More Updates on The Kid's Book. Here a few of the interior images. They are black and white, sorta half-page images like old kid's book interiors used to be. Done with india ink, brush, and crow quill pen. They still need some tweaking, that I'll hopefully find time for.

Book Cover!

I'm doing illustrations for a children's book that my Grandfather wrote as a favor to my mom. Not my normal "cup of tea", but it gave me an excuse to break out the paints. I'm going for a old, somewhat classic "storybook" sort of feel. Kinda retro without looking like the 50's modernist stuff that I like so much. I have some black and white's to do for the interior still. The cover features "jumpy" the jumping horse and "taco" the flying dog (part of the reason his ear's are so big).

And since its been a while since I said so, fuck you, Microsoft.

ZOMBIE PIRATE!

Quick Lunch Time Photoshop Sketch. Trying to find time again to fill my world with undead pirates and dubious cowboys.

YAR! More Pirates, Matey!

This piece was painted with gouache on printmaking paper. Its more of a study than anything else, from my Pirate-themed series I'm calling "The Blood Volcano". These are some of the questionable crew of the XMS Blackheart.

This is my piece for the 2006 Works Member's auction. Info on it can be found at http://www.workssanjose.org/

Co-Worker Abuse! I collected a number of my scribbles of my co-workers to put on display here at Crystal. Here are a couple of samples of my lack of sensitivity.

IRELAND!

I was in ireland for a few weeks on business and vacation.

Here are a few of my work collegues from the business part of the trip (known only as "The Englisher" and "The Frenchman"). I also threw in a few tentacle designs for some upcoming pirate paintings that I sketched in Ireland.

More Monsters!

I finally had a few minutes to finish the first set of pieces in my "Monster Mash" series. Basically, its a four-square of Monster portraits in goauche, which were vaguely inspired by a cool project I was working on a few years ago that never saw the light of day (by the way, Microsoft, go fuck yourself).
