Last week was NBC's "Green Week." Giant media corporation goes green...yeh mmhum. I found a funny quote from Greg Daniels of "The Office" about the week- "We're a paper company, so we're really in trouble." Even better than that, Bill Lawrence (creator of "SCRUBS") quickly chimed in, "Maybe we should just all turn off our TV?" to help.

Egg on your face.

October Sketch

2007-10-09T14:34:00.000-07:00

*EDIT*
Here is the original sketch:

Grandson: Grampa I just saw a 15 foot eggplant over there!!!
Grandpa: Oh really!?

So, I originally did this in full color. It works fine this way, but I wanted a much warmer feel to go with the October/Fall theme. I decided to go with a monotone color scheme of orange/gray/brown for the final result.

The Cryptics pin-up

Finished pin-up (photoshop)

Final drawing

Some crappy prelim sketches.

Original Cast of Cryptics characters.

Its October, a time to draw creepy little monsters and ghosts. So, why not a contest to do some pin-up art for the Cryptics comics, if you win you get some cash-ola and put in their next volume. The Cryptics comix are funny, they are about all our fav monsters as kids, doing kid things...like playing football, paintball and uh, um ...going to hell and back through black holes. I decided to enter.

Over at Mtv.com they have a HAT(Header Art Treatment) for the website, it changes each time you go to the site. They are giving artist the chance to design one. So I did. Here it is.

Sorry I got to do it. The POPGUN Vol. 1 will be out in stores and available at Amazon and other fine comic retailers online in November. I have two stories in there. " The first PopGun Comics Anthology is well over 500 pages and it's a
beast. The idea behind the book is an anthology that appeals to a
wide market. There are no safe anthology stories here, and PopGun has
a real life and a pulse to it. PopGun screams rock 'n roll, Andy
Warhol, super spies, rocket packs, grindhouse flicks, vinyl records,
old comics that time forgot. In a way, the book is a love letter to
everything we love about pop art - comics, records, movies, etc.
PopGun is a four color mixtape for the planet to plug into and come
out realizing comics are part of the larger pop art spectrum."

Luna Roca- TEST

2007-10-01T13:11:00.000-07:00

I made this blog to showcase my sketches, doodles, process and sketchbook pages. Also 2 talk about other artist's work that influence my own, and other tasty morsels of artistic nourishment. So this blog is pretty much a corner to shove all my thoughts and sketches into.
