Don't Swim in the Water

 

Here's one of the many spots we're creating for our promotional book. Lee built this little guy (including the water droplets) all in Modo 401 and then I did some CS5 Photoshop tweaking. We'll post more soon. You can blow-up on this dude. Thanks for reading!

Wacom's Cintiq--Is It Worthy?

For two years I've been contemplating buying a Cintiq. I'm old school and have always felt that drawing was to be done initially on paper. Though I love working with Adobe software. Wacom updates their products about every three years and the time was near. So, I vowed to wait for the newer version to come out. 

I was destined to draw digitally--I finally purchased the Cintiq 21UX (insert ominous music here). I made my big $2000 purchase about 2 months ago. It was hard to find the latest version because it seemed to be sold out on every site. Wacom must be doing well.

Unusual Coffee Logos

We were approached by a small company that develops protein shake cafes in your local sports club. Now, you'll be seeing coffee stores popping-up. A slick rock-n-roll theme with six very unusual menu labels for each coffee drink. Here are two of the sketches and final labels. The style is not our typical approach--we were asked to mimic a particular comic style. Drawing werewolves and making a living at the same time--whahhoo!
