Wow, it's been ages since I posted here. I know, my bad... but man, having an infant around doesn't leave one with a lot of time to do as much art as I used to. I used to think 4 months to finish a CGTalk Challenge was an extravagant amount of time. Now the deadline is 19 days away and I'm going to have to work my butt off to make it - because when I'm home, even thoguh I love art, I love being with my little guy more. He's not going to be a little guy forever, y'know?

But anyhow, back to the art, thought I'd show you how the colors are coming along on the Strange Behavior entry:

Color version of the RPG Elves entry so far.

You can see more details of the progress here on my CGTalk thread.

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!

ARTWORK: Wonder Woman

So you want some new art I guess??? Okay heres a new one howsabout my first ever Wonder Woman. I've tried before at doing WW but she just never came out right. Anyway if you like it leave a comment because unfortunately my mind reading ability doesn't reach long distances!

It was a good chance to finally test out Illustrator on my new laptop and to almost iron out the issues of putting 7 year old software onto a new operating system. Its still not quite right but I'm working around it. Now if only I could get Photoshop to work on this thing. Oh yeah..... if anyone knows of a free image conversion program that can convert AI files into JPEG then please let me know I'm getting tired of having to move from computer to computer.

I gotta say the ButterFlies in my stomach have begun to aflutter with the prospect of my meeting with Bruce Timm next weekend. My friends have been egging me on to show him some of my artwork but I really don't want to destroy the illusion of Mr Timm actually liking it. I don't know really feeling very conflicted right now......
I found out my old friend SammyG is also going to the Armageddon Expo so atleast we will have fun there pointing and laughing at the geeks.....Oh wait I'm a Geek.....Dammit!!

My Joker Keyring has still yet to arrive, Oh I hope it comes Tomorrow!! More Artwork on the way!!

Coolest Thing EVER!!!

So I got this laptop backpack a bit over a month ago and I needed a keyring for one of the ties on it so I decided to try and find a little cool one to put on it. I just chucked in the EBAY search engine 'batman' for a bit of fun and low behold THEY EXIST!!!! Not only that but from the animated series............

So I totally fell in love with the Joker Head Keyring (right of picture) and so did everyone else for that matter but I was determined to own it. And after a long and expensive fight I now I do own it well almost..... waiting on it to arrive hopefully later this week. I seriously think this is the coolest keyring ever and its the kind of thing that could be stolen quite easily. So anyway what do you guys think is it cool?????

I know a few of you want to see some new art from me soon and I respect that, I have one or two pieces that I am finishing now and will be posting up soon with more on the way. After some teething problems I got Illustrator to work on my lappy with only a few bugs to fix but still I'm really happy about that!!

Got back tonight from watching 'Ying Tong' a stage production of the story of Spike Milligans Mental break down when he was in the Goons. It was very good with some funny and also sad moments I hope that one day I can find someone that is as cultured as I am because I know very few people who love the theatre experience nowadays!!

Short one today folks
-Matt

I'm not sure if I've posted every one of these, but here are my two favourites... The calendar is now finished, and is just awaiting approval from the client. I believe they'll be available off my website, but I'm not quite sure what I'll do yet. I'm closing the CafePress store, as I feel I can produce better prints at a better price myself, with more of a personal touch. So my website will be updated in the next couple of days, where I'll decide how I'll deal with this store idea, and having these calendars available. The store should be running by the end of October.

I feel as though I'm babbling. Babble babble babble!

Subliminal Message: Women Are Evil!!

So I'm in a bit of shock tonight I was watching the local news on TV and I discovered to my horror that a store in my home town was Burning down. It's called MYER and it also happens to be where I bought my recent and coolest bit of hardware my new 'LAPTOP'.

Its one of the biggest multi-stores in Hobart that sells everything from dvds to underwear. And now its gone up in a ball of flames. I guess your thinking why the hell should I be upset with something like this no-one died they all made it out safely and its just a shop.
But you see this is an old building it goes back to the early 1800's, I remember going there when I was just Five years old and seeing them put up posters of the 'new' Flash Gordon movie and playing with muppet show toys in that store. Its where my parents bought our very first video recorder 25 years ago although thankfully we didn't get the Beta machine. I've even known people that worked there. Now its just gone.

Its pretty much just fond memories and people who know me know I'm a very sentimental guy. The last time I was there was only this week on Thursday. I had a quick browse but its one of those places where if they didn't have anything on special the prices were way too high. The last thing I bought from there was the tickets to the armageddon expo for next month so lucky I decided to get them early.

So now they are estimating the damages not only to the myer store but the surrounding buildings as well its quite close to the only comic store in Hobart so I hope thats okay!! It seems that it will be closed until after christmas while they decide on what to do next. This will make a significant impact into our local economy so it will be interesting to see what rises from the ashes. I'm going there on monday so will stick my nose in and see if I can get close to the damage and get some photos of it. (EDIT) So I just heard they believe the fire started at the cosmetics counter which would be about right as it most likely was started by a woman looking in a mirror.

As I just mentioned before I have got the Tickets to Armageddon expo so I'll be there in mid-October to meet Bruce Timm (I hope) and hopefully other famous people. From reading recently it looks like Adam West and Julie Newmar have dropped out. And I was hoping that I could get Julie to sign my SGT BILKO dvd. Damn oh well!!

Onto other news and as you may know by now I have two blogs, This one and my blogspot so the differences should becoming more apparent. On the blogspot I will have my life as an artist in cartoon form with selected stories and experiences as well as my special projects and I have also begun a regular weekly posting of Anti-Girl cartoons which I hope to build upon. I will also do all my live blogging on blogspot. You can check it out HERE

This blog will contain all my bits of new miscellanious art and more personal notes if I have any new art on one of my projects I will also link to it from here as I know not many read this bloody thing. Anyway theres apparently an rss feed if you want subscribe to this for some reason.

here it is http://www.drawingboard.org/blogs/rss.php?w=Tinman2040

I'll chat to all one of you again in a day or two.

Blades Program

{ 17h56, 9.18.2007 } { 2 comments } { Link }

Here's the new Saskatoon Blades program cover. It's my most favourite illustration thus far, because of my love of hockey, and because the Blades were the perfect client - they let me run with my idea, and loved the result! The programs are free at every game this year, so if you're in Saskatoon be sure to make it to a game - or four games since the plan is to have four different editions!

Don't be Bald when you Have a Brain Scan!!

Over the last several weeks I've been having a lot of medical tests, I've had X-Rays, Ultrasounds and now I've had my first and hopefully last EEG which stands for Electroencephalography (say that when Drunk). Its a way of recording Brainwaves. And before you say it Yes I was found to have had a Brain if not a very small one the size of a Peanut.

I was hoping to get a picture of me wearing the scanner cap but the operator freaked when they found I brought a celphonecamera in the Hospital. And I was not allowed to use it but heres a quick picture of what I would have looked like and yes I would have looked more like a dick than normal.....

It was all recordered on computer it will be alittle while until I learn the results. But when they finished they took off the cap to reveal all these imprints in my head I looked like BRAINIAC it took ages for them to finally leave and more people stared at me as I left the hospital like I was a freak more than usual. HAH!!

See I'm still blogging here once I get back into the swing of things, everything will become clearer as to what blog I will use for what until then Standby for exciting news coming very soon.

Here are two more for the calendar. I'm trying to get it done by Sunday, so I'll post the finished ones here when they're done. 4 more to go!

I'll post the Blades Program cover illustration soon too - Tuesday I think. It's scheduled for the press that day so I'd like to wait until there's no turning back before showing it off to the public.

Bitter Pill!!

I've only been back a week or two from Melbourne and already had a number of trips back to the Doctor. So right now I'm on yet more Medication this time on Antibiotics. But when I saw the SIZE of the pill I was to take I was dumbstruck, I mean its freakin' HUGE!! My throat wasn't made to swallow anything as big as this and I have to take three of them per Day. Anyway thats the reason for no recent updates here I'm still using my laptop which hasn't got any Adobe software hence no art to post I'll try and do some quick sketches when I can I'll just post this quickie of my latest predicament for now.....

Hey Drawingboard pals! Ariel and I got married on Saturday!

We're out on Oahu now. Below is a doodle I did while looking out the window of the little rental condo where we're staying. Click to see bigger (and be taken to our flickr page) I don't have a whole lot of drawing done, but I'll try to find time to do more.

Also, I like this picture. (Note the t-shirt)

Here is one more for the cityscape calendar...

I'm also wrapping up a project that I'm quite proud of, and will post here in about a week. It's this year's Saskatoon Blades (WHL) game program, and it is awesome. I'm illustrating the cover as well as the design, and I'm super proud of this cover illustration. Plan is we'll be doing four of them this year, and possibly some other illustrated ad campaigns so I'll keep my fingers crossed. Make sure to check it out in the next week!

Project Rooftop

{ Posted by HellboyOne }
{ 8:43 AM, 8.27.2007 } { 1 comments } { Link }

I sent an entry into the latest Project Rooftop subject which is a tribute to Mike Wieringo's Flash characters. Here's my take on Impulse.

I know it's a little out of the ordinary (and maybe even sacreligious for hardcores) to put the Flash in blue, but I have very little attachment to this character. I guess one must consider history when redesigning classic, iconic characters. Fortunately, Impulse isn't exactly one of those. (Actually, I don't know. Never read him much!)

Anyway...I drew this at work in pencil (in between making the new Bionic Woman bionic) and finished the rest in Photoshop.

It's probably not fair that I have to follow my buddy Joel Carroll on Rooftop. He's one of the best redesigners I know.

Optimus Prime??

Let's try and get this show back on the road somehow, goddammit.

Here's a drawing of Optimus Prime. If he weren't a robot. (I have to stop hanging out on Transformers forums.)
