"The Brother" Returns (again)...

"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...

"Some Bald Joker..."

This is a commission from a client on Elance who is creating superhero/portrait mashups of a bunch of his employees. It might lead to more work, so don't be too surprised to see more of these...

As you may know, I was commissioned to do a tee-shirt design for one of my favorite emcees, Playdough of the mighty Deepspace 5 crew, to coincide with the release of his new album Hotdoggin'...

did I mention STAPLE was AWESOME? Well, yeah... it was!

I had a blast at STAPLE indie media expo in Austin, TX. Here's photo of me drawing Taskmaster for a commission (I make a lotta my con money from commissions). I didn't bring a camera, so this
