R.I.P. Muhammad Ali

I was sad to hear about the passing of the Champ this past June 3, 2016.  Being a fighter myself, I can't begin to speak on how influential Ali was to me in my life, He was truly unique, there will never be another like him.  Below is a quick painterly sketch of the G.O.A.T. ( Greatest Of All Time ) you can read up on Ali in this wiki article, HERE.  May GOD rest his soul.  Thanks for stopping by , Enjoy !!!!!!

Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, The Iron Man

Here goes a quick caricature study of Robert Downey Jr. in the role of Tony Stark of Marvel Comics Iron-Man comics.  So far Robert Downey has played Iron-Man in 3 Iron-Man films, The Avengers 1 & 2, Captain America Civil war, and several cameo appearances in other Marvel Movies.  I decided to leave this one loose and unfinished, just because I liked the way it looked this way and felt like it was done for now.  Thanks for stopping by, Enjoy !!!!!

R.I.P. Prince

I'm Still kind of shocked at the news about the passing of Prince.  Prince was an extraordinary talent in my opinion and will be greatly missed by all of his fans.  He has always been a fun subject for me to caricature because of his many different looks and wardrobe choices.  I loved that he fought hard for creator rights, a battle that artist should always continue to bring awareness to.  Below is another caricature I did of Prince from the Purple Rain album cover and movie poster.  My condolences to his family , friends , and fans the world over. Rest In Peace Prince Rogers Nelson (June 7, 1958 – April 21, 2016).  Thanks for stopping by, Enjoy!!!!!!

Spawn

I recently completed this Spawn commission piece for a friend and fellow tattoo artist (huge Spawn fan).  For those that may not know, Spawn is a fictional character, an anti-hero that appears in a monthly comic book of the same name published by Image Comics as well as annual compilations, mini-series specials written by guest authors and artists and numerous cross-over story-lines in other comic books. Created by writer/artist Todd McFarlane, the character first appeared in Spawn #1 (May 1992). Spawn was ranked 60th on Wizard magazine's list of the Top 200 Comic Book Characters of All Time, 50th on Empire magazine's list of The 50 Greatest Comic Book Characters and 36th on IGN's 2011 Top 100 Comic Book Heroes.  I believe I have the first 50 or so issues all bagged and boarded and then a bunch of other issues that I picked up throughout the years. Being a fan myself (not as big of a fan as my friend), this was a fun project for me to work on.  Below is the finished piece followed by a few progress shots. Also if you haven't had the chance yet, head on over to the Threadless site and vote for my Heavy Metal magazine cover submission, there is only 3 days left to vote.  Score my image HERE.  Thanks for stopping by, Enjoy !!!!
