The Walking Dead: Michonne

"The Walking Dead" midseason premiere is only two weeks away! To help pass the long wait, here’s a new piece in my series featuring Danai Gurira as Michonne! 

Polka Dots

Another new piece in the "Good Girls" series! These have been a great way to mess with style and technique and I'm looking forward to applying some of that moving forward. More soon! -B

Shopping

Playing around with something different this week. I've been really wanting to explore style a bit more, so this was a good opportunity to try out some stuff. More soon..

The Soldier

Finally finished the last piece in my first series of Egyptian prints. This set was a pretty fun exercise working with a variety of shapes and colors. I'm looking forward to working with these characters a bit more in the future, but I think I'll go a bit moodier with my next series.. more soon! -B

The Princess

Continuing the series, next up is The Princess with her animal friends. Just hoping that cat doesn't get any ideas ;).... more on the way! 

It's a Mummy!

Another illustration loosely inspired by Ancient Egypt lore.. It's a mummy!.. wearing what looks like a bellhop's hat! 

Green Smoke Equals Magic!

Felt like painting something vaguely Egyptian with swirly magic and fire, thus ended up here. I feel she's kinda lonely though, perhaps a mummy or two should join the roster.... more to come! -B

Man of Steel: Jor-El

One of the parts that I'm really looking forward too in the new "Man of Steel" movie is seeing some of the more minor characters get flushed out a bit more. One of them is Superman's father Jor-El whose going to be portrayed by Russel Crowe. So of course next up in my "Man of Steel" series is my take on the man who started it all! Thanks! -B

Man of Steel: Faora

Continuing with my "Man of Steel" series this painting features the villainous Faora in her Kryptonian armor! More to come soon, thanks for stopping by! 

The Dark Knight: Nurse Joker

Based on my favorite sequence from “The Dark Knight”: Nurse Joker ;)

Jungle Girl and Big Cat take no prisoners!

It's been a while since I've done some stuff just for fun, so I figured what the heck, why not start with a pinup ;). Trying some new stuff on this one, more to come! 

Union Square

This holiday illustration features my brother and his girlfriend at Macy's Holiday Ice Skating Rink in downtown SF. 

The Gang's All Here

Another Christmas illustration, this time featuring my girlfriend's family! 

The Dark Knight Rises: Batman

Inspired by Christian Bale's performance, here is my take on "The Dark Knight Detective"!

The Dark Knight Rises: Catwoman

Continuing with my "Dark Knight Rises" print series, here is one based on Anne Hathaway's awesome portrayal of Selina Kyle aka Catwoman!

The Dark Knight Rises : Bane

Continuing with my character tributes, here's one based on Tom Hardy's amazing performance as the nefarious Bane in "The Dark Knight Rises." 

The Amazing Spider-Man

After a little hiatus, back today with a piece inspired by the new movie "The Amazing Spider-Man." If you haven't seen it yet, get to the theater and check it out, it really is "amazing"! More to come very soon, thanks for stopping by! :)

The Walking Dead: A TV Tribute

Back again tonight with a few new character paintings, this time based on another one of my favorite shows, AMC's The Walking Dead based on the graphic novel by Robert Kirkman! These two were a lot of fun, especially the part of delving into a different timeline and some more intense subject matter. Both Shane and the Mud Walker play crucial roles in the new season, so I thought it would be fun to start with those. More to come soon! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Deputy Halloran

So here is the last painting in my first series of Boardwalk Empire characters, Deputy Halloran! These studies have been a blast and I definitely plan on doing some more, but for now, I'll cap it with this one, while I explore some other sources of inspiration! Thanks for looking! -B

Gillian Darmody

My "Boardwalk Empire" series continues tonight with my take on Jimmy's creepy mom, Gillian Darmody
