Barbora Kodetova as Cheney-Dune

2011-11-29T20:21:00.001-08:00

I may be in a minority here. Or possibly I am the only person on this planet that liked the mini series of Dune. Honestly it wasn't that bad. My friend Will Carter hated the paper of the Space Guild (shrugs) eh, I didn't think it was that bad.

But my favorite part of Dune the mini series was Barbora Kodetova who played Cheney. I thought that she looked exactly like how Frank Herbert described. This is a drawing from the mini series that showed Cheney topless standing in front of a Glow Globe.

Christmas Is Cancelled

Christmas Card - Snow Hill

Xmas Card -Holly

2011-11-22T18:53:00.001-08:00

This is a part of a Christmas card I am making for friends and family. Some people will actually get the origanil art as a Christmas present. Some people will just get the card. But when I am done making prints for these cards it will be a piece of art people are getting from my wife and I.

There are no borders on this because I am going to make prints of this.

Moon Owl

2011-11-21T13:31:00.001-08:00

I drew this for a Bday present.

Javier Bardem-No Country For Old Men

2011-11-13T01:36:00.001-08:00

Javier Bardem was one of the best guys I've ever seen. His role in No Country For Old Men won him an Oscar and rightly so. So I just had to draw his portrait.

Matthew Lillard - SLC Punk

2011-11-11T00:36:00.001-08:00

One of my favorite movies is SLC Punk. So I had to draw a portrait of Mathew Lillard as Stevo. I don't think that Mathew did all of that great of job as an actor. Certainly forgettable. But the story is fantastic. I was definitely invested in Stevo's character.

Henry Rollins

2011-11-10T01:45:00.000-08:00

So I've been a fan of Henry Rollins for a very long time and I just had to draw a portrait of him. I never liked Black Flag very much but I really liked his spoken word a lot.

Cool Hand Rooney

2011-11-03T15:53:00.000-07:00

This is a portrait of Paul Newman as the characters John Rooney from the movie Road to Perdition and Luke from the movie Cool Hand Luke. I absolutely love that movie Cool Hand Luke. I wanted to combine a portrait with both young and old Paul Newman. One of the greatest American actors.

The Faces of Patrick Bateman

2011-11-01T18:37:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite movies is American Psycho the character Patrick Bateman played by Christian Bale is one of the heinous characters ever. Patrick has many faces and no one ever gets to see who he really is. Because he simply isn't there.

Kevin Spacey-Seven

2011-11-01T12:11:00.000-07:00

One of my most favorite characters that Kevin Spacey ever played. John Doe from the movie Seven. There is a fantastic graphic novel called Seven too. The story is told from the perspective of the serial killer.

Anthony Hopkins-Hannibal Lecter

2011-10-31T17:07:00.000-07:00

Hannibal Lecter is one of my favorite characters ever and Anthony Hopkins played him so well. So well that I had to draw him.

Vet On a Bus

2011-10-30T03:51:00.000-07:00

When Jenny and I first moved to Santa Cruz we were riding a bus and we encountered this WWII vet. He was a very interesting man. When he was a teenager he said he was a bicycle messenger in Hollywood. He said he met all the famous stars before he joined the service. Then he told me about his time in the service. I thought it would be a shame if I never drew him.

Clive Owen - Children Of Men

2011-10-29T03:15:00.000-07:00

So this is Clive Owen from the movie Children Of Men. Have you seen that movie? If not I highly recommend. Its a great movie. Besides being a great movie, Clive Owen is a serious tall drink of water to look at.

I decided to take a break from my Art Journal and draw some portraits. This is going to be my first one of some of my favorite actors. Some people I took pictures of. Just anybody who I think are interesting.

2011-09-08T15:02:00.000-07:00

I am going to have an art show in November 04/11 at Subrosa in Santa Cruz.

I was asked to create some Anarchist themed illustrations for this show and this is what I came up with.

You can find my art journals on my other blog @ blog @ http://shanesartjournal.blogspot.com

Hogard's Last Stand

2011-07-25T20:37:00.000-07:00

Hogard's Last Stand

May your Mothers choke upon your name when they lament

over your blood and entrails. For I may be the last of my people

I shall surely not be the only man that dies this day. Come and spill my

blood if your steel is worthy. Come and die dogs.

Been a long time since I uploaded and updated this blog

2011-07-24T17:02:00.000-07:00

Unusual Encounters.

I do not know where or how I got this idea.

Just seemed really cool.

Friends

Just a fairy and his pet dragonfly.

He That Walks Behind The Rose

I got this idea from Stephen King, Children of The Corn.

Except I think the literary source is referring to, He That Walks

Behind the Rows. As in rows of corn.

My Finest Moment

2009-08-07T14:26:00.000-07:00

This is probably my finest moment in my professional art career. I was commissioned to make an illustration of a character in a book named Galen Altos, which was created by Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff for his podio book Shadow Falls which can be heard @ http://shadowfalls.mevio.com

I want to bring your attention to how the moon runs into the curvature of the ceiling of the church on the left side of the drawing? Well...I wish I could say that that was completely intentional. That was a happy accident. I had no idea that the moon would would do that. I just traced around a large metal bowl and drew the moon craters. When I stood back and looked at the drawing I noticed that the curvature and the white of the ceiling formed the other side of the moon. I was so thrilled that I had accidentally done that.

This is the last of my Steven series for Blood Witness.

The person emerging from the water was a recently turned vampire that was left to die in the sun.

The author of the book did not like my last drawing so I scrapped my last idea and went with this one.

The person emerging from the water was a recently turned vampire that was left to die in the sun. I thought that the lillipads, the frog, and the bloated hand would be a nice addition to this scene.

The person emerging from the water in the illustration was a recently turned vampire that was left to die in the sun. He quickly went to the bottom of a pond to escape the sunlight. As he emerged from the pond he was extremely pissed off.

I added the water weeds and the leech on his forehead as extra effect.

My art is featured on an authors website.

2009-06-09T08:09:00.000-07:00

My art was featured on a Pod-Caster, Podio-Book Caster, authors website. His name is Mark Nemcoff and his podio-books are, are, well simply incredible. Diary of a Madman is brilliantly twisted and incredible. It is the most amazing journey into madness that I ever experienced. Please click this link to see my feature http://pacificcoasthellway.com/2009/06/08/diary-of-a-madman-artwork-by-shane-lees . Keep reading to learn more about Mark Nemcoff.

Recently I listened to the best Podio-Book that I've ever listened to about a man that becomes obsessed with killing serial killers. The author Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff

http://markyoshimotonemcoff.com/Books/DOM does the narration of the book and his dictation is absolutely superb. He makes the book sound as exciting and twisted as it is.

The podio-book can be downloaded at the link that I provided above or here -----> http://www.podiobooks.com/title/diary-of-a-madman at podiobooks.com .

However let me warn you now. That podio-book is not for the faint of heart. The books contains extreme, extreme violence and Nemcoff gives fair warning at the beginning of each chapter that he reads.

My illustration shown to the left is of a scene in the book that involves a pen and an eye. I held out my own pen as I illustrated it.

Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff (Face book link) is by far one of the best authors ever and his podcasts are absolutely riveting. His other podio-book Number One With Bullet I suggest everybody should check that out http://www.podiobooks.com/title/number-one-with-a-bullet .

BY THE WAY. THE BEST THING ABOUT PODIO-BOOKS, THEY'RE ALL FREE.

Artist Statement

I grew up in Tacoma W.A. which was known for its foul smell called the “Aroma of Tacoma.” When I was 12 years old I created my first poster sized illustration of Conan the Barbarian. I had an overwhelming desire to draw. Many say that my illustrations combine a sense realism and fantasy while incorporating a unique style. My art really reflects my love for fantasy and Sci-Fi mediums. I love expressing my desire to look up into the sky and dream.

My profound passion for illustrating and creating art is only matched by my fundamental belief that all people are fully equal. I am convicted that everybody should have the same social justice, rights, and protections regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity. I donate my time and money to non-profit organizations that promote equality and social justice for everybody. I also think that it is important that people learn to think rationally and logically. So donate both my time and money to organizations that encourage natural world views and healthy skepticism.
