New Art: Witch Doctor's Laboratory

Prompted by the topic of a witch doctor from Sketch Dailies, I decided to not only draw the character, but his laboratory. I wasn't originally planning on this much detail until I got carried away by inspiration. It took me much more than a day.

I didn't base it on any specific culture, rather I combined multiple tribal objects and imagery, including a dose of fantasy elements.

I wasn't going to draw him naked but a loin cloth or grass skirt seemed too cartoony. When I first sketched out the figure, I decided instead to dress him in only tattoos.

I'm sure that most of the time I was working on this, I had a concentrated, stern expression. Drawn on my iPad for practice and fun.

40 Flatirons of Boulder, Colorado

Boulder's famous landmark is its Flatirons rock formations. Their geography rises above the town inspiring locals and visitors with their beauty.

Being that I live here, it's the most common thing I get commissioned to illustrate. I've drawn them so many times, I no longer require photo reference. Below are all of the Flatirons I've created professionally over the years. These can be found on travel posters, murals, websites, event posters, comics, food packaging, and t-shirts. Most are in my common poster style but I've also experimented with different aesthetics.

Many of these Flatirons can be found in my Boulder travel posters.
