My Broker...?

... Michael Scwab. I mean Charles Scwab. Wait a second, I don't have any stocks that need brokering! I was asked to do some posters for a client in Michael Scwab's style. He seems to be a fairly popular commercial artist. At any rate, this one was for a Log Cutting Contest and the art director had a funny idea. He wanted a serious take on a funny theme. Irony is best served by Jason's oh so delicate hand ( or so I have read... ).

Also just added the Cow Chip Toss poster. I do a lot of serious work here at Urbanbarbarian Headquarters!

Getting Cheeky with it!

Man I love that guy's work! My good ( although sadly aged ) friend, Jeff Johnson and I were discussing the upcoming Spiderman animated series in development and we were put together a "Dream Team", if you will. My first thought was CHEEKS! Sean Galloway that is! This guy is awesome! He's got himself an incredibly fresh style and approach. I'd love to see more shows done with his aesthetic in mind. Of course, I'd love to see what Jeff would do as well! He's got a fantastic Superman animated drawing up on his blog at the moment. I would really enjoy seeing Jeff's vision for Spidey! He's been doing character design on the 2nd season of Boondocks along with some backgrounds! His transition from comic books to animation is seamless!

Anyway, I got so riled up about Sean - I had to bust out a Cheeks inspired turn around sheet! I tried to make it look as much like a model sheet as I could but - it's just a concept. Who knows what Sony will land up doing. I just did this for fun and because I dig the guy's work! Cheeks has some turn arounds on his site that are superbly done! He's a forerunner in a whole new generation of artistic expression in animation/illustration.

Enjoy, and don't forget about that AIDS Marathon I'm running! Have a great weekend!
