Another sneak peek

Here is another sketch for an upcoming project that I'm hoping to fund via Kickstarter. I'll have more details coming this week.

Sneak Peek

Here is a sneak peek at a project I'm working on that is picking up speed very quick. I'm doing roughly 30-40 sketches and a couple of paintings. More info to come soon!

Sorry for the wait

Hey there,

If you're still patiently waiting for me to post art I apologize. I'm still awaiting approval to post art from my last few projects and I'm working on some new things that I'd like to keep under wraps for another month or two.
I have some big plans for the spring and I'll be announcing them shortly so stay tuned!

As a little filler, here are a couple late night drawings done in a hip little bar in the Uptown area of Chicago called Hopleaf.







Cheers,

Two shows this Saturday 10/29/11

I have two gallery shows coming up this Saturday evening. If you're in or near Chicago and can attend either one it would be great to see you there.

The first show of the evening kicks off at 6:30 PM at The First Annual Dark Art Exhibiton, Maleficium.

I will be at Maleficium from 6:30 until about 8:30. I will be showing two new pieces that I haven't posted online yet. The illustrations are from a children's story I'm currently writing. Click on the link above for more info.

The next show up is Things That Go Bump In The Night at Gallery Provocateur. This show goes from 8PM to 12Am.

I'll be at Gallery Provocateur from 9PM to until 11 or 12. Click the link above for more info.

This guy and several other illustrations will be on display (and for sale) at Gallery Provocateur.
Goblin Hammer 8x10 framed and signed.

Both galleries are encouraging people to come out in costume.

See you there!

Long overdue posting

Hey Gang,

If anyone is still checking in on this blog I apologize for the lack of posting. It's been a busy couple of months but I'm finally getting caught up. I can't post any of the professional stuff I've been working on but I should have some fun new projects to announce very soon. Most recently I've just wrapped some more work for New Holland Brewing and I can't wait until the product is on the shelves and I can show you what I've been up to.

This coming week my wife and I are heading to New York so she can do some modeling and I can visit various children's book publishers and the New York Comicon. I'll be dropping off samples the old fashion way and touring the city at the same time. Cross your fingers, I'm hoping to find my first publisher.

In just a couple of weeks I'll have some of my paintings in two galleries here in Chicago. Both of the galleries are having a Halloween theme and have asked me to participate.

I'm very excited about these shows. They're my first gallery shows ever and both of the galleries sought me out. The only downside to this great thing is that both shows are on the same night and the galleries about an hour apart. I will try to split my time evenly between them but I have a feeling by the end of the night my brain will be fried like an egg.

The first show of the evening will be at Kosar Effects Studio and Gallery starting at 6:30 in Westmont, IL (a Chicago suburb). I'll be there at the opening and hang around for an hour or two. I'll have two smaller paintings in this show.

Next up, I will have seven paintings hanging up at Gallery Provocateur on October 29th. The show starts at 8PM but I think I won't be there until about 9 or 9:30.

More info to come soon and I'll have plenty of art post in the weeks to come. For the time being, I give you a little sketch that turned into a painting of Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. I've been experimenting with this older style of illustration and drawing characters from Winnie the Pooh is a fun way to test the waters.



Cheers,
Kyle

Some sketches

I realized I hadn't posted anything here for a few weeks so here are a couple of sketches to hold you over. I'm working on designs for a new project, a couple of small commissions and I'm spending a lot of time researching publishers. I'm hoping to get some more art up here on the blog soon.








Cheers,
Kyle

Prelims

I just realized I haven't posted any of the preliminary work I did for the last project. These two pieces were style tests I did and sent off to New Holland to show them a couple of different methods I was playing around with. They (obviously) picked the top one.
