The Beatles: The Lord of the Rings

The Beatles: The Lord of the Rings, originally uploaded by manlyartjpc.

Super Punch is having an interesting art competition this month. Apparently there was a time when The Beatles wanted to make The Lord of the Rings and have Stanley Kubrick direct. The competition is to create the movie poster as if the movie had been made. You can read more about the competition here.

This is my entry. It's definitely inspired by The Yellow Submarine. It was a lot of fun to do. I even went a little nuts and recreated the old United Artists and DeLuxe logos.

I hope you like it! If you want to enter, you still have until 8:00pm pacific time on January 2, 2011 to enter. There are some good prizes.

UPDATE: Holy Crap! I won!!! Woohoo!

Blast from my past: The Lord of the Rings

Blast from my past: The Lord of the Rings, originally uploaded by manlyartjpc.

I was going through some stuff and ran across this piece of ... um... awesomeness, and thought I'd share. I probably drew this in 4th grade or so.

I had read the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings for the first time (of many) and the theatrical release of the animated movie was around that time. I didn't get to see it in the theater until I was in junior high, but at the time I thought the poster was so awesome.

The music is Nocturne by Daft Punk from the Tron: Legacy soundtrack.

Enjoy!

Huns 12 Bars of X-Mas 2010

Huns 12 Bars of X-Mas 2010, originally uploaded by manlyartjpc.

This years pub crawl t-shirt design featuring the Heat Miser from "A Year Without a Santa Claus". They had a fun idea: You check off every bar you make it to to weed out those who don't survive the whole crawl.

Sorry my posting has been a bit sparse of late. I've been bogged down in freelance design-type work (which is a good thing $$$) and haven't had as much time for the fun stuff. Things should start picking up around here in the next couple of weeks.

**Update- Shirts are now available at The Manly Art Shop!

Army Air Corps Captain "Wild Bill" Kelso was a man among men. A lunatic among lunatics. To quote Major General Stilwell... "That,... is the craziest son of a bitch I ever saw."

John Belushi's character from 1941 is one of my favorites.

Coming VERY soon to a t-shirt near you!
I will have a small run of t-shirts with me at Wizard World Austin next weekend. You can find me in Artist Alley at table 1101.

This is a pin-up I did of everyones favorite yodeling cowgirl for The Pixar Times blog. The very talented Jerrod Maruyama was kind enough to include me in their tribute to the upcoming release of Toy Story 3 on video.

The world of Tron isn't completely lawless. The brave men and women of the Computer Highway Patrol (C.Hi.P.s) keep the digital highway safe for all programs. There's nothing to see here... keep moving.

This is my design for the Threadless Tron competition.

I have a new print available in my online store. I'm really excited how this one came out. I had Tim at Nakatomi, Inc. do the silk-screening for me. He did a great job.

I did two versions. One regular and one glow-in-the-dark.

This is my entry into Super Punch's Calvin & Hobbes art contest. I'm fairly happy with how it came out even though I don't think I gave Bill Watterson's work justice. I had a blast drawing it. I combined two of my favorite things in the world.

Save the Date

This is the front and back of the "save the date" card Lisa and I are sending out for our wedding next spring.

I thought I'd have some fun with the March Hare concept, but make him a jackalope instead. For those of you not familiar with it, the jackalope is a mythological creature of the American Southwest that is basically a jackrabbit with antlers.

The Scar

Grindylow Idol, originally uploaded by manlyartjpc.

This is the Grindylow idol from China Miéville's "The Scar". John over at Super Punch invited me to be a part of an online "art show" featuring artwork inspired by China Miéville's books.

This is the book cover version I did.

If you haven't read anything by China Miéville, you should. He creates very interesting, complex and imagery rich worlds.

You can check out all of the art here.
