I'm From The Streets!

I followed some graf art tutorials and here's what I came up with. Letter studies below.

Bringin' it to you old school...

I found some old stuff that I never put up on here. Thought the page could use some color anyway...

Anybody out there have a copy of photoshop for me? I want to color stuff on a more regular basis.


Background image pilfered from someone else. Picture photoshopped over photograph of myself. Not seen: Evan behind me running a sword through me. Someday when I have a working copy of photoshop, I will finish it.


Myself, skanking. It's fun... Not like I wear jeans or anything, but I think I owned some back when I made this.


My friends band, CIO. I hope some day these dweebs get into a damned studio so I can hear them clearly, because they've got some sweet potential. This is old, but it was a lot of fun to mess around with... Real quick project, mostly for experience.

Let the damn cows moo...

So I've been practicing a little at work, trying to get form and perspective down. Please pardon the majority of these, as most of them are as long as my index finger maximum.


Frankenstein in daisy dukes at the beach. I'm going to blow this up and make a big inked piece out of it. I love it. Considering it's size, I certainly hope you do too.

The Abyss. A medieval themed super-villain. He's a shadowmancer who once fought on the side of good by the grace of god yadda yadda. Until he was taken hostage and tortured by a super villain also fighting in the name of God. As a crusader. As Nietzsche would say "If you stare long enough into the abyss, the abyss stares also into you..." A hero truly corrupted by the evil he fights, only to become even more villainous than The Judge.

In case you think I dropped the So Long Davey project, here is a sketch for the idea of the drummer. I thought the pose was dynamic and fun. Seemed to match him, at least based on the photos I've seen and what I've been told.

Good Old Captain A-Head. The Old Soldier is one of my favorite super heroes, and I felt the need to draw him in all of his flag waving splendor.

My idea for the So Long Davey logo to go in the corner of my album idea. I like graf feel, and since I haven't done graffiti before, I am proud of how it came out.

Atlas. A sketch I did in pen with no reference on hand. I am super proud of it, and I think that The Last Titan couldn't look too much radder. Edward got me thinking, so I'm playing with his color scheme just a little. I just realized that I left his logo off his chest, I'll have to remember to put it on...

Practicing perspective on a drawing of El Esqueleto. Mostly working on guns. The pose felt good, but the sketch came out all disproportioned.

Old idea for a kind of SatAm feel Johnny Rage. I dunno, it's ok. I mostly only like it because the only other times I've drawn him without his mask he looked too old.

Tak Tak Meju, chief engineer aboard the Boundless Destiny... He's kind of an OwlBear thing. The young of his species are abandoned at birth, and rarely survive. As such, he has not met one of his own kind. He built the Boundless Destiny, but he is a lousy pilot.
An idea for a Whiplash cover. Again, practicing perspective.

Idea for the SLD cover concept. The poses have changed on the drummer and guitarist. Intended alignment lower left hand corner.


Concept sketch for Xam Zere (Name tentative. Might use it for a planet instead). Captain of The Darkest Days, and trained assassin/body guard much as Motsche Tsuhai.


The final SLD character sketch. Guitarist. A few changes will be made to the final. You can also see Wolverine, Spiderman, and Barrett Dekker. Named after two of my favorite singers, Dickey Barrett and Aaron Barrett and the legendary Desmond Dekker.

My concept for a ninja themed Batman costume. The batarangs fold in half and attach to the forearms.

A bad green lantern design with a self portrait in the back.

A Green Lantern design. Sides of hair are grey and spiked, tribute to Hal Jordan.

And here is Dickey Barrett. Taken at the OC fair, at the greatest concert in the history of the Earth. The BossTones are back in plaid, and never looked or sounded better!
