More Ninija Turtles

GEEKALERT!GEEKALERT!GEEKALERT!GEEKALERT!GEEKALERT!

I have been bored lately after moving back home to Jacksonville, FL and for some unknown reason the Ninja turtles got stuck in my head. Perhaps I am reminiscing my childhood or I just wanted to give myself some sort of manifestation to channel my depression...Oh well! Either way I think the image looks cool.

Let me explain the picture to you all: (From Left to Right)

Leo: I imagined the Turtles after their teenage years and Splinter is passed to that sensi heaven so now Leo has become their new sensi and leader. I think at this point in his life Leo has become a pacifist and more like a buhdist monk. That doesn't mean he won't fight or use a sword but instead he will try to resolve the conflict with words instead of action. Don't be fooled though he still carries a sword...Its in his walking stick.

Don: I imagine Don is still an inventor and scientist. I almost see him as like the Beast in the X-Men. Out of all the Turtles he is the one who wears clothes as he is trying to assimilate more to humans. He is holding his new bow staff in his hand which will pop open to a larger size.

Mikey: The skater/surfer guy and the all-a-round funny guy. I imagine out of all of the turtles he would be the one to get tattoos...I'm thinking tribal. He also wears a head band and has stickers of skater/surfer designs on his shell.

Raph: The only Turtle who still wears his mask and still trains for fights. I imagine he is all scarred up due to fighting and still slightly bitter at not being leader. The more serious one of them all.

OK...I know...I'm a geek! I admit it.

Turtle Fun!

Just having some fun and trying to get better at Photoshop still.

Broken Anthology

Here is my contribution to the Break Anthology comic being put together my some former SCAD grads. My good friend Brett told about it and I jumped at the chance to push myself to do something. It was a lot of fun and it's always good to challenge yourself to do something like this as it can only help to push you to new and better things.

All Sketched Up

This was done while listening to an Open Mic night at church.

Sketchin Around

Done in my recently completed Moleskin sketchbook. OH! And that is my 4th Moleskin completed if any one is keeping count.

More to follow....

Sketching around

I was just drawing to pass the time the other night and I came up with these two drawings by accident. I love how sometimes I will have no idea what to draw and I'll start with a shape... and then... BAM! I get a figure. In both cases I started with the figures in the foreground, Jason and Ronald respectively, and then I decided to add other characters around them. Usually I'm going for some editorial feel to everything so these images will be more than just fun drawings they evetually will end up in something more profound than this.

More drawings from Church.

These drawings are the second and third respective notes in the series from the Youth Conference I attended a couple weekends ago. I will tell you some of what I was thinking when I did these.

The top one dealt with us (Followers of Christ) worshiping together and what makes us who we are. Our D.N.A. makes up who we are as individuals and as Followers of Christ which leads us to break down walls. We conglomerate into one body of believers straight into Jesus' open waiting hands.

The bottom one is od Paul who helped to set the stage for believers. The two figures are surrounded by the presence of God which we all are even if we don't know it.

I'm amazed by how I can honestly do all of this in a short amount of time and really no clear overall idea. I basically set my pen to the paper and just listen and watch to see what happens and then...PRESTO! I end up with an image.

Thanks all for you support and until next time.....
