Well, here it is. The cover image for my new full color art book entitled:
NORSECHOWDER Volume 2: A Bowlful Of Asgardian Awesome Sauce
A quick note… The book will be available to purchase via Lulu.com and Amazon.com either tonight or tomorrow morning. I was going to launch it at the CTN EXPO show in a few weeks, but I’ve had enough people ask me about it that I’ve chosen to make online purchasing available earlier.
Again, stay tuned in the next day or so when I’ll post links.
Cheers!!
-John-
PS: My new book is now available for purchase on Lulu.com. Amazon.com isn’t available yet, but here it is on Lulu:
Was inspired by @sdesink to do some night time Street Fighter related doodles in between bonding time and play with @mokalattedoge

Hey All! Been super long since I posted really anything of significance and I feel shitty about that. That being said, this is a piece that’s pretty important to me. It’s the result of a Character Design workshop that I put together for the Kazone Art School in La Habra and Irvine a few weeks back where I presented a few interesting ideas in approach to character design and how to exercise your imagination. This post has all the images that I used in the presentation without the context, but the gist of it should be pretty clear…Come up with 3 unique variables for a character, number them 1 through 3, and weigh those factors differently in 6 separate executions so as to challenge yourself in pushing how you think about visual exploration.
.
I did two separate sets in preparation for the talk, but ended up focusing on “Mira the Time Bandita” because I felt she was the stronger of the two ideas (by far) and because she is named and modeled after my close friend @shillyshallysiobhan ’s cat. :)
.
Cheers! And feel free to ask me questions. :)

Hey all! Wanna know some of the processes and tricks behind my approach to character design like these two? WELL THEN….You may want to tune in on Sunday when Charles Lee and I will be running a pair of Workshops at Kazone’s new La Habra location….IT WILL APPARENTLY ALSO BE STREAMED LIVE ON INSTAGRAM as well as recorded and later uploaded to YouTube.
.
I’ll be going in depth in regards to how I explore, iterate and execute on character design ideas, initially started by utilizing a relatively simple exercise that I will explain during the workshop.
.
For now, enjoy “GreaseFire” and “Mira the Time Bandita,” prepare your questions an tune into Kazone!!! https://www.facebook.com/KazoneArtIrvine/?tsid=0.2324269788972837&source=result
