Throwing back to December 2012. iPhones, all the rage. eyePhones, all the rage. Oh boy. The vascularity of the retina. The wrapping tendons. Oh boy. Here’s where I started to realize the textures should be subtle… I think.

Throwing it back to December 2012. Where Wacoms hands were heavy and Photoshop was my weapon of choice. What’s this little dude? The saddest extraterrestrial you’ve ever seen. Made entirely of brain matter. Breaks my heart. This was my bright florescent color phase I believe. Click the pic for the hi-res.

Throwing it back to December 2012. A time where muscular bobble-heads were cut up for examination. Drawn with the Intuos again. I feel like this is my complementary colors phase. Blues and oranges complementing each other from across the color wheel. “Hey blue, looking pretty cool over there.” “Thanks orange, you’re lookin’ pretty hot.” The conversation would go something like …

Throwing it back to… I don’t know… Let’s say November 2012. A time where leaking, underwater rainbows were all the rage. Another experiment with the Wacom Intuos and eyesore textures. I honestly don’t even know what to say about this one. Click the pic for a full res view… If you want…

Early Wacom Intuos days. Some heavy handed drawing with some familiar color palettes. Sorry Frank, you done got GOT.

Throwing it back to a chilly October, 2012 — Where viscously horrific video-game predators were all the rage. One of my first ventures into digital coloring with the Wacom Intuos. Drawn with blue pens, scanned into Photoshop, desaturated, manipulated, violated. Then painted with some home made texture brushes — you feel me? Pac-Man jonsing for some ghost flesh. Click the …

Throwing it back to August 2012. In the future, everything will look like this, or so I thought 3 years ago. Clouds will be green. There will be a lot of pipes. And there will be one pipe that looks very phallic. This is the future whether you like it or not. Traced this whole thing in Illustrator with the …

Throwing it back to September 2012. The Bronze Eye. If you stare into the Bronze Eye, your soul will be forfeit. An ancient Egyptian overlord. Or something like that. I think he crossed paths with Hatchet Hand a couple of times. One of the many 5×5 series I did in hopes to create a CD booklet for my old band, …
