I Love you Food

My most recent piece shown over at the blog Just Saying I Love You, run by designer and illustrator Erin Clark. The image itself is based on a photo of a female Ruby Crowned Kinglet taken by a photographer who goes by the name of Sooper-Deviant over at Deviant Art dot com. I've been following his work for some time as he has a tremendous eye.

Anyway in this piece I changed it up a bit by altering the birds colors a little and putting a worm in it's mouth. As the copy suggests, this little one loves her food.

The drawing was actually done last year and I don't quite remember how long it took, but the digital colors took about two hours.

New Venture Bros. Poster (W.I.P)

The work in progress of a new Venture Bros. poster I am currently inking in. This one is based on the episode Ghosts of the Sargasso (one of my all time fave episodes).

The first (upper left) image gives a sense of the layout while the other two give some detail of what I have inked thus far (The ghost of Mjr. Tom). Right click on the image to get a better view - you'll be able to see where I've made numerous notations to remind myself of where I want to go with various elements (mostly annotations on color ideas). Anyway the inks on this will be completed tomorrow and then I'll work up the colors digitally.

It's on 11 x 14 100 LB. Bristol Board. Pencils took about an hour an a half. Inks to this point have taken approx. and additional hour and a half.

When I'm done with this one I'm going to start work on a portrait of Francoise Hardy for a good friend of mine who is moving away.

I'm not gonna bother posting the previous 5 states of this. A little further into it... I have more to do - a little desaturating, doing up the copy and the like...
