Waiting for Paint to dry

I'm waiting for my latest comic page to dry so I can add text and gutters on the computer...
wanna see?
Okay here...

This is the full page, all messy and gross. 

Close up of the two panels I think turned out the bestest

Ordered new moo cards!

Guruubii and I have just placed an order for 200 minicards from moo.com! The  image there is but a small taste of some of my personal cards that will be in it.
The one side is going to have the website and then the other side will be a variety of different images.  With Moo you can have up to 100 different images in each order, so guruu made 50 and I made 50 so we'll get 2 of every one we made each.  I think they are nifty.

Anyway, fun times, I cant wait till they arrive.

Comic Creator Alliance is live

I'm a little late but theres still time...

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” -Margaret Mead

Tuesday, January 11th is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. In honor of the event, I teamed up with the Comic Creator’s Alliance–a group of over 100 comic book creators (both web and print!) who volunteered our artistic talents to raise money and awareness for this cause. You may not know it, but there are currently 27 million enslaved people worldwide- more than double the number of enslaved Africans during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. UNICEF estimates that 1.2 million children every year are sold into slavery, most of it sexual. The US Department of

Justice estimates 16,000 victims of human trafficking are brought into the United States every year. Unlike slavery in the 19th century, what is happening today is happening in secret. It won’t end until awareness is raised, and people like you and me take a stand.

So here’s what we did: each creator contributed an original drawing of one of our own female characters, and combined them into a single image! This year's theme was "The Brady Bunch." There is so much going on in this image--you can look at the wallpaper for a long time and still find something new! All of the artists included in the drive are amazing and some of the fan favorites are: Scott Sava (The Dreamland Chronicles), Adam Hughes (Star Wars, Wonder Woman), Sarah Ellerton (Inverloch), Bryan Glass & Victor Santos (Mice Templar), Beau Smith (Wynonna Earp: The Yeti Wars), Billy Tucci (Shi), Mookie (Dominic Deegan), Crystal Yates (Earthsong), Lora Innes (The Dreamer), Thom Zahler (Love and Capes), and Alison Action (Bear Nuts). View the full listing of contributors here: http://comicalliance.weebly.com/the-people.html.

Donate today to download this unique, once-in-a-lifetime wallpaper. Or, this year you can buy a print! The Donations Drive will last for two weeks, from January 11th – 24th. All proceeds will be split evenly between Love 146 and Gracehaven House- two organizations working on rehabilitation of victims and prev

ention of this crime.

Here is a small preview of the wallpaper

First arts of 2011

I got my new National Geographic for February and there was a neat cave photo in there, so I decided to do a loose watercolour of it. I need to warm up, because I havent been making art for a couple weeks and I need to get back in the groove to get Daqueran pages going again but I'm having trouble. I was a lovely cave, with rain pouring downa dn mist, with rocks and moss .. anyway, my versions pretty abstract, but I was just foolin.

Watercolours and Iridescent medium on Bamboo paper

Happy New year everyone.

sweet!

This is probably the best compliment I ever got, Steve Rolston used my comic page I made in his comic course on his 2011 flyer!

See my page right there on the bottom right above my name. Well, I think it's pretty awesome. BTW, you should take that course. 

Also, GK Studios is going to be represented at the January 16th Vancouver Comiccon. I have a poster here for you.

Finished art

Finished my painting, wasn't as good as I hoped but whatever, it is what it is.

Watercolours

Work in Progress

Working on some art that ISN'T a comic page is rare, so it's real nice to be able to do. What with winter coming and all, I did a wintery image of Iada and Unicorn.

Its far from done, I've only painted about an hour, but I thought I'd make use of my blog and post some work in progress shots.
Especially since the process is a bit strange, especially on her coat.

I cropped out a lot of the background, but it hasn't been painted yet anyway.

Close up of Iada's face, I inked it all in grey except for her hair, which I inked in Wine coloured multiliner

Yes, of course it's watercolours.
