Gentleman and Lady Zombie

I'd forgotten about these two pieces. These were done for lenticular sticker sets under the Recollections name and available at Michael's craft stores. At least they were around Halloween.  

They changed from a normal image of an 1800's gentleman and woman to these rotted versions. There were two other images that went along with these, one of a young girl and the other a carriage driver and his horse, which both became skeletons. These were fun to work on. I used actual 19th century public domain daguerreotypes, that I worked on in Photoshop with textures and painting.

 One of these days I'll post the additional images along with the sticker set.

Mordreder

Another random monster sketch.



Star Skull

Just a random sketch.





Gill Grunt

I did this sketch for my nephew on Christmas day. It's of the Skylanders video game character Gill Grunt. I drew it from 'life'...haha...well, from a small figurine/interactive toy piece that you use in conjunction with the video game.  I think I may have to pick him up myself, now!



The Grumble Monster

Here's the second of the two sketch commission rewards I did for Science's Indiegogo fundraising campaign.



The Roaming Eye

A few months back a friend of mine, Alexander Paul, the lead songwriter and singer/bassist in the band Science, asked me if I'd help out their Indiegogo campaign, trying to raise funds for a touring van. So, I said sure. 

Here's the first of two commission sketches that a couple of fans picked up. One asked for a robot, the other a monster. Here's the robot! The sketches were originally to be sketchcards, but I couldn't locate my pack of blanks, so decided to go a little more detailed and drew these on 6 x 6 toned paper (which I had cut down from a 12 x 12 sheet).

Gouache Whales

I was asked to do painted whales (and sharks!) for a freelance assignment. These will be used in a print for kids swimwear.
