A few years ago, I did several pieces of artwork for the kids area of Living Stones Church in Crown Point, Indiana. As I was looking through my files today, I ran across some work I did for the entrance to their children’s section. This illustration was for an irregular shaped wall with a big doorway in the middle (the picture has a huge void in the center of it) so I clipped out a few of the perimeter areas to show here.
Here’s some of the concept work I did on the Cryptozoic “Pattinson” Batmobile collectable. When I was a kid, muscle cars were really popular. My older brother had a bunch of Hot Rod CARtoons Magazines (basically Mad Magazine for car enthusiasts) and when he wasn’t around I would sneak those magazines out and draw those “Rat Fink” hot rods on my Big Chief Tablet. That experience sure comes in handy on jobs like this… I’m talking about the drawing part… not the sneaking around part…
This was a fun project to work on. I got to see top secret photo’s of “THE BATMAN” (2022) movie car before the film released and then worked with Cryptozoic Entertainment to designed their new “Pattinson Batmobile” collectable… and it has finally made it to pre-order!! You can take a look at it here.
Stephan Ehl did the sensational 3-d sculpt. Stephan and I worked together previously on the Cryptozoic ’66 Batmoble collectable. He is one amazingly talented guy.
So here’s something I think is going to be totally awesome. Rick Cantu is using a picture I did back in 2014 and turning it into a 3-D lighted sculpture. I love it. Ha! The brass tube front legs will be where he runs the wiring to light the head up and the feet, arms and miscellaneous other doodads with be mounted later. I can hardly wait to see this finished pumpkin light!
Hidden in pine trees behind the outer banks of North Carolina, you’ll find a fabulous little place called Camp Cale. For years there, stories have been told around the campfire of the epic wilderness adventures that Old Joe and his pet squirrel Goldie have had. This year for the first time, campers are actually going to get to see what Old Joe and Goldie look like!
