Noir

After I made my weekly trip to my comic book store, I found this:
Noir - A Collection of Crime Comics by by Brian Azzarello (Author), Ed Brubaker (Author), Stefano Gaudiano (Author), Fabio Moon (Author), Gabriel Ba (Author) and others.

Wow!!! Can it get better then this?
Some of the best artist and authors in the industry applying their skills to my favorite genre.

I believe film noir and its visual style came from German Expressionist cinematography.

I cannot wait to read it and hope you will pick this up as well.

Death @ 92

Irving Penn, whose iconic images spanned time, dies at 92 in his Manhattan Apt. Wednesday night Oct 7th 2009.
His photography was mesmerizing and beautifully artistic.
The images that appeared in the pages of Vogue, brought fame and fortune.
I personally am a huge fan of B/W photography, so his photos drew my attention.

Super Spy

I don't really have anything to blog about myself or any of my work, but I thought I share a wonderful book I just discovered. "Super Spy" by Matt Kindt.
Short stories of the life of a spy during World War II. I am mesmerized about each page. Very innocently illustrated, but on a mature level. If you should see this in your local book store, pick it up cause it's a good read.

Teaser Cover & Promo

Im posting a potential cover and promo for my first issue of Paradise Road.
For now Its in B/W, which I later will bring in the colors.

Jack Kirby’s birthday

The greatest comic book artist of all time.
I thought I would display my favorite comic book cover of all time.

more pages

Just want to quickly upload one of the few pages I recently finished.
20 pages done with 4 more to go.
Another thing, trying to catch up with everything going on in Marvel and DC.
Secret Invasion, Civil War, Final Crisis, etc..etc...

Can't wait to see "District 9"
oh and has anyone seen the real "Avatar" trailer? Got mixed feelings about that, but I can't wait to see it.

Phase ONE

Today I got my scanner from Amazon.com
The Mustek Scan Express A3 1200 Pro Scanner. Its looks like the old mother from the 90's, but faster.
I just scanned the pencil sketch. Later I will put in tight details for Phase TWO.

Sketch

Its been a while since i uploaded any images up here.
Drawing a graphic novel can really put you in a whole universe where nothing else exists, and you even forget to eat sometimes. I have been busy with drawing pages, and starting to feel a little burned out.
I thought i just sketch and have fun drawing something random.
Just a random sketch here.

Silence on the other side...

Random page part 2

Random page

Took a pic with my iphone and I thought I post a random page from the comic.
This is still early in the game and this page needs photoshop work, once I scan it in.

Race Car Driver

I would love to do a children's book about a boy who want s to be a race car driver when he grows up.
Just something in the back of my head... to work on in the future.

Oliver and Paul

Paul Beckett Drawings

Yes Another Oliver

I thought I would lighten up Oliver up with a small smirk.
Logo of the comic title needs to be tweaked with further.

Paul Beckett

I guess I should be introducing other characters here.
Here you go.... Paul Beckett

Lawrence and the Cat

I thought I put up some of my personal stuff here as well.
