The Phoenix commeth… again?

Well, as anyone versed in historical myth’s knows, the phoenix is the symbol (mythical bird) know for it’s death and rebirth. And know that hey zeus character does not have the monopoly on that myth. In fact it was around for millennia or two before him. Hell, his EXACT story was around in Babylonian times…. which for you historically challenged people… take a history class at a community college that does NOT have to do with the US of A. And the story happened twelve times throughout history before his version that is so etched in modern theological rhetoric. okay, where was I? Oh yeah, the phoenix.

The mythical phoenix has several different versions (which anyone who has ever played the telephone came can understand) basic idea is death in a fiery wrath and then rebirth. So… hence…. my web page was brought to a crash due to a potential compromise to it’s security and everything was wiped. Even the databases. Will everything come back up? eh… who knows. I have a lot of crap piled up here on my desk, so we will have to see. For now though… the site is up and I am kinda dorking around with my scanner and adobe illustrator. Feel free to poke around and see what’s there. I am moderating posts from previous bad experiences, but feel free to make an account and post if you like.

Sincerely,

So, Compair This…

Below I am going to link three images. THe first will be the actual sketch that was colored with colored pencils. Then it will be the live trace and last the live paint. I still can’t decide if this is worth it. It could easily be becasue I jsut haven’t figured out Illustrator well enough yet, but I am not too sure about that. Drawn in Fall of 2009.

Okay, So I can fail at anything it seems… LOL

Evidently I can’t get the BoB comics to scan and live trace… oh well. Here is an approximation. When I take the time to truly trace these in Photoshop I will upload them.

This was drawn in summer of 2009.

Celtic Tattoo Comission

Ted Collins asked me to draw this out for him for a tattoo. Whether or not he got it, I have no idea, but it was fun to draw, even if it isn’t my art style. Drawn in early 2000′s.

Sketches

I am scanning sketches into adobe and then learning to live trace with Illustrator CS2. SO bear with me while I scan them in.

This guy was drawn in the late 90′s, though I don’t remember who I was drawing.
