More He-Man

Back from LA and had a fantastic time. Got to visit/meet so many cool people and see great art. A big thank you to all! Perfect 74 degree sunny weather to boot. What more can you ask for? We packed so much into a short period but instead of feeling worn down, I'm both energized and inspired.

Enough babbling, here are the other two He-Man show pieces.

Trapjaw's Revenge - 11" x 14" cel vinyl acrylic on illustration board.

Naughty Neck - 11" x 14" cel vinyl acrylic on illustration board.

Detail


For the Trapjaw / Sorceress piece I did a little lighting study to get the shadows right... simply a shoe box and a couple pieces of cardboard taped down, then lit from the front.

Lately I've been doing all my color studies digitally. Quick and dirty, like this.

The opening at G1988 did not disappoint. Several hundred people came through the gallery, including media and even a few celebs and from what I could tell, a good time was had by all. Jensen and his team did a terrific job.

He-Man Teaser

I can now share one of the three pieces I did recently for the upcoming He-Man show at G1988 LA in January (opens the 8th... I'll be attending with family in-tow). I was so excited to get the invite to this show that as soon as I stopped jumping up and down I sketched out all my pieces (and then some) in about 30 seconds. Granted, they've improved a little since, but the ideas are still the same.

For the other two, well, you'll just have to wait! I promise it'll be worth it or your money back.

Oh, and G1988 is working with Mattel to transform the gallery into Castle Greyskull. As if you needed another reason to go. It's gonna be epic I tell ya.
