Black Market designs

Black Market designs

Before arriving at the final Black Market logo design, we produced several alternative looks.

the Unsolvable Problem

the Unsolvable Problem 

I have concluded that the worst dreams aren't nightmares. They're of unsolvable problems. This is just a very recent theory of mine. I posted an ode to frustration a while ago.

RHCP sketch

Red Hot Chili Peppers sketch

Here is a very rough sketch for a Red Hot Chili Peppers illustration.
I will be completing this later in the week.

Loki & Thor sketch 4

Loki & Thor sketch 4

I now believe I could have removed Thor completely and had a stronger composition. I spent far too much time on this.

I have added further refinement, color and lighting to the Asgard sketch. I will post the completed illustration on Friday.

Loki & Thor sketch 2

Loki & Thor sketch 2

I have begun to add some color to the Loki and Thor piece.  I will try to give this illustration a softer look like the Conan sketch.

Here is a preliminary pencil sketch for a another Marvel Fan Art piece. Thor is about to confront his brother, Loki, who secretly covets the throne of Asgard. I will post this in color over the weekend.

Ryerson sketch

Ryerson sketch

This is a tonal sketch for an ad campaign for Ryerson University in Toronto.  It will be completed as a digital photo illustration. 

'The Crow' sketch

The Crow sketch

I had the good fortune to meet James O'Barr, ever so briefly, at the Toronto
Comic Arts Festival over the weekend. The Crow, O'Barr's classic Graphic Novel has sold almost one million copies world wide and is about to receive it's fifth movie treatment. I did this pencil sketch when I got home.

Wonder Woman sketch

Linda Carter apparition

My good friend, Geo
(quite a devout man), was so distraught over the new Wonder Woman costume design that it actually began tormenting his dreams.  I'm not sure if this sketch helped him out or made it worse.

Pirate sketch 2

Here is another Pirate sketch for the chaotic dream sequence aboard the Christina Maria. 

Marvel vs Sony?

Here is a very speculative scene (in progress) in which the Marvel heroes confront Plato, Sony's little blue alien. We will be developing this storyline further.
