Here's my humble contribution to Jared's Freaks, Geeks, And Sword Swallowers- now on exhibit at Monkey House Toys & Art Gallery.

Have you swung by the gallery yet to browse through all of the wonderful artwork? The show will be up through July 12th... And Mr. "hypertrichosis" here will be waiting for you.

PENCILHEADS

Hello friends,

I just recently launched a new blog with two other artist-friends of mine. We'll be posting all types of stuff that inspires us: movie clips, videogames, concept art, photography, design, animated gifs, etc. We've been recording a podcast too, and, I might be biased, but I think it's pretty good.

Come on over, browse the posts, start a discussion, enjoy yourself. Perhaps you'll find something there that inspires you too. Click on the image to the left to go to the site- have fun!

Best,
Chris

Too Art For TV 3

Friday night's opening was a huge success! There were so many talented artists contributing and so many people in attendance that I'll have to return to the gallery sometime this week to see everything. Here are my three pieces:

"What Goes Down, Must Come Up"- part 1 Venture Bros. designs

Hello, friends! Just when you thought you were rid of me... These designs belong to the seventh episode of season three- The Brothers Venture. My output for this episode was double the last so I'm going to have to break it up into two posts. Characters below: Entman, Firestarter, Buggles Guy, Devo Booji Boy, General Boy.

Shadowman 9: In the Cradle of Destiny- Venture Bros. designs

Hello, friends. It's been a while since I last posted any drawings here. Let's change that.

The model sheets below contain both the final inks (on the left) and the rough color (on the right). It should be noted that the color depicted here was for presentational purposes only. I just tend to work up my roughs in color- especially when I'm having fun with the design. Characters below: Pre-Costume Monarch, 1st Costume Monarch, Monarch Shadowman, Shadowman, Old Costume Phantom Limb. "Shadowman 9: In the Cradle of Destiny" episode synopsis
