TiKi-MaNiA

For an Ongoing project I've been working on for the last few years featuring my Character, Ivy Lee...and a Whole Lotta Tiki's.
Inks Coming soon.

Ivy Lee: Clowning Around

The first mini series I have planned for this character. For those who HATE Clowns, this book's right up your Alley. When and if I ever get it penciled.

Hi Billy!

Inks look good man. You have been absent from the Inkwell. Hope all is well.

[ Posted by Splotchy on Jul 8th, 2008 6:04 AM ]... Hey Jimmy, how's it goin' man?? Yeah, I've stepped away for quite a while. was working 2 jobs since '05 when I came back to Cali, and as of April, down to one. Still doing the Assisting thing more Fulltime now, and hoping all goes well at San Diego to jumpstart my career in fullswing. It was really difficult going through all those e-mails in one sitting, so I just backed off, and recently deleted all the old ones going through that inbox. Plus, with the recent Lull in work this past week, I managed to get 4 new Tiki Pinups Inked, and even printed out a copy of one to throw some colored pencils on. All of which I'm uploading now.

[ Posted by Splotchy on Apr 12th, 2007 7:52 PM ]... Thanks Terry. Love Al's work. Printed out some stuff I found of his and been trying to Ink it up, but haven't had much of a chance lately. Would love to Ink some new stuff of his if ever the chance arose. Working from Prints is a pain in the ass.

thanks for the add. alex sorta fell off the radar after he stopped doing 10th muse. i have tried contacting him several times, because i still have some of his original pages, but he's hard to get a hold of.....

I've got several more of my own to do, including a couple of 2 pagers, and a 3 pager I'm really dying to sit down and do. Plus, I've got a few friends from this Biz who've done one for me, and waiting on a few more.

I've got some stuff I'm working on right now, just taking a quick break, trying to get ready for the Wiz World LA show. If I can get this stuff scanned in I'll post it up here. Might just pull some old stuff from my Photobucket page to put up here. Later man.

One of these days Peej. Got a pin-up I've gotta finish soon, but have my assistant thing going full swing right now. So between that and my fulltime job outside the Biz, chances are it might be weeks before I get anything on here.
