Shameless self-promotions abound...I recently went crazy uploading some designs onto cafepress where I have my own little shop. I slapped some original drawings on all kinds of odd items from wall clocks to t-shirts. It's an experiment. I'm interested to see if anyone would be interested in this kind of thing.

All images are high res so they should reproduce quite nicely on all products.

Scope the shop here...[link]

Let me know what you think, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

He has somehow managed to fly under the radar on here. All it will take is one of his popular pro buddies to pimp his DA page and he'll be flooded with DA love. 'Figured I'll spread the little word that I can. His blog is still the best source to view his work/words...[link]

Anyway, I just started classes for my masters. I am going for a degree in Art Education. This has been a dream of mine for a long time and I am pumped to finally be taking the right steps toward making it happen!! I certainly have a world more to learn about art, art history, teaching and many other things in life before I can be an effective teacher. I am excited about the challenging and rewarding journy that awaits.

Guess that's the biggest thing I've got going on right now. I am hoping to have some free time in my schedule in the near future to start working on some personal creative projects I have been longing to do. The results of these ventures will be shared here on DA and my blog.

Thanks for dropping by!!

Check out the new web comic my buddies and I have launched. WARNING: For "Mature" readers only, it's far from mature but there's some stuff in there that's inappropriate and may bother the faint of heart. Anyway, check it out:

My buddy Jon Wood and I did the artwork. I did the pencils, Wood cleaned it up on the computer, and we collabed on the colors. Our pal Dan Cunningham came up with the characters and is providing the script. We will be updating regularly, adding one new strip per week. The site needs a lot of work but the comic is up and ready to be read so that's all that really matters right now.

Thanks for taking a look, hope you dig it!

2009 is coming on strong so I'm reflecting on 2008. 2008 was a cool year to be a comic/animation/illustration art geek. SDCC '08 saw the release of an insane amount of awesome artbooks and sketchbooks from so many talented people. I was on inspiration overload! Some incredible artwork was produced in the comic book field throughout the year as well. Joe Madureira on Ultimates, Ed Mcguinness on Hulk, Olivier Coipel on Thor, Raphael Grampa's Mesmo Delivery...these are just a few of the great highlights of the year for me. A new J.C. Leyendecker book finally came out which is just too awesome! Travis Charest's Metabarons work was finally released, only in French language but the art is stunning! Lots of cool stuff...I'm sure 2009 will have its share of awesomeness for the art geeks too.

As for personal work, I think my drawing abilities have grown a bit but I can still go much much further. I want to get back into classes in 2009 and hopefully gain more understanding of drawing and learn some new tricks! Painting is another art form I want to explore more seriously in the new year. Maybe I will post some stuff on here if I get anything done and it's worth showing! On the "work" front I am working on a web comic that I am really excited to share, it should be up for public view in Feb.

Anyway, enough rambling...I hope 2009 brings wonderful things for everyone! Have a fun, safe holiday!

I'm not a prof. artist or anything but I still feel obligated to finish any project I take on, though nearly all are non-paying "just for fun" kind of deals. Anyway, just wanted to write down here that it can be overwhelming to have so many drawings hanging over your head that need to get done and balancing that with other aspects of everyday life like school and work can be tough. It makes me realize how much better it can be simply to draw and create art just for fun, at your own pace, just for yourself.

I'd like to spend a lot more time bettering myself as an artist and learning more about this craft. Not that I don't learn from working on these various projects but I know I could be doing a lot more to really grow as an artist. I think once I fulfill my current obligations I will return to the student path where I should always be. I will work on projects, because they can be a lot of fun, but only one at a time from now on.

Anyway, just thought I'd rant about this here as this is where artists hang and I know some people out there have to be feeling this same way at times...

Some people who did great books this year:

Humberto Ramos, Fransisco Herrera, J. Scott Campbell, Sean "Cheeks" Galloway, Keron Grant, David Finch, Darwyn Cooke, Bruce Timm, Mike Mignola, the Creaturebox guys, Travis Charest, Chris Sanders, Arthur Adams, Adam Hughes, Gabriele Pennacchioli...I'm sure I will discover even more soon. It can cost a good chunk of change to keep up with this stuff but it's worth it as far as I'm concerned!

Anyway, besides my day jobs I am working on some very cool projects right now with friends. One action/adventure comic and one comedy strip for the web. I can't wait until I can share more on both projects, need to finish a bit more work on them first though.

Cool time to be a comic book fan right now too. Some really solid work turning up on a weekly basis in the shops. Next week we have Ed Mcguinness' Hulk #4 and Joe MAD!'s Ultimates 3 #4 on the shelves at the same time, that's something special! I'm pumped for these and many other books coming out next week and throughout the summer. Looking forward to SDCC too, needs me some fresh sketchbooks from my favorite artists.

Don't know where I am going with this journal just wanted to get something new up!

The awesomeness that is New York Comic Con is nearly upon us! My buddy Jon Wood and I have once again been working hard all year to put together a fresh original book for the show. The book is nearly done, yeah I know cutting it close, and should be all printed up for your reading enjoyment just in time for the show. Book #1 will be available again as well. Both books are full color on high quality paper, come with unique supplimentary sketchbooks, signatures from us creators, and an original sketch to your specs!

We exhibit as Bontebok Design and will be at booth #2344, write it down, you've got to stop by!

If you want a book or books, but can't make it to the show, note me, e-mail me, whatever, and I'll be sure to put one aside for you!

Prices: $3 per individual book
$5 per 2 book bundle

Can't wait for the show!

I'm currently enjoying and looking forward to the rest of 2008. I want to discover new artists to inspire me and enjoy new work from my old favorites. I want to advance my own skills and become a better artist before the year is through. I want more Joe Madureira Ultimates and Ed Mcguinness Hulk! I want to find a job I dig! There's lots I want to do and am working on right now so hopefully good things come. I hope the same for anyone who happens to read this journal. Keep churning out that artwork!

I'm going to try to put up more fully finished work and update my journal a bit more regularly, with more focused topics too, haha. Anyway, thanks for reading this far if you have and I hope you dig any of my drawings you might stumble upon.

Been drawing a lot in the little free time I have. Working on Bontebok Comics #2 and a few other little projects too. I'll share more soon.

I am really itching to find some good art classes locally to go to on weekends. At least a figure drawing class or open session just to keep practicing. Painting class would be cool too, been wanting to push that skill big time. It's hard to find the time these days and I feel I am getting stuck sometimes, need some new inspiration.

Anyway check out my blog for more regular art updates and ramblings. [link]

Anyway, been working on lots of cool things with friends and for myself. Designing t-shirts, designing characters, and drawing comics has kept me busy in my free time lately. I've had to take a bit of a hiatus from working on Bontebok Comics #2 to get all these little side projects done. It has been very cool working on a variety of projects with a variety of people, I've never been working on so many different things at once. None of these projects are really money makers but they keep me practicing and learning and building my portfolio, plus they are just a lot of fun.

So I posted a few new pieces, two of which were already on my blog. I hope you enjoy them.

Thanks for stopping by!

Not a whole lot to reprot, just been working on new artwork for the second issue of Bontebok Comics. We debuted the first issue at NYCC 2007. Issue 2 is going to rock a lot harder, should be done well before NYCC 2008 but that;s where we'll probably bring it out for people to buy. I'll post images from this book soon.

My buddy Jon and I, along with my brother Brian, hung out at the con all three days enjoying the show both as fanboys and creators. We sold a good number of our books and t-shirts, far more than I expected. I sketched for everyone who bought a book, it was a dream come true to actually do this for people. I can't thank those who dropped by our booth and took a chance on the book enough! You made my weekend and helped me realize a dream, amazing.

Well, Jon and I are pumped to start the next book and work on some other projects while waiting for the next show. We may do a few smaller cons before NYCC swings back around a year from now, lord knows we should if we want to strike while the iron is sort of hot, haha.

For any interested, the full color first issue of Bontebok Comics containing 3 original short stories plus bonus material, along with the Bontebok Sketchbook Volume 1, and an original sketch is available for $3 (yeah, all that for $3!), add a $1 for shipping within the US, contact me if interested and we'll discuss paypal and money order options. The Bontebok site should have a preview of the book up soon, along with an image of the cool t-shirt we designed and are selling too. You can see images from the book on my blog too. You can get the shirt and all the comic stuff as a bundle for $10, plus a little shipping. Get in touch with Jon or me through this site or send e-mail to bontebok@gmail.com.

Yeah, so NYCC was amazing, now it's time to keep producing and push things to another level!!!

We have been working the last 2 weeks on getting the finishing touches done so we can get this bad boy to print. It's been a lot of fun and I can't wait to hold the book in my hands.

I just wanted to post here to say that if anyone happens by this page and would like to check out the book, please contact me. I just want as many people as possible to check this book out, it's not going to have a huge print run and we have virtually no promotion save stuff like this but it's just for fun and something we worked hard on. So, let me know if you're interested.
