The Book of Wrong

Hey Friends, It's been a long time coming but my first of what I hope to be many self published art books is here. It's called "The Book of Wrong". In this book you will find a small collection of my finished drawings and sketches from years past in a variety of media including pen and ink, marker, watercolor, acrylic and digital illustration. So check it out, and I hope you like it. Later - Joe

All inked...

...and ready to be scanned for the coloring book. I can't wait to start doping some color on these bad boys. If you would like to see the final colored versions of these or get your hands on the coloring book, come to the Creepy Eepy opening on October 11, 6pm at the FOE Gallery in Northampton, MA.

Dracula!

Here is the final Sketch of my Dracula for the upcoming Creepy Eepy Show at the FOE Gallery. My Vampires don't shimmer in sunlight...they burst into flames and they most definitely feed on the living!

Trick or Treat!

...I'll take the trick!

Here is the final Sketch of my Trick or Treaters for the upcoming Creepy Eepy Show at the FOE Gallery. I found a lot of photos of Trick or Treaters from 1910 to the 1930's. Real creepy  and cool! mostly because back then they made their costumes out of paper mache and things they could find.

Behold Frankenstein!

Here is the final Sketch of my Frankenstein for the upcoming Creepy Eepy Show at the FOE Gallery. I'm planning on doing 4 finished full color illustrations plus some sculpts for the show. 3 of which I will scan after I'm done inking them so that they can be used in a coloring book that we are creating for the show to help raise money for autism research.

Get Creepy Eepy!

I've busy lately trying to get ready for an upcoming show.  The Opening will be on October 11th at 6pm, at the FOE Gallery in Northampton, MA. The show will be featuring  TEN artists from Massachusetts and Connecticut including myself. We all delve into the dark creepy recesses of our brains to create new works based on childhood memories, mysteries, fears and Halloween. Show runs through November 3rd.

If you're interested in what I've been working on for the show, I've been posting a lot of in progress shots on Instagram and Facebook. But for those of you who aren't into Instagram or Facebook, I'll start posting some in progress shots here on the Blog.

I hope you all will be able to join me at the opening. There will be a lot of great work from some very talented artist.

Scalvin and Shlobbes

So I was looking at our bookshelf the other day and I decided to read one of our Calvin and Hobbes books. While I was reading it I got inspired to do my own version. So I figured Scalvin (aka Calvin) would be an old guy dressed as a young dude. As for Shlobbes (aka Hobbes) would be funnier as a Daisy Duke meets Furry. Just my quick attempt at cartooning.

It was done with ink, marker and a little bit of water color on 9x12, 150lb Bristol Paper.
