A few recent things…

by Dead Mello | July 5th, 2011
 

Hey everyone! It’s been a hectic 2011, my head has stopped spinning long enough to finally post here! Here’s a few recent-ish things from me…

My latest book cover for the North American hardcover release of “Wereworld”, an awesome novel written by Curtis Jobling and published by Viking Press.

A personal piece inspired by various things including Obeah and Igbo Masks…

And a graphic I did for Whistler, BC based Chromag Bikes…makers of fine mountain bike frames and components.

Hey Gorillas,

Just wanted to let everyone know I’m still around, and I have been enjoying all of the incredible work you guys are posting, you’ve been blowing me away. 2010 was pretty crazy, but in a great way… Busy work schedule, busy freelance schedule and an awesome baby boy for my wife and I had me swamped. Anyway, here’s a personal piece I worked on for months in between work and jobs. A bit more explanation and a details crop over at my blog

Fox & Phoenix cover

by Dead Mello | October 21st, 2010
 

Hi Gorillas!!! Wow, it’s been a crazy log time since I posted…I’ve been stopping by and checking out all the awesome work though - you guys and girls are killing it! Anyway, no one wants to read my ramblings so on to the goods…

Here’s a cover I did for a great YA novel from Viking press called “Fox & Phoenix”. The story takes place in a southeast asian inspired world where the people have spirit familiars and the technology is powered by magic flux.The concept was to have the two main characters and their familiars entering a bustling city filled with people, lights and magic and being a bit overwhelmed by it all. I had a great time bringing the world to life…

Darkstalkers, a Bear & a girl and some Colour Thumbs.

These Darkstalkers pieces didn’t make the Udon book, which makes me a bit sad cuz I loved that game so much back in the day… oh well, that means I can post them here!  There’s a couple other random things in there too…
