Do Over

So I decided to re-do that piece i was working on before

I ended up working on it half way and gave up, just wasnt feeling it at all

will pump out a new pin-up gal soon..
in the meantime here are some biro sketches I did at work and next lvl’d through the magic of photoshops


Biro’s great, creates a new style altogether

Art Skool

4 years down! had my final day of our beloved COFAs, what a love/hate relationship that was. Bittersweet overall it will be missed thanks to the great people + great times.
That leaves roughly 2 and half weeks until my major project is due followed shortly by the COFA Annual in which all of the grads will be exhibiting in.
heres the facespace link. come all you arty men/womens!

In celebration here are some more old “comic scene” drawings I found lying around!
here are some marvel drawings i did like in June/July when the barrage of comic movies/remakes started. No matter how exhausting the ongoing release of these movies are, my inner geek will always get geed.

With these I tried to keep true to a traditional Romita steez of inking/drawing but got ceebs halfway through.

Here is some simple line work I did for Babekuhl and the upcoming “Kids Day Out” event. Pat did the fills and pretty much everything else
P.S.
Everyone best check out Rolls On Oxford at Taylor Square and their foot long viet rolls. Hit up the Chicken Roll, fresh as 🙂


Funny Pages

Working on a comic is generally ceebs/needs lots of effort and dedication.Growing up I loved comics, Japanese or Western. My favourite characters were Spawn and Spiderman espeically when done by dudes like Jim Lee or Todd McFarlane. As illustrators comic book artists are greatly underrated, the hustle of pumping 30+ pages per month is amazing. I owe like 90% of my style to those artists comibined with all of the Jap stuff.

When drawing a comic people usually read a script and think, “wow that part would be sick to draw!” but you never think about the “filler” moments
eg. heavy conversation between 2 characters over coffee for like 3 pages…
In these moments readers are usually dedicated to the words with the drawings in these parts being an afterthought. So I thought, wouldnt it be cool If i draw only the “cool” moments

So In short over the last couple of months ive been working on a series of random “scenes” from comics, for the reader to make up the story themselves. I might release them all collected as a zine but mostly, this was all an old idea I had that I wanted to sketch out for my own sanity…. sometimes you gotta do things for the love of it right?
Anyways here are a few, ill upload more soon, enjoy!

this one below is probably one of the worst things ive ever drawn haha. I did this like a year ago as a serious attempt for a full length comic, I thought id throw it up for the lols/timbo

——————-

Pick up a comic and read/look!

Filler

Thankfully scored another opportunity to exhibit a small piece in late October/November ish. More details to come as they are released and finalized.
So ive been hard at work on that + design major, in the meantime i’ll hit you up with a little preview of…….the remix
Yes it is a girl piece again, but with good reason. Youll know why once the gallery deets are out. Last girl for a while
…..maybe

Timb man Tuesdays




Tokyo

Its been nearly a year since we went and I still feel I havent done the great trip justice in terms of making something “creative” out of it. I did a few sketches of people and places earlier this year but still feel I need to do more. Maybe even go back and mess with a more tradtional style like I used to.

Anyways I saw these videos recently and they really took me back

A POV through Tokyo and its districts – Harajuku, Shibuya etc. complete with cheesy Jap semi-dance song. So go ahead and zone out to the pretty lightsss

Moumoon
This band is super light and happy. We first discovered them while trolling through an Arcade playing this new dance game. Their song was bumping and instantly got stuck in our memory banks, ask Ant he’ll tell you!
good times



be sucked in by the *happinesssss*

Tokyo Rising with Pharrell Williams


A nice watch if you have some spare time. Everyones favourite resident “skateboarder” goes through post earthquake Japan. Guest appearences by Verbal and some other Jap creatives acting cool. good stuff

AKB-48

the bosses of all bosses of the Jap Music industry, literally everywhere. nuff said.

Finally here are some more sketches from the zine to those who missed out:
