Behance alphabet B!

I was invited by Mark Miller of Dark Igloo to participate in creating an alphabet for Behance. Each artist got to pick a letter and being that my initials are BBB, my choice was obvious. I decided to style my letter around the ancient diety Ba'al, who is more commonly known today as a demon and polyonymously as The Lord of the Flies, Beelzebub, and even Satan himself. 

My sister, Jordan, also did one (J of course. Are the Bruners a bit narcissistic?). As she put it, "It's a Josephine Baker look-a-like stepping on a Jack Russel Terrier dressed as Thomas Jefferson, duh..." 

I can't wait to see the completed alphabet. It should be great! 

The Molly Maguires

I got to do a piece for The Progressive's 2012 calendar which is themed around forgotten American history. My little bit of  forgotten history involves the Molly Maguires who were coal mining Irish immigrants living in 19th century Pennsylvania.  They unionized, and due to poor working conditions, low pay, and long hours they decided to strike. Of course their corporate bosses/enemies didn't like this, and to make a long story short, 20 of the union leaders were wrongly convicted of murder and later executed. For more info, here's the always reliable wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molly_Maguires

Mind Over Matters: Chapter Four

Hey y'all, here's a link and some samples of the fourth chapter of the Mind Over Matters comic for Pfizer which I think may be the best one yet. Also as some friends know already I based some of the new characters on their likenesses. Enjoy!

Chapters Five and Six will be on their way soon enough.
