Sketchbook

Breaking a bad habit

I illustrate about 8 to 12 hours a day. After awhile I feel as though I'm working in a void. I've come to the conclusion I need to sketch(digital) from reference at least 10-30 minutes a day. I'll put them on my sight to keep me on top of it. I'll upload them to scraps at the end of the week.

Between the sketchbook in my coat pocket and dry erase pen in the shower, I believe I can put in an extra 2 hours a day.

Hey Clayton... I first found out about you when I wandered into a comic book and saw "The Sensational Spiderman" issue #32.I got it because the cover was sweet! It's now hanging up in my cubicle here at work. (work at a video game company) It's the comic where Mary Jane is on Spiderman's back. I love your art style so much... it's so different from what you usually see in comic books. After I saw that cover I started collecting more of your work and even now... I found out you were doing X-Force! At first I was like, crap he's only going to do the cover, where you're actually doing all of the inside art as well! Which reinforced me to follow the issues! The story is pretty good but I think your badass art really made this comic awesome. Keep up the amazing stuff a lot of us at work really love your art.

Hey, it was great meeting you at the Toronto ComicCon! I'm that guy who asked you about the Ghost Rider movie, your favourite artists, and Evil Dead the musical! Come back to Toronto real soon, eh?

All the best, from your fan,

Marcus

I just caught up on the X-Force comics and you went from being unknown to me, to one of my favourite comic book artists! Your art is truly amazing and I hope you'll sample a few more of your pieces here too..waiting on new books takes too long haha

I just wanted to say the I have been a fan of yours since The Venom Vs. Carnage comic. You are a superb digital illustrator. The beauty and elegance you give each panal is simply amazing. Any suggestions for a future illustrator. Such as working with reference and getting your foot in the door? Thanks. Keep up the great work.

I just want to say I love your work (I first saw it on "Darkness", "No Honor", and "Universe" ... and I fell in love with it). You new painted work is awesome, but I do miss your drawing too ... keep up the great work.
