2015 wrap up and plans for 2016

I secretly gave myself a goal of 100 completed pages of art for 2015. This was to be cover art, illustrated story pages and original artwork advertisements. This goal did not include con sketches, commissions, and doodles. I knew it was a giant goal considering I have a full time job and other responsibilities, so I wan't surprised that I came up short. A list of my completed art pages are as follows:

3 Ads featuring new artwork (in color)
3 Comic Book Covers (in color)
45 Comic Book pages (penciled, inked)
8 Comic Book Pages (penciled only)

59 total.

I have the same goal of 100 pages/covers and ads for 2016. I'm hoping to get much closer this year although I will have added distractions. I have resumed producing royalty free stock vector illustrations for iStock, opened a store at Society6, and started doing a little almost daily drawing project. More on the last two on future posts. In order to facilitate drawing more I have finally laid to rest the Earth 2 Program of which I was the host but the Earth 2 Network thrives without me. Check out the shows there, it's a lot of talented cats doing what they love.

Here's some art as well, some I've posted here, some I haven't.

Enjoy.

Thanks for reading, as always I appreciate any and all support.

A fun little piece that I did after completing b-one #9. It was a rare issue that had no appearance of "The Grasshopper" so of course I had a hankerin' to draw him/her/it.

The Fly 1958 style.
8"x14"
Ink on Bristol.

I've always loved the 1986 The Fly, and had recently watched the 1958 version. Something always drew me to these movies, more than just the horror aspects. As an adult I realize that it's the completely doomed love story of both. I seem to gravitate to "fucked up love stories" without realizing it. Something in the subconscious I suppose. I wanted this one to be looking at his wedding ring, contemplating the end of his marriage. In the movie of course the left hand is transformed and his right just has a regular ring, but I'm exercising what they call artistic license here. He's wearing his wedding ring on the right hand, because the left is no longer a viable option. Hey looka me, I'm romantic!

There was a little hiccup in the delivery of the Thor for the charity art auction and was not included there. Unfortunatly it's come back to me. I've decided to add it to my storenvy shop.

slurmo.storenvy.com/

I know that I haven't posted anything in quite a while. I've just completed all the interiors to b-one #8 ! It won't be long until the issue is available for purchase! Once that is complete I'll have more time to post illustrations and comics here. 

Thanks for the support,

Seems like it has been a while since I posted. Lots of behind the scenes work on I.C.E. (Indie Comix Expo) as announced by KBP this week. I'm also working on cover and design work for a new, not yet unannounced series, plus the usual progress on the next issue of b-one. So what am I doing posting here, instead of working there? Well Jon Westhoff is involved with a nonprofit charity auction and I did this piece for them. A fun distraction from the grind. Hope ya'll dig it.
