HANNA

2011-04-19T17:02:00.000-07:00

I was recently asked to contribute an illustrative interpretation of the characters from Joe Wright's new Focus Features film HANNA — a task I was more than happy to accommodate.

BATTLE OF DESTINY

2011-02-20T18:15:00.000-08:00

I drew this book 3 years ago and now it's finally coming out! You have no idea how difficult it's been to keep this quiet for so long, especially since I got to collaborate with CHUCK DIXON, of all writers! The book is out May 10, 2011 and is now available for PRE-ORDER.

Also, Mr. Dixon was recently did an interview about the project itself, and also had some nice things to say about my art which made me blush. Honestly, I didn't feel worthy to draw this man's script and feel very fortunate to have been given the job.

Needless to say, I am glad this story is finally seeing the light. I put a lot of time and energy into it -- lost a lot of sleep drawing it -- and it encompasses some of the most brutal pages in my portfolio!

Hope you'll check it out!

This sort of thing has been done to death, I'm sure...but the idea tickled my fancy.

I do enjoy Resident Evil zombie outbreak survival video game franchise, and for me it all starts with this lovely woman. I wanted to illustrate Jill in her traditional iconic outfit in a way that hasn't been done yet. Then it hit me...an anti Umbrella propaganda poster modeled from the famous Rosie the Riveter.

Apologies to J. Howard Miller.

Just for fun, I also attached another version of Jill I drew a while back as she appears in RE3-Nemesis.

YOU KNOW MY NAME.

Warm Up Sketches

2009-08-05T15:43:00.000-07:00

I usually try to scribble something down in the sketchbook before diving head first into the artwork each day. Sometimes those preliminary sketches become much more.

The first sketch depicts fan favorite Solid Snake , the protagonist of the video game franchise Metal Gear Solid. The second is Jet Black from my favorite anime series, Cowboy Bebop.
