I'm trying a new format for the blog: I'm gonna show images of things that have affected me over the past week so that you folks can get a better idea of the "negative space" that informs and inspires me. It's a little more conducive to my mode of thinking and hopefully will inspire you, me, and help generally organize my thoughts and communicate to whoever may be tuning in. 'nuff sed.

Fit to melt faces !,,!






Arik Roper just melted mine! I really dig Fillmore posters from the sixties, and Arik just takes them and gives it a mean Frazetta punch with a hint of Alan Lee fantasy colors. Amazing typography mixes with rad stoner rock imagery to make a pretty effective brew. Definitely something to enjoy!

Stroke of (a) genius





So I've been trying to bone up on my inking skills lately, and so I've been scouring the interwebs for new, different pen/brush techniques to little avail. And, lo, I stumbled on an artist that at once melted my face off with awesomness! While reading Proof, there was a secondary story drawn and inked by one Connor Willumsen that reminded me of Paul Pope's style, yet very unique.
At any rate I was thoroughly impressed by his body of work that includes comics and some definitely boss illustration work. And he's a spring chicken at only 22! That makes me feel all old and stuff :3 An inspiration for sheezy!
