El Venado

This piece was influenced by my friend Vela Phelan. During a performance he placed a branch behind his head. I liked how it looked and then months later while drawing, this happened.

Pelado

This image is 42 by 42 inches and is the largest in my show. It floats in the frame and you can see the ripples in the paper. From the oppesite side of the street you can see the eye staring at all passerby.

Balas and Friendly Fire

A team-up image of two of my favorite characters to work with.

Three images on wooden boxes

Lookum Here (it might could've been)

Shrine

Before Riddled with Bullets there was Becoming Balas!!!

Stick Strickens and a few sketches.

Stick Strickens and a few sketches that I am currently turning into complete drawings. I like to begin with a light colored pencil before making anything to definite.

El Jefe and Man o'War

Man Eater, Reluctant

Black Cloud and Ten Little Indians

I've alwaysbeen guilty of having my head in the clouds for various reasons and these two images are examples of that.

Them! and Dances withWolves

Arrows

Arrows was created on a small postcard shaped paper. I used gouache and pigmented ink over the penciled image.

Venado

I teach a few comic book classes in Boston and we use for our final drafts, Manga Art Board. It's basically 2 ply Smooth Plate Bristol Board but it's pre-lined and the students think it's bad ass. the drawing was created with a Micron pen. Before I started painting Micron was the tool I used exclusively and going back to it for this series of four( the rest I'll post later) I felt a sense of nostalgia for the comic book pages I used to create. Maybe these characters will find their way into a strip one day.

Happy Trigger and Nickel Plated Visions

Nesting and Skullmouth
