Rings and Arrows...




A little something new that I'm trying that I'll make available for the upcoming comic-con season... Sketch cards! Started with two of my favorite DC characters, with more already on the drawing table waiting for inks and markers. Lemme know what you think.
Thanks,

Tom Waits, work in progress



Something I've been picking at for a while... Based it off of an ad for the "Orphans" set. Need to get this one finished soon...

Rollins, 'nuff said...




...or maybe not. Quick study in the sketchbook... Did this one with a bunch of gray scale markers, a gray brush pen, and some micron pens. Based on a photo by the legendary Glen E. Friedman... If you've never read it, check out Rollins' "Get in the Van: On the Road with Black Flag". An amazing book that any serious music fan should read...

Exene Cervenka, The First Lady of Punk. I finally got to see X a few summers ago for the first time. I've gotten to see them a few times since then, and they will always be one of the greatest bands to see live. They've still got it after all these years...

I did this one with a Sharpie marker, and a pack of color highlighters at work one afternoon, waiting for the "work whistle to blow". It's a bit rough, but I'm proud of it anyway...
