One last post to end the year off right.


Cheers!

Steamboat Mario

Taking part in an awesome art show on Tuesday called, SLCT STRT. It's an art show inspired by video games and started up by my good buddy, Justin Lee. Thats my piece for the show above, I'll also have a print of some other video game art I did up a few months ago, but the Mario piece was solely for this show.

I wanted to create a piece that looked like an old animation cel on top of a painted background, just like the old days when they ink and painted on cel acetate. Because of that, I also wanted the style to look like it was from those old 30's and 40's Disney and Fleischer cartoons like Steamboat Willie, Popeye, Felix and Betty Boop.



I also designed the poster for the show. So if you're not busy this Tuesday evening, come on out to the Seahorse and check out some videogame art by a TON of awesome artists.



1 up!

Eye in the sky!

Super sick right now but managed to bust out some colors on this piece I've had inked since last weekend. It's our girl, Apricot 7. Keepin' an eye on things and generally holdin' shit down!




*edit: Made a nifty desktop wallpaper for anyone who wants some kickass on their desktop.

SWEET!

So I entered this raffle held by an awesome artist, Gary Ham, for this one off, sweet, sweet Halloween Morsel. And guess what, I frickin' WON! In fact I wanted it so bad I think I willed that shit to happen, so yeah, happy Dan!



I actually worked out a deal to get this Chocomint colorway instead. So this is actually the one that I will get, but either way it's a damn sweet toy and one I am super stoked about winning.

Apricot 7 is GO!

Finally launched my comic, Apricot 7! If you like Action, Mystery, Adventure and Intrigue then you'll love, Apricot 7!

You can check it out here. It will be updated as often as I can, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy making it.

Cheers!!!

Halloween Girlies

Here's some pin ups I did for Halloween. All are done on 6 x 6 bristol with brush pen, sharpie, copic marker and pencil. Was pretty fun!

Enjoy!

Art Collab '09!

So me and my good buddy, Bobby "McCoy" Pettigrew are doing a pretty cool art collabo that he came up with. Initially he sent me a .psd with some pretty abstract art in it, I then took that and on another layer I did my take on it, no rules just gotta try to keep the essence of what you think made it cool and interesting. This is round 4 so far and my recent take on it has seen it fleshed out quite a bit from it's initial abstract start. We plan on going 9 or 10 rounds so the possibilities where this will end up is awesome.
