Some King spots - pt.3

Part three in the ongoing series. This time, the women of King:



Pictured: Jessica Alba, Cassie, Naomi Campbell, and Paula Abdul.

Smooch

My figure paintings seems to fall into one of three categories: standing still, dancing, or smooching.

Jono

An old drawing of my old pal Jono. He was wearing really tight pants long before it was cool, and I'm sure he'll be wearing them long after.

Duress

Tom and I watched a weird Japanese movie a few months ago that I can't remember the name of. It was about a guy who spurts out grotesque bio-mechanical
cannons from his body when he's under extreme duress. It wasn't a very good movie but it made a big impression on us both. This is based on one of the sadistic bad guys who caused the duress.

Some King spots - pt.2

Since Obama's choice of running mate is looming close, here's my special "Vice President" themed "Some King spots" post...

Seascape

Some King spots - pt.1

I think these are the first three spots I did for King Magazine. Must've been about two or three years ago (whenever "Snakes on a Plane" came out). Besides that one we've got "The Pantie Postman" (some kind of pantie-of-the-month club thing), and "The Strip Club Utility Belt."

I'll post some more in the next few days.

Sketch

A sketch with some outright lifting of my father's palette knife stripe technique (thanks, dad).

The American

A book cover I just finished up for The Overlook Press. The book is titled "The American". It's a Young Adult western by Justin Allen.

Spat

Gongwanadon 3

Here are three non-consecutive pages from an old story I drew, "Gongwanadon 3", which was not good (thus the obscured text and missing pages). But some of the drawing is still interesting:



This one, which was my old homepage image, sorta gives away the ending:

Champion

I had a vision of a dude in a "Champion" sweatshirt (remember those?) and brought it to be.

Adler and Hutchins

For "The Common Review": Mortimer Adler and Robert Hutchins, founders of The Great Books Movement.

Splash

I'm always trying to push the color in my figurative work, but I've always found it hard to make people with dark colored skin; greens, blues, blacks. It tends to obscure my linework more than I'm comfortable with. Here I compromised by making the figure pale green and putting some richer tones around him.
