American Phantasm Football poster

American Phantasm Football poster

Lindsay went out for dinner tonight and it was lovely, but the people yelling in the background about a silly football game fired me up creatively. The team can’t hear you yelling. Nor do they really care about your undying love for them. They’re mercenaries for hire. It’d be great to raise the stakes of [...]

Rising Heart

Rising Heart
Share

This illustration was done using colored pencils and soft pastels. I’ve been doing a lot more drawing lately. Ideas like this really start from experimentation with shapes. Started with the heart and then moved into other shapes, horizon line, etc. This will probably end up becoming a full fledged personal project and, possibly, prints made [...]

Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th

Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th

It’s Friday the 13th! Today I put an older sketch into one of my even older sketchbooks and found this doodle from ten years ago. It depicts a strapping young lad named Jason Voorhees. He plays with knives and is always pissed off about being murdered. Watch out, campers!

New Year’s Resolution…NEW MUSIC!

New Year’s Resolution…NEW MUSIC!
Share

Today I was enjoying a nice relaxing day at home and I broke out my Fender Stratocaster and condenser microphone to experiment in Propellerhead Record. For anyone familiar with Reason, Record is a sequencing software that works harmoniously with Reason. Thankfully I found a patch for hooking up the vocoder because that thing is a [...]

Little Goth Girl drawing

There was a period of time in the mid-late 1990s that every girl dressed like this. Even the most well-to-do family had their GOTHIC daughter. Oh, the horror! One too many Tim Burton movies and far too many trips to the Hot Topic at the local mall. This drawing was originally done with a pen [...]

Jon Bon Jovi Not Dead

Jon Bon Jovi Not Dead

I figured with Jon Bon Jovi being “dead” and all that he wouldn’t mind me poking fun at him. I’m not a fan of the band ever since they started playing/writing country music. Really pissed me off and I am sure I’m not the only one. So I figured a nice parody was in order. [...]

We all went out for Lindsay’s dad’s birthday on last Friday night. The food at Macaroni Grill is awesome. The bread and olive oil is one of my favorite parts of the meal. For all the artists out there, the real feature is drawing all over the table with crayons. You are never too old [...]

My friend has been riding in the annual Police Unity Tour for several years now which is organized by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. The bike tour goes from New York City all the way to Washington D.C. That’s pretty impressive and it’s for a very good cause. It reminds us how many people [...]

KICK-ASS sketch

Tonight I took a break from designing wedding invitations and RSVP cards to draw KICK-ASS. I love this character. His costume is two sizes too big and it’s ridiculously bright. He’s a goofy looking boy ninja! I used Crayola crayons and did this in about 20 minutes. Crayon doesn’t erase, so it’s fun to just [...]

Who is a huge fan of George Romero? I am. He started the zombie movie craze that hasn’t let up for the past fourty years. I did this drawing using Crayola crayons and edited it in Adobe Photoshop Express for Motorola Droid X. (I really have to get down to Asbury Park one year for [...]

Jersey Shore Roller Girls poster concept

Jersey Shore Roller Girls poster concept
Share

Earlier in 2010 I designed a concept poster for the Jersey Shore Roller Girls. Instead of using team photos, I went with a hand drawn art deco theme. The sport of roller derby goes back to the time of the 1930s and one of my favorite things from that era is “The Rocketeer” by Dave [...]

I drew this approximately ten years ago using pencil and inked it with a pen and brush. I was never a huge Star Trek fan, but I did enjoy the original series and Star Trek: The Next Generation. Also, for some reason, I gave Mr. Spock ridiculously jacked arms. If his mind meld game was [...]

Last Thursday I met up with a few creative people in Edison, NJ at Picnic Garden Korean BBQ. It’s across the street from Sam Ash. Amazing food and it’s done buffet style. Go up to the bar, pick out your own food by hand, and bring it back to the table to cook it. DELICIOUS! [...]

I’ve been listening to Queen a lot lately in my car and the Flash Gordon theme keeps reminding me how awesome Queen is and how awesome the Flash Gordon movie is. Since I’ve been drawing a lot lately, I decided to do a sketch of the all-American space hero. This drawing was done using colored [...]

  This weekend I finally decided it was time to draw again. It’s been a really, really long time. My closet is full of art supplies I haven’t used since college! So I packed up my colored pencils and my sketchbook and made it a goal to draw something that day. My only restriction was [...]

This update features something that inspires me. Music! I cannot properly work on photography or design without music. For the lovely Lindsay’s birthday, I wanted to play a couple songs from the 1980s with our friends in Beer Goggles. Boogs and I love music from the 1980s and she’s never seen me play with a [...]

(First of all, hit “Recommend” on this page. You already know car dealerships are run by criminals.) I bought my first new car in the summer of 2002. It was a black 2001 Chrysler Sebring LXi. Remember the color. Black. I was so damn happy to finally have a car with a warranty and that [...]
