I'm guessing I didn't win the Miho Hatori contest...

Oh well. At least I entered. That's something. Here's some more art by me that has nothing to do with Miho Hatori:

I entered the Miho Hatori T-Shirt Contest at Brickfish!

Here's my entry... in color and B&W:





I've seen the other entries, of course, and some of them are much better than mine. Still, I like it. My yardstick is, "Would I wear this on a tshirt," and I have to admit... yes, I would.

I sold yet another Kenny tee...

Wow. That's like 3 in a week. Nice. This is the blog that got no love from anyone. So I'm celebrating its Oliver Twistness by posting this picture:



An ugly drawring of ugly high school kids from the 1980s.

And My Favorite...

And once again, no she's not anyone you know. Pencil drawing, scanned, "inked" in Illustrator, then taken into Photoshop and digitally airbrushed. She's a sort of half-assed Bruce Timm rip-off with coloring badly copied from and inspired by some Spumco stuff.

Now that I've seen some of the Golden Book art, I might approach this drawing differently if I were to re-do it. But I'm not going to. I want to work on new things. I'm not destined for a job in the animation industry, it seems.

But I can still create my own comic book stories and illustrate them.

A Double Shot of Your Bat-Boy's Love...

This was my initial drawing:



Then I scanned it and fooled around with it in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop until I got this:

More sales at CafePress!

I've sold 11 shirts on CafePress this year. At this rate, I'll receive a commission check sometime in early 2008. The bulk of them have been this shirt:



I get $1.00 a pop. And actually, I've sold 2 shirts in one week. Which is my new all-time record! The other shirt that sold this week was a girly-girl shirt for the womanly lady type fashionista chick:

My Spock Characterization is Spot On!

This was done as a sketch, scanned, opened in Adobe Illustrator then painstakingly "inked" to have a slick, cold finish. Impersonal. Sort of clip art-ish, the artist's hand seemingly removed. I was into that then.

It's an outgrowth of a non-digital inking style I was using in graphic design at UGA, especially on some stuff in my Concepts class. I was never happy with my shaky hands, though.

Colored in Photoshop. I was into flat colors as well.
