Well folks, another decade has come and gone. Where were you when you rang in the new year? I was venturing through the neighborhoods surrounding downtown Denver with my dear wife and a small cluster of friends in search of the perfect party. I do believe we found not one, not two but three… complete with cans of cool Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and scores of people dancing to hip-hop like there was no tomorrow. (In one particular house I was mildly concerned about the structural integrity of the floor but it held out long enough to ring in the new decade) Now don’t go bashing PBR friends! I know it’s a cheap beer that peaked in popularity well before I was born. That is precisely why I enjoy drinking it from time to time… and when it’s free… well you’d have to be crazy to turn away free beer.

2010 – Year of the Robot
January 12th, 2010Mr. Lazzaro – Done and Dusted!
October 2nd, 2009Good morning and Happy Friday! It is currently 12:33 am here in the Copper Factory and my optics have started to fade out so you’ll have to excuse me for being so brief with this update. I’ve just finished uploading the final draft for Mr. Lazzaro and I would love to know what you guys think. The coloring style for this one is a first for me. Like some of my other images I used a layered smudge tool based painting method but before calling it quits I decided to give the entire image a bit of a wash. I washed all the layers with a slight golden hue in an attempt to pull everything together and hopefully end up with a somewhat “dream-like” look. Overall I think it turned out fairly well!
Inking and Plotting
September 25th, 2009Hello again ladies and gentlemen! Another small art update for you this afternoon. Progress on Mr. Lazzaro is coming along nicely though a bit slower than I would like. There have been lots of distractions this week. Between Nessi being home sick most of the week, reading the scores of submissions I received for potential writers for my upcoming webcomic and trying to get our long overdue taxes for 2008 finished ( yeah don’t get me started… the only thing I hate more than taxes is having to file them on an extension ) I’ve struggled to focus this week. Distractions aside I have made some progress worth sharing.
Mr. Lazzaro
September 22nd, 2009Hello again friends and good day to you wherever you are. I’m back from my post site launch weekend break with a small art update for you today. There is currently a small stack of art projects on my desk here so, assuming I don’t fall ill with the dreaded flu which is now making the rounds in Colorado, I should have several more of these to share in the coming weeks. Today I give you a first look at a portrait I’ve named: “Mr. Lazzaro”, an image that portrays my colleague and good friend Chris Lazarro.
