Film and Graphic novel news

Wed Jul 1, 2009, 8:20 PM
Hey DA, I wanted to share some news with you. As some of you know in April I left the gig at Ignition entertainment. At the time it was a little depressing because I left behind some good friends and talented artist who wanted to finish the project with me. In the last 2 months I've been returning to my roots and creating art. Though I enjoy art directing especially if I have a great team to work with, there is simply nothing like creating art yourself and envisioning whole worlds, scenes, characters and creatures etc, this is what I really enjoy and live for.

I've always felt that my work was best suited for story telling be it a single illustration a character design or a comicbook, film etc. I also feel like the level of detail I put in some of my work was suited more for illustration and film then games, though the technology used to visualize and play games is coming closer to cinema, It's not quite there but it's coming along.

Well now it's all coming together as I will be working on the feature film "John Carter of Mars" directed by Andrew Stanton. I've been a big fan of the original writer of these books Edgar Rice Burroughs and I am really thrilled to work on the project.

The other part of the news is that I also will be working with Radical comics on a new series/graphic novel which will be my first comicbook/sequential work. I cannot disclose any other info on either project but I can say that the graphic novel will be fully painted.

So just when I thought my career was maxing out I'm thrown another wave of adventure and wonderment that my art has brought to me, it's very crazy at times to think what I will get myself into next or should I say what my art will get me into :). Just read the previous Journal entry to see how crazy a life of an artist can be.

If I dont post as often you now know what I will be doing, but the good thing when the work is done and ready to show there will be a good chunk.

I'll do my best to keep DA informed of my whereabouts and projects.

all the best,

JP

awesome - I want a job like yours.
inspirational stuff, im off to draw
You're truly a professional :), you have worked with many pro's.
I'm looking to get some concept art done myself as i'm really getting into 3d, in your experience do concept art drawings come as single stills from the front view? or do you do that sort of front side and back view thing that i think would really be necessary to complete a model.
I mean, of the concept art you posted, are they meant to be directly translated into 3d models?
Thanks, great art, -Ben :)
Absolutely epic gallery friend, you are brilliant at what you do - seriously.
