MB 2011 process

sketch, line, flat grays, scrubby grays, color.

past Minibosses designs I've done have been pretty clean and bright, partially due to working in Flash. This one is done mostly in Corel Painter, with a significant amount of the coloring done in photoshop--but bouncing back between the two as I like some tools in each.

also, as it's for a gatefold vinyl release, I was hoping to do something a bit more detailed than what was done for the MB CD releases.

Minibosses 2011

The first Minibosses cover I did was in... 2000? eeeek. that's a long time ago.

anyway this time it's for a gatefold record release, which was fun to do--especially in anticipation of the printed finish. A cd case just doesn't compare to a big ol' record cover in terms of the art.








revised labels:

Aidan Baker: The Spectrum of Distraction

Artwork for an upcoming 2xcd project by Nadja's Aidan Baker.

I was happy to work with Aidan again after contributing art to the 2009 Nadja covers album, When I See the Sun Always Sets on TV.

Barbarian Lord

Oooops, I haven't been very good at updating this blog...

I've released 2 comic books of my stoic and grim Barbarian Character, Barbarian Lord.





Both are currently available at barbarianlord.com, or more directly at
http://barbarianlordstore.bigcartel.com/

Barbarian Lord Outlaw #1 will not be reprinted as the entire story will be released soon(ish) by Clarion books...

Hopefully will find time for 1 issue length stories before the Outlaw book sees the light of day...
