I know a bunch of you have seen this already but I figured I would post the final image with the title. My friends Jason and Robin are getting married soon and they wanted to put together a small comic as wedding favors to give to everyone. The illustration is an homage to an old Bill Sienkiewicz cover from Electra Assassin #4 (that’s why it looks so good, Bill Sienkiewicz is god). The title design is from the old EC Romance comics. This is my wedding present to them, they have already seen it and have already begun to pimp it around, so its not like I’m letting the cat out of the bag.
 

It's that time of year again folks! The DC Conspiracy's forth annual DC Counter Culture Festival is on it's way. Get ready,  tell your friends. Admission is FREE!

This is my poster for the event, it is also a sneak peek of the new t-shirt I'm designing for the show as well.

Thanks,
Scott

Hey folks there is a short interview with me over on www.dcconspiracy.com  check it out before it disappears.

Here is the finished cover to the DC Conspiracy’s Horrors of War anthology.
 

Hey everyone,

I’m working on the cover to the new DC Conspiracy anthology “the Horrors of War”. I’ve been posting the progress of the cover over on the DC Conspiracy website, starting with the roughs to the inks, and I just posted the partial colors tonight. Head over and take a look!

I will post the final image here when it’s done.

So I had a really twisted and vivid dream last night…it’s a little graphic, so if you have a weak stomach you might not want to read it. Just warning you.

I dreamt that I needed to find an answer to a really important question, and to find the answer I had to reach an altered state of mind. There was a pill wrapped in herbs that I had to take. Then in order to fully reach the state of mind to find the answer, I had to be arrested and put in a jail cell. There was something about the jail cell being the key for all of it to work…Otherwise it wouldn’t work right. So I took the pill wrapped in herbs and went out to get arrested. There was a time limit too, if I wasn’t put in a jail cell in a certain amount of time, it would all be a waist.

So I ran around the city (it felt like NYC), looking for a cop and wondering how I was going to get him to arrest me. I didn’t want to do anything really bad, just something that would get me in a jail cell for a night at the most. Then I saw a cop driving down a busy street. I ran as fast as I could in front of his car and he came to a screeching stop. I started pounding on the hood of the cruiser as hard as I could with my fists. The cop came out in a rage and said, “ What the fuck are you doing! Are you crazy!?!?” I was in a panic because I knew time was running out for me to get in the jail cell, so I said, “ Arrest me!! Put me in a jail cell you fucking pig!!!” Which did it, he grabbed my arm and slammed me on the hood, cuffed me and through me in the back of the cruiser.

Next thing I knew I was in this dirty jail cell with hay and junk all around me, it was like a cross between a medieval castle jail cell and a Mexican jail cell. But something was wrong… And I knew what it was and what I had to do.

I had to cut into my belly, reach in, and adjust the position some fictitious internal organ. If I didn’t do it this would all be a waist. And luckily, I had a surgical knife hidden in my sleeve…I really didn’t want to cut into my belly, but I had too! So I grit my teeth and made the cut as calmly as I could… I reached in and felt the organ and pushed it to the side where it needed to be for the drug to work. I laid back and blacked out…

When I woke up I was at home, and I had NOT found the answer to the question… I thought I must not have been put in the jail cell fast enough, or I took too long cutting into my belly. Fuck, I was going to have to do it all over again. So I took the pill wrapped in herbs again and ran out the door and down the street. But this time I couldn’t think of a way to get arrested. For some reason I knew that if I tried to do the same thing as before with the cop he would let me go with a warning. I was running through these groups of people thinking, “ No, I can’t do any harm to them! There has to be a way!”…Time was running out.

Then suddenly, I’m in an apartment and I have these thumb knives (like the guy in the movie Night Breed). I begin to cut my scalp, beginning at the middle of my forehead and pulling the thumb knives all the way around my head until the lines meet. I then pull my scalp off (like the “chilled monkey brains” from Temple of Doom, only it’s just the scalp, not the bone). Then my friends came in, it was an emergency, and we had to go help a friend in trouble. Everyone was rushing out the door, I was thinking, “ Shit, I can’t go out side like this!” So I tried to put my scalp back on and line it up the way it should be. The cut wasn’t very even, it was very jagged and I kept having to push the edges together to make them stick, but it wasn’t working. I thought, if I could only get my scalp on right, the blood would clot and it would heal… I kept touching it and adjusting it… Then I turned to one of my friends and (nonchalantly) asked him “Do you think I should go to the hospital to get this stitched up or will it be alright?”

Then I woke up.

I just think its funny that I was thinking “Shit, I can’t go out like this” and then turning to my friend to ask if I should go to the hospital or not?? (to have my scalp re-attached to my head!!!)  I don’t know why, but it just made me laugh later on when I recalled the dream. Weird. It was pretty vivid too and not as much blood as you would think. I wonder if it means anything subconsciously, like I should stay away from thumb knives… Eh... It was still pretty creepy and I can't believe I did any of the stuff in the dream, borderline nightmare.

Here we are, the final installment of Sketch Dump. I saved some of my favorites for this one. In this batch there are a few drawings done from reference photos, clothing catalogs even a movie still ("hands" from Powaqqatsi, great move to draw from!). If any of you are like me and can't afford live models, just pop in a movie and find an interesting shot, then press pause and draw, and there you go! The rest of the sketches well, I think you'll be able to tell which ones came from my twisted head. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!


part 3 finale

































The End.

part 2

And in no particular order, let the dump begin! Thanks checking it out!


Part 1 of 3

I've been saving all of my sketches done at the day job to share, I've been meaning to post them but I keep procrastinating, so I'm just going to dump them all here shortly. I just finished scanning 55 pages (small 4x5), far too many to post all at once. so I've decided to break it down to 2 or 3 big posts over a few days or a week, it all depends on how motivated I can keep myself. these sketches span from the beginning of 2007 to the end of 2008, there were many, many more but I reduced it to the best of the best.

A small taste, more in a day or two.
