Press Start! (in montreal)

homies! some news!

A show in Montreal called "Press Start!" is happening on Thursday July 8th at Headquarters Galerie & Boutique.

I've given them this painting inspired by my favorite Atari games. It is called "Chowing On Some Breakout"

Go to the show on July 8th!

(i wont be able to go unfortunately, but i'll bet the other patrons will be pretty cool to hang with)

Zombie Book... home stretch...

you guys, i am almost done with this children's book for Simon and Schuster. home stretch. hoping to be done this week. but i figured i would post some process photos for you to check out!

...some washes!

...more washes on the big dance scene!


... some lines on the dance scene!


...here's a little couple in the dance scene.

...some of the vignette pages.


... more of those other pages, you guys.


... here are the first three that i finished! feels good! oh, man!

so yeah, it has been fun working on this deal so far. like doing a bunch of paintings for a show! only this time, it is for a book. but maybe a show, too. who knows how this world works. who can say!

i'll post more when it is done! and when i get the cover figured out.

progress party

hey, everybody. want to see what i am working on? i will show you. i am working on two things (besides top secret Double Fine things):

1. Zombie children's book
2. more Great Showdowns

the zombie book is with Simon and Schuster and it is due quite soon. so i will post progress here and there. the GREAT SHOWDOWNS is an ongoing project... so i will keep doing those... for awhile.. in waves and batches.
and that's pretty much it. but that is enough for now perhaps. i am about to embark into the painting stage on these children's pages.. here are some photo memories thus far..

... sketching and laying out pages for the zombie book in photoshop..


...here are some special scenes. poor guy. rough times for poor guy. a zombie looking for love...



..i've traced all of the drawings onto watercolor paper..

... and started laying in the basic colors. this is the big ball scene. (inspired by Back To The Future)


on the GREAT SHOWDOWNS front, i have done about 40 new ones! they are sitting there chilling out, waiting to be uploaded to the site. a gradual thing.


and that's it for you, you guys! i shall keep you updated, world!
