Halloween Poster 2010

New poster for Modern Gala's annual Halloween bash. This one gave me some trouble. After about 5 weeks of working on this, I lost my original PS file because my computer is a piece of garbage, so all I had to go off of was a hard-copy print that I did as a color proof. I had to scan it in and basically start over without my layers or clarity from the original file. It was bullshit. But alas, I think it looks pretty good, despite some dust and noise still visible from the scan. I'd originally planned to print these on 11" x 17" 100lb. ivory stock, but given the current griminess of this piece, I doubt I'll be doing that. Anyway, for more info on the party, which is sure to be outstanding, visit Modern Gala

A Preview of Horrors to Come

I've got a lot going on at the moment, and most of it's going towards a horror movie- themed art show at R.J. Saxon's in Dothan, AL. They do it big on the Halloween front every year. So this is something I did for them, and it's a bit of a sample of the things I'll be posting in the near future. Got a big new Halloween poster on the way, along with 3 or 4 pen and ink jobs, and they're all gruesome, so stay tuned.

Dottie

Portrait of my friend Landin's husky, after an injury. 8" x 10" pen and ink on paper.

Jabba (Revisited)

I've finally finished this. There were some delays, needless to say. It ended up being another one for the B.S.'s. Anyway, it's just an 11" x 17". I'm not sure how many colors. Double digits.

PALUS ASTRUM

Pen & Ink, on 9" x 12" 80lb.

Wants to Get Funked Up

New one for Kevin "Wang" Scott's Monday Night Funk Shows. I had to do this one with a dastardly quickness, so a lot of the coloring is sloppy and the ladies look like hombres. But for being rushed, I'm still pretty pleased with it. I'm almost certain there'll be numerous changes to this one in the coming weeks, though, once they decide on printing options.
11" x 17" 5-color.

Col. Bruce Hampton tour poster.

11" x 17" eight color on cream.
Big thanks to Mr. Kevin Scott, the current touring bass player, for setting this up, and of course cheers to the lovely Robin Davis for posing.

Self Portait (as Carcharodon carcharias)

Fiery Turkey

Another festive B.S. poster. I did this one, from start to finish, in two days. That's quite speedy for me, so I'm happy about it. 8 1/2" x 11" print.

Halloween Prints For Sale

11" x 17" 6-color prints, signed and numbered, in an edition of 15, for $15 each. Pick them up at K.D. O'Shea's, Dothan, AL the night of the show, and if you can't make it, you can email me at nealrussler@gmail.com and we can work something out.

Jabba (Inks)

I was on the phone with Johnny whilst finishing this up, and he wanted to see it, so here it is. It's not done yet, so stay posted in the next few weeks to see it with color and text.

Apple Slice

Here's the ticket design I did for the aforementioned Halloween party.
2" x 4" printed.

Brangela

Here's another "Friends" picture I did of the soon-to-be-wed Angela "Wicca" Bryant and Brandon "Cookie" Dainas.

You're a Witch, Girl (Gallons of BOOze)

Alright, so here's this year's Crime-spree/Modern Gala Halloween Party flyer. If you're anywhere near the Dothan, AL area on Oct. 31st, I suggest you stop by. Last year was a real graveyard smash, and this one's apt to be as well. 11" x 17" prints.


Here's the original inks.

Epigenetics Illustration

This is one of the three figures I've made for the Lubin Lab at UAB, and they're going in a new epigenetics textbook. It's basically DNA methylation, and how it affects gene expression. Exciting. Anyway, it took about a week to finish all three, with Robin directing.

Down Time, with Sharpies: Ep. 1

Started messing around with markers, just for fun. I did this caricature of the nigh-immortal Russian Hostile/Other on 8 1/2" x 11" 3-hole ruled notebook paper. Robin liked it, so here it is.
