Above- Final Design for My New Tattoo

Before I post new art by the end of the week, I thought I would just talk about some of my favorite things in entertainment. I wanted to give people an insight into what TV shows, Movies, Comic Book Artists, Comic Books, Novels and other things that I enjoy. I hope it gives you an idea of what excites me, and influences me, and you can see a little bit of where I'm coming from. These are the things that get me to dream and create and say, "that was amazing, I need to feed off that, and try and use that to make myself better."

Told you... What can I say, I like a LOT of things!

In other news, I have taken on 50 MORE JLA/ Rittenhouse Cards! Since I finished my 200 early, another artist pulled out of his 200, and I was given the opportunity to do 50 more cards. I just finished drawing the 6 new ideas that I will use for these next ones. I can't wait to show everyone all my drawings and the final cards for this set! I can't wait til I can tell everyone to go out and try to get one of my ORIGINAL drawings in the set as well! So exciting! I can't believe I took on MORE of these cards (you think I would be sick of them after 200), but I will just put on more of my JLU cartoons, and bang out 50 more! WOO HOO!

More ALL NEW drawings to come by the end of the week! I'm working on that Cylon pin-up I told you about, and a drawing of one of my favorite charcters. See if you can guess which one from above!

I'll talk to you then!

It doesn't seem like you're a David Lynch fan.. from your tastes, I highly recommend it.
You can even borrow Twin Peaks sometime.
