Disney to acquire Marvel Entertainment.

Disney to acquire Marvel Entertainment.

Very interesting stuff. It doesn’t seem that strange when to take into consideration that DC is owned by Warner though, i.e. another comic book company owned by another large conglomerate. Maybe we’ll get a Disney quality animated film with Marvel characters? In 2D if we’re lucky? Because the direct to DVD animated line from Marvel [...]

Sketchbook Update – 8/28/09

Time for another one of these. Truth is, I haven’t been drawing a lot on my sketchbook lately. Most of my drawing time is spent on the pitch I’m working on. I did, however, impose a sort of rule upon myself which is to draw in my sketchbook for at least an hour before I [...]

A “District 9″ review.

A

I’m a huge fan of aliens and science fiction so I was immediately interested in director Neill Blomkamp’s District 9 when I saw its first trailer (which I’ve embedded at the end of this post) many months ago.

Mario vs. Bowser: Redux

The preceding picture has been sitting in the “Color” section of this site for a while now and was done at least a couple of years ago but I felt like highlighting it on the front page for a couple of reasons. Learn of how I made it to Joystiq after the break!

I’d kill for a Team Fortress 2 animated movie.

I'd kill for a Team Fortress 2 animated movie.

If you’ve seen the Team Fortress 2 “Meet the Spy” video that I posted a while back or if you’ve been lucky enough to stumble upon any of the other “Meet the Team” videos that developer Valve has released in the last couple years (and if you haven’t, there’s a nice little YouTube playlist at [...]

Absolute Green Lantern: Rebirth next year.

Absolute Green Lantern: Rebirth next year.

It looks like Green Lantern: Rebirth is getting the Absolute treatment next year. For many reasons (shelf space and price chief amongst them) I’ve been very judicious as to which books I buy in the oversized Absolute format. So far, Watchmen has been my one and only Absolute purchase, though I’ve considered getting Absolute Kingdom [...]

Old stuff from college.

Old stuff from college.

I was looking for a file on my computer and I stumbled upon the following set of 3 images that I did, I believe, in an Illustration class back in college. It’s been like four or five years (more even?) since I did it but I think it still holds up rather well, probably because [...]
