WIP Feb 11, 2012 – designing a S – NEW ART!
As I get closer to revealing my new comic book (which will be for sale at the Image Comic Expo Feb 24-26, 2012) I will be revealing more Work-in-Progress for the project. For today’s post are some samples of S’ for the comic’s logo. These are just my top choices after drawing pages and page of the same letter. I will be showing the final logo very soon.
Which ‘S’ will be the choice, or will it be none of them?

Cartoon Art Museum 2011: Character Design
Hey all, below you will find a video slide show featuring artwork my students created for the Character Design Cartoon Boot Camp at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco. The goal of the class was to design and draw a character the students could call their own for a final project and I happy to say that all the kids did a great job.
In the slide show I included two images of my choosing as well as their final piece. The two pieces I picked for each student were tough choices since I had only to work with the images we had time to scan into the computer. So, the art presented in the video below might vary in it’s subject matter for each student, but shows their creativity and process.
I hope you enjoy the video sideshow below and visit the Cartoon Art Museum when you get a chance.

Kid Beowulf wins PubWest Silver Award
I am pleased that my college and cartooning buddy Alexis Fajardo’s graphic novel, Kid Beowulf has won the PubWest Silver Award for his novel Kid Beowulf and the Blood Bound Oath. I did the digital coloring on the cover as well as watercolor washes on the prologue.
Congratulations to everyone who worked on the book.
“PubWest Book Design Awards were developed to recognize superior design and outstanding production quality of books. Originally, our design awards were limited to publishers in the West, but as we strive to promote the importance of book design and production in our industry, we have opened our awards to publishers throughout North America.â€
