Unreadable stuff suite & fin

Hello

Ok here's three pages that follows last post
As the deadline is coming I just finished here, maybe a bit brutal ending?
This illustrate how it could be difficult to follow same feeling during weeks with few sessions of drawing in it

Im not sure if images page 4 (which is page 2 here) works, pannels 2&3, I think the big worm curse the first charcter but it's maybe not clear enough

Book Illustrations

   Hey everybody.  Thanks for inviting me to post, and thanks to Marcel for advocating for me.  He and I used to exchange mail-art and zines back in the 90s.  I'm primarily an illustrator, but I've worked in a lot of different mediums, including some animation for MTV.
    Here's the first two illustrations for a book by the notorious bizzaro fiction writer Tom Bradley.  I've done several book covers for him, and now I'm illustrating his latest.  The book will be published by Mandrake of Oxford next spring.



Here's the cover I did for Tom's novel 'Bomb Baby'


And here's the cover I did for 'Epigonesia' by Tom and Kane Faucher.  How many famous dead writers can you identify?  (Actually, I think Bukowski might still be alive.)

Unreadable stuff?

Hey there

I haven't got a pen or whatever since few weeks, and my scrapboard stock is short, then I'm trying to do somekind of comic with brush and rough style. I really don't know if it's really bad or not. I like scraperboard cause I can do something fast, detailed & kind of clear. With the brush the surface is quickly full, details are disappearing, so the story i'm telling is also really different. But I think, ok let's do that to the end to see what's comes out

Bodyart project: La Calavera Catrina ('The Elegant Skull')






Model : La Calavera Catrina
Photograph : Mantas Puida
Body-art : Shaltmira

I'm interested in body-art for a while. There are several reasons. I still have a wish to became a tattoo artist someday and drawing on body gives a chance to get closer to that, even knowing these don't last long, even if I draw with permanent markers (it might be unhealthy, some says, but it's really handy to do precise lines, so if people don't mind - I use them). On the other hand, it's interesting how human skin is both similar and different at the same moment from canvas or paper. It has this volume that let's you play with composition, since body-parts can spin and move, so there are unlimited amount of design variations available. And also, while working the connection between me and a model is built, it needs to have confidence in between, specially while drawing on naked body. It's kind of intimate process. What else I could say is that, it feels really flattering to see my art on other person's body, I think body-art also gives a great opportunity for other person to pay more attention/to feel art more deeply, since a person always are prone to look closely what she/he has on herself/himself. So it's like win-win. On the other hand, some friend of mine said, he wishes me to do more body-art on myself instead of having more real tattoos, because 'you can change it whenever you want. never stop changing'. this might sound cheeky a bit, but still nicely said.

I'VE BEEN WORKING ON DEFINING WEIRDO ART IN THE PAGES OF PORK MAGAZINE & ON THIS WEIRDO ART TUMBLR. WEIRDO ART IS HALF WEIRD INTENTION & HALF WEIRD TECHNIQUE. HISTORICALLY, THIS IS LINE DRAWING AS APPEARING IN OLD PULPS LIKE WEIRD TALES, THEN IN THE WORK OF BASIL WOLVERTON, ON THROUGH THE WEIRDOS OF ED "BIG DADDY" ROTH, TO THE UNDERGROUND WEIRD OF CRUMB, WILSON & WILLIAMS & SHELTON & INTO THE MINI-COMIX OF GAITHER, SLOANE & DIANA. TO TODAY. EATEN BY DUCKS IS PART OF THIS. MAZOOMA!!!

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN OBSESSED WITH THE UNCLE REMUS STORIES. I HAVE A COPY OF "SONG OF THE SOUTH" ON VHS WHICH I BOUGHT FROM PROFESSOR CURTIS A LONG WHILE AGO. ANYHOW, WE'RE DOING T-SHIRTS OF THE CENTRAL CHARACTERS & WHEN WE GET THE KID'S MAGAZINE GOING, WE'RE GOING TO PUBLISH ILLUSTRATED VARIATIONS ON THOSE STORIES ALSO.

I JUST FINISHED UP THE ART FOR HELLSHIRE III. WEIRDLY, HELLSHIRE II WAS TAINTED & DID NOT RECEIVE WONDERFUL REVIEWS. FOR THE TRIUMPHANT THIRD INSTALLMENT OF THIS BARREL-AGED BEER I USED ALL OF MY TRICKS & DETAILED WHAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE HELLSHIRE HOUSE, AS SEEN FROM THE BACK DOOR. IN THE FOREGROUND ARE SOME OF THE HELLISH MINIONS OF THE HELLSHIRE ESTATE HAVING A PARTY.

Saint Lydwine on the road



Saint Lydwine of Schiedam beats the path for a life as a humble hermit in the woods.

My post of two weeks ago is an excerpt from a comic for Zone 5300 magazine, which has been around since 1995. I have been involved since the start. Happy to do a cover design this time. The line art is in scraperboard, the colours were done in Photoshop and might change a little before it all goes to print.

Work In Progress

Work until death and then some more!

Doing a comic strip for the autumn issue of the Slovenian magazine Stripburger. Theme: work, rabot, delo, Arbeit!

I am going to add greys later. And yes, that's a tip of the hat to Hieronymus Bosch for his famous haywain.
