How hard was that!?

2008-07-17T12:01:00.000-07:00

So many websites and so many projects. I hardly get to post stuff on the blog and its perhaps the easiest to update. I like this portrait of WitchDoctor; Jovan Carrington's father, Gerard in his younger, funkier days. Dig this cat in future issues of the True Voodoo Action Series.

New MetroTimes cover!

2007-05-01T11:40:00.000-07:00

Sam Raimi and Josh Becker are the Detroit filmmakers featured in the May 2 issue of MetroTimes. I had two days to do the job and I surprised myself when it came out so good. I hope to do more work with MetroTimes in the future.

Caricature: Gone Fishin!

2007-04-26T00:01:00.000-07:00

Another favorite commission for GM reitirees.
14X17 Marker paper, with Prismacolor markers, colored pencils,
and archival brush tip PITT pens.

World's Greatest JIM!

2007-04-25T23:52:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite commissioned pieces.
14x17 Marker paper with Prismacolor markers, colored pencils,
and Pitt archival brush tip pens.

Shaquille Oneal

2007-04-25T23:49:00.000-07:00

Shaq Diesel was on a whole notha level;
he did that track with the Fu-Schnikens.
Such is the forgotten legacy of HIP HOP.

Tom Cruise

2007-04-25T23:46:00.000-07:00

This guy is a little crazy.

Condoleeza Rice

2007-04-25T23:42:00.000-07:00

This caricature won 3rd prize in the Grosse Pointe Caricature Show - but it was just in the water. I added the background later and gave it a darker sharper edge.

Caricature: The Friendly Faces of Science

2007-04-25T23:22:00.000-07:00

I recently drew over 85 caricatures for the good people at Assay Designs of Ann Arbor.
The idea was to show the company's friendlier side.
A caricature is a great alternative to staff photos.
I also drew the cover of the company's catalog and promotional materials.

Click here to see the caricatures on their site.

WitchDoctor: School Spirit

2007-04-25T22:31:00.000-07:00

WITCHDOCTOR'S WILDEST

2007-04-25T22:22:00.000-07:00

This episode pitted Doc against a monstrous vigilante armed with a hide of hypedermics. Medicine Man pricks his prey with poison and haunts the flooded French Quarter.

The Man Behind the Masks

2007-04-25T22:19:00.000-07:00

This was one of the last WitchDoctor pieces I did in ink - from then on I started using a tablet PC. This is one of my favorites because it was first opportunity to reveal Jovan's whip scarred back. Most of the masks are from my collection.

WitchDoctor in New Orleans!

2007-04-25T22:13:00.000-07:00

Episodes from the Voodoo Dawn series were unfortunately realized in the tragedy of Huricane Katrina. WitchDoctor survives a massive flood in the Big Easy and faces the many souls left in its wake.

WitchDoctor can't fly...

2007-04-25T22:10:00.000-07:00

...but he can definitely fall.

2007-04-24T18:52:00.000-07:00
