Some Tal artwork

So, I was wondering the other day how some Tal art would look in the art style I'm currently using, and this is the result:



Here it is in black and white:



If you'd like to use it for personal use--like a character sheet or something--knock yourself out!

I'f you'd like to put it on a website, I'd appreciate a shoutout and a link to Locus (which is NSFW!).

Thanks for checking it out! It was a lot of fun to do.

Locus #3 now in print!

Looks like Issue Three is now up for sale over at Indyplanet. Click here to get your own copy!

Also: JP Morgan, the creator of Fission Chicken, has created a real-life t-shirt based upon the one I drew Spook wearing during Isaac's funeral in Issue Four. You can get your own FC shirt here. It's so awesome. I'm gonna get one as soon as I'm able.

Quick Locus updates

Just in case anyone's getting their Locus news from this neglected blog, here are a couple of updates:

Locus #3 (which you can read online starting here) has been sent to the printers as of five minutes ago. Sorry for the wait!

Also, my first Locus-related t-shirt design has been created and mailed and is on its way to me. Once I get it, I'll put up some photos of it. I'm really excited about it, as is my wife--it's her shirt. She insisted.

Finally: Locus #4 is in full swing over on Keenspot! Head on over there and read it for free! Issue four starts here.

New t-shirt design for Cockpit

Cockpit! I love this band. A shit-ton of talent and real nice people to boot. They're the kind of friends you brag about to your other friends, because they're so goddamned cool.

They needed a new t-shirt design. Unfortunately, I didn't get it to them before their month-long tour started in April. I had this miserable molar in my mouth and I was barely keeping up on Locus. Sorry, Cockpit. :(

I got it done, though:



It was lots of fun.

I'm working on something else with Cockpit right now, but they asked me not to tell you what it is.

And that's killing me right now.

This project is so cool...oh, man. Stay tuned! I'm gonna blab all about it the microsecond they tell me it's okay.

Locus #4: It's Early!

Issue Four of Locus is going online a little early. Check it out!

Album artwork--interior

I'm working with Necropharmacon right now, creating art for their new CD, the upcoming "Prisoner of Experience". This is the art that will go on the inside:



Difficult to draw (especially without using any references whatsoever) but a lot of fun to ink, and a breeze to color. I'm still trying to work out coloring in a subtle, more realistic manner...I just have so much fun with the more in-your-face style of coloring.

Classical Painter I ain't. :)

Locus Issue Two now in print!

That's right! You can now grab a hard copy of Issue Two by clicking here!

Why would you want to do that, if you can just read it for free online? I'm glad you asked!

Each print version comes with four extra pages of sketches and notes. Issue One, for example, had a number of sketches showing the evolution of Locus from her early days up to the pinup I drew when I decided to start the comic.

For Issue Two, however, I've included four pages of artwork featuring everyone's favorite uncle, Spook! You'll get to see the earliest surviving sketch of Shen'to Bana'i, drawn way back in summer of 1991. You'll also get to see the "Batman: The Animated Series" version of Spook, as well as the infamous "Disney Spook".

But the best part of the print version of Issue Two is this: I've included a full page from the original comic (done back in the mid-90s) featuring Spook's very first (visible) appearance. Note that this issue never saw print, and so this will be the first time anyone's ever seen this page.

You know you want it! Everyone loves Spook, and you do, too. :)
