bye-bye bump

[GunTrouver]

Thank a lot for visiting my SB, I'm very happy about ur comment
I like the new one, there's always a kind of humor in your pictures, I love that.
A bit ironic and sarcastic... hard to describe but I hope you know what I mean

PS: I finished the Punk Monkey

[Wetterschneider]

Salaryman, stunning work. The oodles of doodles are astounding... but let me beg you, please post more of the raw sketchwork. I love both, the clean and the frothy.

[daarken]

i think you are my new hero. i always admire people with really confident line work. my lines suck.

[Kresh]

neato stuff. What medium is that Umberto Eco looking piece?

[Johann de Venecia]

You rock, Mr. Salaryman, always and forever!

Your eternal fan with cherry on top,

Johann

[salaryman]

okay, decided die, robot! was a far better (and d'uh, obvious) title for this series. Probably do a few more from time to time. This was inked in about 20 mins and shows, it's a complete dog... and a weak idea....

edit: This image really bugged me. I binned the sketch and inks and now the digital form, I suggest you all clear your temp files.

REMOVED

I feel bad about deleting stuff, so here's another oldie for that failed Disney project:

lukavi: great to see you here!

Kresh: it's all digital bar the linework. It's a finish I want to play around with more...here's another old sketch shaded at lunch:

daarken: cheers, thanks, I think it's lost it a bit of late...

Wetterschneider: no, I couldn't be so cruel to the eyes...


GunTrouver: yeah, I try to be serious, street and cool, but I end up just being silly.

squidmonk3j: thanks man, one day...

I.was.ink: too late!

krakel: wow, thanks, that means a lot! Props and guns yeah, and a few vehicles, but not my strong point... here are some enviros from over a year ago! Another failed project which I can't discuss suffice to say it was crazy!

Dutton: cheers, yep, it's where I want to head.

BillyDead: nice name. I need to draw that name...

bwkeough: me too (I need more time!)

dogfood, hey man! I need to know that brand on your avatar for a die,robot! idea. You know the blue striped label thing...

Inkfish: yeah, I really enjoyed it, I don't think my image captures the humour of the character though...

m@: cheers chap

shinryu: thanks, more to come (one day!)

Fellah, always a pleasure to see you here!

I'm thinking of reproducing my sketchbook in print form, maybe with a commentary, we'll see.

Essentially I gotta earn for 4 from now on, so I'm going to have to supplement the day job. Any art directors interested let me know...

Thanks for all the kind words regarding my work and my daughters. Catch you all soon...

Cal

[Helzon]

Oh for the love of all that is right and just in this world! I would love to achieve in my lifetime the level you call weak bro. :sheesh:
Every update is like goddamned Christmas!
Cheers

[asoir]

Daaamn those are some fine lines! Great stuff!

[character]

sweet update. i'm digging the taxi station thumbs. no crits here except post moar cowbell! er, updates =D

[Bomba]

I loves da salaryman work.

[Artguy]

O.k. I have to know. Do you choose to use a single line weight as part of your style? Have you ever felt the urge to use different line weights to emphasise parts of a piece?

I love your stuff. I've tried your sort of uniform line style, but my brain always wants me to go back to using different weight lines.

[tensai]

here i was thinking you were going to take it easy on the posting! glad im wrong. nice to see some environment concepts by you, but love that little black&white shaded guy you put up there...

later man

[flex mathews]

amazing work as usual. very cool variety with the taxi drawings.

[bwkeough]

well, if I can't see more toned drawings, can I some more environments? I really like this set, great drawings and I dig the shared color palette.

[Pierre]

I remember going through your sketchbook some time ago and am now happy to have found it again. I really like your drawings! Its fun to look at them! - Pierre

[eager]

wow, not sure where to start. Keep up the good work, I especially enjoyed the paintings: nice to see those more developed forms.

[Mort]

holy axes batman! wow this is pure greatness . this is how it should be done.
the style and the design is pure eye candy. this is incredible insperation. cant understand how i missed this thread.

[Ramzeal]

KhenU, you're a STAR!. Thanks for the support, means a great deal.

tensai, bwkeough,Carnifex, yeah 3D. I can't blame anyone for that as I created them, maybe more time and polygons would have helped, maybe not. The faces are not rigged, so a blank 'bind' expression is all they have. One day I hope to catch the energy of my 2D in my 3D. One day I hope to never have to do 3D.

And as for the final incarnation vs the first. Oh man, many tears shed over that, the art director and I very nearly came to blows.... anyway, good to know I wasn't the only one who preferred that version, thanks bwkeough.

GunTrouver, thanks, always great to see you here.

and the rest of you, thanks again, I'm humbled.

I've had some very grown up stuff to deal with recently, so sorry for the lack of updates. I'll let you in on it soon, but thanks for the support while I've been AWOL.

mini update: a couple of Hoods:

and an absolute shameless plug:goddamn sell out. One day I hope to have reprints of my sketchbook up there, but until then...

Updates soon.

Cheers.

THis serie of drawing are just great, the idea behind are relly clever.

cheers

[T-Raktor]

Really nice work, i love your style. I love those gangstas on the first page. The shadows and everything are great in there. Keep it up, and i am looking forward to see your next drawing.
PS: i llove the way u did those buildings, very realistic.

[GunTrouver]

Hey, I thought you make a break But no, updates, updates updates
Great new stuff, I'm corious you inked the first guy in 20 minutes, amazing!
The Taxi offices are great, I love them, the colors you chose are very nice.
I can just repeat: Great Great Great
The technique you used for the little black shadded picture is very intersting, looks very cool. Which kind of brush do you use?
Looking forward for your surprises, keep it up!

PS: Don 't try to be too serious, it's perfect how it is

[BillyDead]

Hey Salaryman - Congrats on the kids! I'm sure you'll make a great father. And Thanks on the name. I would be honored/flattered if you drew something cool using it! Also, I'm interested in any stuff you have coming out - let me know, and I'll go out and buy. Keep up the awesomeness - Take care

[le capitan]

......

[cateaic]

Hell ya! you should make a sketchbook to sell or something!! I would definately buy one.

[Dirty C]

yes, what cateaic said. i'd totally shell out. talk to a publisher, pleeeease.

[Amidamarox]

So when did you start getting good at this stuff, like what age?

[codakromek]

haiku.


Deff not a sellout,
I'd shell out, too
for an artbook or a graphic novel.


btw ru nyorker?

[GeniusBill]

Genius Work!

[lloorrdd]

Ohaaaaa!

[newman]

prettyprettypretty...
