Hank

I really got the urge to do a portrait of Hank Williams recently, so I got down to sketching out some idea's and tried to come up with something that captured some sort of feeling/look I get from his music. I've tried here and there over the years to work text into my illustrations, with mostly poor results, but this piece made me want to delve into really concentrating on the dynamic of the image and text and how to create a cohesive illustration utilizing the two.

Below are some preliminary sketches for the palette, text and the atmosphere I was trying to achieve.

I Can't Quit You Blogger

So, I decided to come back to blogger. I'm still using my Tumblr, but I thought it'd be really neat to give myself another thing to do so that I can drive myself crazy even faster. I honestly started to feel like I had abandoned a child, or forgot my little brother at the grocery store. Damn you internet! Here are some recent pictures I have made.


Skateboard graphic I recently did for Black Sheep skate shop in Columbus, Ohio.

I swear I haven't become this cynical about skateboarding. I still love it. I think I still have some years ahead of me before I trade in my time that I used to skate for time on the bar stool.

Two different ways I chose to pay homage to my favorite horror movie of all time. Yea, you read that right. I can guarantee that no horror movie in the future will impress me as much as An American Werewolf in London does. And even if it does, I won't admit it.
