Daring The Sun: A Space Comic

Here's a finished page from the comic I'm working on.
It's 1 of 8 pages that I'll be exhibiting in the show at
Ting Fest this year.

Being in the show is the kind of the jump start I
needed to get drawing constantly again.
Nothing like a deadline to motivate.

Ting Comic and Graphic Arts Festival 2015

Here is the artwork I drew for Ting 2 this year. 

The direction was my take on the Luke Worm, so I obviously went into space.

The 2nd annual Ting Comic and Graphic Arts Festival takes place April 21 – May 9, 2015.

PEW. The best Sci-Fi sound ever!

Panel from my unpublished comic. This page will be included in my submissions to Ting 2.

Made some edits to this one.

Tales of the Bishop

My comic based on the Bishop Isaac Hellmuth founder of Western University in London Ontario. It's out today in the March 5th edition of Western News

Originally a couple colleagues and I joked about creating a comic based on "The Bish" where he might travel through time and fight vampires, zombies, aliens and the vile werelynx a far more diabolical lyncanthrope.

I'll add some of the earlier pages that were drawn. Those pages illustrate something a little closer to our original vision.

Meta coincidence

I needed to create an icon about neuroimaging.

So I turned to google for info. I looked up "Use of neuroimaging to read human thought" and... What did i find?

One of my own illustrations.

 I ended up making this.

Weird coincidence.

Stone Tooth Mountain

I've been drawing a lot lately with my ipad. Initially it was just supposed to be for sketching and then I'd bring the files into illustrator and I'd refine them. The weird thing is I find myself using the ipad more and more, I've found that Adobe Ideas has been a fantastic program. Here's a landscape that I drew the other night.

The New Yorker

The New Yorker

This cover was designed for the latest issue of the Western News, Western University's newspaper of record since 1972. It is the convocation issue and I decided to keep it classy by paying an homage to the original New Yorker cover from February 21, 1925.

Best of luck students.

Conan

The Barbarian

"Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryus, there was an age undreamed-of. And unto this Conan, destined to bear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure."

-Wizard of the Mounds

Probably the first comic I ever read belonged to my brother, a Savage Sword Of Conan. I have no idea what issue but I'm sure it was drawn by Ernie Chan or John Buscema.

I recently found one of the earliest comics I ever drew and completed, 12 pages and at the age of 11. The find inspired me to do a couple sketches.

The Punch 

Unravelling Head?

An illustration that will be appearing in a book I'm designing. It's been used before but it's always nice to get a little more mileage out of something.

Dr. Who, The Tardis, Space and Time

Space and Time

The Tardis is about space, time and a little bit of math.

Chewbacca

Chewie

Here's my take on everyone's favourite fuzzball.

I remember loving Star Wars as a kid, then hating it around 1999 (Not you Liam or Ewan, you've done what you can with what you had been given).
There is a new hope that I will love it again in 2015:)

Quick Draw

This space cowboy, possibly pirate... shoots first, second and even third.

Another character design from my one day down the road comic. 

I've posted this artwork to my society6 site.

Doctor Who - Tardis

Traveling through time and space

Like a lot of scifi geeks out there I love me some Doctor Who, so what kind of fan would I be without a Tardis in the mix? As a Whovian, but I prefer the term Wholigan... (can't believe that never stuck), here is my rendition of the Doctor's Tardis spinning through the vortex of time and space.

Geronimo!

I also made these available on society6.

Daring Escape

A little daring adventure scene of two characters from my somewhere down the line self published comic.

I tend to draw these scenes and fill in the blanks later when it comes to the story. So I guess this is a panel from my somewhere down the line self published comic.

I wonder how they got into this predicament....

1920s Gal

A drawing I did for a 1920s themed event.

Space Ape

Space Apes are classic.

What kind of scifi junkie would I be if I didn't include my take on a monkey from space? Short answer, a bad one.

This fearless space explorer will live as a character in my hopefully one day self published comic.

RIP Ray Bradbury

Another drawing from my vault.

When Ray Bradbury passed away we, as well as the world of science fiction, lost a great voice and imagination. 

This illustration was used in an article published after his passing. I tried to incorporate as many of his stories as I could in this piece. We have The Illustrated Man pouring out some Dandelion Wine while holding a copy of Farenheit 451, and even The Martian Chronicles can be found in the tattoos. 

Thanks for the inspiration.
RIP Ray.

Marching Robots

Here's a before and after of a robot design I've been working on for a bit. The original was a doodle ink on paper that I then scanned and turned into a silkscreen tee, found here http://www.geekssociety.com/. 

Original

 
I've always liked this robot and I wanted to use it for a character in a comic I'm working on... so here he is, new and improved.
