recent months has seen my workload explode somewhat. hence why my online endeavours butternutsquash and kukuburi have gone on brief hiatuses. though the latter is back, butternut will return on september 25th.

the two main projects that kept me chained to the drafting table throughout the month of august were STAR WARS: CLONE WARS for Dark Horse Comics and NYX for Marvel Comics.

for the star wars project i pencilled issue 2 of a new series tied to the movie currently in theatres. the issue i believe is slated to come out in october. nyx sees me coming on board with issue 2 as inker on through issue 6. my first issue just hit the stands earlier this week so i feel it okay to share some pages from it. i’ve included kalman andrasofszky’s pencils beside my inks to show a little bit of the process. on an interesting aside this is the first time i’ve inked anyone aside from myself.

cheers.

last month andy belanger and myself had an art show at local annex lounge insomnia. while andy’s show as taken down due to the monthly turn around of art shows, mine is staying up an extra month due to a cancelation.

the show, titled “andy and ramón take the call“, centres around the theme of phones.

this first piece, PHONESCAPE was a collaborative freeform effort between andy and myself and measures 40″x60″ and it glitters. listed at $600:

the next TOUCH TONE is a concept piece by myself. each wood canvas measures 10″x10″, for a combined area of 40″x55″ taking into account spacing. all the typography is hand painted, no stencils were used. due to the space chains were  used for hanging, though each piece has a individual sawtooth hangers for a clean personal installation.  listed price is $800. 

the last piece is a diptych with a nod to hello kitty, with a slightly disturbing bent. it is a mixed media piece of layered gesso, acrylic and ink on a 20″x40″ canvas. listed price is $600.

detail:

if you’re in toronto swing by insomnia, enjoy some peculiar art and a fine meal.

and if you’re interested in any of the piece feel free to drop me a line…

cheers.

for those of you who are in or near the montréal area i will be appearing at the montréal comicon this weekend. i’ll only have original art on hand (from my dc comics work) but i will also be doing sketch requests. please swing on by and say hello!
