The Life and Times of Hal Foster

This is a piece I did for a press conference about Hal Foster creator of Prince Valiant. He was born in Halifax, NS and some of the local artists and business people have been trying to raise awareness. We at Atlantic Comics were asked to submit art and help organize the event. Here's my contribution.

Slam Fan!

A piece of fan art I did for Dave Howlett's amazing old school Wrestling comic: Slam-A-Rama

Check it out. It's a whole lot of fun!

FULL COLOUR!

Here's my entry in a colouring contest over at Strange Adventures: The World's Greatest Comic Shop here in Halifax, NS. They had a lot of amazing entries which you can see here. I highly recommend having a gander. I'm pleased to say my fellow Atlantic Comics collaborator Shawn McLeod and I both won in the amateur category. Woohoo! $100 gift certificates in the store. I see the Invincible Library Vol2 in my future....

Bus Hero

 This is a scene from a story that's kicking around in my head and hopefully get to to sometime. I've been enjoying coluriong the last little while. I still need to figure out textures yet but not bad.

Cup of Tea

Haven't done any colours in a while and I enjoyed hte previous drawing I did of our hero haning out in a kitchen waiting for a cup of tea. Fairly pleased with the result but still a ways to go.

Still Alive and Kickin

Hey everyone. I'm still alive and kickin. Changed positions at work and been fairly busy lately (not to mention the drop of Final Fantasy XIII. Ahem.) New position's really great so far and has a nice side of having a little down time to do some sketching every now and then. This one was started a while back and just finished up this past week in between calls. Will ink it soon and maybe throw some colour into it too.

Peace

Happy New Year/Merry Christmas/My Birthday/ Etc...

Been pretty bust lately and lost a bit of initiative to draw over the past while. My amazing wife bought me a reference book for Christmas so I thought I'd try it out. Here's a quick(ish) sketch of everyone's favorite angry dwarven demon hunter! Enjoy!
