San Francisco Giants Cheer Card

This was an illustration job I did for NBC Sports in SF and it was an 11x17 inch baseball card poster like deal. I was given the player Jonathan Sánchez as my subject and I created this piece in Adobe Illustrator after creating some roughs in Photoshop. In addition I got tickets to the game that was on was the anniversary of his no hitter against the San Diego Padres. July 10, 2018 was the game and I even appeared briefly on the NBC sports show talking about what I created. They handed these cheers cards out to fans for free and I signed a few. All in all a fun assignment and a fun night! Here are pictures below of the art, final print and also my TV appearance. I just dig the Jack In A Box character in the background!  

Book Covers

Here are three book cover illustrations I have created over the last few years. All three were digitally created in Photoshop and Illustrator. Of the three covers presented here two were for actual printed books and the most recent cover titled NICK NOMAD AND THE HAMMER OF LEMURIA was for an e-book only. Here is the link to it.. http://www.amazon.com/Nick-Nomad-Hammer-Lemuria-Adventures-ebook/dp/B00WLAWHPS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1429915344&sr=8-1&keywords=nick+nomad

Farewell Mr. Nimoy

Earlier today Leonard Nimoy passed. He was an actor, director, creator, writer, photographer, etc.who played a character Mr. Spock on a fun little show called STAR TREK. I decided to create a tribute image in Photoshop of Mr. Spock this evening. So Live Long and Prosper in the great beyond Mr. Nimoy and thanks for your great and inspiring work.

BENEATH

It has been a busy half year of 2014 and I keep noticing I have not posted in this blog even though I have created much content. So now in the second half of 2014 I will play catch up. Anyways here is something from the the second half of last year. I illustrated the cover and back cover of a novel titled BENEATH by writer Peter Alexander. I have done various illustration jobs with Peter throughout the past decade or so. Anyways this novel has an apocalypse plot dealing with the journey of survivalist Dennis Quant along with his niece Aggie.The two illustrations I did for the book were created in Photoshop.The BENEATH title font on the cover I roughed out in Photoshop and cleaned up in Illustrator. I am posting images of the final art alone, the actual book and a few pictures of a book signing by Peter. Peter is on Facebook and is in the process of getting a main site going again. If you want more information or to see if any copies of the book are available just contact me.

Halloween Inspired Digital Images

Here are some Photoshop created digital drawings I created inspired by the various horror films I have seen lately and the October/Halloween season. Most of these I created pretty rapidly as I have not had much time at home with my gear of late. Anyways I may post another group of these next week. Chills and scary dreams! 

Friday 1999

I could not resist creating this very fast Photoshop illustration mash up of two different properties. Why did I do this? Well today is Friday the 13th and September 13th at that. The fun and let's say a bit nutty at times in style and substance SPACE 1999 started with the date September 13, 1999 in it's storyline and of course throw in Jason from the FRIDAY THE 13th horror film series. I have seen most of the FRIDAY THE 13th film series and find it quite fun at times and like 1999 a touch nutty, but fun in the end. Anyways I whipped this image up in Photoshop as this certain date comes to an end.
