French Comic Con Poster by Geoffo – Happy New Year

admin — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 09:58:33 +0000

Featured artist Geoffo designed an amazing poster for a recent French Comic Con. I love the use of the negative space and the very different art styles!

On another note, this has been a pretty life changing 2011 for me. It’s been the year of major changes in direction (mostly positive!) and all these changes have really taken up a lot of my life. (Ask me if you are interested to know what changed!) Looking forward to 2012 and wishing everyone a very Happy New Year!

Since it’s been a while since my last update, I decided to combine several posts I had been working on into one long post covering a range of different topics. The posts should be a little more regular as things get a little more on track but in the mean time, enjoy!

It’s a been a while since I last did some photo prints but I recently have got some Paris ones listed on eBay. Check out the different styles and if you like ‘em remember to bid high and bid often!

While on eBay, featured artist Di Amorim has some sexy sketches from various artists on sale along with his own work. Thought I’d showcase Red Monika from Battlechasers!

And finally, it’s new TV Season!
With that the return of the regulars like The Big Bang Theory, Fringe and the one I’m most excited with Supernatural. This picks up from the Season 6 cliffhanger where Castiel absorbs the souls from Purgatory to gain a lot of power. This first episode of the season opens various plotline including the new villain Leviathan (not your typical monster of the week), Sam’s wall in his head breaking down and maybe (just maybe) the return of Lucifer.

This episode shows the return of Death in an effort to stop Castiel. Wonder who the “hottie” will be for this seaon. It was Julia Maxwell playing the “Mother of All” in Season 6.

I’ll start with an easy question. Where are you from?

I grew up in Washington, DC and later went to college at the Columbus College of Art & Design in Ohio. Art has been a part of my life ever since I was 4 years old.

What are you working on currently?

I currently teach the comic book illustration class there, going on 4yrs. now. I have also completed a graphic novel, FX The Lost Land, with writer/creator Wayne Osborne, to be published by IDW. This is the second series in the story of FX.

Besides illustrations, what else takes up your time?

Outside of being behind my drawing board, I love cycling. For those road bikers out there, I love my Cannondale road bike. I bike as much as I can. I’m on the road during the warmer months and on the trainer in the winter time.

How would you describe your artwork?

Over the years it’s been hard to describe my work, but as time goes on, I tend to think of it as a stylized realism.

Are you self-taught? Training? Art School?

I would like to consider myself self-taught, other than the 4 years in art college. Outside of art school, you pretty much train yourself by getting involved in the things that interests you. And to me, I feel that you would want to naturally get better as an artist whether you have art training or not. There’s got to be a motivation there.

Who would you consider your artistic influences?

There’s so many, but for those that got my interest at an early age where, in no certain order here are Michelangelo, Velazquez, Vargas, Frazetta, Mucha, Sorayama, John Byrne, Patrick Nagel. Looking at these artist, really helped me take a closer look at my own work in order to take those steps to get better.

Thanks for your time and allowing me to showcase your works! Good luck with your future projects.
