ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN GIG POSTER PENCILS...


Here's the finished pencils for my ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN gig poster/ Frank Frazetta homage. Inks coming soon...

Upcoming MARS ATTACKS tribute design...


Here's a peek at an upcoming design for my BeastWreck brand based on the classic MARS ATTACKS trading card series from the sixties, which holds a special place in my sugar-frosted heart. The original art is from the wrappers for the wax packs. Working on the inks with colors to follow soon.

FROM THE VAULT: "DONKEY KONG WINS"


Here's another reposting of an old design from my previous blog -- a tribute to one of my favorite video games ever: DONKEY KONG. Read the original blog post HERE. I hope to get this baby printed as a poster sometime soon.

A PEEK AT SOME UPCOMING BUTTON AND STICKER DESIGNS...





Here's a couple of images of some upcoming stickers and buttons that will soon be available at the BeastWreck Shop. There's a KROOL-AID diecut sticker, a BEASTWRECK logo diecut sticker, and a PATCH 1.5-inch button. Orders have been placed and we'll post another notification once the items are in and available for order.

More BLACK & WHITE prints!

See previous post.




Some BLACK & WHITE prints!

I was recently contacted by a printing company that wanted to try printing some black and white versions of some of my illustrations, so I took a few of them and gave them the black and white treatment. This involved much more than just converting the files to grayscale -- I had to go back into the layers and remove some colors and convert others to halftones to get the desired effect for printing. Hope to see some of these soon.

UPCOMING DIE-CUT STICKERS!

Thought I'd post a bunch of die-cut sticker designs that I'll be rolling out in my BeastWreck Shirts & Stuff Shop over the coming months. A little teaser to whet your appetite and allow you plenty of time to plan out the best strategy for wallpapering your entire house with these things!

BEAST DU JOUR #16: "Stuggrhh"


Back with another Beast du Jour entry!
I wanted to mix things up a bit with this one and get back to a technique I've been meaning to try more of. Sketched and inked on scrap cardboard with white paint highlights. I really like having the tone of the paper act as a shadowy midground once the highlights are painted in. Dove in and finished this without pausing, and managed to finish it at the 60-minute mark. I'll be trying more of this soon.

This handsome fellow is a "Stuggrhh", and it looks like my brain took me in a sort of root-influenced direction with this one. Stuggrhh's have a pretty low mass, though they're hulking brutes, which enable them to climb quickly into the canopy of their forest home and await their prey, which they entangles in their tendril-like fingers and toes, then paralyze with their mouth-stingers so they can begin the slow process of absorption. No one knows how long they live, but it can be measured in the triple digits.

ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN design colors



ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN mascot colors. I think I like how this color scheme looks. Might leave it be for now. Will be adding the logo soon.
