The things you do for girls....


Personal interlude here. Light some candles, listen to the sound of the violins, use the cheesy smile...

I did this piece a few years ago for my wife. Her favorite character is the Silver Surfer and she actually has a pretty awesome little collection of art based on the character. See, it goes like this: If you're a girl, it's ten times easier to get artists to give you cool pieces. Somewhere deep inside us still lurks that insecure little high school kid who never got the girl and is thrilled at any little ounce of female attention thrown our way. I've seen many an artist in action at conventions and it never ceases to amaze me how it's the same pretty much across the boards. Sad really, but I guess it's the way of the world. Case in point, I did this piece back when we had just begun dating thinking it would win me points. As for the big floating space fish, Sara loves to scuba dive. The ocean fascinates her and it's difficult to find her happier than when we're sitting on a beach somewhere.

At any rate, she was looking at some of the other Surfer pieces yesterday and it made me realize I'd never actually made a scan of mine. Don't know if it will be of interest to anyone else, but at least it's something new to post while I'm waiting to show off newer work. Now blow out those candles and give each other a big sloppy kiss.

buuuurrrppppp!!!!!

  1. Awesome! Love the negative fish. I drew Jacob and Edward from Twilight for my girlfriend, it was painful to do but earned me brownie points ;)

  7. I miss having the extra cash to buy comics like I used to. The style you use is probably my fave. Glad to see your art in the cell phone ad. You should post some of those drawings on here so we can all stare at them. lol
