ALL OUT WAR!!!

2012-01-27T18:17:00.000-05:00

Check out this video i did of our ridiculous drinking habit's. I did this because i really just wanted to play with adobe premiere, i would love to work on Final Cut Pro but that shit ain't cheep sir. the music is my friends band Bridge Burner from Erie (814 represent, lol) you can find more of their music on the old myspace, yeah remember that site? at www.myspace.com/bridgeburnerz I'm going to try and do some more videos like this of stuff i have one i'm working of my dog, because she's awesome and easy to film. hope to start shooting that at some point,m but either way check out the vid and pop on over to my youtube channel i have a few more videos of my friends bands up and some of mine... Enjoy!

Some things and Stuff to look at.

2012-01-27T00:50:00.000-05:00

So i've been really, really, i mean really lazy with posting new stuff, it's been pretty bad. So i decided to just throw everything i could up on the page and let everyone just go at it. It seems like an over load and i'm sure some of them may have been uploaded before. I've been in love with my Copic Markers as of late and really like how they've made me think a bit different about my color choices, these markers are fantastic, as far as my ability to use them i feel that gets better every time i start laying the ink on the paper. the shops been pretty dead so i've had the time to work on some new pieces.

I know before to long arts and drafts will be happening i'm going to try and have a bunch of print available and a few original things as well, not really going to try and have much digital stuff this time around i don't think the majority of people at a show like that understand the process of what goes into the digital color stuff like the line work and blacks being done by hand and the color and effects in photoshop, plus it makes it hard to sell original pieces that way, as soon as i hear a solid date on the show i'll post it up.

I'm going to try and get back into doing a daily drawing thing again, and the only real reason i haven't is because i've abandoned my PC laptop all together for my iPad and as much as i love my iPad, blogger really hates iOS so posting pictures is a pain in the ass. but i'm sure they are working on a fix. so i hope you enjoy the update and i'll be posting more soon and as always comments are more then welcome so leave me some and let me know you were here.

Huge Art update! 2012! Just art no talk.

Tattoo Stuff

2011-09-20T13:24:00.000-04:00

So been kicking around the idea of throwing a together a sketchbook for my personal art and my tattooing stuff, i'm getting pretty bored tattooing "Bud lite" symboles on people and baby daddy's nameses, oh and you got to love the "I want my kids names on my arm"tattoo's... whatever people have been seeing on the tattoo shows. So i wanted to give people more options at least when it comes from me anyway, some things i would like to tattoo, it's no fun being a copy machine. So below are a few flash pages i'm working on. I have 6 all together right now, 2 Done and the rest need the black work and Color. i'll be adding more pages over the next few months, winter is fast approaching and the Shop is gonna die out. So i feel i'm going to have a lot of time on my hands over the few months or so, i say that now and watch i'll be busy as all holy hell... lol, we'll see. Anyway the images you see are on 9x12 Smooth bristol, with Copic Multiliners, prizmacolor Colored pencils and watercolor for the background, Enjoy!

Where did Daily Drawing 3 go?

2011-09-15T02:04:00.000-04:00

Where did Daily Drawing 3 go? and why hasn't the posting been more regular like you said? and why do i think anyone cares? ah, anyway enough of me talking to myself... hummm... right?! I was out of town in a Cabin in the woods( No, no relation to the Joss Whedons film coming out before the Avengers. But odsly enough we could have filmed a cool zombie scene there, some great fog at night) with little to no internet access, drinking a lot and listening to Johnny Cash for 4 days, thats way, plus being a horrible person dosen't help. But I'm back and got some new quick updates on some drawings. I was in Columbus Ohio and Stopped by a "Dick Blick" art supply store because Erie Doesn't have any real art stores, sure we have a Michaels and an AC Moore, but that's nothing compared to a real Art Store so whenever im 4 hours away i need to stop by and refill the supplies.

I've been struggling with pens lately, Microns just dry up to fast and their tips fray, So i switched to their Sakura Line, but they bleed and the tips fray. So i went back to some older PrizmaColor liners, they worked well but weren't black enough. by this time i was geting frustrated every Pens i touched Just didn't want to work, i started thinking it was me. I then grabbed my Wife's set of Faber Castle liners, and they worked really well. So i thought to myself i'm going to grab my own set, until i saw Copic made a set of Liners, while out of town and me being blown away by their Markers took a chance on them and dropped $22 on a set, and love them, love them, so much. they are So smooth even on Rough paper, the lines stay tight and wisp out evenly i can't say enough good stuff about them.

Below is what i did last week, i colored that Raphael, with some new Copic Sketch Markers and Some Microns, wish i had my Copic multiliners then but either way. Also once i got home from the Drink-A-Thon i had to try out then new toys and drew up a quick Zombie head, who dosen't love the undead. Either way this post has gone on long enough, enjoy and i'll have more soonish!

Daily Drawing Pt4: More ZOMBIES!!!

2011-09-07T22:47:00.000-04:00

Ok So this took way longer to upload then normal, i guess blogger has made some "improvements" that need improving, anyway... Its funny when you look back at drawings your started over a year ago and never finished, and this is one of those lovely drawings. Started in the fall of 2010 as just a fun sketch/ warm up. I was thumbing through my old sketch book and saw that i never did anything with this. its so weird seeing how i've changed in just under a years time, i see a huge difference in my lifework, for good or bad it's not the same. Maybe thats the whole tattoo thing coming into play, who knows, hope you enjoy it, thanks!

Daily Drawing Pt 2 RAPH

2011-09-04T14:47:00.001-04:00

Yes i like to draw Ninja Turtles and watch Ancient Aliens when bored at work. Unfortunately No color on this guy yet but he is for sale like all of my other works, let me know if you are interested!

Daily Drawings pt1.

2011-09-02T20:33:00.003-04:00

Daily Drawings Part one, A little Optimus Prime action. I'm going to try and post up something new every few days or so, if not everyday. I'm really in the mood for doing some none Digital works, but all my acrylic water colors, and markers are older then dirt and half dried up, so it's off to find some that are going to last along time for the price, i know the Copic Markers are great but a little out of my price range, i wish i could afford a set. but this was all done on a 8x10 bristol board with microns, water soluble markers, a pit of colored pencils and a touch of white pen. enjoy

Update 2011

2011-09-01T01:29:00.001-04:00

Alright, haven't been posting in a while, but i am still alive and kicking out some art. The Tattoo shop over the last few months has been "ok" busy for me, and i've just been trying to keep the creativity going with some personal work of my own. I just got done with arts and drafts at the Brewerie in Erie PA, it seemed like a smaller turn out this time, i barely got my stuff in on time. I had no idea it was coming up so close, If it wasn't for my Wife working there i would have missed this one all together. As usual i tried to do some more funnier pieces. Of corse there was one with some kind of primate in it. I'm going to try and post more, i started a daily warm up sketch at the Shop to get me motivated on the slower days. the only problem with post from there is i usually only bring my iPad to work and Blogger seems to hate iPads and i can't find a good way to upload pictures to the site. i'll more then likely have to start leaving my PC at the shop to do stuff on until i can get this G3 iBook up and running again.

I have prints of these all available, plus the original Black and white line art, Also i'm open for commissions for and for tattoo apointments. But either way i'm back for the time being so here's a bunch of stuff from the last 2 Art's & Draft's fest's as well as a commission i did for my friend T-Shirt idea. He teaches kids to play instruments like guitar, bass, drums and all their moms drop them off like there going to soccer practice, so instead of soccer mom their ROCKER MOMS, he's supposed to be getting them printed up shortly i'll let you all know where you can order them when their ready, and as always i Hope you guys dig them.

Few updates...

2011-04-16T13:32:00.008-04:00

hey guys and gals what's going on!?
So ARTS AND DRAFTS is over and it was a good time I heard a lot of positive things and saw some great art, only bummer is i've seemed to have lost a piece of work... My octo piece hasn't came up. Got all the others back but not that one, I hope some one has it and is enjoying it and it's not just lost in the void of the brewerie, maybe the ghosts in that place snagged it,lol.

Right now things are kinda slowing down and I putting the final touches on this iPad app art work I've been working on I have a few redraws to do and one more big piece to finish up and hopefully everyone will be downloading this app for their iPad in a few short months.

Tattooing, the shop is picking up we've been steady for the last few weeks, but as always. I'm open for consults and appointments, walk ins are welcome as well, but if it's something that needs to be drawn I would prefer to setup an appointment, things just turn out better that way on all ends. I got tattooed the other day myself, from Nate Bajis at our shop (mutiny ink, in north east pa) he started a Mike mignola HELLBOY on my leg, I'll post pics soon, just line work for now but it's looking pretty sweet.

so that's the update, I'm open for commissions for a little while if anyone's interested hit me up at pumpkinhead303@gmail.com, tattoo related or comics, or general art I'm usually in. So the iPad for some reason won't let me post pics on the blogger so those will have to wait.

Until next time, laters

Quick Manga studio text.

2011-03-07T15:14:00.000-05:00

A few weeks ago i finally broke down and got Manga Studio 4. I'v Had a lot of artist friends tell me i would love it and they were right... So i'v been practicing with it and just trying to learn the tools and options, theres so much in the application to help speed up the process, not so much short cut or cheats, but stuff like i can more free with inking, if i mess up it's cool, command Z is this there to undo it... I still use photoshop for coloring because it's what i'm used to using. I haven't gotten that deep into Manga Studio. the bummer is i do like photoshop and importing and exporting i haven't got the hang of just yet.

But anyway, heres a quick little sketch, 100% digital, which is what i'd like to do eventually it just saves so much time, not scanning in, and playing with settings... this is a character from my comic, don't really have a name for her just yet, but she lives next to dalyla in a shit ass house with a drunk POS mom, so she looks up to Dalyla... thats about all for now enjoy!

A few tattoos i'm starting

2011-03-05T16:51:00.001-05:00

OK... Art update

2011-03-05T16:47:00.000-05:00

So... yeah... not much going on, the Tattoo shop we opened as been dead for the last few days which means i'm broke. booooooo... Anyway since i find my self with an over flow of time between listening to podcasts and the random billiards game. I decided to post on the blog... I got a few new things drawn up and felt the need to share. who knows you may find something you dig.... with out me rambling about nothing here they are.

Testing

2011-02-10T20:37:00.002-05:00

So i use google chrome as my main web browser and the other day i noticed a few extentions were added. I installed a few and then came a cross their blogger posting one, and this is me giving it a try. So far it seems to work just like the uploading tools in blogger so i'm pretty happy with that.

   Well... Maybe on to an update?... On January first i get a call from a person i work with and he said we all had to get our stuff out of the tattoo shop, Being it the day after new years i wasnt very awake for this call and just mumbled, what... ah shit man, ok cool... After which left us jobless, boooo... but nonetheless Tim, Nate, me And our apprentice Jeff found a local building that was for rent and boom! new tattoo shop. so that's been taking up most of my time even though it is still technicly the slow season and and people love to stand up appointments i'v been out there trying to work.

   Also iv been working with some people on an iPad app, iv been asked to do the art work for it. thats been taking up some time. i'm hoping to wrap up the bigger pieces with in a week for 2 and then start on the several smaller ones after that. lets see, let's see... what else, oh, the comic is still at a stand still, i find it hard to go to work all day and draw, on people then come home and draw on paper, i get arted out. but i love my story and my characters still and am really looking forward to getting it out. I got a copy of Manga Studio and it really helps with planning out pages and getting some of the more time consuming stuff done, i have one page completed in black and white i'm going to be posting hopefully shortly (i know, i knowi keep saying that). if you follow me on twitter @patrickmazzone you would have seen the page i'm talking about.

  Still no band... whats new right?

  Man i think thats about it right now, sorry there was no atcual art on this post but i figuer a bad update is better then no update...lol

Templesmith and Me Part 2.

2010-11-30T19:55:00.001-05:00

Alrighty, it's been awhile since my last post... i've been pretty busy at the tattoo shop but things are slowing down for the holidays. thats kinda the shitty thing about working in the tattooing field around this time of year. No one is thinking of spending $100 on a tattoo, their thinking "shit, i need to buy christmas gifts" ah well it is what it is., so anyway, i finally finished that Psylocke and sentinel drawing Ben Templesmith posted up a while ago. I started it and it got pushed way back in my stack of art that need to be done. So again, all the line work is Ben Templesmith, not me i just did the coloring thats all... if you dont know who Ben is then theres something wrong, he's done 30 days of night, wormwood: gentleman corpse, Welcome to Hoxford, the latest of his projects of his is "Choker"... you should be reading his stuff! for more on him check out his official website at www.templesmith.com... hopefully i didn't mess up his art to much!

Please leave some comments below, i would love to hear what you all have to say!

What i'm working on...

2010-10-21T19:47:00.000-04:00

A bit ago i said i was was gonna post more and get more projects done and in the open, and so far i haven't but today is a new day and here i am posting some stuff, yay! First up is a WIP (work in progress) of a Piece Ben Templesmith did, If you remember a few months ago Mister Ben Templsmith posted a wolverine line drawing up and invited people to color it... Well keeping with the theme of slacking i'v finally got a chance to start working on it... Now i feel i need to say this but Ben didn't not ask me personally to color this, i don't know Ben or anything like that he's just cool enough to let others take a stab at messing up his awesome drawings... So heres one screenshot of a 35% done coloring... I hope you guys dig it!

I should have more coming in a few days on this and i'm going to start posting up my character sketches for my Comic Book in a pretty big post. i thinking every few days or so posting a a new character, and a quick profile/backgound of each one. So thats finally in the works.... if you like what you see keep checking back for more, and as always comments are always welcome.

Art update.

2010-10-14T16:25:00.000-04:00

So some things i got the chance to work on over the last few months besides tattoos. Most are still works in progress but you'll get the point. lol... enjoy!

Tattoo update...

2010-10-14T15:53:00.000-04:00

So Why they hell haven't i been posting stuff... we'll the answer is simple, i'm a horrible human being. Things have been going well at the tattoo shop so i'v been staying busy with that, it's a good thing because i'm doing art and paying some bills, so bonus! I kinda stopped working on the comic all together because of the wedding earlier in the year, and starting at the Tattoo shop right after, so no real progress there... i know your heart broken, but like i said i'm a horrible human being. So heres some pic's of tattoo's iv been working on and hopefully i'll have some good things posted up soon with the comic... Enjoy

If your in the Erie Pa Area and would like to set up an appointment to get tattooed hit my email address at pumpkinhead303@gmail.com or stop into the Shop... Highland Tattoo, 26 South Lake Street, North East Pa 814-725-3521

New/ Older drawing...

2010-06-27T14:06:00.000-04:00

So yeah... I've really been doing a whole lot of not drawing these last few months... it pretty much sucks. But the busyness of getting married and honeymoons and planning and all that is over. Me And my Awesome Wife Sarah are getting back into a normal groove of life. So that means back to work and back to the comic.

I did this piece for a online art show called 31 girls in 31 days, yes i'm aware it sounds like a porno, but i assure you it is not. Through out the month of may (all 31 days) everyday a new artist was featured on the site. My day was supposed to be the 4th hence the 4 on her belt but something got messed up along the way and i ended up being a backup artist and being mover to the 23rd. It all worked out in the end i think. So much in fact that i was invited back for the July 31 in 31... The theme is space so naturally thats right up my Sci-Fi ally... Anyway i'll be posting more on that as i get to drawing.

I also got a new Tattooing Job i start with in the week, so be looking for me to posting more tattoo drawings and photos of finished things. Until next time enjoy my little Zombie girl. hopefully the posts will be coming more regularly now, and not months apart. if you on facebook hit the badge to on the page and lets be friends their too!

ONLINE ME = nothing new...sad face.

2010-05-26T14:37:00.000-04:00

No art update just a life update...yeah, nothing pretty much sums it up, I've been very inactive with art lately. I really haven't been doing anything for at least 4 or 5 month, anything good that is. I did one piece or and online are show called 31 girls in 31 days... If your thinking that sounds like a porn, you'd be right, but it's not, in fact when i got the invite i thought it was some spammer email. but it turned out to be legit and i submitted a piece. Basically if you got picked you had to draw a girl, any girl, but you had you use the theme poison, i'll be posting it up here after the first and on my redbubble page as well. So be on the look out for that.

Other then that, i've been slammed with wedding and stag and drag stuff... i knew getting married was going to be a lot of work but man, this is a lot... a lot, alot... lol. so i know the 5 of you that come check out my stuff on this here site may or may not have been wondering but just thought i'd give an update and check in.

places i can be found online.

Busy, thats the answer to that question. Just got done with arts and drafts, i sold a print, yay! I've been finishing off some commissions, and some art for our wedding, also planning out stag n drag, going over wedding plans with the soon to be Mrs. and eating like shit. man i feel like a gained 15 pounds over this last week alone... But this are winding down with the commissions i have a few to get to so bare with me. in the mean time check out a few pics from the last month or so!

Blogger!

2010-03-06T21:45:00.000-05:00

Well i'm getting kinda frustrated with blogger and it's lack being able to customize my HTML layout. i want/need a bit more so i'm considering picking up shop and moving on out... Who knows whats out there or where i'll end up but i'll keep everyone who visits me here in the loop... Is the grass greener on the other side? i'll soon find out.

New blog coming soon

2010-03-01T16:35:00.003-05:00

Last year me and my friend Felton tried making a video game/comic book/ whatever blog site. Well were slackers and work a bunch so it never took off. Recently we were talking about it and diced to give it another go, but i'm a dumb ass and forgot the login info for the site. So now i finally got it going, remembered the site info. So get read for the Pixel of the dead video game/entertainment blog! Say YAY! and stay tuned!

Blog Sites are hard?

2010-02-14T16:03:00.004-05:00

Theres a lot of reasons why blog sites are hard, promotion, updating, having some interesting things to say, but the hardest thing about having a sketch blog really has to be getting people to your blog in the first place. I'v had this site up for over a year now and i have no followers and never get comments on anything. i follow a few peoples blogs and comment. I was browsing through blogspot the other day and found a 45 year old house wife that just started her (a few weeks in) blog about recipes and how much her husband is a P.O.S. over 4,000 followers, holy shit! really!?... i'm in the wrong game then. maybe if i put up a few Recipes and Drop the F bomb people will start to come here and look at my stuff, just sayin' bloging is hard, unless you're a 45 year old housewife with nothing to do!

New art!

2010-02-13T16:06:00.009-05:00

This an old logo for my last band i was in "On the Ashes of Angelwings". We broke up in 2008 and i haven't been in a musical project/band since. I had plans to use this on shirts and hoodies, but the band met it's demise too quickly before any of that happened. So this just ended up being the backdrop to our myspace, which, by the way is still up at http://www.myspace.com/ontheashesofangelwings, theres a few songs up and some videos aswell. The studio songs, most of which do not have vocals, because the guy recording us at the time wont give us the finished product... ass! lol

My take on the cover of the movie Trick R Treat, i first saw the trailer for this film a few years back and got excited for it. Then stupid studio shit happened and the movie kept getting delayed. Finally it came out in October and my fiancée picked it up for me, i loved the move so much i thought man i should draw that... i know stupid and longwinded, to much info...

Sometimes you just have to fight some robots, they need to remember we built them, we can destroy them! I started this at the end of 2008, it was originally a tv doodle, didn't really like it at the time so it sat in my sketch book untill the other day, What the hell, lets finish it. This is what came out... hope you like.

Something pretty, not what i usually do, no not at all, but i was playing with photoshop brushes and this is what came out... thought i'd share...

Just some things i'v been working on in between Re-writing the end to the first issue of "Born as Ghosts" my original comic... I'v been trying to get this done, and get as much art out there as possible before its back to work and hating life again. but i hope you enjoy these and AS ALWAYS COMMENTS ARE WELCOME!

Art update 1/13/2010

2010-01-13T21:34:00.006-05:00

So the stupid holidays are finally over, that means i can get back to work. These are a few drawings i started working on in November right before Thanksgiving and couldn't finish them until now. So there really isn't much to tell, i used some new brushes i found online, i should really start giving the makers of the brushes a link on the blog. but i feel like i'm finally getting a style back.

The reason i did 2 faith drawings is because i didn't like the first one so i redid it... thats about it for this post. If you want to see more of my stuff pop over to my facebook page i have a better gallery there, the link is on my front page... hope you enjoy these and as always comments are welcome

checking in

2009-12-26T04:12:00.002-05:00

I see no one has really missed me in my absence. Si i thought i just check in and talk some more to myself for the sake of talking to myself... i guess. So the comic is coming along i'v been slacking because of the holidays and being so busy i couldn't take a shit and wipe my ass, i know a good visual right? well it's not like anyone reads this so i think i'm fine. i got about 12 pages penciled and working on getting the final draft done for the second issue, i'v got some concept art i'm going to put up, i feel safe in putting my original characters on this blog just for the simple fact of no traffic. are you seeing a theme here... WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYONE?! Any way. they'll be up soon and maybe a preview of some pages... who knows... lets see some more action and i'll do the same.

Art update pt.1

2009-10-08T16:16:00.005-04:00

Just some sketches i'v been meaning to upload both were done in pencil then inked with a faber castle brush pen, no microns or anything except the face cracks on franks face were done in photoshop with my wacom tablet. i'll have more soon, it's been kinda crazy around here lately, me and Sarah are getting married and i'v working on the comic so hopefully i'll be able to get some stuff up. the Skully and Me webcomic i'v been talking about is kinda on hold again mainly because my printer/scanner is only 8.5x11 and i'm drawing 11x14 and 11x17 sometimes so cutting things down and pasting them together in photoshop is a pain and dosnt look like i want them to. but it's all penciled and inked so as soon as i get a bigger scanner it will be up... I know, i know... All of you can't wait! lol anyway enjoy this update and AS ALWAYS COMMENTS ARE WELCOME!!!

Finished Uncharted.

2009-09-26T19:05:00.002-04:00

Here it is kiddies! The Finished piece, So far the people that have seen say it doesn't look like something i'd draw, and their right it has a bit of a different feel... I used a few new things that i'm not quite 100% on yet, my new brush pen instead of just using microns for lines, a few new photoshop tools i found some wet and dry media brushes online and gave them a try, also watercolor for tones... Don't usually do all that. So for what it is, it's done and up. On to the next. Speaking of the next since i have a bit more time i'm thinking of doing an online t-shirt thing, not sure what i'm gonna put on the shirts yet but i'm throwing around this idea of monsters, like lockeness, bigfoot, swamp apes, ghosts, things like that. And i'm getting closer to putting some of my original comic up, i kinda dropped the ball on the Skully and me webcomic mainly because my scanner is an 8 1/2 x 11 and i'm drawing on 11 x 14 paper so it just wont fit or look good. but thats the news people keep checking back and i'm sure i'll have more nothing to say.

Alright about a week or so ago i was looking through my usual sites and saw that Ben Templesmith posted a Wolverine line drawing and openly invited other people to color it, so being a Templesmith fan i decided "what the hell, why not?" and gave it a try... If any one here dosn't know Mr. Ben Templesmith he's done such books as "fell", "Welcome to Hoxford", "Groom Lake", "30 days of Night", "Wormwood: Gentlemen Corpse" and many more. You can Check his artwork out at http://www.templesmith.com So hope you guys enjoy this i had a blast working on it! Below i post Ben's original line art and new to it are my colors...Obviously! Anyway i just wanted to point out that i wasn't asked to do this, i don't know Ben

personally or any of that i was just something i thought would be fun. Thanks for looking and

As always comments are welcome!

A little progress

2009-09-20T18:28:00.006-04:00

a bit of progress on my latest portfolio piece. I'm a big Playstation 3 Fan and on October 13th Uncharted 2: Among Thieves comes out. I'v been playing the multiplayer i got from gamestop for about a week now so i thought i'd do this Uncharted drawing of Nathan Drake and Elana. This is the second version i'v done so far, the first just looked a bit "Dr. Katz" as i was told and not like how i draw at all. So i redrew it more in my style, i'm still not %100 on the faces, they for some odd reason gave me a lot of problems, But they are what they are. I'm Also trying to do some watercolor tones first before i fire up the photoshop. I'v never done that before so hopefully i wont F it up all to bad (can't be any worse then the rest of my stuff. right?). I also got my new Brush pen this week. I used a combination of prismacolor .03 pen and my new "Pentel Pocket Brush Pen" i highly recommend the Pentel Pen it just like using a real paint brush but you don't have to worry about dipping and knocking over the Higgins. so anyway long post i know sorry i usually don't ramble this much. i'll be posting more soon so keep checking back for more updates.

Also Ben Templesmith (Fell, wormwood, Groom Lake) posted up a wolverine line drawing that he openly invited others to color. I may just take a stab at that this week too, it'll be interesting to see what it turns out like. thanks and as always comments are welcome.!

2009-09-20T04:48:00.002-04:00

did this for a band i'm trying to start, just really a place holder nothing really special, just a stock font i stretched out to make fit. i got bigger ideas for this but who knows if it'll ever happen. tjhe band was supposed to be a extension of "on the ashes of angelwings" but i failed to get any old band members excited. hope you dig the logo and hopefully i'll get more up soonish. thanks!

Skully & Me webcomic preview

2009-09-10T16:59:00.003-04:00

So i'v been talking about this webcomic idea for quit some time now, it Called the Adventures of Skully & me. So this is just a little preview (page 2 of 4 ) of whats to come, before i scan it in to color. hope you enjoy it and stick around for the full comic coming soonish!

Gorilla in the interwebs.

2009-09-07T01:15:00.003-04:00

Who doesn't like Primates? I know i love them!!! Just a quick sketch while watching tv a few weeks back, finally got around to coloring it. I finally figured out how to upload more then one image to a blog post, wasn't hard, i'm just lazy. But you can kinda see the process i do when i color, note some of the inking on the left image is different then the right, those minor "inking touch ups" i did digitally. I keep saying i'm going up date my art more and blaw blaw blaw, but i'm excited because i really think i'm gonna have the time now, i quit one of my shitty jobs so now i can concentrate more on drawing. May finally get my webcomic out and some real work done. So it's looks more likely that i'm going to have time to post more then once a month, still wonder if anyone visits this site, i feel lonely. Anyway as always comments are welcome, Enjoy!

TIME!

2009-08-16T17:51:00.002-04:00

As the tittle may imply, Time is one of those things i don't seem to have lately so with that, drawing is a bit slow right now, i'v been working 2 jobs, taking care of my grandmother and spending time with my girlfriend before she moves. So me drawing is kinda taking a backseat right now. I'v been doing some writing when i'm dead at my bar job, i have most of my original store plotted out and issue one or zero (not sure yet which it will be) done, all my characters drawn up! But just to give an update i thought i'd post some up, just incase anyone way wondering!

Hulk Smash!

2009-08-02T17:47:00.004-04:00

A quick Hulk sketch i did a few weeks back, been meaning to color this but i'v been concentrating on writing lately. I have the first arch ploted out and the first issue writen for my original comic book, so things are moving along with that. I drew this after watching The new Incredible Hulk movie with Ed Norton on Blu Ray, such a great movie. I did all the pencil work digitaly with my Wacom Intros4 tablet, and Sketchbook pro then printed it out and inked with prisim pens. i did all the gray tones with faber castle shades of gray pens. total time spent drawing was about an hour or so... hope you dig it! As always comments are welcome.

Hat-Trick!

2009-07-15T04:25:00.004-04:00

Alright, 3 drawing done in 3 days! Thats awesome, i'm so glad i had time to draw this week.

So people who know me know i like me some Buffy. I dicided to go with the season 7 Buffy in that season she was a bit depressed and confused a lot of things went really wrong in that season, so thats why she dosn't look all to happy in the drawing, and the scythe is just fun to draw. I like to keep things simple sometimes, and sometimes to simple but the entire piece took me only 3 hours

(thats all i was giving myself from star to finish) and the background i worked on the longest, i had all these big ideas and wanted to make this gothic church thing with some vampires and all that. but i just couldn't pull it off the way i wanted, in the time i was giving myself. As always comments are welcome i would love to hear them... or read them... whatever.

2 days in a row!

2009-07-13T20:01:00.004-04:00

I'M ON FIRE!!! lol... Well not to disappoint but not literally, but 2 post back to back... man i feel good. lets see if i can get a hat-trick. So sticking with the Spider-Man theme, i did the Spidey, then Venom, and now heres Carnage! i'v been wanting to post the inks along with the color versons but it's not working out to well, maybe one day i'll get off my ass and do it. the contrast from the inks to the colors always makes me smile. So as always let me know what you think and keep checking back who knows there maybe something new tomorrow at some point!

Turtles

2009-07-12T16:40:00.004-04:00

So i started this drawing over a month ago and it took me that long to finish it... my old wacom tablet wasn't cutting it anymore so i had to wait until i had the money to buy a new one, and life in general has just been busy as all hell. So reason for the turtle piece is... I found all my old toys fom the 80's and thought man i miss them days it was so simple back then, thats really it, drawing time... I started working on this at work in the kitchen inbetween orders, that maybe another reason for the lateness, i also have a carnage, faith and buffy drawings done as far as inks and will be starting to color them this week as well. I hope it wont be another month before my next post, i really need to update more often... anyway for the 2 of you that come here keep checking my twitter/myspace/facebook i'll be posting on there too.

Enter a Venom

2009-06-14T20:50:00.003-04:00

So here's a Venom i just finished, this one was a quicky... I'v been seeing a lot of venom concept art online reacentley for Venom Spin off that Sonys doing, so i took some time to draw this. Total time spent drawing and photoshoping was around 3 hours. leave some comments kiddies!

Spider-man falling...

2009-05-13T03:49:00.007-04:00

After fighting with my photoshop and my new scanner for the last few days (if you've followed any of my twitter posts you might have heard about it), i finally got this done. I dicided to go alittle ferther then i usully do for sketches, this is more of a finished piece. I snaged some brushes off the internet for some of the background stuff so props to the people that spent the time to make them and post them up for free. Spidey remains one of my favorte comic book characters so i love to draw him, you really can do anything with him as far a pose and background. I have some more new stuff up on MySpace www.myspace.com/pumpkinhead303 so if you have the time drop by there and check them out... I guess thats really about it for this one, i hope you enjoy it!

Update: For those of you that caught it i know a few people on penciljack.com saw it. i Fucked up! yep it happens. I seemly drew the first one with 2 right hands. but it's fixed now and well now i hope it's finished. thanks

a delay...

2009-05-05T02:56:00.003-04:00

Not that anyone really cares but for the benafit of the doubt that anyone really dose come here i promised a new drawing and its not done yet, sorry... but for the 2 of you that said you come here i'll have it done soon... i just suck at drawing hands and thats the hold up... plus i just started a new band, We're called AFTER THIS HELL and thats been keeping me busy, and i really hope you like this new project,( it very well be my last... musicaly) i'm gonna try a bit more of what i'v been wanting to try, a lower (drop A) tuning more "dino" influnce, just more fuck you! The site is myspace.com/afterthishell it's a bit plain right now but i'll get it going soon enough... thanks guys!

SLACKING!

2009-04-26T03:34:00.002-04:00

Well the name of this post says it all, i'v been slacking, So no new art and maybe not for a little while i'v been working on more character designes for my main character "Dalyla" and i think i'm finally getting comfortable with it, i can draw her pertty quick now and she looks the same over and over. So with that and all the other shit going onn in life, i really havn't been working on random peices and i'm still abit leary of posting original characters online so you'll (all 2 people who've been to my blog) just have to wait.

And on the music end of things, nothing, absoultly nothing... Still looking for a drummer, without one of them it's pointless. I got a program a while back called EZDrummer it sounds really good, natural drum tones and really smooth action. I been useing in some of the newier sHaDeSoFgRAy stuff, and also writing a more metal type industral band, i want it to be more metal and not electronic. but all the drums are gonna be fake and there will alot of samples and noises, big thing i need to get is a good guitar recording interface. SOoooooo there the 2 of you go and update wraped up!

Keep stopping by maybe i'll post some new music up on my myspace site... look for "AFTER THIS HELL" thats what i'm gonna call it.

LEAPS

2009-04-20T01:52:00.005-04:00

So awhile back i hooked up with the Lake Erie Area Paranormal Socity they asked me to do them up a logo, and this is what i came up with, it reminds me of when i used to do work for bands, mostly bands i was in, i would do logos, flyers, CD covers, and T-shirt designs. So this is one of 3 desigins i worked with the other 2 i havn't worked on since thumb nails... hummmm, maybe i should work on them? oh well, it's all done in photoshop so no pens or pencils. Leave me some comments! Heres a few links to some of my bands, and leaps.

Oldschool part 1

2009-04-09T16:01:00.002-04:00

I was looking through my old sketch books and came across a few pieces i did and dicided i wanted to share. The first one is "fake" it was originaly drawn ( at Eat n Park back in 2001 i think, when Sarah and me would sit and draw untill 6am... every night) for a flyer for my old band Self Inflicted, it never got used because the other guys in the band didnt like it at the time. It was a pain in the ass with all the little crosshatching and what not, now i can see what i didn't back in the day, theres some slop in the crosshatching (not very uniform) and with the smaller size it all gets kinda lost, but either way i dug it back then. Leave some comments

its an Infestation...

2009-04-08T19:35:00.003-04:00

More hot zombie action... I have my issues with this one mainly the inks arnt my best or my favorit, but none the less it's up! These guys are just quick concept drawing of what the undead in my book may end up looking like, they are the first drawings the Zombies under this post are more where i'm leaning. but who knows i'v been slacking so much on writing and drawing lately. I have it ploted out and most of the concept drawings done for most of the characters. i just need to post more stuff up more often. Hope you enjoy, if anyone stops by here that is.

Zombies!

2009-03-14T16:06:00.003-04:00

Who doesn't like zombies... Well i love them, and since most of the comic book i'm trying to write (writing is hell) has to do with them i dicided to post this up. It's just a pencil drawing for now, i finally got new pens so expect an inked version of this at some point. i dont post new art up as much as i would like to but i still have no idea if anyone even checks this site out besides me...lol. Anyway i hope you like it! let me know if you were here!

Deadpool

2009-02-07T03:09:00.004-05:00

So i'v been on an Xmen kick lately! I'm really starting to get into deadpool a bit more. i love this guy! I was originally planning on inking this but then said fuck it, I like it as a pencil drawing so thats how it's staying! Say Yay! The perspective on the gun hand was a bitch to draw i'm not really good with human perspective so thats why i chose this pose for my buddy Wade here. Anyway, I got more drawings in the works. Hopefully i'll have more sooner rather then later. Stay tuned for more!

2009-02-04T03:10:00.000-05:00

Tuesday nights are usually Me and Sarahs Drawing nights, she was working on a tattoo idea for a friend

of hers (im trying to get her to get a blog for her art, but i doubt that will happen).

so i Saw the trailer for the Origins movie and got excited about the X-Men Franchize again, I'm not sure Deadpool

will be Deadpool enough but i think Ryan Renolds is perfect for the roll, i'm wondering how there gonna portray good ol' Wade Wilson, better be good!

So i Thought i'd drawn me a Wolverine... The new Movie is coming out so i thought i would be a good time to post a this up.

I did the usual pencils, then inked it with a brush pen, But for the larger black areas i used tattoo ink and a Brush. Hope you dig it!

no idea

2009-01-08T05:11:00.000-05:00

Alright i have no idea if anyone has stopped by this site... So if you are out there let me know, drop a coment or hit up my myspace @ www.myspace.com/pumpkinhead303 it would mean a lot to me to know people really do stop by! So LET ME KNOW YOU WERE HERE!!! even if you don't like my art, it would be nice to know i'm not talking to myself!

who knows

2009-01-07T01:44:00.000-05:00

Who really knows whats gonna happen this year... i know it's gonna be tuff to handle, i know it's gonna be a lot of the same BS, but all and all i hope everyone has a good 2009, Happy new years fuckers!!!

So heres the X-Files

2009-01-01T05:08:00.000-05:00

This is an X-Files drawing i did a few months back, i did this because the new movie was out in the theater... And Sarah and i were going back through the dvds from season 1 and watching the series over again. Now the eyes are not my favorite (i think their to cartoonie...). I did this in pencil first, then inked it with a brush pen. Then did the rest in photoshop... the clouds are costume brushes... i love the aliens and the tone aswell... Hope you do too! leave a comment please!

you have your own style!!!

2009-01-01T05:01:00.001-05:00

...is something people say when they really dont like your art but dont have the heart to tell you, you suck to your face... Now not all the time is this true, but 7 times out of 10 it is. Oh well what can you do. you can't please everyone, and why should you try. if they dont get it, then fine...

a Ghost in the night

2008-12-30T04:29:00.000-05:00

Heres a Ghost Rider i did a while back on a drawing night... Oh, i love drawing nights! Not really sure if i'm going to color this or not. I was thinking of doing it in marker and color pencil, but i like the photoshop comic look... Who knows!? but if i do it, i'll post it up. Let me know what you think!!!

Testing testing, 1,2,3?

2008-12-30T04:26:00.000-05:00
