when the moon hits your eye

when ever i think of venice, i think of the little skinny boats and a guy in a striped shirt singing that song. yes i just stereotyped but its a beautiful dream. this painting comes to life and is almost a 3d picture when you look at it compared to the background. the water is real i have seen that in real life somewhere so live it up and i am planing to go to italy. cause a incomplete project can still change my mind.

she searches for the vampire

and his name is D (yes i used a capital letter) this is the same same art style as the source material for vampire hunter d. if you ever seen the second movie blood lust you know how intense the character can be. this is not d, this in not his artist, this is not a character from his adventures this is a fantastic blue-white lady with a knack for swords

this has to be the most signature symbol of a super villain. i can think of a dc and a marvel character that would love to ride around like this. the atmosphere is set and you should make sure oyur kids are not abducted.

the whole truth

so this explains me right now, i am in the midst of doing to many things and not having enough time to do this. i want to ramp up and be as consistent as i possibly can my goal is to make a true real life friend that can draw. i'm going to be the most focused on entering into the artists realm. but we all are victims of our own restraints hope fully you have the key in your other hand. because its photo realistic

crocks who run the streets at night bringing down property values and defiling a public library. wait look at that, did you have to go to college to learn to draw like that? how long have you been training to be at that proficient of a level. the sun i s out and that didn't look like you did it over night, wait don't tell me you got permission! the contrast that this is art and it was birth from bad kids doing bad things with spray paint.

yo i want to shout out the art style more than the image, this is one example of an overall style. yes it ebbs and flows from side to side but i like it. i like all the art and styles i put here but a person that has a portfolio of marker magic is henceforth a marker magician. congrats on the title and may it serve you in some way shape and from.

people watching

if you ever notice the background charaters in animation or comics or plain art they tend to be very generic. same hight, same shape, hell same colors. but a head shot study like this shows that when used properly you can make the nobodies in the fuzzy tiny corner of a image the stone that turns your project from rubble to a castle wall.

damnit! just straight damnit!

i watch more cartoons than i care to admit and anyone who is looking at this post probably does too. i wan looking for new art when i cam across some news that two of the best shows in 2012 have been cancelled. Tron Uprising and Motorcity. both were/are visually stunning, advanced and capable of maintaining an adults attention without making them feel out of place. anyway the next artist is where i stumbled across the news and i want to quote my "sources" anyway hopefully they add some thing as good or better to fill the gap.

and thus we were never born

'you lying two faced son of a belly crawling basterd' imagine if eve had reacted like that insteaad of trusting the serpent. free love plentiful food and vacation for life. but no it didnt work out that way we will burn the earth beyond recognition and if you are a purest we all all beyond redemption and will be cast into the fires of hell when we die. ok, ok i am taking this a little to far to the right but hey i know adam is wishing this is how it turned out back then.

i love the colors and the softness of eve(no that this is actualy a dipiction of her), she doesnt have to be all t and a. if you are dirty minded just think of the posibilities.

the view you kill for

i been to france (if that's bragging so be it) but i didn't get to the water. i have a friend who lives in italy and yes the picture she sent me looks just like this. i am going to commit my life to making sure i do anything short of killing someone to be able to live in a place like this when i am old and tired. great job and i hear you are about to release a comic in france in the near future let me know where i can get an inside look.

a question for anyone with knowledge of french comic books. Humanoids Publishing in america a version of Les Humanoides Associes in france. i just got my hands on Morgana and i need more. help me find out about it.

i hunt comics

i hunt comic books, half the joy of reading comics is the hunt for back issues. i have a huge collection of graphic novels, i have orderd from ebay and various stores, hell right now i am minutes away from buying some books to add to my liabrary. but the truth is i love looking in long boxes to find that 50cent jem of a book i been looking to fill the gap in my back issue colection so i can continue my journey in the stories world. so i went to a local event and had to say thanks to the organizer for giving me a chance to run hunt and stalk for the books i could so eaisly just buy online or ask my local shop to pull out for me. the hunt is the thrill i live for in this long journey of super heros and crazy bad guys.

thanks

oh yea, i knew that was american

i loved this show wanted the original 80's 8 episode series, the 3 episode ova. and the 26 episode remake. any way a long time ago i goggled some images of bubblegum crisis and ran across this and many more. anyway for a manga image i could tell those lines where not from the land of the rising sun. have you ever found out something you liked was made by someone you could find. of all the nameless, faceless art on google to find the guy talking about is is an eye opening experience shows the world is that much smaller

the source of my spark of this thing

i was introduced to comics in the 80's i was to young to care to read them like i do now, but i wasn't to young to have a seed planted into my mind. a seed that grew a mighty tree of knowledge that beard fruit of creativity and crafting universes.

anyway this is about that spark and it was birth not by a single image but by a genera, a time period, an art style. these two pieces represent the culmination of an era, the one that i was introduced to and that most artist today have been influenced by or tried to emulate. today we have so many different derivatives of this style and this style is the result of a style before it. but to me it shows the everyday man that every child could see around them and hope to grow into actually being more than a man( or a woman sometimes). but the exaggerations and unrealistic aspect of some art that i mostly don't feature here (not that there is anything wrong with different art styles) are something that most people try to pull back from in a simply art view. they may work perfect in the context they are presented but when you want to do it big they tell you study your history.

thank you for this blast from my past. inspiration to keep up with the art and see where it goes in the next era and generation

new cartoons for tv

marvel is now. so the the then is free game. if someone could just have free reign and make new stories and adventures and animate it, i think they would have something great on their hands.

i want to see this done, i am a huge fan of all types of animation. and i like the interpretation and the feel of this concept. i believe animation and movies are adaptations. that means some one takes an existing idea and adapts in in their own vision to a format that is not the source. so if you make a movie or a cartoon in this case i don't want you to always exactly copy what was in the comic book.

i love the art in comic books but i know the challenge of trying to animate that kind of work exactly as it is. so when i see older cartoons try to be a comic book and not take the chance to go with a unique art direction, i notice where they fall in history. this concept would turn into a classic series, one that would hold its own with what ever animation turns into 20 years from now. if you look at the meat and bones of some animation from 20 years ago only a few can actually howl their own against some of the current work of the day.

so to you mr. ankle n socks please flesh this idea out. you have to plot a first story ark, story board it and flesh out the concept designs of at least 13 episodes. find a contact in animation and tell them you want to at least pitch this. (of course i have said not a single word of having marvel or disney's permission). at the very least if you add that to your portfolio i know you can command a pay raise as you are a working professional.

p.s. i feel good for not giving you a short post. i need to step my game up in 2013 so i can be at a place where i can work with all the talent i feature here on Jones Loves Art.

high end production facility

this is a lab where experiments get done and the final product is places in stylized containers to be sold in ultra boutiques. the investment in this workspace tells me this is a master of the new and digital landscape that most things are transitioning too. the end product's format is not that important as long as it is quality. i like pencil, pen, and paper but this is nice ass hell. besides imagine the games he can run on a set up like that.

work life balance

the work life balance is a challenge for the most level headed and dedicated people. and for some reason when people hear you work from home they can only see pajamas, bowls of cereal everywhere and rushing to meet deadlines. you could be head down in this office and realize that you need a break and then start using another part of your brain and relax to the beat of your drum.

phone off, no distractions

i can see hard work coming off this desk. head down, pencil up, and magic happening. i believe you need a proper location to create, and a proper location to work. i seen someone post somewhere online that all then need is a library, an ipod, and a sketch book to do both. there is a very big difference between working and creating, they may be identical at times but they are very different indeed, but both need the hard work that comes off this table.

1st of the year

get to work, you've been all talk and promises. the next big thing, the dream come to life, the change that changes everything, hell i got years of resolutions to look back at and use for motivation and as cautionary tales. i am a weird one last years resolution was "no fear, no regret". this year i got a dozy of a year long challenge, "results" how do you get results, how do you qualify things as results, hell how do you even know what the results are that you really want. simple you close your eyes start working and then open your eyes and make corrections as you move along. so for the easiest thing i can think of to getting this 365 challenge going i'm posting 3 picks of work.
