A few words about the whole "Black March" thing...

ummm... no.

Okay, so one of my fellow artists on Google + posted this promo for Black March, the SOPA/PIPA- inspired  mass boycott of movies, music, downloads, and the media industry at large. I somehow managed to not know about Black March until today, and I typed out the response below in his comments section, but then chose not to post it.

Work (still) in Progress...

This is a drawing I did for a flyer I'm working on. The client basically gave me the freedom to do whatever I wanted, and I've been making it a lot harder than it needed to be...

I did some artwork for indie director Danny Hidalgo of the mighty Spirit Juice Studios crew. I drew all the figures separately on paper, then composited and colored it in Photoshop. Peep the process and final results below...

Sketch to Tracklist: My Wed, White and Wu artwork.

original sketch, ball point pen

One of my favorite rappers- Playdough of Deepspace 5, Phonetic Composition, and Ill Harmonics- approached me to do cover art for his mixtape collabo with worship crooner Heath McNease (don't sleep, dude can rap his tail off as well)... "We were talking about album artwork," he said in the email, "and all I could think of was you. I know you're a long time head and have Wu history without even asking. You'd smash the kung-fu, hiphop, comic book rawness we need. You would be perfect for this and I'd love to have you do the artwork." He laid out how much they were looking to pay, and it was music to my ears... So it wasn't long before I started sketching...

"The Brother" Returns (again)...

Peep a "work in progress" view of The Brother below...

"The Brother" returns...

If you're one of the people who got all excited about the commissioned piece I did of Jay Kelley's creation The Brother, you'll be glad to see these sketches. Jay was impressed by all the folks asking for a comic book featuring the dapper time traveler, and he started working on some scripts, and asked me to work with him on it...  Meanwhile, he commissioned me to do a hero shot type pinup of the character in action, so I started sketching...
