The Dark Side 3

Bowie... The Berlin years

The Dark Side 2

Spacey Syd Barrett. Another 'Dark Side' illustration for the great XL magazine here in Italia.

These continue to be more and more fun. The best part about doing illustrations of a real person is that it keeps you working with a set group of 'rules'. You know when you're getting away from who and what that specific person is/was. I like boundaries in art. I also think that it's important to try and capture the essence of the person more than a dead-on likeness. Next one up is Bowie during the Berlin years. Shakin' in my boots already....

Before Watchmen

The Dark Side...

Amy Winehouse. The first illustration for a monthly column in XL written by Carlo Lucarelli, a fantastic music and pop culture magazine here in Italy.

Winter Soldier 5

This is the last of my Winter Soldier covers and probably the last non Rorschach job comic-wise for a while. Hoping to come back to covers with a fresh approach when the book is finished. Feeling the need to shake things up a bit, both technique wise and conceptually.

The world is black and white...

RORSCHACH

Rorschach's journal: January 2nd, 2012

Streets are covered in snow, as if it could somehow hide the filth underneath. Saw homeless man frozen to death on subway grate on the corner of 42nd and 9th. Icicles coming out of frozen nostrils and burst blood vessels in open eyeballs. Winter only quiets sound of malcontent, perversion, and sickness. Spring is coming soon enough, when the junkies, prostitutes, and parasites will thaw and their disgusting, rancid flowers will bloom. Summer. Summer is worse. In the end, content that winter keeps most horrid truths indoors. At least inside, arms and fingers break behind closed doors...
