Classically Bad: July 2009

Well, this isn’t finished but I at least wanted to get something put on here this week and I’m not quite sure when else I’d get that chance. For those of you not in the “know”, or those that just can’t see what I’m doing in my chicken scratch “art”, I bring you Warlock from one of my favorite books growing up “New Mutants”.

Funny story behind this drawing, over the last weekend I saw a license plate that I swear at first glance said the person was from “Warlock”, Indiana. In truth I was too quick on the jump and sadly the person was from lame Warrick, Indiana.

I plan on further developing this and inking it with brush pen and possibly throwing it in Photoshop and attempting at coloring it. The color scheme with this character is very simple, yellow and black, but I wanted to mess around a bit with the whole “techno-organic” nature of the character. A bit of a throwback to the “Masta!” Bill Sienkiewicz.
Anyway, again tell some friends or whatever about the blog. I need more followers’ damnit! Please, feel free to leave comments, questions, critiques, and whatevas. Thanks for stopping by, and you stay classy San Diego.

Well, this isn’t a post for anything “new” per se. What I’m doing is posting some things I have done over time for either personal or schoolwork. I hope everyone can look at these and see that I won’t be posting just “bad” stuff; sometimes it gets as good as “mediocre”. Below are two acrylic paintings done for school, as well as a pencil portrait of Chino from the ‘Deftones’ done years ago but I still like it and also a portrait done in scratchboard with a Xacto knife. Enjoy or not, but at least leave comments and possibly tell other people.
