When I was a kid, GIJOE meant neon colors! I have fond memories of my dad buying me GIJOES from the Eco Warriors toy line. I channeled those memories recently and drew all the eco warrior figures as mutated versions of themselves. I drew each separately on 8x11 card stock paper, then fused them together into a larger 18x24 poster. Each weekend I've done a little bit of work on the poster. It took about a month to finish the coloring.
I was hit up by a Twitter buddy nicknamed Cujo to participate in a neat comic collaboration.
He and other artists that are fans of the Gijoe universe are contributing to a trippy #BlackBookComic that uses the Joe universe to tell a far out esoteric story. Here's my contribution to the project!
Here's a deep dive into the Pretty Weird Art Archive!
Circa 2012-2013 I made fake fight posters as a way to improve my graphic design and drawing skills. I'd post them on Facebook and I had a buddy that would comment on who would win the fight.
He'd also make suggestions on what the next poster should be and give me "homework assignments" to work for the following week. It was a fun little exercise.
