Is this thing on?

Hello? lo… oh … oh.

After a 2.5 year gap in posting to my own site I am back.

I have been working on a lot of different projects of late. Mostly for Antarctic Press. Lots of Steampunk. And zombies. Some other works. I recently launched a successful Kickstarter for the Ultimate Zombie Playing Card deck designed by me and printed by the world famous USPCC who creates the Bicycle cards and a lot of others. You can check out the Kickstarter here…

I’ll be working on the final cards for the next couple of weeks before sending them off to the printer. After that it will take up to 6 weeks to make them, then a few weeks or so to ship them out to our Kickstarter backers around the world.

After that I’ll be doing more work on my new comicbook, AIRSHIP ENTERPRISE. What’s that you say? Well, it’s only in the early stages right now. I have some art you can check out at AirshipEnterprise.com and please follow along at facebook.com/airshipenterprise because I’ll be posting a lot of the work there. The story will be told online first with the idea of publishing later.

Life is pretty great. More art coming soon. I hope this will do for now.

Superheroes 2011

What this year needs right now is a little light-hearted pick-me-up.

This is the Marvel/DC Snowpocalypse State Of The Union 2011.

Drawn and colored entirely in Adobe Illustrator CS3.

Iron Man 2011

OK. New Year. Let’s see if I can update this blog a little more often.

I have always enjoyed drawing on people. I once saved a buddy in the Marines from getting a tattoo of his girlfriends name. I told him I would draw her name on his chest as the stem of a rose. It worked out great. It looked like a real tattoo. We took a bunch of pics of it, and he sent it to her. She loved it, but as all things go when you do something like that and put your heart on your sleeve, they broke up a few weeks later. He was glad he didn’t get that done for real. I’m glad I was there to keep him from doing something stupid. He never forgot that favor.

Cut to years later and I’m still drawing on people. My friend Molly let me draw Iron Man on her stomach. I thought it would be cool to show it off, she doesn’t mind me showing it here. This image took less than 2 hours to complete. I drew it from the famous Adi Granov image.We are going to do some more when we have time. Some Alice In Wonderland, some zombies, more heroes, etc.

I like how the chest piece lines up with the belly button. I’m a professional, people. I didn’t plan it, it just worked out that way. She was cool enough to wear a Punisher costume that my buddy made. I included that pic in this post.

What do you think?

Brian Denham WW2 ART

Here’s some pics I took of my drawing table. Recent WW2 art. Look, ma! I’m drawing on paper!

X-MEN #1 Sketch Covers

Brian Denham — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 04:33:08 +0000

I had a lovely Thursday. I Drove out to Dallas to draw on sketch covers of X-Men #1 at Lone Star Comics. There was a pretty decent turn-out despite the rain. The wonderful staff had X-Men cupcakes at the ready, vampire teeth and free drinks. I sat down at 2pm and finished drawing on the sketch covers at 8pm. My cell phone died toward the end of the day and I was not able to get pics of a few of the sketches I drew. Here are as many as I could take pictures of. The rest of the covers are going to be emailed to me and I’ll share those later.

Thanks to everyone who came out. I had a great time.

Steampunk Palin

Brian Denham — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 03:26:27 +0000

More classy comics from my buddies at Antarctic Press. They loved the art I drew for the Sarah Palin: Rogue Warrior comic and asked me to contribute a cover for the upcoming comic; Steampunk Palin. I love steampunk. This was a real treat. Although I’m not into Sarah Palin, you cannot deny her presence at this time in our history. I will be doing several more Sarah Palin covers later this year.

A street named Star Trek

Brian Denham — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 04:33:01 +0000

I did a random search on my droid phone for Star Trek near Dallas. Just wondering what kind of cool things could be found this way and look what I found- a street named Star Trek! It’s even at the corner of Apollo! Like that episode where Apollo was real and held the Enterprise in his disembodied space hand until Kirk beamed down and cock-blocked him from macking on Scotty’s hottie. Too bad for Apollo. But what a cool way to immortalize this clash of space titans. Here’s a shot of the street I got off Google Maps.

CAPTAIN AMERICA

A recent commission of Captain America in WW2. I drew him sporting the costume designs for the upcoming movie. I am so excited for that movie to come out.

AQUAMAN

Brian Denham — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 22:26:08 +0000

Here’s a shot of Aquaman. I’m still adding to my portfolio. I thought it would be fun to do some character pin-up shots just to get a feel for drawing them. I know the poses may be boring but I will start playing around with action shots soon enough. These are the calm moments before the storm.
