This here illustration is the fourth in a series based on the Jules Verne book, Master of the World. This scene is when a Toledo police agent discovered that a submersible, was using the entrance of a creek near Lake Erie to make necessary repairs. 

This was done under the guidance of creative director Giuseppe Castellano through The Illustration Dept.'s mentorship program. 

More to come!

Morganton Alarmed!

 

I have a lot to catch up on in regards to work done these past few months. Some I can't show as of yet, but some I can, so here is the 3rd drawing in a series of work being done in the mentorship program with Giuseppe Castellano through The Illustration Dept. These scenes are my adaptations of the Jules Verne book Master of the World. There's more to come from this series, as well as another that we are working on involving moments in history.

I'm somewhat behind on posting the work that I have been doing amidst my 6 month mentorship program with Giuseppe Castellano, as I have been gratefully busy as of late. This is the second drawing done involving scenes from the Jules Verne book, Master of the World. It has been challenging to not only compose these scenes, but to design the characters, the vehicle, the settings, etc. Guiseppe is one hell of an art director and his insights have been a boon for me. If you are not familiar with Guiseppe and the Illustration Dept., one would do well to check out the forum, the classes, the bookshop and the podcast.

Here is the finished drawing that was shown last week through my mentorship program with Giuseppe Castellano from The Illustration Dept.

This is a wordless kind of graphic novel type approach to illustrating a book, in this case, I chose Master of the World by Jules Verne.

Ardan's Gargoyle

Sometimes I do really weird stuff. This is one of them. A few months ago I was reading Circling The Moon by Jules Verne and was inspired to do this drawing from the passage on the drawing. I wanted to take a black and white lifework approach that might have been appropriate for an illustration of that time. And for today, too. I plan on doing a series of deep sea diver drawings of this ilk, so look out! Click on the drawing to bigify.
