Sketchbook Update – Closing Out The Year Edition

And so another year ends. This website has changed a lot since the end of last year and I’m sure my whim will bring forth even more changes in 2011 (I already have a new website design in mind that I’d like to run through some people). I like to think of this site as [...]

Canabalt

I got this game for my iPhone when it went on sale for a buck not too long ago and I just loved the aesthetic of it. I had played it before but I didn’t pay much mind to it and, because so much horizontal space is lost in the iPhone port compared to the [...]

A “127 Hours” review.

A

The first thing I did after watching 127 Hours in the theater was to hit up IMDB to refresh my memory on director Danny Boyle’s previous efforts. Of his movies that I’ve seen, I happen to dislike 28 Days Later on many levels and I think Sunshine started out really strong before it plummeted into mediocrity a [...]

Sketchbook Update – Orange Edition

My newest sketchbook is now well underway and here are the newest scans! I also did a re-working of how my sketchbooks are organized on this site. I used to name each sketchbook by year but the next year hasn’t even begun and I’m already almost a quarter through with my new sketchbook. I’m clearly [...]

“Infinity Blade” is a shining knight to the App Store.

I’m not sold on the idea of the iPhone/iPad as a true gaming device to contend with the likes of the DS. Apple likes to spin numbers such as there being thousands of games on the App Store and stuff but the reality of it is that at least 90% of those games are cheaply produced, unplayable [...]

In Hindsight: “Hell’s Kitchen” Part 2 – Artwork

In Hindsight:

Here is the second and final part of this look back at the work that was done for the Hell’s Kitchen comic book pitch. I’ll be looking at the shortcomings of my own artwork here and hoping that enough time has passed since I actually did all of it that I’ll be able to look [...]

Mega Man Tribute = It’s ON!

Mega Man Tribute = It's ON!

UDON is putting out a third Tribute artbook, a Mega Man one this time, and I’m throwing my hat in the ring once again. When I submitted to the Street Fighter Tribute, my piece just wasn’t very well executed and when I submitted to the Darkstalkers Tribute, I couldn’t color it in time. This time around, [...]

Team Yagami

Team Yagami

The King of Fighters XIII hype train is running full steam ahead on my side of the street so I decided to knock out this piece in honor of it. It was originally going to be just Mature and Vice but I threw Iori in there for good measure even though I’m not completely sold [...]

R.I.P. Nielsen / Kershner

R.I.P. Nielsen / Kershner

Over the last few days, we lost two giants who left their marks in completely different areas of the film industry. There is really nothing to be said of Irvin Kershnel, the man who directed, among others, a movie that is one of the greatest of all time and the voice of a generation. Of [...]

I’m on Twitter.

I'm on Twitter.

I held off on creating a Twitter account for the longest of times for one simple reason: my name is longer than their name character limit so fuck ‘em. Then I started to realize that I was missing on bits of internet gold by not being enrolled in the Twitter-verse so I made my whole [...]
