Jon McNally said...

Oh, very nice, John. I think the desolate mood's so nicely conveyed in the bottom two.

monkeyfeather said...

Yeah, great work John. Some really nice shapes combined with EXCELLENT compositions. I like the Robot and Kim a couple down as well.

Hey John,
these are great. There's so much life in all your drawings. BY the way, just picked up your sketch book in H.O.S.
All I can say is WOW. I'll be thumbing through it all the time.

Christina Forshay said...

Your stuff is awesome. You really get a ton of movement and emotion from your linework. Fun stuff!

paige said...

Yippe Ki Yo for me! I just love looking at your work. It's beyond beautiful. I'll be visiting House of Secrets soon, your book is a "must have".

uwe said...

Its really a shame thats there gets so much lost on the way from a strong sketch and preperation like in your work to a final picture on the screen.
Its so nice to see your work!! I love the "RUN!!!!!!"post

Garrett Shikuma said...

Your compositions and shapes are just awesome! Great stuff John!
I just picked up your sketchbook as well from House of Secrets, and looked through it several, several times already...thanks for the inspiration...

One of the few things as exciting as pirates are cowboys (well - they're not quite as exciting, but they're pretty cool).

Beth, Dik, Uloo, Monkeyfeather, Andre, Christina, Paige ...

Thank you so much guys!! I'm having fun, at times a bit too much fun blogging away. This stuff's addicting, but it's definitely making me crank out.

Donna & Garrett,
Thank you so much for getting the book at HOS. Truly, truly appreciate it!!!!

Uwe,

I totally agree with you!! I prefer looking at rough concepts versus clean-ups. I alway found the roughs more inspirational, more alive. The "Run" piece was fun to do. Glad you enjoy it too!

Elliot,

Yeah, cowboys are fun, but Pirates are the coolest!!! ARRRRRR!!!!
