Not sure if this is the official name of the concept, but Kamen Rider Kick Hopper and Kamen Rider W help me explain the 180 degree rule, a concept used in film that can be adapted to comics.
A quick look around my new studio space. It’s a bit of a mess, but it’s getting there.
Tweaked Lances tan a little. Might do some more before the final, but this is a good start.
Lance, 300 style. Still gotta do some color corrections, but here’s the process from sketch, to black and white, to color.
I love Henry’s hat project. He has a bunch of blank hats and asks his art friends to draw on them. I was honored to contribute.
MANHATTIN’ PROJECT TYPE - 8: THE OLD MONSTER AND THE SEA
Just kidding dudes, I don’t know how old that monster is, but he probably isn’t that old. Well he (or she I guess)’s old enough to have a tatoo, so I’m guessing it’s probably at least 19 years old.
Back in July I had the opportunity to get in on my 2nd art fight. So I brought hats. This first one comes from one of the founders of Super Art Fight himself, Mr. Jamie “Angry Zen Master” Noguchi.
Jamie is a super art fighter (see what happened there?), a super artist, and more importantly a super cool guy. He’s done a bunch of pretty sweet art stuff, but most recently is working on his webcomic Yellow Peril. If you don’t think that’s cool enough, you can follow his tumblr where he shows you how he makes Yellow Peril! That my friends is the definition of webcomics cool.
OH yea, totes can’t forget that Jamie is also a martial arts master. But I mean c’mon, you all probably assumed that anyways.
But I really need to thank Jamie and all the other Super Art Fight peeps (most of whom have hats coming up) for being so cool, and really making me feel like part of the Super Art Fight crew. It’s definitely been one of the coolest things I’ve done this year, and I hope to continue being a part of it in any capacity possible.
Enjoy the hat dawgs.

Time for me to start saving those pennies. SPX is less than two months away!
Some pretty good questions this time around. My answers include some ramblings about the nature of art and letting go. And for those interested in my old art tutorials, check out http://blip.tv/monster-cutie
Here’s a quick timelapse of me inking the comic for June 29, 2011. I may have done the timelapse just so I could use the Kamen Rider “Clock Up” and Kamen Rider Faiz “Time Out” sounds.
