Here are sketches made for an APOCALYPSE NOW art print. Which is now up in the shop!
Now for something completely different...
Earlier in the year, I was commissioned by the Facebook poster collector group - WAFFLECON to design a poster for one of the movies in their movie marathon! I'm stoked to FINALLY show everyone! Plus I’ve been buried under a deadline so I haven’t had time to until now!
I only have a few copies of these available!

After talking to the guys at Wafflecon - it was decided to focus on Kurtz and the horrors he's seen and created. The pain & exhaustion & eventually the need for it all to end. As tempting as it was to just draw Martin Sheen quietly emerging from the fog & water to put an end to Kurtz… I wanted to go in a different direction.
This was drawn with a #colerase red pencil on 8.5 x 11 regular bond paper. I switched to drawing on sheets of paper instead of in my #sketchbook because there has been a demand for the original art on projects. I don’t haft rip it out of my sketchbook.
I ended up drawing the anatomy twice. I can get neurotic and sometimes find it easier to just redraw something rather than futz with it digitally. The shoulder & rib cage seemed off to me so I needed to fix it before I did the final pencils & inks.
Drawing the hands has got the be the hardest part for me. I have a few anatomy books that I use for reference whenever I need to get things right. I’m obsessed with accuracy even when it’s not called for. Funny enough - the head of WaffleCon is a medical doctor and told me that the drawing was spot on!
••ALL ORDERS are shipping today through the weekend! THANK YOU to everyone for their patience while I finished up a BIG project! Can’t wait to show you!
