Thrash Comic Ad

This is an advertisement I did in Illustrator for my Presentation class. I decided to create an advertisement for my comic I've been toying with. I wanted a real sin city vibe to it, since the comic, in my mind at least, would be a sort of drug filled noir adventure. I really liked this ad, unfortunately my teacher did not understand it at all. 

Thrash and the Beaver

I've been toying around with the idea of making a comic book lately. The idea came from a friend of mine who told me about shooting up beaver tranquilizer one time. I found the entire scenario so magnificently absurd that I wanted to make a comic book about him and his exploits with a magical talking beaver that only he could see. Here are the preliminary portraits of the two main characters, the beaver and Thrash. I did these in Illustrator.

A Ninja and His Steed

This was also done in Illustrator a year or so ago. There is absolutely no point to this picture other than the absurdity of a ninja riding a panda. It makes me smile and I hope it does the same for you.

Ratboy Greets the Radio Controlled Beast

This was done in Illustrator at around the same time that Limbo Cowboy was done. Again I used the same color for the background as the beasts skin, but I left Ratboy, the monster's Radio Control hat, and underwear white to give the picture a sort of contrast and make those parts stand out. The line that Ratboy is holding originally went to a balloon in the shape of Frankensteins head but it didn't look quite right so I cropped it out.

Limbo Cowboy

This was done in Illustrator a long time ago. I may eventually turn this into a painting of some sort, but i really like the visual of making his skin the same color as the background. I used that idea quite frequently a year or so ago when this was made.

Spock in Repose while Reflecting

This was done in Illustrator. It's a preliminary illustration of a painting I'm planning on doing. I really liked the quote I used for Spock and I wanted to depict him relaxing on an alien world, almost like he's a philosopher. The final painting will be on plywood and will be 2 feet high and 6 feet high with vinyl lettering for his quote. I also might change his speech bubble up a little.

Earlie Vs. The Sub

This is my version of Earlie from the Adult Swim cartoon Squidbillies. I really liked the idea of a somewhat more realistic squid with a trucker hat and a bottle of whiskey. I put the submarine there to give a size comparison and I added the comic book speech bubbles that say "what the?" and "...You can't be serious." to give a humorous depiction of what it would be like to be on a submarine and come into contact with a squid of that size and temperment. I really enjoy this painting. Acrylic on canvas with a tad of mixed media.
