Somebody Pinch Me

I’m starting a partnership with Harley-Davidson that, after freelancing for half my adult life, was the first opportunity to leave me speechless while on the phone with a client.

The conversation turned in a way that my seen-it-all, heard every request work-assumptions were entirely flipped. It’s pretty fantastic to be surprised in such a complete way, especially when the use cases of a thousand previous clients left me utterly unprepared.

Today, l leave for Montreal as a part of Harley’s Taste of Freedom Tour. I get to attend a Motorcycle Bootcamp, meet with folks from Harley, and attend UFC 158 (go GSP!). In the coming weeks and months, they’ll be more events, and I’ll even have some merch to giveaway!

Harley’s instructors will teach me to ride and I’ll document the process. After, l get to customize my own Harley, piece by piece.

It’s easy to see why l was left speechless when l got the first call. Harley feels that my work embodies the spirit of their brand and now l get to put my body on one of their bikes! Nutty!

l’ll be sure to post from the events. l’ll need the evidence. lf you could pinch me every so often, that might help too.

Custom Manga Studio 4 Inking & Natural Media Brushes

Download my brushes at a special introductory rate. Reblog for a chance at a free set!

The Brushes

I’ve been using Manga Studio for comic style work since the app was localized and brought to American audiences by SmithMicro in 2006. I’ve always pushed the boundaries of what was primarily an inking app, creating brushes that took the limitations of Manga Studio’s brush engine and smacked them against the wall. I like to make art apps bleed and Manga Studio has been my target of choice.

This set was created over seven years of obsessive iteration. Included are ten custom inking tools and seven natural media tools.

The Work

I’ve used the inking tools on work for clients like Nickelodeon, Burton, and Nike. My Photoshop and Manga Studio brushes are in use by industry professionals such as Dave Gibbons, Cameron Stewart, Bryan Lee O'Malley, and Mike “Gabe” Krahulik, and I suspect you’ll dig them too!

The below videos and accompanying images (and virtually all of the illustrations on my over 2,000 image deep Flickr account) were all created using my custom inking presets.

And the digital painting below was painted entirely in Manga Studio on a full color layer at 600 dpi using the natural media brushes in this set (The primary brushes used were the “Oil” and “Bristle” brush variants included in the download and the initial sketch was drawn with the “Sketching Pencil.”)

Drawing Spongebob. I had around a six month gig with Nickelodeon last year. I worked on Spongebob apparel designs and, in a separate job, even got to take a crack at the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles logo.

I’m compiling videos and drawings that showcase my Manga Studio 4 brushes for the sales posting. I came across this one and wanted to share.
