It was fantastic seeing everyones excitement as they picked up their copies of Boundless and brought them to the creative to have them signed. Such a great feeling having the community come together an support this benefit comic for cancer research and treatment.
A HUGE THANK YOU! to everyone that came out to celebrate Boundless Day!!
This Saturday, September 7, 2019 is Boundless Day. I will be at Horizon Comics with other creators from 9am-noon for the book signing. It’s an amazing and an honor to be part of a project that takes your talents and abilities to help the world. Art has always been about healing and the way it touches the lives of individuals at the core of their being for me. My dad passed from cancer, so this comic definitely resonates with me on so many deep personal levels. If you have some time, come out a pick up this comic and helping others to heal and thrive. Horizon will be open from 9am-4pm if you can’t make it during the creators signing time.
Thanks for your love and support!
Excited to share with you, I have three pieces of artwork in the Generations Art Exhibit. They will be on display at Legacy Commons and the Palmdale Playhouse from, August 23 through October 7, 2019.
Here is progress shot 3 for this Flashpoint Joker Sketch Cover. I started by working on the right side collar first. From there, I moved onto rendering the rest of the right side purple areas. Next, I moved onto the left side until all the purple areas were complete. I continued to use dry brush technique for the trench coat. The dry brush technique brings out shapes and textures while dragging the paint across the paper. Rendered with Faber-Castell PITT artist pens and Liquitex paint.
Here is a little more progress on this Flashpoint Joker Sketch Cover. For this stage, I stared with the face. Stared off with the eyes and moved onto the nose. Next up was painting the the cheeks, frown lines and the eyebrows. From there finished the face area by rendering the mouth. Once the face area was complete I moved on to the trench coat. The beginning purple was rendered with mainly dry brush technique of pulling the across the paper to achieve the material look and feel. Rendering Faber-Castell PITT artist pens and Liquitex Paint.
Slowly making a little more progress on this sketch cover between various projects. On this progress stage, I moved on to rendering the the face area with dry brush technique to create the symbiote texture.
This Saturday, I will be at the El Gallo Plaza for the East LA CAPE. I will have original art, custom sketch covers, custom shoes, prints, and my indie comic magazine & apparel at my table.
Here is Doctor Doom Sketch Cover painting stage 02. For this stage, I continued working on the metal areas and the eyes of this sketch cover. Stared stage 02 by finishing up the eyes. Then, I moved on the metal areas by going back and forth with dry brush blending of the various tones of the metal. Rendering with Faber-Castell Pitt artist pens and Liquitex paint.
Captain Marvel donation art painting stage 06 for the PADRE Foundation Fashion Show silent auction happening Saturday, May 11, 2019. Finished up all the gold areas and started on the hair. Continued rendering with Faber-Castell PITT artist pens and Liquitex paint.
