Silas

In the story the young boy is raised by the ghosts of the graveyard. Someone still has to go out into the world and get food and clothing for the boy. That job fell to Silas. He is the caretaker of the graveyard, and he provides food and whatever other physical necessities are necessary.
Enjoy.

Graveyard Book

Recently I read a really really awesome book, The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. I absolutely loved it. It's about a boy who is orphaned as a small baby and subsequently raised in a graveyard by all the ghosts and what not that live there. It was so much fun that I decided to design some characters from the book as practice. This first one is Mr. Owens. When the young boy is first brought to the graveyard the Owenes are the ones to adopt the small child. Plenty more of these to come. enjoy.

Face

You decide what this is. It was fun. Enjoy.

Dino's!

I was finally able to sit back a just do a bunch of art this weekend and it felt really good. Mostly did alot of sketching just to loosen myself up. It was nice to sit and draw stuff that wasn't work related and that I could show around. I did these dino sketches Saturday night and I liked the stegosaurus so much I decided to have some fun and paint him up on sunday. The painting went really quick and only took me 2-3 hours. I need to do more stuff like this. Enjoy.

Church Dragon

Sketched alot at church yesterday. Of the things I sketched this was the one that I was really rather pleased with. Might color this guy up. I think he deserves it. Enjoy.

Monster Boy

Just something I did real quick on my computer. He kind of looks like a bunch of paint cans threw up on him, and I kind of like it that way. nothing special here. Just playing around. enjoy.

Ninja Monkey

This is a new project that I wanted to play with. I painted a "Munny" figure that I ordered blank as a birthday present for my little brother, Drew, who just turned 14. Enjoy.

More Faces

Just some more faces while at church. Enjoy.

Sketch dump

Here's a bunch of church sketches. Sorry there isn't more stuff for ya'll. I'm working on it. Enjoy.

Just some quick sketches

Went to dinner last night with some friends. Had a great time and couldn't help but do a little drawing. It was fun. It seems as though I don't have as much time these days to just sketch something totally for me. Everything I draw it seems has a purpose. Something I do for work, something I draw for the comic strip, something I draw for a painting for something or someone. These were for me. And it was fun. The bottom of the two I drew up and then a friend of mine colored it with water color pencils and some strawberry lemonade for water. He's got a blog that you should check out. He's got some great stuff. Go to wilsonillustration.blogspot.com .Good times had by all. Enjoy.

Romeo and Juliet

I went to my brother's wedding this past weekend. Everything went great. Fun times had by all. I wanted to paint my brother and (now) sister in law something for their wedding. They asked if I could paint them as Romeo and Juliet (they met on a production of said play). This is what they ended up with. I'm pretty pleased with it. Enjoy.

Rhino

Just a quick sketch of a rhino. gotta do something for the blog every now and then. Enjoy.

Batman!

I'm so excited to see Batman tomorrow! This sketch isn't anything great, but it was fun to do. Maybe I'll do another after I see the movie. enjoy.

ZOMBRE!

This was an idea my friend Isaac had. He's a mexican day of the dead zombie. The spanish word for man is hombre so if he got bitten by a zombie he would become a ZOMBRE! Enjoy.

Owl

Just a quick sketch on the cintiq. enjoy.

Blues Guitarist

Did this piece a little while back and just plain forgot to post it. It was an image that came into my head that I really liked. This is the guy who traded his soul to the devil to play a mean guitar (you know the story). I wanted to get him hitting a particularly great note. I also like the colors on this one. I would love to do a few more kind of like this with a different color scheme, but who knows if I'll ever get around to it. Enjoy.

Inquisitor

Here's another piece of art I did from the Mistborn books. This guys an Inquisitor. He's bad news. The tatoos on the side of his face are taken from the designs my friend Isaac did for the books. Enjoy.

Dragon Head

Here's a sketch from church yesterday. For some reason I draw alot of dragons. Not quite sure why. Oh well. Enjoy.

Rocket Road Trip

Hey everyone. This is something I've been sitting on for awhile. I made a webcomic. I've actually been on it for about 5 months now. It's been alot of fun but I didn't want to post much about it till I had done enough of them that I was sure I would keep doing it. Most people who start doing webcomics end up doing like 5 of them and then quitting and never coming back. I wanted to do it long enough that I felt semi comfortable with it and had enough to share with eveyone. that being said here it is. Me and a friend of mine at work, Isaac Stewart are writing it and then I draw it up give it to him and he adds the text and throws it up online. You can find them all at rocketroadtrip.com . I suggest going back to the begining of the strip and reading through. Some of the stories are sequential in nature and I think it reads better that way. Enjoy.

Koloss

Did this piece a little while back. It was for a friend of mine who is an author named Brandon Sanderson. This is one of the creatures in his Mistborn series (which totally rocks by the way). I had started doing some sketches that were a bit more realistic (the books are serious in nature not silly like my drawings) but I quickly figured out that I should just stick to my strengths and draw a koloss my own way. It was alot of fun. I've got a few more like this one coming up soon. Brandon's books rock by the way. You should go check them out or check out his website where he has tons of free downloads and cool stuff. brandonsanderson.com Enjoy.
