A kiss in the rain
Here's one I've done that is really not my style, i don't know what got into me. I guess i just wanted to try and do something a little more trendy & simple, just to see if I could do it. I tend to over do things sometimes & its good to try something different to take you out of your comfort zone. To be honest, I really don't like this one that much, but some people do....to each his own. 18x24 ink, conte, & watercolor on watercolor paper.

Against The Wall
My brother gave me a brush pen, a few weeks ago & I've gone completely bat$hit with it. Its almost completely out of ink & I have to get some refills. Luckily I found a place who carries them. Tho only reason I mention that is because all of the fine details on this picture are done with that pen. 18x24 ink, acrylic & watercolor.

The Father
Had a very cool meeting with the executives of a store called geeky mamma's at their cerritos mall location. A really awesome store full of toys, collectables, artwork , but they also have a wide selection of handmade goods, which is really cool. What really sets them apart is that they also have a selection of things for women, Which is great by the way, because how many times have you been standing there drooling over toys, comics, video games, or artwork & you turn around & see your girl just giving you the look! I've been there too many times, but at geeky mammas she can kinda wander off in her own direction. I'm going to be doing some custom hand painted t-shirts & bags, such as the one shown here. Also, some custom chucks, photoprints & original paintings. I think the collaboration will be very fun! This location is still new, & so is the website but If you have a chance check it out @

A Geek At Heart
Did this one for all the geeks. I wanted to do something bright, instead of my usual dark palette. Its a weird looking heart with arms, & tentacles bursting from the bottom & a giant eyeball bursting from the top. One hand is doing the live long & prosper symbol, while the other is holding a ray gun. he's got a Nintendo controller coming out from behind him & he's standing on a couple of comic books. Its kinda like a nerds version of a sacred heart. what this picture means to me is that no matter how old you get, or what your into, you can always be a geek at heart. 8x10 watercolor on watercolor paper.

Bael
This is a picture I drew based on the scriptural demon bael, or baal. 8x10 in pencil. To the right is the symbol of this demon.
BAEL.--The First Principal Spirit is a King ruling in the East, called Bael. He maketh thee to go Invisible. He ruleth over 66 Legions of Infernal Spirits. He appeareth in divers shapes, sometimes like a Cat, sometimes like a Toad, and sometimes like a Man, and sometimes all these forms at once. He speaketh hoarsely. This is his character which is used to be worn as a Lamen before him who calleth him forth, or else he will not do thee homage.

Christian
Here's a pencil sketch I did, while in san francisco. I Had this idea of a demon that was very quiet, didn't say a word, but always had this entourage of baby-like demon brood following him. very loud, snarling & drooling. the main figure just looks upon them with a smile in admiration.

The Old Buzzard
Hello again. Here's a picture I did of " The Old Buzzard" In pencil - 8x10. I Like this one because its kind of ironic. A creature who feeds of the dead, which is dead itself. I plan on doing another one of a dead buzzard picking at itself.

My Green Hell
Here is a digital painting that I did in photoshop 7, for a skateboard design. I've included a close up pic so you can see a bit of the detail. If I could imagine some type of hell, then this would be a pretty nasty one to be in. It took a long time, used plenty of photo references. I,m not too good at digital painting & this is one of my first. let me know what you think.

Hell's Ventriloquist
I've been Posting A lot of marker sketches, so I thought I'd mix it up & post a pencil drawing I did, with a back story, That I call Hell's Ventriloquist. Its 8x10, pencil & colored pencil, that I scanned into illustrator & cleaned up for a tshirt design. It was inspired by a story I once was told, that was used to scare little children into behaving.
There was once a brilliant Ventriloquist in the 1800's named Compari. He was an amazing performer, who loved his art. The only thing Compari loved more ,was children, so he would fashion his dolls after the little children he entertained. You see, he was a very homely & shy man, and a very lonely one, who could never have children of his own. But when he performed, children would come from all around to see Compari & he couldn't be happier. As his success grew so did his notoriety, which brought more attention to the fact that wherever the ventriloquist went, child disappearances seemed to increase as well. When they finally had Compari hanged, they found the bodies of 66 children underneath the floorboards of his house, as well as 10-15 more in a ditch behind his home. All of them found with a rusty nail lodged into the temple of the tiny skulls. Compari never uttered a word to the authorities even when they snapped his neck.
The stories say that Compari still practices his art in hell. Whenever spoiled little boys & girls are awful to their parents & misbehave, Compari rises up from Hell & snatches there souls in the night. The little boys & girls are dragged down & trapped in the hollow bodies of The ventriloquists dolls. There they follow Compari's every order as he performs his nightly show to entertain the hordes in hell, for all of eternity.
