My cover for Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake: Issue #3!!! SO EXCITING! If you’re sitting there being like, “hey, that looks familiar,” you’re right! It’s a parody of the famous Conan the Barbarian cover done by the almighty Frank Frazetta. Thanx to AD Adam Staffaroni of Boom! Studios and, of course, Fionna/Cake creator Natasha Allegri. Go pick one up at your local comic shop around mid-January!

Long time no see, blog! Sorry to be absent for so long, but sometimes life happens! I have a couple of cool updates! I've been working freelance at Rockstar Games drawing really, really silly cartoons for them! Which is awesome, except that since the game hasn't been released, they are TOP SECRET! In the mean time, check out some other stuff I've been working on!

King of Swords

This is for Light Grey Art Lab’s Tarot, Mystics and the Occult Exhibition! My card was the King of Swords! I’ve been really into tarot stuff recently, and soon (hopefully) I can reveal another tarot-based illustration!

If you’re around when the show opens in October, you should stop by! You can buy prints of all the awesome cards drawn by amazing artists, and Light Grey Art Lab is now offering preorders for the show's tarot deck! It's got 78 beautifully illustrated cards from amaaaaaazing artists, it's seriously gonna be the best! It also comes with instructions so you, too, can read fortunes out of the back of a wagon!

PREORDER!!!

This is my drawing of Pidgeot for the Light Grey Art Lab's Pokemon Battle Royale! Big props to my gurl Alyssa for putting the show together! STORY TIME So I love Pidgeot. I bought a (totally sweet see-through) Game Boy pocket with all the allowance money I had when I was a kid, along with Pokemon Blue. My first pokémon was a Pidgey, and it stayed on my team through the entire game. My Pidgeot helped me beat the Elite Four and battled against Mewtwo! It may be a Normal type pokémon, but I always thought that Pidgeot was so cool and strong and elegant! You don't gotta have fancy moves to kick butt and take names!

The Hunt For the Seven Gentlemen

For Fantasy Art we did covers for fake novels, which was pretty cool. We teamed up with kids from Washington University taught by John Hendrix for critique time on Facebook every week. I figure that since this was such a critique-baased process, I'll show a little of the work that went into picking an image.

Thumbnails:

I obviously am an amazing and talented person, as you can tell by that last beautifully thought-through thumbnail on the second page.

Next some larger sketches for 3 I liked:


Aaaaand the final! A lot changed!

The Encounter

"He had heard the door handle rattling and flipped the light switch. She had hoped to sneak back inside unnoticed. Her lip rouge was worn and her cheeks were flushed. "You're standing really close to me," she said nervously."
