I just can't get enough Dr. Sketchy's! This time there were two models, the Malicious Little Miss Risk, and the Mysterious Momo!

Happy New Year!!! 2011 is here and yet commercial available jetpacks are not. Well, at least we have Real Dolls. I'm just waiting for ones that look like Jane Fonda.

Here's an older Dr. Sketchy's from before Christmas with the lovely Sister Madly.

Joie de Vivre

2010-12-01T01:07:00.001-08:00

I did my first Dr. Sketchy's last night. For the uninitiated, it's life drawing with Burlesque girls and booze. The venue, Guilt & Co, was pretty cool, though they were out of Steak Tartar. It's been a long time since I've life drawn and I definitely struggled to find my groove again. Kicked in around the 5 minute poses though I started to overwork the 10 minute ones. The model was the lovely Cara Milk who did a great job and even did a quick burlesque number as an intermission. The biggest challenge with drawing burlesque is what to do focus on each pose. There's the pose/gesture, but there's also the clothing/details, the pattern/texture and the lighting/shine. One of the unscanned drawings won a sketchbook for being too French in a cartoony/funny way. Bully for me!I already bought my ticket to the next one.

Now Until the Moment of Your Last Breath

2010-11-28T22:21:00.000-08:00

Wowzers! Been gone a while folks, but with good reason! I finally got a paying gig here in Vancouver(The place where I now live.) I found a Drink and Draw-like group called Artery and it's pretty cool. Here's some art I've done at various meets. I'm going to my first ever Dr. Sketchy's tomorrow so expect some more stuff soon.

Calgary Expo

2010-04-23T00:29:00.000-07:00

Hey gang, I've been really busy lately with my latest comic book venture, The Five Stages of Near-Death Lesbian Sex. It's on sale at the Vicious Ambitious table at the Calgary Expo this very weekend! I'll get back to the Royal Tenenbaums next week and after that, maybe Life Aquatic? Maybe Fantasy Mission Force? Stay tuned.

2010-01-27T00:44:00.000-08:00

In an effort to get my friend Chad to post more of his webcomic, I've taken it upon myself to do the next one to get the ball rolling again. I can only speculate based on conversations with him that is the next logical installment of the ever popular duo. So here's a new Pea to the Nut Comic by Chad Veinot as channeled by me. Enjoy!

A Takk

2010-01-15T21:54:00.000-08:00

A pic of 'Takk' from the 'Nobodies.' This is an older version of her, notice the lack of the eyepatch as well as her warhammer, also named 'Takk.' I don't think I'll get the issue done for this year's convention, but I am STILL working on the series. Just gotta get all these other projects wrangled.

Hey gang,

My friend Jason Mehmel and I have applied to our friendly neighbourhood government for a grant to produce a Gilgamesh Graphic Novel. The term comic book isn't in the gov't terminology apparently. Here's a promo shot we've sent in with the grant and so we wait and see what happens. In the meantime I'll be working on a more cartoony expressive style, as well as some finalized character studies.

Wish us luck!

Hey, been a long I know. I'm busy working on three pitches for the animation studio I work at. Once that's done, it's on to the Nobodies issue 2. Tonight was a really good drink and draw though, I drew up Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein girl. Haven't watched the movie, I just liked the idea.

Howdy! Here's a drunken concept for a pin-up project for the future. If it works when I'm drunk and it still looks good when I sober up, then I say this concept is great success!

I haven't posted much lately, due to me working on a pitch project or two for the fall.

Considering doing a Nobodies blog when Issue 2 starts to ramp up later this year.

And the Calgary Drink and Draw finally has a blog, so cheggit out!

That's all for now!

Here's a cornucopia of stuff including a 17 month old fanart of Peaches and Iggy Pop I forgot I did. Ah wells! I also did Olga Gurlukovich from Metal Gear 2 and a quick Takk from my Nobodies. I'm currently scheduled to do one more Nobodies issue for the fall as well as a collaboration for the new Vicious Ambitious Sci-Fi Anthology, Rocket Juice.

I'm currently collaborating on a contract to create a logo/identity for a local calgary company with my awesome artist friend, Cynthia Ramdial. This was a quick, first pass drawing where I channelled Shane Glines. Unfortunately, this wasn't what the client wanted, but that's cool. I've already drawn another one and hopefully this first collaboration leads to wonderful things.

Only I Will Remain

2008-05-14T23:04:00.000-07:00

Hey gang,

Another drink and draw today. Big crowd now that we have some ACAD grads joining us. My head fuckin' hurt too. It was a hottish back of your head kinda pain, but after walking around the street I just felt wrong. Like a storm was about to break. My pupils were also slightly dilated, so lights were a touch brighter. Here's hoping it's not anything serious.

First 2 pics are from past drink and draws, the Flash Gordony fella's from tonight.

Also, Fiona Staples was awesome enough to do some fanart of my Nobodies comic. She did a pretty good job, I'd chalk that up to the talent potion she was fed as a child. I was only fed the sarcasm potion and the overweight potion. C'est la vie!

Anyways, thats it. Hope my head feels better. Might be physical, might be mental. Either way, I need to get improvin' before it's too late to do anything about it. And by that I mean, I hope I don't die before I wake.

-V-

I've Got Another Puzzle For You

2008-05-13T23:20:00.000-07:00

Well, I've finally started drawing again after a long deserved break. I recently lent my cherished copy of Claire Wendling's Iguana Bay 2.0 to a friend who's been fiercely linking me to get me more traffic. Much appreciated, chum. (I didn't realize 'chum' is almost 'much' backwards.)

For those who don't know who Claire Wendling is, get on that shit and buy her stuff immediately. Iguana Bay 2.0 is a unique published sketchbook in the sense that it's old and new. It's got all the material from the '96 release of Iguana Bay 1.0 in it, along with brand new redo's of every sketch from 96 done 8 years later. It's amazing to see how much she's progressed, refined, and grown since then.

So, as always, I steal/try it for myself. I dug out my first sketchbook. Admittedly, my first sketchbook wasn't started until I was 20, blame it on my former habit of drawing on scrap paper. I remember getting this sketchbook as a gift for painting the windows of my animation school for the Stampede. I forget the administrative assistant's name, I wanna say Melissa, but she was cool. In fact, she was hot. Long strawberry-blond locks that would put Goldilocks to shame, and buddy holly glasses. But I digress. I finished that lil sketchbook in about a year, much of the material done was very loose, unfinished and experimenting in mediums I was trying for the first time. Materials like blue pencils and illustration markers.

After flipping though the relic, I found two pieces I chose to redo. You can definitely see the increase in anatomy knowledge, line confidence and mastery of the materials. I still wouldn't consider myself pro, but after doing this, I can see myself getting closer.

I have a few things to do in near future, like a script for the second issue of the Nobodies, some fanart and some more experimental pics. More to come. Drink and Draw tomorrow.

Oh, and I've got another blogger buddy. My good friend, Richard Barkman. Fellow comic booker and Luchadore enthusiast. Check him out and shower him with praise or just soap and water. Either way, he wins.

That's all for now.

By the way, I forgot to mention that I have a new member in my family . Meet Drawy McDrawonme Pants, my first official drawing table. Sweet Zombie Jesus, it took long enough. My next comic ought to have some actual 2 and 3 point perspective thanks to Drawy here.

Oh and don't forget that I also have a deviant art account. It has art this blog does not have and vice versa. Check it.

Oh and the bearded Stuart Immonen linked me on his blog today. Happy times, he is one of my favorites. Check him out too, he works on some weird, underground indy comic called Ultimate Spider-man. Probably popular with the Pekar crowd.

Well, my buddy Johnny and his fiance Candice has gone and moved to Vancouver to start 3D Animation at VFS. And to him I say, good luck and make the most of it. It's a very daunting task to uproot yourself, move to another city, and edjamacate yourself at a very expensive school.

I hope all the best for Johnny and Candice in the city that never dries. Check out his blog, I'm hoping he'll be posting all his new and improved artwork as the year rolls on.

Saw Bitch Workhorse

2008-04-30T23:34:00.000-07:00

Hello gang,

Its been an eventful few weeks. I had the worst stomach flu ever two days ago. Swore I almost died of dehydration, but I seem to be all better now. The convention over the weekend did really well. All in all my new comic, the Nobodies, was well recieved. A few people have already asked about issue two. That's bloody spectacular to hear and that's what keeps me going.

Finally finished those Marvel Cards. All but one were approved my Marvel. I guess they thought my Enchantress looked like a puffy She-ra. No arguements here. Not my best work unfortunately. I really think the lack of time and payoff quickly squashed my passion and effort on this one. I'm glad I did it, and I did have some fun, but I don't think I'll be doing it again. I can't say I really grew as an artist on this one. I felt rushed, kinda like 24 hour comic book day. You draw to get it done, not to become better or try something different. Live and let die.

It'll be a while yet before Issue two. I want to take some time off to draw for myself again, hopefully reach another plateau. You'll see what I'm fiddling with soon enough.

That's all for now.

I Got Five On It

2008-04-22T20:50:00.001-07:00

Hey Muppets,

Here's the first 9 of my 50 Marvel Sketchcards for Upper Deck. I have till the end of the month, so expect these to frequent my blog as the weeks roll on.

I recently attended both an ACAD Show/Sale and Graduating Porfolio show. I was rather blown away by those talented mother-truckers. I was also quite humbled, angry, and resolved in my quest to become a better artist. Despite how good some of you may think I am now, I know I can still be a thousand times better. This blog is precisely that, a road map to my betterment as an artist. So keep watching.

Here's a few of the people I met and in some cases, befriended: Sarah Friesen, Heather Reinhardt, Chika Ando, Connor Willumsen, and Maggie Cloutier.

Check 'em out. I'm jealous of all of them and may have to destroy them one day.

Cheers!

Hey Creepsters,

Here's some colored work of recent. The Nobodies finally wrapped up and it's at the printers. That'll be for sale at the Tubby Dog Release Party next Thursday, check the image for details as well as the Gong Show/Calgary Expo next weekend. It's gonna be the balls. Gong balls. Do visit myself and the Vicious Ambitious table. We'll have 4 new books and lots of pie-throwing. No joke!

Also, some of my good friends will be in attendance, Johnny Luu, Daniel Andrews, James Davidge, and Riley Rossmo will be in Artists Alley, make sure you check those guys out.

That's all for now. GONG!

Well, here's the inks to my new comic book coming out later this month. Here's hoping the printer can pull my late ass out of the fire. Colors later. Greatly inspired by Will Eisner and the Ryan Sook, the guy who made me remember why Eisner covers kick ass.

Hey gang,

Another drink and draw in the bag. I did a few Marvel Sketch Cards, but I can't show those yet. I did a circus thing and here's another panel from my comic. I hope to get this to the printer after the first week of April and printed by the time that expo rolls around.

It'll happen, I'm making some good progress. I hope to have a cover to show next week.

2008-03-10T23:25:00.001-07:00

Here's another panel from the Nobodies. I have 10 pages done, so I've still got a ways to go. I'm also trying not to ruin too much of the story prematurely on this blog. An no, this girl is not going to become Venom.

Oh, and one more thing. I have to slightly changed the title from 'The Nobodies' to the 'Nobodies.' Why? Well, apparently some guy wrote a kids book called 'The Nobodies' so I'll just drop the 'the' in the title despite my explicit use of 'The' whenever I talk about it.

I'm almost out of blank comic book pages too, so I'll be on the hunt for those this week, seeing as AD comics is fresh out.

Let Me See You Stripped

Hey fugglers,

Had to share this panel with you guys, cause I'm mighty proud of it. And yes, this is officially the most detail I've put into a desert scene. I might get the cover done up next week, so I can finally get that into the ether.

Also, three of my buddies are online, I present Christopher Bruce Johnston, Caleb Hystad and Brian Yee.

I also got my Marvel Sketchcards in, and I've done up three tonight at Drink and Draw. Can't show 'em yet cause of the NDA. The comic is my biggest priority now, so you'll have to wait until next month to see some cards.

That's all for now.

Hey gang,

Just in case you thought I was slacking, you thought wrong! Dead Wrong!

I'm currently working on an epic 6 issue mini-series with the first issue coming out for the Calgary Expo in April. It's called the Nobodies and it is the biggest comic project I've worked on yet.

Here's two pics from the pages I've already finished, stay tuned for more and maybe even a cover later this month!

Hey gang,

I'm hard at work on my big comic book project for this years expo. I recently finished up two stories for Gord Cummings' Mercy Seat Presents: Children Are Cruel. I wrote one and Jason Mehmel wrote the other. Not sure on the release date, but it'll be awesome when it comes out.

Well, another Drink and Draw tonight. I live for those. Come to them if you can, email me for info. Tonight I finished a Vicious Ambitious Drawing challenge. This is Fan Art of characters made by my VA brethren. Any true VA fan can name these figures off.

On a sidenote, here's some new blogs of my fellow artists you should be checking out - Nick Johnson - Ginger at Large, Johnny Luu - Honorary Thundercat, Steve Gervais - Next in line to be Santa Claus and Dan Andrews - Ex-Circus Strongman.

And although I don't know him personally, James Jean's art kicks my ass everytime I see it.

That's it for now, bitches.

Here's two straight-to-pen, drawing from memory sketches of the X-Statix! Dead Girl came out okay, but Guy Smith looks like some queer Hanna-Barbara character.

I'm doing these to brush up on a quick, clean style for the Marvel Sketchcards I'm going to be doing soon. I'm thinking I might actually pencil the real ones and in some cases, use tonal marker. I can't post the actual art until they're approved and the NDA nullified, but that doesn't mean I can't post the prelim sketches.

In due time me chumleys.

This lil pic was done for my Vicious Ambitious bi-monthly drawing challenge. We did 'cops' as our first one of 2008. So here's the Hot Fuzz. I don't think I captured Simon Pegg too well, I endeavor to try harder next time!

I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight

2008-01-21T21:24:00.001-08:00

It's been a long fucking time eh me Droogies? Well, I had a good winter holiday but now I'm back in to work. It feels good to have a loose structure back in my day to day business. I'm currently directing my first episode at work and so far that's working out pretty good. I'll even be animating this time around.

The lovely lady to the left is the same girl I attempted to draw from memory here. Since I now have her on my facebook, I had adequate and permitted use of her pictures to do her graven justice! I'm still not sure I got her, so I'll be drawing her again in the near future.

What else can you expect in 2008? 3 or 4 of my 10,000 days project posters, the first one should be done soon. Some stuff for my new comic book project.......and some Marvel Sketchcards later in the year. I'm doing 50 cards for upperdeck and I'll post those once my NDA gets the all clear.

And that's it for now.

Hey, in case you hadn't noticed, I fell off the blog wagon pretty bad. It's been a rough week unfortunately but tomorrow I'll be back up to speed. I've got about 6 more Blade Runner pics to do and then it's on to something new.

Here's some drink and Draw stuff from a while back. It was my sister's birthday, so I ninja drew her from afar. She's the one without boxing gloves.

James Hong. I met this pimp daddy at the San Diego Comicon. He's the quintessential asian character actor. I saw Balls of Fury this weekend. Don't watch it.
