Addiction

This piece was created for my spring illustration 120 2010 class at San Diego City College, it was used as a demo to show students how to create a illustration mixing traditional and digital medias (painting, drawing and photoshop).  I had very good results and some extremely good final pieces from a handful of students.

It was a little of a struggle since my class is a beguinning class andmost students did not have any computer experience at all!And on top of that I am still firung out how to blend both digital and traditional in my work.

Any way it was good experience.

Sweet tooth fan art!

I am a aviud comic book reader, have been since a little kid...nothing geeks me out better than a grant morrison comic, mike mignola art, moebuis, alejandro jodorowsky and jeff lemiere who has written three great works that i have read... Essex county trilogy (must read), The nobody (graphic novel) and his comic from Vertigo comics Sweet Tooth.

It is by far one of the best reads and visuals in a while that I have seen, love the slowly intimate development of the narrative and the great expressionistic independent visual art.  check it out here:
