Thanks again to everybody who showed up opening night, as well as commentators here. (*high fives in succession*)

~ "Jab, Strong, Fierce..." - at Gallery Nucleus: Opens *Today* ~

That's right folks, swing on by on Saturday at around 7pm if you get the chance. Should prove to be a cool show. Artwork will be up til May 11th I think - so for all you late comers, stuff should still be there for you to relive your past Street Fighter nostalgias and glories.

Eric Caoili over at gamesetwatch.com went above and beyond the call and posted a really kind article on the upcoming show here. Many thanks, Eric. (*salutes*)

Several other blogs and sites have mentioned the show as well, including offworld.com, Nerd City, Arrested Motion... many others for sure. Danke and thanks to all who've put the word out and been supportive - not to mention folks who've commented here. You all make doing the art/drawing thing worthwhile for me, for sure.

So I should probably post some newer artwork while advertising my wares. Fair enough. A little preview on a sequence I finished up not too long ago:


And (again) a little color something on the WWII sequence I flashed here a few weeks back:

...Of sketches, that is. Can't go wrong with pseudo mech designs...

...Or lady sketches. Some studies of Elena from Street Fighter, for an upcoming show at Gallery Nucleus.

...And a small preview for a short WWII sequence I worked on a little while ago:
