A little something I painted on an old book cover. I enjoy painting these little paintings on old book covers immensely. To see more of my artwork check out Penandmarker.wordpress.com as well. Also, feel free to contact me at Phenzyart@gmail.com for all your illustration/creative needs.
I feel like I have been neglecting this website and unfortunately it is true… the fact that I have both this website and my pen and marker website that I try to keep running (even though I finished my 365 days of drawing a while back) sometimes I’m not sure which page to post things to. On top of that that I also started a Tumblr page called Mega 8 just for my video game related artwork, so it ends up being a lot of work to keep up with everything that I have going on(but I still love working on all of the sites that I run). Oh well… I will make up for it by updating you with some of the things that I have been up to lately.
First, tonight my wife and I donated artwork to a great cause. We donated to the Music for the Arts Benefit that is held in our hometown. You can read all about the night here.
I also had the honor of being part of the Megaman Boss Battle Tribute which is happening currently online and in March in San Francisco at Gauntlet Gallery.
There are a ton of awesome artists involved in the show (including Ashley Davis who is one of my favorites). You can check out the Megaman Boss Battle here.
Here is my piece from the show, Copy X from the Megaman Zero series.
I decided to take Copy X in a direction that I didn’t think everyone would expect. I think all in all it turned out pretty awesome.
I have also been working with a super awesome company who we all know and love who rents out movies. Its just in the planning stages and kind of supposed to be kept under wraps but I can’t wait till the project comes to completion so that I can share the end result.

I love this movie, it’s getting close to Halloween and I have already watched this movie 3 times this year. I decided to make a poster for the movie so here it is:

This week over @ Illustration Friday the topic was Refresh. This was the first time I saved an illustration as a .PNG which allows me to keep the transparency. You can’t tell too much because my websites background is white, but the border around the image is transparent. This guy is having a great time drinking out in the ocean in his inner tube, he had a hard week and he felt it was time to refresh… but we all know what happens when you drink and tube…

I also used this post as an excuse to repost one of my favorite illustrations that I made last year. I noticed that the was quite a similarity between this one and the one I created today.
Anyway…hope you enjoy!

This weeks topic over at Illustration Friday was Faded. It works out well because I just finished up an illustration for an article about Facebook and how it is slowly dying. On top of that I feel like the public’s faith in banks and the stock market continues to fade. At a time like this things like what Mark Zuckerberg pulled are not helping public opinion at all.

This weeks Illustration Friday topic was “Sight”, I had an old book cover laying around so I made this with acrylic and markers. For this one you really have to click on it to see it correctly. It is really tiny on this page otherwise.
Hope you like!
