Noamkin Comic Book: It's Super Fly!

Wow, right now I'm looking at a box full of Noamkin Comics. They turned out so AWESOME! I can not even express how proud, sad, happy and all the above I'm. This project took me a really long time and I stuck with it. I'm sad now because it's over. But that gives me hope that I will create another one if this is well recieved. The comic book is totally DIY, and in limited production!

The whole concept is very un-traditional for the comic book industry. I took pages upon pages of my illustrations, scanned them in, turned them to vector images then laid out the story board with all of the illustrated elements. This story line was written after the pages were put together. You could say that what unfolds in Noamkin’s adventures is improvised. I’m really proud of this whole project and hope that you will love it as much as I do!

Story Line: Noamkin the hero has his best friend Nun-Chuck Vegas. Nun-Chuck Vegas becomes victim to an evil plot by evil ninjas. It is up to Noamkin to save the day, kill ninjas, get his friend back by any means necessary and be the hero he was meant to be… or not. The story line is rich in ups and downs that will sway your emotional tide like the ocean’s currents.

Illustration of the Day: Wrestler!

Ok, so remember when you were a kid and hulk was the greatest? Or what about Andre the giant. Now that dude rocked the house. I have been in this wrestler mood lately so I drew a few of them. Here is an illustration that I full inked in and got it all pretty like. Enjoy!

Noamkin - Issue One


Noamkin - Issue One
DIY Handmade Comic Book: Limited Production!
PRE-ORDER NOW!

This is the first issue of my Noamkin comic book. I have been working on it for close to a year now. The whole concept is very un-traditional for the comic book industry. I took pages upon pages of my illustrations, scanned them in, turned them to vector images then laid out the story board with all of the illustrated elements. This story line was written after the pages were put together. You could say that what unfolds in Noamkin’s adventures is improvised. I’m really proud of this whole project and hope that you will love it as much as I do!

Illustration of the Day: Tuesday the 19th, Dec, 06

I just came across this illustration I did a few months back. It's one that I colored in which is pretty rare for me to do. I did a whole series of these characters. I thought it was pretty awesome in a really fucked up way. I'm calling it "The Murder."

Today's Illustration: 121806

Here is the inside page right after the cover of Noamkin. It has a great first start with Nun Chuck Vegas & Noamkin. Nun Chuck Vegas is already drunk and spilling his drink of choice, while Noamkin is swinging his swords around and talking. If I had swords I would swing them around all day too.

Comic Book: Elements:

I thought it would be fun to show all the elements to "Noamkin." Here they all are in Illustrator. I'm sure I will have a lot more, but this is a ton to do one comic.

Illustration of the Day:


I'm trying to get in the habit of posting one of my illustrations every day. I think that would be pretty rad, so you can something cool (or at least I think it is).


Here it is: This is going to be one of the panels in my new comic book that I'm working on. Enjoy!

Rad new painting of "The Sasquatch"

Oh man, I'm I ever happy with this totally rad painting of Sasquatch. I figured it would be awesome to have a full series to the line. The painting is pretty amazing. The grass has a lot of texture in it. The clouds are silver with circle strokes so they have texture as well. And, Sasquatch has a ton of paint that is super thick with texture. I used hard lines to draw in the details so it was very illustrated. A cool style of both in my opinion.

Here are some pictures and the description that I posted.

Enjoy!


"Did you think you had enough Sasquatch fan-memorabilia yet? No? Well good then. The big hairy footed friend of ours is now on a big awesome painting. Hand painted and hand illustrated, it is a big bad piece you don't want to mess around with. Sasquatch has a lot of built up texture for his fine hair, use your fingers to stroke him. Silver clouds are a symbol of his lifestyle and what is on the horizon. Sport a hoody to work, buy grocery with your Sasquatch tote bag, come home to drink some tea with this large and in charge painting. Really, what more is there in life? A Sasquatch poster! Collect them all and be a winner. No one wants to be a loser. Only ONE OF THESE! Signed on the back. Artwork by Karl Addison"

Creepy Doll Babies that I Illustrated


I have had these drawings for awhile now. The second for a top turned in to a painting I did awhile back. It is posted on my partybots.org site and sold quickly. Here are the other three that were in the series, I think they are awesome but I do not know what I want to do with them yet. Maybe turn them in to a cool object some how? Not sure, but I will think of something for sure!
