I'm BAAAACK.

Okay.. Two months since I posted..

Another case of too little time.. I haven't stopped drawing- just haven't had loads of time to scan.


Well to start things off: here's a pinup I did for James Mason, creator of Urban Shogun..

I was in the Gutters recently

Really. Literally in the gutters.. I've included a sample of the comic, but go to the Gutters website to see the full entry.

Hey- I'm in Layers..

Not "layered" in a deep kind of way.. I was just one of the featured artists in a layered article by Paul Hebron.


I had the awesome opportunity to work with Paul years ago when he was the Art Director over the Star Wars Miniatures line for Wizards of The Coast/Hasbro. He did an awesome job on that line, not only with the figures, but he used his graphic design skills to really improve the packaging.

When he asked me to write some words on the art of networking, I didn't know it was for such a widely read design publication, but you can see my words below.. Thanks again to Paul for including me in a gallery of much better artists than myself.

Unfortunately the issue this is featured in is the LAST issue for the Layers Magazine.. But I think it will continue as an online magazine if you're interested. 

Another Kerebos Sneaky-Sneak.

I liked this page a lot too.

Sneak Peek to Keberos

Here's one of my favorite panels from the story I'm currently working on with Director/Actor Kely McClung.. It's a prequel to his independent movie Kerberos..

Check out the movie page here.

Kerberos comic

I'm currently working on the comic prequel to the movie Kerberos.. It's directed by Kely McClung, and he's also the starring actor.. It's been picking up awards at film festivals across the country, so take a look at the website

Here's a sample page.

Okay. I've been a wayward blogger

October came and deadlines hit from every side.. Work work, freelance work, life stuff. I just had tons to do , and little time to do it.. To keep my sanity, I had to walk away from my blog for a time..

I love doing my sketches a day, but I have a looming deadline that I have to dedicate myself to in order to be be on-time. So for the meanwhile I'm just going to post tidbits of things I'm working on.

RiqArt is in the gutter.. okay "The Gutters"

See the complete image on The Gutters website

Yep.. I'll be in the Gutters Friday, Oct 8th. Okay.. no, obviously nothing is wrong. In Fact everything is right..
"The Gutters" is a comic centered online parody series. Created by Blind Ferret Entertainment, they feature three artists every week, mon, tues and fri,  to illustrate a funny/sarcastic viewpoint comics and the comic industry.
And I illustrated tomorrow's strip.. so stop by The Gutters and take a look.

Bad Kids Go To Hell- Get's sexy

I did the cover for the Trade Paper Back- The creators shot me these photos at a recent convention they attended.. Can you be jealous of a cover?

Skipping around..

Sorry for the lack of Updates for wed, thurs, and friday..

I have work that beckons me somedays, and I'd rather wait than crap out just anything.. But I'll try to be as consistent as possible in the future..

Okay.. I think I've got it.

I've been working at keeping the  blog updated a bit more regularly. But at the same time, I didn't just want to do a quick pics that I'm bored with.. So as you've seen, I'm mixing it up, and I think I have a game plan that fits with something I've wanted to do for some time now anyway..

Along with comic, I'm an illustrator. I like to interpret themes, ideas, situations, etc.. So I'm going to do sketches based on themes, Comics, Music, and sexy.. yep I said sexy.. Who doesn't like sexy? Even women like sexy.. cmon.. you gotta like sexy.

So that's That.. I'm going to steal a cue fom Jimmy Palmiotti, who does sexy Mondays, when he presents a collection of sexy pics on his blog every, you guessed it, Monday.

Mine is not "Sexy Mondays" like Mr.Palmiotti, but I'll say Mondays will be sexy.

Noir Tuesdays. Heavy shadows, square jawed guys, and sultry women.  

Wednedays will be Music/pop culture themed: What every person or band that I fancy at the time.. Done with a Flat Design-y approach. Like my Black Keys Pic before this post.

Thursday Grit.. The current style that I'm using, lot's of hatching and linework.. 

Word of the day Fridays. I choose a word and interpret it. Style is a wild card here.

Okay.. Lets get to it!!


I'm a little early for Music Wednesday- so I switch it up and do noir tomorrow.


riq.

RiqArt.com is newly launched

Hi.. I know I've been terribly absent of late.. I even have stuff to post, but I've honestly been too busy to scan.. I had some big projects to get done, and I've been working on a Green Lantern Painting too.. I'll unveil it tomorrow.

Also, I've been revamping my new website.. and it's ready.. I think I have a few places that need some touch ups, but the new RiqArt.com is up and running.. Stop by and take a look.

Hisashiburi. it's been a while.

Okay.. It's been a while- although for me it seems like only a moment..

I feel like I've been on a big adventure this past month- I've had so much work and life to deal with, I did really have a chance to breathe until this weekend.

I had been pulling all nighters to get projects out: a website, an application interface, environmental rendering, brochure layout, spot illos for WOTC, and preparing and going to the Seattle Emerald City Con.

whew it's over, and I can finally find some time to post on the ole' blog. Oh I forgot, I redesigned my own website too. It up, but I'm still tweaking it. Stop over at riqart.com if you want to take it for a test run.

Okay I have some stuff that I did during the con to post and definitely more to come.

BUSY BUSY BUSY

Sorry for the lack of updates lately.. 

The feces has hit the proverbial fan work-wise.. I'm have a lot of exciting projects, but the un-fun part is getting several hot projects out of the door with little time..

I'm also working fulltime working on the FX network show Archer. As well as updating my website.. RiqArt 2.0 will be ready and running by next week. I'm also gearing up for the Emerald City Con, March 14th and 15th.
