Crayola Color Alive 2.0 Zombie Skater

This was created for the cover of the package for Crayolas Color Alive 2.0 Zombies pack. The intention was to make it look 3D without actually using 3D. The one with the colored in effect is the one used on the cover to show what you do with the product and the fully painted one was used on the booklet inside. I also painted the other Zombies featured on the package and the book, but those aren't as good as this one. Drawn by Andy Krankhe and digitally painted by me.

John-John Album

I did photo retouching and designed the debut EP for John-John Rytlewski with photos by Erich Talaba (my brother). Here are the album cover art and cd art.

Crayola Art Kits

These illustrations were created for Crayola art kits containg crayons and markers or something like that. The purple one was changed to turquoise after I was done with the project. These were drawn by Andy Krankhe and digitally painted by me.

Unpublished Perditions Edge Cover

Here's an unpublished Perditions Edge cover for issue #4. The writer and creator of the comic went with the pencillers color version instead.

New Crayola Work

It's been a long while since I've been able to post anything, as I have to wait until it's publicly available. This is usually because of something called a non-disclosure agreement. Much of what I work on is also stuff generally not for public consumption, such as color roughs and product concepts. Those types of illustrations are very loose and used to get the idea of the product across to others within the companies.

A little while ago I did more of the Crayola Silly Scents (previously called Doodle Scents). This round of illustrations were for the packaging of scented crayons. These were drawn by Andy Krankhe and digitally painted by me. I think it's obvious what they are.

Waffle Owl

This was a reworking of an already existing work for a cross promotion between Eggo and Crayolas Color Alive product. Some of the elements are 3D objects I texturized and colored in Photoshop.

Character Design work

Here's some character design work I've been doing for an as-yet published comics universe.

I've been given to go-ahead to post these.

Red Fin - a violent mobster

Brainy Billy - A young mutated villainous boy

Athena Mk7 - A murderous android reprogrammed to be heroic

Young No'ek - An Alien who landed in mid 20th century France

Older No'ek - Has had a rough time

It's Been A While...

I haven't posted in a while partly because I've been extremely busy and mostly because the work I have been doing I can't post because it hasn't gone public yet. So here's some stuff both old and new that I can post.

Recent Work

Here's the first spread from the recently released Minions Seek & Find book, which ties into the upcoming movie.

There's a new Crayola Experience opening soon in Florida, and here's the map for it.

This was pieced together with elements from the Easton, PA Crayola Experience map, which I also worked on, as well as some new illustrations.
