Commissions Dump

I've been designing a mascot for a t-shirt for a Wildlife Control business locally in my area in New York. The client wanted an extremely muscular raccoon bending a catchpole in his hands and mouth, with a backwards hat and tribal arm tattoos, on the right arm, having the NY Yankees logo embedded in it. And the city skyline will be in the back round. Pretty crazy idea huh? I plan on simplifying the city in the back round, but here is some work from studying raccoons and just some nice gestural studies.

Macabre Art: Made Spooky

I've been dabbling into macabre arts lately, especially tattoo artists like Paul Booth and fine artists like Saturno Butto. Creating disturbing, scary images is kind of a power surge for me because I like being able to have an effect on peoples emotions with things that disgust/disturb them. Yet we still find images of death, gore, horror, etc so interesting that we cannot just look at ONE image. I created this pencil drawing, of course, it's macabre themed. Something about evil, and darkness is just really inspiring to me sometimes, especially if your listening to a lot of Rob Zombie and Cannibal Corpse...
