This picture right here, actually really just blows my friggin mind.  It's the way the colors on the toy soldier blend with the rocks, the shadow...It's EXTREMLY visually pleasing plus it speaks.  It's Brilliant, truly!!!  You SHOULD be really proud of that one.  I wish I had taken it.

It's my newest inking, and it is for sale on my website.

I finally got around to adding Pay Pal's secured Buy-It-Now buttons to my website. This is long overdue, and will be awesome for me, because now customers won't have to e-mail me when they want to purchase my awesome remarqued Okonokos prints, anymore.

Very cool Brad...what was the inspiration for this piece?

(serious question!)

Very Todd Parr-esque.  My 4 year-old loves drawing from Todd Parr books, she calls it "drawing Todd faces".  She's getting really good.  Love it.

thanks! :)

I'm a vivid dreamer... The illustration is straight out of the sketchpad I keep on my bedstand. I used to just call it my book of nightmares, but this one in particular wasn't necessarily a bad dream... it was just creepy.

He was elderly, wrinkled, pale. He had hair like Moses, with a huge white beard. He was toothless, except for a pair of canines on his lower jaw - with the beard, the fangs jutted out gave him an odd resemblance to a Lion.

He had a bright, glowing eye, so when he squinted, light peaked through and shone like a beam from a lighthouse...

Wow, I love the story.  I think it's the best MMJ related piece you've done.  It would make a nice album cover.

Dali had some amazing stuff. I've never studied his work fully, though, so I'm just being honest when I say I'm only familiar with his most popular stuff... One thing I do love about his surrealism is the way he takes horses and elephants and extends the legs...



I love letting brush strokes go way, way out of line and abstract, so this is an idea that I'm sure I will borrow and make my own, someday.

Hopefully very soon I will have a new piece to show off. I have been wanting to record a zeppelin from one of my dreams... Zeppelins are a reoccurring object in my dreams, and I have a few really good rough sketches in my head... I just haven't had the time to actually sit down and jot it down on art board. Actually, I've been wanting to airbrush this. My last airbrush project took over a year to complete, so I'm reluctant to start something that may take that long to set aside and say "it's finished"....

really gorgeous work!

Another new ink sketch. I was doing some studies of early American wartime aviators, and for whatever reason liked the way this one turned out... See for yourselves! (click for enlarged picture)
