Holy Car Collectable, Batman!
Cryptozoic is currently headed into production with the 1966 classic TV Series Batmobile. Stephan Ehl did a truly amazing job with the sculpt for this. Here’s the box cover and packaging. Rumor has it we might be working on something else fun in the very near future!
1966 Batmobile Collectable Statue
This was a fun project I worked on a few months ago. The good folks at Cryptozoic saw a picture I did of my very first car (a 1970 Opel Kadette) and asked me to do the same sort of thing with the old 1966 Batmobile from… Continue Reading “1966 Batmobile Collectable Statue”
Making A Guest Appearance
Quarto Publishing just released a new drawing book by Carlos Gomes Cabral and I was asked to make a “guest artist” appearance in it… and this is it.
More SDC Concept Work
It seems people really enjoyed seeing my rather… uhm… humble… beginnings as an artist… so I will go ahead and show you the other sketch I did last weekend.
Silver Dollar City Coloring Books
My very first professional jobs were for Silver Dollar City, a theme park in the Missouri Ozarks. I did three different park maps, coloring books, activity books and miscellaneous other illustrations for various products. For some reason, this weekend I was thinking about those old SDC coloring books. It… Continue Reading “Silver Dollar City Coloring Books”
2nd Annual Walk Into My Future Day
I woke up on Wednesday… deja vu… and found myself once again standing in front of small groups of children showing them how they, too… can draw goofy pictures… just like me. It was the second annual Walk Into My Future Day at Huntington University. Here are a few… Continue Reading “2nd Annual Walk Into My Future Day”
An Unsolicited Guitar Pick Tip
I suspect there are very few people in the world who look to me for guitar tips, but here’s something I came up with the other day that is sort of art related. Because of my drawing process, I blow through a lot of kneaded erasers in a year.… Continue Reading “An Unsolicited Guitar Pick Tip”
1970 Opel Kadett
My very first car was a pale yellow, 1970 Opel Kadett… basically a tin can with custom installed Cherry Bomb mufflers. It’s best feature was a gigantic, state of the art, AM-FM/8 Track/Cassette stereo that cranked out more horsepower than the poor little 4-cylinder engine ever did. Sadly,… Continue Reading “1970 Opel Kadett”
Antiquated Artist Clip Files
Gather ’round kids and I’ll tell you a story of how old timers used to make pictures back in the olden days. As an illustrator, you have to be ready and able to draw anything a client might ask for, so photo reference is a must.… Continue Reading “Antiquated Artist Clip Files”

The quest to get my older sketchbooks online continues… The 2012 Dennis Jones SketchBook is now available Here On Amazon.
$1.99? …that’s almost FREE!!
Over the past several years, I have been exploring options on how best to provide digital content. There are so many different digital readers on the market today and they each require their files to be built in different formats with miles of rules and regulations attached to each… Continue Reading “$1.99? …that’s almost FREE!!”
Snow Fence Down
The air hurts my face… why do I live in a place where the air hurts my face? We Northern Indiana Hoosiers are all really looking forward to Thursday when our high temperature is supposed to reach 3… yea. Last Saturday I hopped into my car… Continue Reading “Snow Fence Down”
Snow Fence
Rarely (if ever) does something live up to expectation… but the snow fence kinda did. Our driveway runs perpendicular to the winter winds and snow drifts over it every night, but the snow fence is magically making the snow drift next to it instead and leaving… Continue Reading “Snow Fence”
Winter Is Coming
What’s new for Hoosier Winter 2015, you ask? …SNOW FENCE!! Of course, I know absolutely nothing about snow fence or how it’s supposed to work, but that didn’t stop me from buying about a mile of it back in November. I quickly put it up and within… Continue Reading “Winter Is Coming”
