Round38: Run Clayman run


Skullmonkeys is still one of the best, most fully immersible game I have ever played. Art direction by Doug Tennepel and Terry Taylor's absolutely inspired soundtrack fit together like peas and carrots.  Goofyness almost on a level of sublime!  Would have played many, many more sequels.  

Messing around with some new colored pencils for this one, Graduated up to some Crayon d'Arche Pablos for this one.  Thanks for checking it out!

Enjoy some beans!

Round 36: Manage Your Anger


I don't have the strongest relationship with Johnny Cash, but I do have a certain appreciation for "Boy Name Sue."  Its my fondness for that song coupled with my current obsession with Penny Arcade's "Strip Search" that made me want to give a quick web comic a try.  I don't feel like I have a complete handle on the process, but I'm sure that would come in time.  Hope you enjoy.

The Outre' Project


So it's been a while since I've been able to participate with the rest of the monsters in the challenges. And this is one of the few reasons why. This is page one of an 8 page story I penciled and inked for Magnus Aspli's Outre': Responsibility. An online comic available as a free PDF download starting on Free Comic Book day. The story was written by old friend Ron Montgomery, who I worked with on Fubar: Empire of the Rising Dead. The lettering was provided by the talented Rafer Roberts, who I also worked with on Dark Horse's Once Upon a Time Machine...but the really big thrill for me was having our own fellow monster, Tim Switalksi do the coloring chores on this. As you can see by the page....it is incredible work. My pencil and inks never looked so good. I can guarantee...Tim and I will be working together again...and again. This time though I won't put him under such a tight deadline. Promise Tim! Keep and eye on the blog, over the next 12 hours I'll be posting the link once the page is live. So you all can click and download for FREE. Thanks again Tim.
