SALUTE

Here is my salute to Jean "Moebius" Giraud.
He was and still is a great inspiration and made
me love graphic novels.

This image was inspired by a character in the
movie "losers" called Cougar played by
Oscar Jaenada...It was sketched in pencil then
scanned into photoshop and painted.

In 2009, while working in Sydney, I spotted 2 girls unloading their car.
The tall one had the wildest hair, reminded me of Afro Samurai.
That night i drew a sketch from memory.

Ulna redone after 10 years

2011-04-15T21:59:00.000-07:00

BEFORE: Done in pencils and inks in 2001

Concept for the look of a comic character called ULNA.

               She is a cyborg so made up of real flesh and also has the
              neuropeptides that gives us our feelings. neuropeptides and love
              Have this idea for a comic book just need to find the writer....

AFTER: Done in Photoshop 2011

She is much more real looking
in an alien kind of way. I took the pose from a frame of Uma Thurman in Pulp fiction.

BLACKSMITH 2011
Photoshop

Human anatomy got to love it
to get through this.

He started off as a thumbnail
on the emotion anger...
Quickly done before going to sleep.
Am glad the blacksmith is concentrating
on what needs to be done.
No more anger.

Sad day.....

2011-03-18T19:20:00.000-07:00

Decided to go have a look at the printers to see how was the work in progress.
Both had sadness in their heart as their German shepherd had to be put down.....
Am glad I got to talk to them in person and not over the phone. funny how life
takes care of things in the proper way even though it hurts on the moment.
He was old and suffering from arthritis big time...

Will be about 90 X 60 cm big enough.
