Grimoire Boy in colour

Here is the completed image in colour. It is sort of a tribute to H.P. Lovecraft with a steampunk twist.

I plan to make copies and sell them as a limited numbered edition



Here is a closeup of the boy just so you can see how much work went into the illustration. It is my most complicated yet. I am learning lots of shortcuts, but it still takes some time to complete.

Steampunk Surfer

Another coffee shop brainchild from my Lady, on the Hawaii theme still. My steampunk surfer. When finished it will be captioned " I say, Kowabunga dude." A British gentleman on a steam powered surfboard. Britannia rules the sea.

Steampowered Flyer

Here's another sketch from my sketchbook. A small flying steampowered balloon.
A small fighter-craft with a female pilot. Dedicated to my Lady, this is the Sparkie Flyer.

Grimoire Boy

The original sketch was done in April, 2011 and previously posted online as a scan from my sketchbook. The original drawing was about 2 by 3 inches in size. It was scanned and cleaned up inside the computer using illustrator 8 and the mouse. Eventually it will be in colour. It is sort of a tribute to H.P. Lovecraft with a steampunk twist.

I plan to make copies and sell them as a limited numbered edition, in a larger size with print on the front stating: "Children should not be allowed to take the grimoire out of the library."

Steampunk Ladies in Colour

Well the Steampunk Lady is finally done. She will be available soon. The first place she will be available is at the Pearl Co. in Hamilton, ON. I hope you like it.
I am also working on the boy with the grimoire, the rough was posted earlier. I hope to have the cleaned up B&W image posted tomorrow.

Steampunk Lady Robot Rough

People have been asking me for a steampunk lady for a long time. Here is the final rough, its going to be done the same way as the steampunk gentleman so they will be a set. Hope to have it completed soon. Haven't decided on the final colours yet. Will have to see what develops.

At the Pearl Co.

A small display of some of my work at the Pearl Co. 16 Stephen Street, Hamilton, On. The Pearl Co. is a multiuse space for performance of music and plays and an art gallery.

Steampunk Tiki Final

This is the final computer image of the Steampunk Tiki figure. I did it all in the same tone because I am thinking it might make a good t-shirt. Hope it brings a smile to your face.

Steampunk Tiki

While we were sitting in the coffee shop and flipping through my sketchbook, Connie saw some of my stone heads and asked "When are you going to do a Steampunk Tiki?"
So the idea stuck and this was the rough I drew after I quit laughing.

Steampunk air corps.

This is a finished illustration, could be used for t-shirt design or the usual prints.

The Royal Steam Corps. Rules The Skies!

Steampunk airship

This is the template of an airship that I did in the illustrator program based on a one of my drawings from the 1980's. Eyeball perspective in the computer using illustrator. Going to use for painting and other images I am working on. You will see one in the next post.

Rough Gent. with 2 eyes

This robot model has 2 eyes, to be more human like in appearance. Progress moves on at the Swerling Robot Factory. Female companions will soon be available.

Another Gentleman

Another Gentleman in the series. this one is without the words, but is also available with the words, like the previous gentlemen in the series. More to come.

Airships

Did some old airships back in '81, decided to update them and turn them into steampunk paintings.

Steam powered airships will rule the sky!

Steampunk Gentleman Final

First in a series, It will be available at the Pearl Co. and at the Supercrawl. More in the series to come but this is the first completed image. One will be available with type to look like an old advertisement and the other will be the plain image inside the frame. The robot image was watercolour/mixed media and scanned into the computer and the frame is computer generated.

Steampunk robot in colour

This is the first one in a series. Tried a little mixed media and watercolour. I think it worked out pretty good. What do you think? It will be available soon. I will be putting a border around the picture and some words making it look like a period advertisement.

Another Steampunk Robot

Another rough for a steampunk robot series. Still deciding which medium to use. Enjoy.
Hope to have them done soon.

Steampunk Gentleman

A new rough for a potential painting or computer piece. Still trying to decide what medium I want to do him in. I may even do both. I am planning on doing a series. I have sketches for another three robots and more to come.

Hamilton Art Market

I will be here every Saturday this summer. Come down and see the variety at the Ferguson Train Station here in Hamilton. Different artists each week.

Steampunk pins

This is my take on steampunk. More images to come. I have designed twelve separate images to be worn as pins. I will be selling these at the Hamilton Art Market formerly Sabawoon on Saturdays at Ferguson and King in Hamilton starting June 25, 11:00 to 4:00 until the end of August. Come on down, I will be there with lots of other artists and craftspersons.
