Erin's Instagram year!

As certain monsters like to remind me, I post to Instagram a lot, but don't often share my work here on the blog.  Whoops.

Here's a quick recap of a few of my favorite doodles you've missed this year!

Happy 3rd Anniversary!!!!

 This is us, three years ago. 

Our first mural gig and we didn't even know it.  The first annual Bal Ingenieux for Ingenuity Cleveland.  Having started this blog only a few months before we were commissioned  as a group of Art performers and we had the bright idea to create a comic, from start to finish in one night.  

One group start a story on one side of the room.

The other group on the opposite side.

6 Artists, using cut paper, markers, whatever we had just making stuff up on the fly.  Just getting to know each other, playing it safe, you stay in your frame and I'll stay in mine. The only collaboration was in the story and that's all.

  That is till we got to the splash page in the middle.

IT WAS FUN!!!  

Way more fun than the panels we were working on to the sides, (doubt those even exist anymore).  We bumped elbows, worked on each other's drawings (we didn't paint as much then as we do now) and created something much more satisfying together than what we worked on alone. We were hooked!

In three years we are 30+ murals in.  We've grown as Artists from working together, we've had the opportunity to work in some amazing and humbling venues, work with great people and in short become a family.

Thank you all for your support these amazing three years. 

STAY TUNED!!!!!  

2015 is already shaping up to be a HUGE year!

Hey there lil' blog neglecterinos, here's a little fun to start the new year off (yes, I'm a little behind). I think next week I'll draw a mermaid or something along those lines. -Tim

Jersey Shore: Super Mario

Happy New Year Rust Belters! If you've been following me on Instagram, you might've noticed that I ended 2014 with a flurry of posts. However, if you're only following me here, you'd think that I'm a lazy so and so because its been sparse at best. So, 2015 is all about keeping a schedule. You'll see something from me every single Friday.

You're worth it. Also, you look nice today. 

Your Pal,

Merry Christmas Futurama

My holiday cover for Carol & Johns Comics Christmas party. The Planet Express crew is standing in for the Avengers in this homage to Avengers #67. If  you are in the Cleveland area Saturday December 20th, you should stop by and see this and so so so many other fantastic covers drawn to raise money for the Cleveland Food Bank.

Still ain't afraid of no ghosts

Been under radio silence for a while but I thought I would share a little passion project I did.  Lately I've been involved with a great group of people that are interested in helping the community while parading around our nerdy love for all things Ghostbusters, The Northeast Ohio Ghostbusters.  Soon the Non Profit end of the group will be officially up and running so we needed a logo and here it is.

I can't claim total ownership of this lil' fella, my pal Ryan Finley of the Scribble Nerds  started the ball rolling, a concept here and there from the group and I got to tie it all up in a slimy little ball.

Crazy Catwoman

Every year around the holidays, our good buddies at Carol and John's Comics raffle off comic book covers created by local artists to benefit the Cleveland Food Bank.

Last year, I did a cover featuring Batman and Robin attacked by a swarm of Cat Woman's pets. Since that cover was pretty popular at the event (and I love me some kitties) I decided to do a follow up this year:

Acrylic paint with a touch of watercolor and colored pencil!

Pencils:

Last year's cover:

 

Come hang out at the comic shop on December 20th and win my new cover! Or maybe art by another RBMC member or one of our cartoon pals. Details here. See you there!
