Working on illustrating a book, here are a few sample illustrations!

WEBCOMIC Returning in July 2014

Watercolor sketch

A little watercolor sketch to get my skills up before I dive deep into illustrating this book.

New Children's Book.

I've commited myself to doing some Children's Books this year. The First one was a simple counting book that is in the proofing stage and when it's ready I'll be guerilla marketing it hoping it does well. I'm not waiting though, I've got a few books that I collaborated with my son on that I need to get done. I'm not looking ot finish them for career purposes although that would be a fringe benefit, I want my son to learn to finish what you start and give him motivation to continue to be creative. This is an image from one of the pages. I'll post a few here and there, but don't want to completely reveal the whole thing.

Princess Peach? Nope Princess Peaches.

 Instead of having royal linneage, Princess Peaches is a beauty pageant winner but that doesn't make her any less desireable. The Martin Bros have known Peaches since she was a girl and have always had a crush on her. No one, and I mean no one is gonna mess with their precious Princess Peaches the southern belle.

Teaser Image

 What happens when Marcus, LeVon and Princess Peaches all get together. You'll find out soon enough.

What if Luigi of the Mario Brothers was really a brotha too?

You betta believe if there is a Marcus of the Martin Bros, There got to be a counterpart... LeVon, the much more get down to business brother. These two guys get it rippin and laid down. Hahaha. That is a carpentry joke, I suppose. Hahaha.

Timelapse if you are interested in the process as well.

What if Mario of the Mario Brothers was really a brotha?

A Fun little series I'm doing. Instead of the brothers being plumbers they are carpenters. Also they are brothas as well as brothers. Soo much fun!

Mario Brothers with a little soul.

Imagine for a second:
Before the Mario Brothers was a couple of Brothas, The Martin Brothers. Marcus and LeVon Martin are a couple of carpenters who tear up a floor in a vintage home in Los Angeles only to be transported to a fantasy world where they must save Princess Peaches so they can return home. Hahaha. I love the Mario Brothers series and thought why not do a little twist on the concept.

Girl, You on Fire!

Diva extraordinaire going through the photoshop machine she got the full color makeup. Keeping the palette a bit more subtle and not quite over the top kid like. Hoping to have a greater appeal. She is confident and aware that she is on fire. Not the neck rolling type, more elegant and aware of who she is.

Jessie naaa Ja'Shae - Toy Story Redux

Continuing with my new toy story. Ja'Shae is Jesse. Sweet and Spice and everything nice. Girl got style for sure. I couldn't leave my boy Wood without his girl right...

It's the minions!
