Voida Voida in Berlin

2008-07-14T04:10:00.000-07:00

I submitted 4 digital illustrations to my friend Zeke Clough for a coffin shaped art mag titled Voida Voida. It recently came to my attention that a Voida Voida group art exhibition will be held at the Le Petit Mignon gallery in Berlin, Germany. The exhibition opening will be held Saturday, October 11th through Wednesday, November 12th. I'll post more details when the book is available. The following are fragments of a few of my Voida Voida artworks.

One Thousand Beasts!!!

2008-06-20T21:28:00.000-07:00

I am selling all one thousand individual india ink and brush beast artworks that I've made over the past year in this flickr gallery. I'm selling individual artworks for 10 US dollars or 5 dollars each if at least 6 are purchased.

As previously mentioned, these will be appearing in the Fantagraphics published Beasts! Volume 2, a book that I am very excited to be a part of.

And many thanks to the Drawn! Illustration blog for mentioning these.

A few books I'll be in this year..

2008-04-17T04:45:00.001-07:00

My digital Lovecraft artwork from the Exhibit of Unspeakable Things will be appearing in this insanely huge collection of artwork inspired by H.P Lovecraft. The image above should give away one of the artists included in the book, H.R Giger. I'm excited to have one of my favorite authors taking part in the book, Thomas Ligotti.

One of the three panels from this work also appears in a hardbound Lovecraft Exhibit catalogue from the show at Maison d'Ailleurs in Switzerland. I think it's only available in Europe, here's a thread discussing it.

Comic Arf, Craig Yoe's 4th book in his series of awesome art and comics will be published this summer. I created half a dozen letters inspired by the shapes of demonic characters that will be appearing in the book. I'll be doing a full alphabet to match those I made for Comic Arf later this year which may or may not become a small art book. Details on previous issues of Arf can be found at the Arf Lovers blog.

I also have artwork appearing in the Beasts! Book 2 from Fantagraphics, coming later this year. And I'm creating 4 digital pieces for an art magazine in the shape of a coffin called Voida Voida that will be published somewhere in Europe this spring/summer. I have a few other book projects I'm working on but I won't mention them here until details are finalized.

Traveling Magician

2007-12-20T17:34:00.000-08:00

Here's a digital collage sketch I threw together recently. Still rough but it gets the idea across. A magician from the Land Of The Moth passes across the lands of illusion, a continent dominated by a cult of magicians. One small part of a vast fantasy world that I'm working on.

I'll probably do 3 paintings under the theme of the Mutated Skeleton Cave for this shindig.

He's a Lovecraft man with an artificial hand.

A manipulation of a photo collage. The black wing like shapes to the left and right of the head are actually pools of blood from a crime scene photograph.
