More of An American Apocalypse: Cate

I gave myself a challenge on this image:  Don't use any containing lines what-so-ever.  This image was created entirely with black shapes on top of white shapes.  It was an exercise in composition and black and white placement.  I am a huge fan of Chris Samnee who does this type of drawing exquisitely!  So I wanted to give it a shot...not to bad for a first try!

Zombie Sam: We Want Your BRAINS!

This is a promotional piece for an upcoming independent graphic novel being written by a former State Legislator.  This is Uncle Top Hat, or Zombie Sam.  I thought it was an appropriate piece with the current primaries for a Republican nominee and the Florida debate tonight.  Also, this being an election year...

An American Apocalypse: The First Mistake

An American Apocalypse is a politically driven comic based on the few days right after Katrina. It's written by a former Colorado State legislator and provides an alternate reality that gives the mistakes made by those in charge of the clean up efforts after Katrina a proper justice.

More Apocalypse

These two images are more promotional pieces for my latest project. One is a version (may not be final) of the main character and the other is the banner for the website. An American Apocalypse is a story based on Katrina and an alternate history to some of the real people involved.

Nowlan's Captain Marvel

Kevin Nowlan is one of the premiere comic artists currently on the scene of mainstream comics. I was referred to his artwork by Shawn Crystal

who is one of the up and coming, soon to be premiere, comic artists in the world of Marvel currently. Nowlan's blog periodically has pencil sketches available. This is one of those. The inks are mine, the pencils are Kevin's. Enjoy!

A New Project

Not a lot I can say about this project at this time, but it's going to be a fun, entertaining, and wildly political zombie book written by a former Colorado Legislator. These are some initial head sketches for some of the characters.

Paradise Lost: Page 20

Here, Eve tells Adam how amazing he is. Satan listens in on this and when, in the poem, they go into each others arms and perform the act of creation. He leaves to explore more of Eden. He is eventually found and thrown out before he makes his way back in as the serpent and tempts Eve with the apple from the tree of knowledge. This is also, unfortunately, the last page of my thesis. There will be some changes, which I'll post, and I'll put it up lettered and ready to read as well as a post that is the paper that goes along with this, but until then...Courage...and keep moving forward. And stay posted for the lettered version. I may even print a few for give away...we'll see.
