Angels?

Angel sketches from one of my sketchbooks that I did sometime ago...a project that I'm developing to see if will work as a series of sorts. It's always fun to develop new projects. Wishing you all a great Sunday!

Doodle...doodle..DOODLES!!!

Are you all doodling? Yes? No...Maybe? Pick up a pencil and grab a piece of paper and go at it! 

Pen and Luc

Quick sketch of Penny and Lucas...my niece and nephew. I think these two will make a cute comic strip...I have a few ideas I want to play with I asked a friend of mine who's a children's book writer in maybe wanting to help write it with me. Look out for more sketches and doodles on these two. Cheers, Axel

A GEEK! page being inked

Hello all! Wanted to share an image I took of me inking a page using a lightbox. I do this to keep the line art clean pencil marks. Of course there are times I really want that rough and dirty look...so I'll ink right on top of the pencils. If anyone has questions about my process...feel free to ask by leaving a comment. :)
Catch you all later!

GEEK! updates!

Hey all! Wanted to share with you soem inked pages for GEEK! which are ready to be lettered and colored! Let me know what you think? I'm currently working on penciling as much pages this week...then ink those next week. I do have to say it's very enjoyable to be working on these pages...but they are taking a bit of time in producing them. In time I'll be able to produce these pages faster. I also have another project that I'm working on that has me designing robots...fun robots! :) 

Well, I hope all are doing well! I expect all of you to be producing some great work! So draw, draw, DRAW!!! 

Late,

Nueva York Comic Con

Hey all! It's been awhile since my last post. Been busy in my end...from going to NYC for the NY Comic Con to moving into my office space at Titmouse Animation in Hollywood.
Here's a few pics for you all to check out on my trip.
Overall NYCC was pretty good...it was crowded with folks walking the aisles. Tickets sold out right before the con started as well. I did well in selling my latest sketchbook, Japon. I even did quite a few sketches/commissions for folks. It was great to get a chance to talk to new con goers whom normally wouldn't be able to attend west coast conventions like San Diego. I'm really thinking of doing it again next year...let see. :)

Cheers,
Axel

Don't I look cute?

Gustav Klimt: The Magic of Line

GEEK! Page Uno

Hey all! Wanted to share with you the the pencils to page one of GEEK! It's ready to be inked...but I'm thinking in inking this page separately...instead of placing inks on top of the pencils. To see how it looks...granted this will be more work, but it nice to see the pencils and inks separated.
I'll be uploaded to next three soon. Also wanted to let you know we still need to spread the word on the Kickstarter campaign for GEEK! We need support in reaching our goal...thank you all that want to help! :)
