Here's a drawing I did of one of 3A Toys' Berties for a friend. It's an exceptional toy line. Incredibly high quality.

Well, The Evil DM has made things public and official, so I can finally post this.

If you live in the area, you should come check it out! I will be at the opening tonight from 7:00-9:30pm. I will have prints with me and Amy's has some of the best ice cream on the planet. I hope to see you there!

Robbie and Rosie had a brief but torridly technological tryst that ended in tears.

One of the pieces for my upcoming show at Amy's Ice Cream on 6th, July 1st-31, 2010.

Hell's Angel

I thought it would be fun to do a pin-up version of the Hell's Angel emblem that appeared on many of the Flying Tigers stationed in China early in WWII. There were quite a few variations, but mine pretty closely resembles this one.

Memory Lane...

I had a family reunion this weekend out near Abilene,TX this weekend. It was a great opportunity to walk down memory lane and show my fiancé Lisa where I spent a good chunk of my early life.

I was pleasantly surprised to see this theater was still in business. This was where I saw Star Wars when I was a kid and a ton of other movies. It hasn't changed a bit. (on the outside, at least)

So many of the places I remember fondly from when I was a kid in Abilene have gone the way of the dodo. Jack 'n' Jill Donuts is one that has survived. Excellent donuts, and I've always love the logo.

My cousin and her husband train hunting dogs out in West Texas. One of the important things they do is train them to steer clear of rattle snakes. To do so, they have to keep a few snakes on hand.

This is Lisa holding a 4 week old puppy at my cousins place. As you can see, she's about to explode from the cuteness.

Lo Pan Express Print

Lo Pan Express Print, originally uploaded by manlyartjpc.

David Lo Pan is back with two wives and a monkey monster to chauffeur his heavenly hotrod through the hell of the too-cool-to-stay-dead sinners. Lo Pan's not such a bad guy... he wants what every red-blooded man wants... to go off and rule the universe from beyond the grave.

The Chinese characters say "Lo Pan Express".

This piece is printed in stunning archival ULTRAchrome inks on velvet fine art paper. It's really beautiful. The greens and oranges came out almost florescent.

Paper size: 12"x19"
Image size: 11.5"x18.5"

This is what happens when you mix "Big Trouble in Little China" with Ed "Big Daddy" Roth and add a little Kirby Krackle for good measure.

14"x17" Sumi Ink on Bristol

Rumors of my demise...

...have been greatly exaggerated. I was just on a long vacation. It was a great trip. We went to Italy, Greece and Turkey. I also got engaged. Quite possibly the best trip ever. So, enough about me, here's some art...

Space Jamie, originally uploaded by manlyartjpc.

This is some fan art I did for Girls With Slingshots. It's a great webcomic done by the talented Danielle Corsetto. This is one the main characters, Jamie McJack. The strip has nothing to do with outer space. I just thought it would be fun to do a space pin-up.

Just put the order in for these today. They will be vinyl kiss-cut trading card style stickers. I'll be using these to help promote my upcoming web comic "The Adventures of Major Maddox". I'll post again once I have them in my hands!

2010 Bloodfest Sevens T-shirt

2010 Bloodfest Sevens T-shirt design, originally uploaded by manlyartjpc.

Here's this years Bloodfest t-shirt design. Everybody missed the rugby girl on last years shirt, so I brought her back. I thought I'd have a little fun with the Coppertone Baby ad idea.

Here are a couple of close ups of the girl. One is the "nice" t-shirt version and the other is the "naughty" original version.

Major Maddox

Major Maddox Teaser 1, originally uploaded by manlyartjpc.

Well, I'm finally doing it. I'll be premiering my online comic "The Adventures of Major Maddox" this summer. Maddox is a character I came up with back in 2003. I've always wanted to do something with him, but never had the right combination of time and money. The planets have aligned and he is coming. I'll post more as he gets closer!

2010 SciFi Expo in Dallas

I had a great time at the Con. Met some great people, did some commissions and sold some art. It seemed like everyone there had a great time. It's a small con, but they had a pretty great guest list. I got to meet Cindy Morgan (Yori from Tron, Lacey from Caddyshack), Deep Roy (Keenser in the last Star Trek movie, All the Oompa Loompas in Tim Burtons Willy Wonka) and Roger Christian (set designer/decorator for the Star Wars movies and Alien.

Yori and the SciFi Expo

Yes! (Yori Print), originally uploaded by manlyartjpc.

Here's a pin-up I made of Yori from Tron. I guess I was in an 80's zone last night. It definitely has that Patrick Nagel feel to it. The bit floating above her hand says "Yes!". :)

If you like it, prints are available in my online store, The Manly Art Shop.

I will also have prints with me at the SciFi Expo in Richardson, TX this weekend. I have a table in the small press area. I'll also have other swag available and will be taking commissions. I hope to see you there!

P.S.- Cindy Morgan, who played Yori in Tron, will be signing autographs at the Expo. How cool would it be to get her to sign one of my prints? Really cool! You should totally do it!

Super Punch! Knight of Swords Tarot Card

Super Punch! Knight of Swords Card, originally uploaded by manlyartjpc.

This is my Knight of Swords tarot card for Super Punch!. John has invited artists to each do one card from the tarot deck.

Here's the original acrylic painting...

Here's the "Knight" type design separated out...

I believe he is looking into getting the deck printed at some point. Also, there will be an art show at the Bear and Bird Boutique + Gallery in Lauderhill, FL next March.

You can see most of the cards for the deck over at the Endless Deck. (not all of the cards shown are for the Super Punch deck, but I think he denotes which ones are)

Pulp Adventure...

Pulp Adventure..., originally uploaded by manlyartjpc.

This is a book cover illustration I just finished. I can't really give any details right now, but it's a pulp-era adventure. It will ultimately be layed out like a vintage adventure magazine cover.

Hope you like it! I'll post more as the project progresses.

This is a test of the iPad blogging system...

I'm trying out an iPad/iPhone app called BlogPress. I like it so far.
Here's a little treat for all you early technology adopters out there.

Mohagan: Star Wars.

Mohagan: Star Wars., originally uploaded by manlyartjpc.

My buddy Kennon draws this really great comic strip called "Mohagan".
It's about a goldfish.
In a bowl.
Believe it, or not, it's hysterical. So, I decided to do a little fan art for the strip. This is the two main characters, Mohagan and Grady (a skull in the fish tank), as C-3PO and R2-D2. I thought it kind of fit their personalities. Any way, Kennon got a kick out of it, so mission accomplished! Woohoo!

Check out Mohagan at http://www.needcomics.com/Mohagen/.
It's a good read.

Zosh

Zosh Logo, originally uploaded by manlyartjpc.

I know I don't share my design work here very often, but I thought I'd share this. My buddy Josh just presented at Demo last week and not only was the product well received, his presentation got the award for the best pitch. This is the logo, app icon and business card I designed for ABJK NewCo, Inc.'s product Zosh.

They developed a really cool iPhone app that lets you sign pretty much any kind of document and e-mail it so you don't have to use a fax.

If you want to learn more, you can watch his "Demo" pitch here... Demo or you can go to the Zosh website.

Staple!

I had a great time at Staple! this year. Thanks to everyone who stopped by my table and came to the live art event. It was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

I should be back to posting art & stuff in a day or two. I gotta get caught up from being out of town.

Space Age Thrills!

Space Age Thrills!, originally uploaded by manlyartjpc.

A new print I worked up today for Staple!. I really like this one. I love creating the pulp style paintings, but I think I enjoy doing the magazine cover layouts almost as much. It kind of completes the painting for me.

This is also available at The Manly Shop.

Staplers Ripped My Flesh!

Here's my self promo poster for Staple! 2010. I should have 15 or so to sell at the event. If I have any left I'll put them in my online store.

Also, here's the painting without all the stuff on it...

Hope to see you at Staple!

I've started doing my inking with a brush and sumi ink. I'm really enjoying it.

A long awaited package from overseas showed up on my doorstep last Friday. It was my 3A Bertie 7 pack. Holy cow that's a lot of toys to open at once! :)

The 7 pack is mixed in with some of my other 3A toys.

More pics here. There are 7 pics.
