My sister, Celena turns 23 today. She tells me she enjoys my art, but I don't think she has ever seen this blog. Until today.She's very nice, always has a smile on her face when she sings, Spider Pig (her favorite song of all time).
I gave her this painting a couple months ago for her early birthday present. She likes it but thought the lines coming out of his/her face were fire. I told her it was a Poppin fish but Im not sure if she knows what they look like. Love you sisiter, Jake
Here's a step by step process of a painting that I'm currently working on called Mika and Her Pet Bunny. Hope it works out for the greater good.
I have always been a huge fan of DC Digests from the 1980's. These smaller size comics with more pages were ideal reading ,which contained around 100 pages for 50 cents. Why DC should revamp this size is beyond me, it would be a great marketing tool to go up against the Manga books that have been huge in the US for the past decade.
Here's a scooter and motorcycle event in North East on Sat. July, 25th of 2009.
And here's my take of the dog with glasses.
There has been many comic books written about the masters such as Will Eisner, Jack Kirby, Robert Crumb, and Carl Barks. But I haven't seen anything on Bruno Premiani who created some of most surreal comics. He drew in style almost unknown in the US comics of the day, an European flavor with a eye of draftsmanship. 
I first came across Bruno's work from a cover less comic of The Doom Patrol #95, The Menace of the Turnabout Heroes, in my mid teens. Shown above is a page from that comic. What stuck me was Bruno's art had a classical style to it but a further look it was visually bizarre and hints of surrealism. For instance, here's a scene where the leader The Chief, who is in cast of a metal shell of robotman fighting the Animal-Vegetable Mineral Man. Or from the page on top Rita the Elastic Girl grows part of her body.
A friend sent me this picture of Masea Motorsports in her stay in Nicaragua. What I find fascinating is the image of Helmet Bunny. You can see variations of it in Rada #3 and also here
Still working on Rada #3, at least 70% completed. The work has slowed down and I hope to be finished by the month, and then will be able to post it on my blog.
I'm not a huge fan of doing a 24 page comic in 24 hours. It can get tiresome after the 16th hour and the work becomes water down . But if I do it on Oct 3, this image would be the vocal point of the story. I love the image of duck who is morph into a boat, thou I hope I can find a strong storyline to fit within the comic.
There she is standing inside Khan's Mongolian restaurant in St Paul, Mn.
My little sister who just turned 21 is one of nicest people you will ever meet. She gets this trait from our mom and because she is just a kind and deserving person I gave her the Kiss painting.
