This sketch was completed while trying a new illustration technique. I used a Wacom tablet & Flash's pressure sensitive brush tool. Just playing around & trying to shake the rust off!

Happy may. This is a good time for cyclists out there. No more cold weather gear. No more indoor trainer. And a new magazine to enjoy!

My friend Jeff just co-started a new mag and online mag:

Dirt Rag illustration - connected

This is obviously about those of us who can't help but over-accessorize. The ipod, helmet cam, gps, satellite link, palm pilot and more.

Go old skool. Bike. Dirt. Sweat. That's one reason so many of us are going with single speeds.

Keep it simple stupid!

This is an illustration of Lance Armstrong vs. Floyd Landis that was just used in Dirt Rag. The hardest thing about this illustration was making the faces recognizable. Also, I found myself wavering as to who's side I was on.

Red Koi

Done for Illustration Friday. I love tattoo art - especially the koi. Tattoo lore suggests that the koi is good luck, and especially in combination with flowing water symbolizes courage, the ability to attain high goals, and overcoming life's difficulties.

If you want to read more there is a great site that has information on all kinds of different tattoo designs: www.tattoosymbol.com
