Jason May - Illustration

I figured it would be nice of me to sprinkle in some new art during my 'OLD ART' posting that will be continuing for the next few weeks. A friend of mine has been asking me for a while to paint this robot. So, that's what I did today.

I have no idea where this illustration came from. I probably had it in a dream. Similar to the time I had a vision of a dog eating a cat who's eating a mouse. In a sort of Meso-American style. But I digress...

This is a blue gentleman standing on a stool who seems to be tasting various foods (which are floating through the air. Take with it what you will and please comment on how ridiculous you think it is.

Here is  a more fleshed out sketch of Star-Lord. This was also recommended via twitter. I will be asking for more ideas next week. By the next convention I will be ready to take on commissions without flinching!

Steampunk Howard the Duck. Man, what an awesome concept. I wish I had the idea  myself. Thanks for the tweet idea. Maybe someday we'll see a reboot of howard the duck in the 1800's.

I asked the twitterverse and facebook world what I should draw this week. I was asked to draw Star-lord. So, I am. I  just need to do a bit more with it, like draw good guns, tighten up the image, add a background and ink it. Please post comments and thoughts. Maybe you have suggestions.

A while back I tweeted a question,"what should I draw on my new weekly blog." Curtis Lawson of Broken Soul Press asked that I draw a robot building a human. Last night, the mood struck me and here is what I came up with. Enjoy!

This week I am sharing an image that I created to promote a band event. I created the image from a description given to me by a band member of the F-bombs. It is for their upcoming show on April 9th 2010. It will be in Groton CT at Christopher's Cafe.

I am working on a set of steampunk goggles which will be displayed in the Steampunk Bizarre art gallery show in July 2010. The gallery opening will be on July 17th at the Hartford Art Space. More information to come.

This week I'm working on some designs for the up and coming New England Small Press Assembly show (NESPA). I was asked to do some work on various items and one of them was to design a fun robot in a style that many of you have grown to associate with me. I'm very excited for the project and look forward to seeing the little guy plastered all over the NESPA forms and flyers.

This small practice amp is crafted from a cigar box as well as additional pieces of machined wood. This is an early stage off assembly. When the amp is finished it will have a volume and gain control. As well as a power switch and an ultra bright LED installed in the headlamp. Other embellishments such as a name plate will also be added.
