These panels won’t immediately be used, but I have a good idea where they fit in the future of my current project.
Definitely referencing Al Williamson’s Flash Gordon designs for these.

After looking at the cover for the upcoming #comicbook project, I decided to try really pushing the roping pose… And that’s the good stuff! Much more dynamic, and ready to ink after a few touch ups. #gaycomicbook #gaycowboys #gaygeek

I’m just not quite feeling the #comicbook cover for project I’m working on. Going to try pushing the roping pose a bit (I mean a lot).

Another piece up on the show wall at Melriches Coffee Shop, 1244 Davie St. Vancouver, BC
On a cowboy kick of late, in time for stampede season I guess. A throwback to my growing up in a cow town, but the west was never that thirsty back then.

4x6” watercolour and ink.
Continuing my dabbling in traditional media. Strangely I find watercolour closer to the way my brain understands colour than acrylic.
