World at War

I really love the Call of Duty games, especially those set in WWII. I hadn’t been a big fan of FPS games until I tried my first COD but when I did I was hooked. When I got a new PC almost exclusively for gaming I decided to make a custom desktop image for it. So I drew my friend and I in WWII gear with guns at the ready, it gets me in the right mindset for going on a virtual rampage.

Sausage Fest

I went to a party of almost all dudes and was inspired to draw this. Not much else to say about this one except that I wish more parties advertised like this. In my opinion there are just not enough illustrated poster advertising these days.

Going Green

It’s my feeling that the Green Lantern (especially Hal Jordan) wasn’t nearly as badass as his powers were. I mean he could totally f you up with that ring. With the exception of Batman the Justice League heroes just seemed a little to clean-cut, they really needed an anti hero bad boy on the team and that could have been GL. Well here is my rendition of such a man, a costumed hero that won’t take gruff from you or the color yellow!

Nintendo Power

I busted out my old NES the other night and played one of my favorites: Super Mario Bros 2. I only had a handful of NES games when I was a kid and Mario 2 was one of them, needless to say I played the hell out of it. It was only later that I found out the games back-story, that it was originally a game called Doki Doki Panic retrofitted to be a Mario game. Mario 2 still has a special place in my heart and since playing again I’ve had Nintendo on the brain.

What a Wonderful World

I think Wonder Woman is one of the great classic comic book characters. Her outfit and powers are just so ridiculous and awesome that she has to be the best female character in both the Marvel or DC universe. Plus she has the added bonus of being a super hot sexy babe, what’s not to love? I’m still holding out hope that the W.W. movie gets made, she needs and update.

The Biz

When I decided to become a freelance illustrator I didn’t realize how much time I would be spending on the business side of things. I thought it was appropriate that I got to do an illustration on that very subject for Madison Magazine. I had fun on this one because the subject hit close to home and the art director was great to work with. I just can’t say enough good things about my experience with this illustration.

Summer Time Fun

It’s so great to finally have nice weather here in Wisconsin. After a long, hard winter of staying in from the cold it’s great to be getting some exercise in the warm sun. Here is a piece I did a while back for OC Weekly. They were great to work with, I hope to do some more for them again soon.
