It's princess peach. Get it? HAH




I posted these long ago, but they deserve to be next to peach. Samus designs I did for my buddy Grant Henry of "Metroid Metal". Heard his music? If you like Metroid, it's an absolute must. He does covers of the metroid tracks heavy metal like. (Hence Samus with a guitar) Can you dig it?








Hey kiddies, it's time for Art Director for a Day 2.0
¿Do you like my art style, but wish I'd paint something really specific to your tastes?
¿Do you wish that I'd paint what was in your head instead of what's in mine?
¿Do you see my doodles and think, "You idjit, why didn't you do it like THIS?"
The offer this time:
Email me or leave a comment on the blog with a noun and an adjective. For example: Radioactive Patnies, Expensive Wristwatch, Overweight Samurai - whatever, some thing you like. I'm going to pick 3 people's ideas and integrate them into an illustration of sorts - then I'm going to make prints of that image and send them out to you for free. Just like I did last time, i'll make a few extra to sell on the net.
Send an email to: genie (at) fourthwish (dot) com
Tell me "a thing" you'd like me to paint by leaving a noun and adjective in the comments field or in my email this weekend. As usual, if it's something super fcuked up, i'm going to have to pin the responsibility on you.
I'll pick the one that I think is the most interesting for me to work on
I'll accept emails entries until July 19th
The painting will be done as soon as I CAN, but I'm hopinh mid August
I'll post my in progress shots of the painting, so you can see how the process works.





Thing 2.
I've been away from my blog (this time) because I'm working on a new book. I'm working on it damn hard too. Every frickin day. Every single frickin day. And, you see, this is going to be the most work I've ever put into anything ever before - easily. I think it's about 5 years of practice and work. So if you like this blog but hate the internet, I'm going to have just the thing for you. Scout's honor.
In the meanwhile I'm working on the tron piece when I have free seconds.
To summarize the recent A.D. - looking good BUT perspective not so good. I'll put up a post soooooonish. Don't believe me? Neither do I. (^___^)
be seeing you,

Also, I now have postcards for sale. I don't know how to add a link to sell them but I'm thinking that for a stamp plus a buck or two, I'll draw on one and mail it to you. People seemed to like them at the show and I'm looking forward to mailing tons of them out.
Production issues:
Is poster size too much?

-Ok. I upsized the characters and slightly scaled down the enforcer. I do like his monolithic size, so I took the focus off him by dropping him down a couple notches in scale and also in value. I also gave him space on his sides so he's part of a wall instead of A wall.
-I also made the 'bit' drinking a beer. IDK what yet, likely I'll switch to martini, because that seems more high class and I imagine this particular bit to be of privelaged upbringing.
-Speederbike looked dinky to me and everything was evenly sized - fixed that.
-I WAS going off a picture of tronstyle Daft but went with the classic helmets. I'm a bit torn but I'll go with the shiney ones cause I like chrome lately.

-On adding another character, i'll see if I can fit her in without cramping it too much.
oh ya - and poster size? werd. Canvas size is now: 5400x7200
be seeing you,
&Rew.





Ok it's the 9th. 6 days left till the entries are closed and I have to pick one. How badass would it be to see tank girl square off against alice from superjail? thats what i would Want to see... an epic battle between the two in the middle of the australian outback with unsuspecting innocent people witnessing (and maybe involved in...) the awesomeness.
A pair of really tanned blonde chicks riding a unicorn (type thing) on a path made of rainbow through a glass tree forest.
A grimy monster coming up from a creepy ass pool of something gross. With only the eyes, and partial head/face visible.
Medusa resurrected sitting on a statue of Perseus (Freaked out face and hunched over cowering).
She's also using his shield as a platter for wine and food. Give her an eye patch for good measure.
I always wanted to a clockwork orange illustration but with a twist instead of the droogs, i'd have them be girls (droogettes if u will) cool sexy babes with an attitude doing some of the ultraviolence
With the new Alice in Wonderland movie opening soon, I think it would be very cool to see some of those characters in your unique style. And while there's a bunch of characters to choose from, I'm thinking of Alice & Cheshire Cat in particular.
I would like to see an epic-sized ninja vs pirate battle. Ninjas swinging onto a pirate ship from a wooded coast line- swords clanging, nun-chucks waving, hairy bearded pirates AAARG-ing...
A Cute Dentist - they're alway portrayed as bad/sinister
okay i think you should do a roller derby poster. two hot chicks in skates getting ready to go at it. You can throw in my local derby team - the soul city sirens vs. whoever, maybe the Forgotten Kingdom Friends.
A pinup girl for the gastank of a bike that's being built. I've decided to call her "Fat Yama" because of the Harley Fatboy wheels and Yama, cause it's a Yamaha. I have always liked the comic book style drawings along with pin up styles.
My thoughts was to incorporate these two styles into something for the tank.
- In the circle have a "fat pinup" asian girl.. not ugly, just voluptuous.. small waist, big butt, hips, etc..
- Have her sitting on Yama. The font will appear to be buckling under the girls weight
- Fat in the same font following the top half of the circle.
- Color ideas, seafoam green, off white, suggestions?
- Gold pinstripe outlines to make the tank pop
A toned down version of one of your chipotle menu girls. And the reason for toning it down would be because I don't really care for a full on painting, I want to get this tattooed on my left upper thigh and naked girls are usually looked down upon when getting a job. Along with the girl I would love for there to be other creatures (I'm partial to hippos and elephants)in the same style, which I would want to be up to you. The theme of my other tattoos are simple line drawings and would like to keep the lines of this simple and easy. The less shading the better and zero color. I'm a black and white kind of gal.
if u could do an illustration of all the female characters from Quentin Tarantino films some of which u've done before, it's a very geeky wish..but something i would definitely love...
And BTW - These are pictures of art pasted up and photographed by Eric Marachal in Naples I believe. Thanks eric, great choices as usual. You rock man. I'll get you some new material soon.
