This is issue 1 (cover a) for a new comic called Nola published by BOOM! Studios.
I should be doing a bunch of these so keep your eyes open

Shapes

Ok, so here we go:
started it with watercolor and prismacolor pencil on Rives bfk paper (toned)
then mounted it on to masonite and covered it with a matte gel medium and did oil rubs on top of the dried gel medium.

SHE KILLS is on its way

Yup!!
Getting the site up soon also: www.shekills.com
Gonna start with 3 designs and go from there.
Ill keep everyone posted

Shapes, process

this pieces is coming along, i think i have about 5 more hours or less until im finished (but im going to bed, so you"ll have to wait bit longer to see the final)
so far its watercolor and colored pencil
the last steps are marker then oils
should be fun...

I could really botch this piece though, so if that's the case, this is all you get, haha

The Unknown #5

this is the issues #1 for the second part of the series.
This was a lot of fun to do, Boom studios just let me run free with the concept.
It's been a lot of fun doing covers for them, I can't wait to post the next 2 covers I recently finished.

New Wave Requiem

get a print here: www.theirison.com/store

well, I'm on a roll with submitting art here so here is one more
It's the cover for a new WhiteWolf r.p.g
it's called New Wave Requiem
it's about vampires in the 80's
how freakn cool is that

and yes, this piece is digital :(
I know, I know, but I only had a few days to finish it
and my traditional process does not like to be rushed.
and to make it worst, I think it came out even better then most of my traditional pieces....that bums me out but at least I gave the client something they loved
I promise the next one will be painted

and for all you digital artist out there.....now I know why you do it, its pretty freakn fun!!

Ghost and the Geisha

GET PRINTS HERE... theirison.com/store

this was a piece I did for my shows in October
not much more to say about it

digital Dity

I have another show coming up and because traditional work is not selling at all, Im going to try some large digital prints mounted on wood

Voyage

I finally got my work back from the October shows, now I'm in the process of scanning all the images. This part sucks because I have a tiny scanner and work way to large.
oh well, here is the first image I've scanned
it's 20"x31", done on Stonehenge printmaking paper mounted to masonite
I used watercolors for a base coat then rendered the skin with prismacolor pencils
after that I busted out the house paint (Behr) for the sea and sky
then I moved on to the hair with marker and a bit if acrylic
I finished it up with washes of water based oil

hope you like it

Blue

This was a little piece I did in Store 101, it was a live painting.
just thought i would share

Hack Slash #20

cover to a comic called Hack Slash should be coming out in a few months

just one more peek before the show

I really like how this one is coming out ,so I took a picture of me finishing up the line work
when I work like this, a lot of times I'll do the line and then paint around it
it takes a little more time but it turns out really nice

I'm about to go out side and shoot it so I sould have the final up soon...... maybe, ha

a little sneak peek

a drawing I just finished for one of the paintings for my shows in October

A piece for some upcoming shows I have, my scanner broke, so this is photos pieced together. It looks funny to me, scans just look so much better. Man, I miss my scanner

Blossom

Bear house paint and copic markers on paper

i thought this was going to turn out alot better but it looks way to cartoony for me.
Oh well, im just going to keep cranking them out untill i get it

Just having fun

I really was in the mood to do somrthing fun, big, and loose, ive used this face before but i thought id give it a try again, Im really working in try to build my confidence with large stokes, it easy on small work but its a whole different thing on large scale peices.
there will be more like this to come, hopefully that better
