This one almost got dropped due to technical difficulties. But Chapman, the Board maker, liked the design so much that he asked if we could use the graphic as the team board. I was like, "Dope". And with a few tweeks here and there it was spiffied up and ready to print. I really like drawing Octopus legs. They have a certain type of challenge and grace to them. So I had a lot of fun drawing these octo-aliens.

Dr. Octagon!

Continuing in my talent for drawing Octopi, here's the latest addition to the Portfolio.
This graphic was surprisingly fast to make. I was really impressed with how it turned out. It's always nice when the client likes your first sketch. They only wanted me to add some stuff to the bottom, which turned out to be an excellent suggestion. Thanks a lot, People of Exact Science.

i just got a box of these shirts in the mail the other day. The Printing was amazing. Really awesome work.

A while ago, I became really fascinated with Octopi. I started drawing them after Matt Tapia at Fu Manchu asked me to do an Octopus and Carp design for him. Now I've done quite a few. They are really fun! Anyways.... I wanted to keep on with the trend, so i did this drawing for CoveredBlog. Its a more intense version of Super Adventure Comic #43. You can find the original cover here. I love Covered blog. it's one of my favorite blogs. Some of the entries are sooooo far removed from the original cover it BLOWS YOUR MIND! I can't wait to do another one. thanks a lot Covered.

Here's another design I just cranked out for Fumanchu. I always wanted to have a reason to do this kind of Japanese tattoo looking stuff. I'm glad I got the chance.
I've started doing my sketches in photoshop, for i find it easier to keep track of my chaotic sketches when I can change colors and densities so easily. My pencil and pen sketches become such a mess of discussion that usually I can't figure out what I was trying to say.
