Super Button Mashers

Here's a piece I created based on the NES game Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! It's currently featured in the Super Button Mashers art show at the OhNo!Doom arcade and gallery in Chicago.

I entered the Threadless contest for pin-up themed T-shirts with this design, which I call "Sexy Vampire Party." It's up for voting over the next seven days during which I am encouraged to promote it heavily, so please check it out and vote!

I drew this a week or so ago when I had a rare free day; I wanted to update the image I use on my Facebook artist page.

Space Ghost

My third & final piece for the Adult Swim show that opens tonight at Gallery 1988!

Sebben & Sebben 2012 Calender

www.albinoraven.com

One of my pieces for the Adult Swim show that opens at this month at Gallery 1988 in LA. I am extremely excited to be a part of this show; it's a dream come true to be involved in something officially sponsored by Adult Swim.

I actually did this Birdgirl pin-up years ago and it immediately came to my mind when I was thinking of pieces I could do. (Birdgirl is from the amazing show Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law) When I went back and looked at it, though, it was really obvious that my style had grown and improved quite a bit since I had done that piece. In other words, I felt like it looked too bad to submit. So I reworked it quite a bit and, hopefully, improved it with this new version. I also came up with the calender idea which I thought would be really cool since I could add some other characters in the form of doodles that Harvey had added.

Ye Olde Mario World

My newest T-shirt design which you can vote on here. It's an old-timey version of the world map from Super Mario World. It was a lot of work but a lot of fun; I really get into stuff with somewhat tedious detail work like this from time to time.

Working on this also took me back to when I was a kid and I really enjoyed going through all the extra materials that came with video games like the boxes and manuals. I used to sit and draw out maps like this for individual levels which I thought was just as much fun as actually playing the game.

I'm thinking this would make a good poster too. Please click on the image to get a much larger and detailed view.

Keyboard Girl

Here's a commission I finished not too long ago for a music production studio. They wanted an original pin-up that involved a vintage keyboard synthesizer; beyond that I was given free reign. Luckily I enjoy drawing pin-ups and love the design of vintage electronics (a weird interest, I know, but us designers can find visual interest just about anywhere.)

I'm really happy with the finished result. I did some research on keyboard synthesizers and tried to stay authentic while still playing around with it here and there to give it a fun design.

Robotnik

Here's my piece for the Sonic Generations art show which opens at Brave New Worlds in Philadelphia next month.

A little Dr. Robotnik trivia, his design was based on Theodore Roosevelt.

Here's the website for the show where you can check out all the other art!

This is my piece for Gallery 1988's Please Post Bills art show. In total there are twelve references to twelve separate films, can you identify them all?

Hallows Eve

My main piece for this year's Artmares show

Wendigo

I've been working on my pieces for this years Artmares show and I really wanted to draw some sort of mythological creature that hasn't been done to death. I already drew the mothman once before, so that was pretty much out. I settled on the wendigo, a creature you'll supposedly turn into if you engage in acts of cannibalism. I drew a lot of inspiration from Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. comics' version of the creature, as well as some images I found online. Apparently there was a low budget horror movie made about a wendigo, and in that it had the giant head of a deer. I have no idea if that has any roots whatsoever in the actual wendigo myth, but I really liked the antlers so I used them.

The Artmares reception will be from 6 to 10 pm on Friday, Octrober 28 at the Kanawha Players Theater, 309 Beauregard St, Charleston, WV.

Donald Duck

www.albinoraven.com

For whatever reason I've had the to idea to do a weird drawing of Donald Duck floating in my head for probably a year or two now. Something about the design of early animation characters is just so perfect; it makes you want to do your own take on them even though you know it will never be as good as the original.

Also, I recently got to spend a day at Walt Disney World and one of the gift shop items I found were these plush Mickey Mouse dolls that had really weird arbitrary coloring, and I loved them. I eventually found a Minnie, Goofy, and several color variations for Mickey, but no Donald. So I decided to carry the idea over to my drawing and give Donald his own funky palette.

It's Strange. It's Kooky. It's Even a bit Spooky.

STRANGE KIDS CLUB (www.strangekidsclub.com)

October is already well upon us and as the Fall chill begins to take hold, all of the ghouls are coming out to play... including one peculiarly blue-haired, hell-raising fiend: Strange Kid! That's right, Strange Kids Club is proud to announce the special Halloween Edition of its Strange Kid Comix Magazine which features work by some of our very own fellow Autumn Society members.

Sporting a spooktacular cover by monster maker extraordinaire David Hartman this issue continues SK’s tradition of "combining immature, gross out humor with a crazy love for pop culture parody" with brand new comics by creators Aaron Klopp, Brian Fyffe, Christine Larsen, Craig Collins, Keith Allen, Glen Brogan, German Orozco, Sean K. Dove, Keith Allen, Neil Camera, Smo, Beans and Bueller and Zach Bellissimo.

It even includes two, extra special cut-out Monster Masks by David Hartman and Keith Allen for spine-tingling Halloweenie fun (not to mention a few other treats). To get a sneak peek or grab yours today, check out the official Strange Kid Shop.

Dr. Sketchy's Adventure Time Tribute

I'm sure lots of you are aware of Dr. Sketchy, but I'll explain again for the newbies: Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art School is a hybrid figure drawing class and burlesque show, with emphasis on a fun, sexy, and social atmosphere. There are Dr Sketchy branches all over the US and in several countries, and the new branch in my hometown of Charleston, WV has been going strong.

Several months ago Chase Henderson, local artist and the guy in charge of our branch, brought up the idea of doing a session themed after the Cartoon Network show Adventure Time. I think it was mostly thrown out there as a silly "wouldn't this be funny?" sort of idea, but I thought it sounded great, so I encouraged him and offered to help.

Chase quickly set to work recruiting models, and it was officially decided that Charleston's September Dr. Sketchy would be an homage to Adventure Time. I know there are a lot of fans of the show on this blog, so I wanted to be sure and share the event with you guys.

I had a blast at the session and I'm sure everyone else did as well. The poses were clever and tied into the show/characters, costumes were accurate (well, I suppose they had to be creative with what the character's skivvies looked like,) props were cool (including a Beemo,) and everyone was excited to participate in the various contests.

Chase took all the photos you see here, showing off the hard work of the models: Molly Tilly as Finn and/or Fiona, Lavender Menace as Princess Bubblegum, and Lita Lane as Marceline.

Here are a couple of my drawings from the evening:

Apparently the main Dr Sketchy branch in NY loved this idea and we wouldn't be surprised to see a few more Adventure Time sessions start popping up across the country.
