The lead story from Aegeon 5, ‘Crashland!’ tells of an astronaut crash-landing on an alien planet, and encountering some very weird plant life and environmental hazards.
Once again I’ve saved the in-progress images, allowing me to create a slide show.
Aegeon 5 is out, featuring five illustrations by yours truly. The one above, called “Darkness,” is probably my least favourite of the bunch, but still came out pretty well. I’ll be posting the other ones in the following days.
My fourth and final illustration for the Christmas special issue of Aegeon. It shows Nicola Tesla and and Mr. Achujam Ganbaatar, a Mongolian wizard, engaged in a duel by electricity. I’ve drawn it in about 14 hours for the short story “The Tesla Gambit” by Brendan Heard. Should you be interested in procuring a print, you can do so in the usual place.
My third and possibly the weirdest illustration for Aegeon Issue 4. This one is for the short story The Ghost Hunter’s Gun by Jason Lupus and Brendan Heard. As usual, prints and other merch are available in the shop.
Ferrand PI is a dystopian, near future series written by Brendan Heard. In the latest installment, while pursuing a suspect, Ferrand suddenly finds himself in the wrong part of town—the Stupid Block. Don’t make the same mistake, visit my shop instead.
Ramek the Machine Slayer first appeared in Aegeon #1, in the short story “Ramek, Machine-Slayer” by Buffalo Jenkins. Since then he’s become a mainstay of the publication, answering fan mail and offering short commentaries on each of the stories.
I’ve decided on a whim to create a fan illustration of Ramek, resting after a successful hunt. The publisher of Aegeon was kind enough to feature it in the fourth issue. As usual, Ramek was drawn in ProCreate on my iPad Pro M1. This time I’ve saved several versions of the drawing in progress, allowing me to show you this slideshow:
Ramek thinks you should check out my merch.
This is probably my best work so far, if I do say so myself. Drawn in ProCreate on an iPad Pro M1 in about 40 hours. It shows a real café in the historic city center of Verona called Giornale & Caffè. In front of it, there’s our family (seated) and our two friends who run the place. This work was printed in a limited run of three A2-sized prints on 300gsm Hahnemüle rag paper.
We found this flat, almost perfectly rectangular pebble while on a walk under ponte di Castelvecchio in Verona. I decided to draw the very same bridge onto it in brush pen (Kuretake Bimoji) and white gouache.
