Tusken Legend

Sorry I haven't been posting as regularly. Things have been super busy for me. Some pretty exciting stuff! I'll post about that at a later date.

This is my entry for Super Punch's Horror of Star Wars competition.

This an old Tusken Raider telling a legend by the campfire about a demon with a fiery sword (Anakin) that beheaded an entire Tusken Raider settlement when he was a child.

2009 Oktoberfest Pub Kriechen (crawl)

Here's a t-shirt design I did for the Austin Huns 1st Annual Oktoberfest Pub Crawl. Should be a good time!

Sorry I haven't been posting very regularly lately. There has been a lot going on.

Victor Von Hook

I thought I'd jump on the Disney/Marvel mash-up bandwagon in honor of Disney purchasing Marvel Comics for $4 Billion. I'm interested to see what comes of it.

In case you can't tell, it's Captain Hook as Victor Von Doom (Dr. Doom).

Ink with digital color.

BE STILL!

This is my version of Max taming the wild things from "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak. I submitted it to the Terrible Yellow Eyes blog. Hopefully he'll like it and post it. It's a very cool blog. You should go check it out.

Parker: The Hunter by Richard Stark & Darwyn Cooke

Get this book. It's fantastic. Darwyn Cooke's graphic adaptation of Richard Stark's classic crime novel is dead on. Seriously. Go to your local comic shop or Amazon and get it today. You'll be glad you did.

Manly Adventure! at Modofly

Modofly just added one of my new designs to their sketch/notebook line. This is the cover spread and a mock-up of what the actual book will look like..

The quality on these books is top notch. So, hurry and buy one so you can be the first kid on your block to have one of these fine manly sketchbooks!

Howdy folks! Sorry I haven't been posting for a couple of weeks, but I took a (much needed) two week vacation to Italy. I'm heading to Comic-Con next week, so posts may be a little infrequent until I return. But, I'll make it up to you. I promise!

This was taken in the subway going from the Vatican to the Colosseum.

MMD Sneak Peak 2

As I'm wrapping up the final pieces for my show this week, I thought I'd just post little sneak peeks of some of the finished art. I want there to be a few surprises opening night. I will say that this one definitely falls under the "Mayhem" part of the show, sprinkled with a little doom. And it involves guinea pigs. Mean ones.

Monsters, Mayhem and Doom! opens this Saturday, June 27th at Oh No! Doom from 6pm-10pm. I hope to see you there!

Monsters, Mayhem & Doom - Sneak Peek 1

As I'm wrapping up the final pieces for my show this week, I thought I'd just post little sneak peeks of some of the finished art. I want there to be a few surprises opening night. :)

Monsters, Mayhem & Doom!

Opening night is Saturday, June 27th, 2009 from 6pm to 10pm

Please join OhNo!Doom in welcoming Chicago artist Jason Chalker, aka Manly Art. Jason is an illustrator, graphic designer and was also an animator on Richard Linklater's feature film A Scanner Darkly.

Come see how Mr. Chalker transforms Oh No! Doom’s gallery into a precocious pulp paradise of monstrous, maniacal and all-new manly art.

You WILL have a good time and you WILL be manlier from the experience. Don’t worry ladies... you won’t be manlier, you’ll just have a greater appreciation of all things manly.

Oh No! Doom
2955 W. Lyndale
Chicago, IL 60647

Find us at the cross section of Sacramento and Lyndale St. We’re by the California Blue Line stop. Walk west down Lyndale.

Child of Doom

Here's the final painting based on the sketch I posted previously. I used a reference photo I shot downtown (check the location tag to see where) for the setting to give it some atmosphere. This is the first time I've ever painted buildings, so it was a fun challenge. I'm pretty happy with how it came out overall.
