Star Wars Process

Here is a walk through on the process behind my Star Wars Nerd Nouveau piece.

First Step: Black and White Inking

Then Color palettes,

Which leads to coloring...

And the finished piece after more coloring and editing.

Professional Wrestling Tattoine Style!

With one more inking finished, I just keep working on the next one in Alderaan places!

What am I up to now?!

[jonwarobick]

I may or may not have drawn my dog into one of these pieces...

This is how I work now... Mirror mirror on my screen...

Introducing 'Nerd Nouveau'

'Nerd Nouveau' is my new project I am embarking on to show nostalgic imagery in a vintage format. I will show bits and pieces along the way here on tumblr, culminating in a full series reveal gallery show at Rogues Gallery next March.

Stay Tuned...

Children's Play Illustrations for the Florentine Opera Company. They put on amazingly talented and authentic productions and I am always compelled to create vintage-inspired work for them.

Pinocchio is their latest children's production and I have shown a couple of alternate head options I created as well. Although I am still drawn to the original head design.

Well hi there!

With my trusty English Bull Terrier Ian at my feet, I like to draw. Sometimes I forget to show people what I do, so I thought this would make it easier.

Here you can see work in progress, snippets, samples and finished pieces. I hope you enjoy all the visual ramblings that I have to tell and i would love to know responses to them.

Happy tumbling!
