Just finished coloring my latest piece (although I actually sketched this about 5 years ago on a city bus on the way home from art school), and it’s looking pretty good.
My original thought on this as I drew it was that this guy needed a big frickin’ gun. No, wait.. a HUGE frickin’ gun! The kind that would, in no way, be able to be supported by his weight alone. In fact, the gun-to-guy weight ratio balance would be off so badly that he would be lying on his back in about a second. But, this isn’t real life, and nothing even says this is an illustration of anything from our universe so maybe he’s on another planet or something. Yeah, that’s it..
Overall, I’m happy with the way this turned out. I originally didn’t plan on adding in the smoke or spark effects, but I thought it needed something more so I started playing around with smoke and that eventually led to a much larger idea: the character seems to be literally ripping apart or on the verge of exploding. Very cool.
I’m working on improving my coloring speed and overall composition, so hopefully you’ll enjoy this latest addition to my illustration/print portfolio.
You can view the work in detail and purchase prints either at my DeviantART Print Shop, or my RedBubble Store. Enjoy!
After gaining print permission from the gracious Amminopurr, my new wallpaper The Moment is now available as a print.
You can purchase a print one of two ways, through my DeviantART Print Shop or through my Print Shop on RedBubble. I’m looking forward to making more designs like this in the future as I’m really happy with the way this one turned out. I’ll keep you posted on upcoming and new art as always, so stay tuned and spread the word.
After some serious thought, I’ve updated the layout of this blog a little and added in some new features as well. Since I joined the art community over at RedBubble about a month ago, I’ve really grown to love the layout and community of the site. I’ve made some friends and gotten some great reviews on my work, and that’s good because positive feedback and expression really does help an artist maintain and continue to work on new things. Without that positive feedback, it’s hard to find motivation sometimes and really work to get new art out there. That said, thanks a ton to RedBubble for your great community site.
With the addition of RedBubble in my life, I’ve found a great tool to display my art and allow people to easily purchase works so I added that to the sidebar of this blog. Not too sure how that will affect traffic, but hopefully people will see my work and enjoy it.

You’ll also notice affiliate links for sites such as FlashDen, StickerJunkie, and to the book How to be a Rockstar Freelancer. These are sites and products that have influenced my work and they really are great tools for anyone working in the design industry. There will be more to come as I’m finding that I enjoy promoting these tools that help me, hopefully I can pass on this information I’ve found and eventually help other designers out.
I’ve been working on a bunch of new projects recently that have kept me very, very busy. A few websites will be launching soon, so I’m excited about that. I also have a few personal projects that I need to keep secretive at this point but will hopefully become fruitful upon their exposure to the outside world. Keep checking back, I’ll be posting more and more in the months to come.
Well, that was quick.. I’m a bit flustered. 
Thanks for featuring my artwork, RedBubble!

My first Zombie-related illustration (hard to believe I know), but definitely not my last. You can view it on my DeviantART account or my RedBubble account.
My illustration The Back was featured in the art community RedBubble’s main gallery this weekend. Thanks!
You can visit my artwork area and see what I have to show, they also have a Print Shop setup as well.
