cartooning in a while. Shame on me. Inks...


Then I flipped him and colored him. I'm not the best at color but I gave it a shot because that's what I'm supposed to do. Here ya go...


Soundtrack: Inca Babies, Jeffrey Lee Pierce 'Wildweed', Killjoys, King Brothers, KMFDM 'Opium', Laibach 'Life Is Life' single, Lard 'The Power of Lard'- basically iTunes rolling from the tail end of 'I'. Cheers.

ROLLER DERBY: NIGHTMARE ON SKATE ST.

Frederique

Here's some of the line art for the last roller derby home game of the Ft. Myers Derby Girls' season. I hate to have to put my name over it but I've had people stealing my derby images on Google searches. Glad for the exposure, but not the rip off. It's both flattering and annoying. More to come...

ROLLER DERBY: TA-TA TAKEDOWN II - finis

Under protest from my poor, little G4 and my blurry, bleary eyes....

TA-TA TAKEDOWN II inks

Today was a very good day for me. A lot of inspirational things happened to me. I have terrific people in my life. I'm very grateful.

Oh, and I jammed out pencils which I inked this evening. It feels solid to me. I'm pretty happy about it.

And last night I started writing the plot, exposition, story and character development for a comic project that I've had bouncing around in my head for years.

I am stoked!!!
