Dog-Matic’s Tropical Vacation
February 13th, 2012New Paintings
February 11th, 2012I’m exploring some new techniques and styles using the new Corel Painter 12. I think I might try something like this for the cover art of Dog-Matic & The Beagle’s first book.
New Paintings
February 6th, 2012I’ve made a stack of these on recycled paper grocery bags, all in different colors. My favorite are the monochrome white ones. There are more process photos on Flickr, if you’re interested in how it’s done.
These will be mounted on box canvases, about 9 x7 inches.
Do You know This Man?
January 26th, 2012Here’s my first ever attempt at a celebrity caricature – and rendered rather quickly, I might add. Do you know who it is?
New Flickr Set: Dog-Matic Sketches
November 28th, 2011
I’ve just created a new Flickr set called Dog-Matic Sketches and Scraps.
I frequently snap pics of what’s new in my sketchbook and sometimes I mashup old frames from the comic with new dialogue. If you have any interest in that sort of nonsense, have a look.
And of course, you can catch the regular strip here: Dog-Matic & The Beagle
Dog-Matic & The Beagle are Live!
November 23rd, 2011
Although it feels like it’s been years in the making, looking back, this has been a pretty quick process. Six months ago, this wasn’t even an idea. Five months ago there were a handful of scribbles in a Campari-stained sketchbook. Now there are two lovable dogs with a turnip patch and a lifetime of adventures ahead of them. And most importantly a website where you can check in on them. I’ll have a lot to say about the strip, the process, the artwork and the inspiration in the future. For now, just have a look yourself:
Here’s the official site: Dog-Matic & The Beagle
