Sketchbooks! Pentel brush pen

Poster tour Summer run, lots of sketching and ducking fate.
Gil got us green, the guy at the amish buffet was a farmer w/a
 tattoo of a pierced zombie Jesus fist bursting out of the ground.
Lots of crack/meth/hooker hotels and police encounters. A new found respect for
truck drivers and transients. Lot's of amazing strangers everywhere. Damn you Midwest!

I haven't been doing much figure drawing lately so that's on my to do list. I've
been sticking with ball point pens for a while now, it's helped me commit to the lines.

I did this speed sketch to show how awesome the Pentel Refillable Pocket Brush Pen is.
If you like brush and ink this is your portable dream. You can get super dynamic line quality and it's not messy.
It is half sumi ink and half butter. Seriously worth the 10 bucks.

a little recap, part 1

~here is a detail of the I CAN SEE T'MARAW design.
It's an enneagram for AMERICAN WASTE, by the way.

~here's the PSYCHONAUT design. It's sold out,but I'm reprinting
a revamped version soon w/ more colors.

Macrobe 001. 12"x16"water color.

Human Shell 12"x16" watercolor.

~This is a high texture, mixed media collage/under painting that I'm going to paint over  for the next couple of months, I've been finding photos and collecting these pieces of paper  for 4 years.There are
a couple more panels and all the rail map lines will line up in the correct order when it's done.

Here's a couple sample shots from the series I started when I got back from Japan. Spray paint, Ink, Acrylic, and Oils on wood. 6 pieces sizes ranging from 12"x12" to 12"x24" and 18"x22".

It's been a really long time since I posted anything on my old blog so I started fresh with this
one. I'll be posting all types of work on here, as you'll see. Commissions welcome! -James

a little fiscal hoe down satire(peek at a strip from my zine in progress)

all praise Moloch. I'm hoping I'll have half tone mastered by the end of this.

I'm doing a fantasy and sci fi portfolio at the same time and I think the alternating is
keeping me from burning out.
