Big Red...in B&W



I love Hellboy.
I LOVE Mignola.
The series has reached an all-time peak with the he's-so-fantastic-I-hate-his-f***ing-guts Duncan Fegredo hopping onboard.
I kinda like this sketch. One of the rare moments where I didn't instantly hate what I just sketched...

Oliver Twist study



I'd love to see a great giant-sized graphic novel adaption of Oliver Twist.
And I'd love to do it...of course.

The Joker



An little bit of an oldie, but one of my more favorite recent artsy thingamabobs...

Preciousssssss Hobbit Sketches





For a bit now, I've been playing around with creating some sequential pages based on "The Hobbit", just to show as samples of my talent...or lack there of.
These were some initial stabs at Bilbo and Gollum done awhile back...

Grimly Blaque



This handsome li'l bastard was what I christened my new sketchbook with. Fun to just fire off with a pen and try a little watercolor...even though I can't watercolor for crap. Tis still be fun.
The name is a little tip o' the proverbial cap to two of my favorite children's books creators, Gris Grimly and Holly Black.
His little dialogue balloon was a message to myself...

The Life & Times of The Daring-Do Kid


The Daring-Do Kid enjoying some downtime with Heinekin (aka Danger Dog), somewhat spent after battling the diabolical Kleigor Von Dragoon...
