A friend of mine drew this puppy in my sketchbook. Abhorred by all the empty space around it I decided to fill it in.
Working with the author and illustrating for his book Collegium Sorcerorum has been both an amazing opportunity and a wonderful experience. I have learned so much about my self, my art/methods, publishing, working with others, and more. I have finished the last two images the author has commissioned and since I don’t legal own the rights I am sending you to this link where you may find them: http://collegiumsorcerorum.wordpress.com/illustrations/
The most recently complete are the second to last and third to last drawings. Enjoy and let you mind run wild!
Ernest Concepcion is a BBC artist, that is an artist whose work is Badass, Brutal, and Creative. His drawings are filled with so much content that one can get lost in them even from a computer screen. I would absolutely love to see his work live to truly appreciate his taste for detail.
Here is part of his artist statement pertaining to his Line Wars Series (images below):
From tables vs. chairs to cowboys vs. aliens and cookies vs. milk, The Line Wars began as a series of over 100, 9×12 inches, ink drawings that emerged from sketches and doodles–the most rudimentary expression of visual thinking. The images are based on the entertainments of childhood and adolescence: Video games, action figures, strategy board games–always two forces opposing one another. The Line Wars is a celebration of making impulsive, nonchalant drawings, as well as a personal journey into nostalgia and an homage to geekdom.
Here are some other artworks of Ernest’s:
Additionally, here is a link with some images of one of Ernest’s most recent collaborations.
