Cartoon Portraits now open (at 2016 prices)

So I'm almost caught up on Cartoon Portraits, so I figure it's safe to reopen a few spots, in case anyone wants to order one for a Christmas (or whatever) gift.  But I'll only be taking orders until those spots fill up, or until December 1st.  Here's one I did for my dude Marcus.

Wanna make a comic strip with me?

So I would LOVE to draw your comic strip!

Another Milestone...

I've been doing fan art and commissions since 2001 when i started self-publishing as 1/5th of the mighty GhostWerks crew, but I had never been asked to draw any of the Milestone characters until this Holla Day commission sale, when one of my customers tapped me for this drawing of Hardware, Milestone's flagship character. I just tried to have fun with it. I'm at a point right now where I really enjoy drawing in photoshop... and when people pay me to do it, I like it even better! hope you guys enjoy the the drawing!
peace,

Commission Art of Mythical Proportions!

Commissions are STIIILLLL going!
here's the character designs i did for my friend J.R. LeMar of his character Mythical Man. I drew them with a watercolor marker and tightened it up with a micron and some judicious photoshopping (i actually drew the sword in photoshop). hope y'all like 'em.
if you have any questions, just get at me.

getting my MANGA on...

KaMu by Samax (click to enlarge)
during my Sketch Fundraiser last week, one girl popped up asking for a drawing of her original comicbook character KaMu. it was a nice change of pace, since for the most part, i'm doing fairly realistic portraits for the Sketch Drive. this was particularly fun to draw. i banged it out with a ballpoint pen i stole from my wife. hey! she gaffled it from her job... i just took it back for the black man!

so anyways, lemme know what you think! and if you want one of these, click the Sketch Portrait link on the sidebar (or get a character drawing FREE with purchase of my book Spontaneous, also for sale on the sidebar)
