progress party

hey, everybody. want to see what i am working on? i will show you. i am working on two things (besides top secret Double Fine things):

1. Zombie children’s book
2. more Great Showdowns

the zombie book is with Simon and Schuster and it is due quite soon. so i will post progress here and there. the GREAT SHOWDOWNS is an ongoing project… so i will keep doing those… for awhile.. in waves and batches.
and that’s pretty much it. but that is enough for now perhaps. i am about to embark into the painting stage on these children’s pages.. here are some photo memories thus far..

… sketching and laying out pages for the zombie book in photoshop..


…here are some special scenes. poor guy. rough times for poor guy. a zombie looking for love…

..i’ve traced all of the drawings onto watercolor paper..

… and started laying in the basic colors. this is the big ball scene. (inspired by Back To The Future)


on the GREAT SHOWDOWNS front, i have done about 40 new ones! they are sitting there chilling out, waiting to be uploaded to the site. a gradual thing.


and that’s it for you, you guys! i shall keep you updated, world!

    OH OH!!! Could you do Edward Sissorhands vs Jim (the jock that was a jerk to him)???

    That would be a great show down painting. ^_^

    Cool update by the way. I very much like your blog!

    I love this article. There aren’t many posts that explain the subject matter.

    so excited that you're coming out with a zombie children's book! i just love the vintage feel in the lines and color tones of your illustrations. it reminds me of miroslav sasek & chaas addams whose work i both also really love!
