Prepping Work - Early 2025

in , , , , , ,

It's been a while there sports fans, but the kid is back with upcoming news by the end of January of 2025, if you haven't been besieged by the drone invasion of 2024, I will be in another upcoming art show for the Goodfoot Lounge again. This time there will be several new 8"x8" pieces to be shown publicly.

Now honestly, if you have been following any of these postings, and if you haven't you should, because these pieces are great looking and highly detailed.

A part of this show will show some of my previous work on colored mounted prints and some older scratchboard pieces.

There should be the amount of 30 some 8"x8" images and then there are the bigger images like Blast Off! and Target Earth both 18"x24"

Mix of 2025 of the images.

There are prints that I will be offering this time rather than the originals.

The pricing of this will be reflected in this as well.

Been a little while

Hey there, a sports fans, Al here with the latest;

Hey guys, so I just thought I would bring you up to speed there’s been a couple of new developments with some new artwork being produced. It’s been a lot of fun because I’ve been mixing in a lot of traditional comic book illustrations, and stuff such as Sady Starkiss, but I’ve also been mixing in celebrity images to the work.

These images are based on photographs and screen grabs from the Internet, such as Debbie Harry, or Sam Elliott, along with my traditional illustration. It’s looking good.

Just a quick update as I am currently working on more 8”x8” images.

Hey there sports fans, Al here with the latest;

Blue the Bulldog. 16”x20” scratchboard 2023. Alan Bennett

It’s been a little while since I had a chance to post a blog, but I’ve also been working on Photos as well as selling retail shirts a couple of times a week, which is been a really fun time, currently, I have a "Love Machine" print that I need to get printed for a person who had wanted to get the original before the show it was supposed to premiere in.  I’m gonna be talking to Brian in pearl printing next week, specifically this Monday morning, and see if I can also get a set up for a couple of other prints to be made as well. Blue the Bulldog T-shirt and the sticker seem to be selling well but I’m not sure how well a Blue the Bulldog print will work. I’m gonna hold off on that one for right now, my piece of artwork for my friend, Lynnie Peterson called "Equal Opportunity" with Sadie Starkiss, being the hero of the peace instead of being the hapless heroine that she’s been depicted as a while will come to pass. But now leaves me with a quandary. How do I make her more of an action-oriented heroine, along with Heavy Metal any of the other characters? I did throw in a spot as an ode to Johnny Vega with the symbol on her belt, so she may be part of that particular universe to some degree.

16”x12” Scratchboard 2024

But I’ve been having fun working on the commissions, and we have some more commissions, but as it always turns out commissions are a one-time kind of thing lots of people talk about them, but only ever if you ever pay for them. It’s also a problem that I ran into. Is that all run and do an actual image before the people pay for them I’m very just get very excited about working on a new piece of artwork for somebody, but then they always fail as far as payments go. It’s something I need to get a hold of the pieces are good but not regularly in my wheelhouse but we’ll see I’ll just continue to keep working on my space pieces, my heroes, my villains, my robots, and keep cranking piece after piece after piece but I’ll tell you this, though, every single one of them is gonna be fun and.

Less than a week left to go for Half and Half art show!

Hey there, sports fans! Al here with the latest;

Hey, I wanted to let you guys know that the half-and-half show is coming to a close within the next week or so.

A image of the show before opening.

It’s been successful, though no actual artwork was sold, but that wasn’t the point.

The idea was to get the artwork to the public so they could see what I’ve been working on. And the reaction has been fantastic!

With that being said, there are now prints that will be available soon enough, and T-shirts Have already been made based on the image of “Blast Off!” I’m really excited about this because I’m starting to get into the idea of doing posters, prints, and T-shirts again.

T-shirt design based off of “BLAST OFF!” https://www.stickermule.com/u/dff417293639371/item/13258343

I’ve made a few little videos listed here from TikTok and one that is actually a short version from Facebook.

https://www.facebook.com/reel/850885956743417 and just with a little Beastie Boys to add.

Soon, it’ll be time to head back into the show in the limelight again, but before that happens, I will have some other stuff ready to go for that show: the shirts, the prints, it may be an original piece or two.

I’ll have to confirm with my art show partner, Dan Depaolo, to see if he wants to get another table together. Like me, I think he has started to feel the need to get our work back out. There’s so other people can see it, and we work well together selling each other‘s work when the other isn’t there. I will say it’s been fun.

And with that, this kid is out of here, but check out the links for the shirts, and I’ll be making the prints available here soon enough.

Spirng is in the Art

Hey Sports fans, Al here with the latest:

 It has been a very productive week for the kid. There is no doubt in my mind that it has been that, close to finishing off, one piece of art (with varnish) and another about ready to be transferred to scratchboard. 

There is no more tremendous excitement than that other than selling a piece of work to an admiring collector. 

But this has been a week of revisiting Richard Parker. Formatting the book has been on too long a hold until a good friend hit me up and asked when the book would be published.

He was right, and I had procrastinated doing it because, in honesty, I didn't want it to be done. 

I loved working on Richard Parker, and closing that book was hard because he had been a part of my adult life. 

I had found other projects to fill in the space, and they all exceeded my goals as an illustrator. And some are bookends for a series to complete, and others are just for fun. 

Page 1 of “Last Monster on EARTH!”

But there seems to be a tide when a (and you'll have to forgive my language) shit ton of work rolling out simultaneously. "Last Monster on EARTH!" is being colored. "The Watery Adventure of Richard Parker" is being formatted for print, and "the Pasquinade Project" has frames ready for pickup for a future show. It seems overwhelming, but I know I can do it without question. Much of my hesitation has been the fact that funds have been limited because of my living situation and the amount of money funneled into just living expenses. 

RP Layout and Formatting

With a recent change in job position and wage increase, I can crank out work to my liking. I will never be completely free of "issues" until I take that final nap, but knowing what will come up and dealing with it ain't so hard. 

And on top of all of that, I'm having fun!

How can you go wrong with that?

Blog for Sept 6, 2020

Hey there sports fans, Al here with the latest.

Well, last week was a bust for blogs as I am adjusting (re-adjusting?) to being at work again but it is not the same as it once was. I’m now a “hybrid worker” which is a fancy way of saying “we need you, but we are going to need you to do this.”
Now mind I am happy to be at work again when so many of my other workmates have been given their walking papers.
BUT there is a physical drain on the kid (runnin’ at a good 50 plus mind you) does take its toll. So with artwork what once was a quick turnaround in 2 to 3 days now is stretching back into a 6 to 7-day exercise.

This does have benefits while working as fast details can be fleshed out. This rocks as far as I am concerned. Being able to pay attention to small things helps the overall image, balance, and impact on the panel. It sounds more hyperbolic than it is.

But Richard Parker is progressing forward and that makes me happy.

There are separate projects that fill this creative mind such as how would I write a Star Trek story without destroying cannon (not the current iteration of the series under Bad Robot/Secret Hideout). I guess the reason I am focused is that the love I have for the franchise is big and I think the Trek and exploration can still be told with thoughtful engaging stories without having to kill the past (to use another beloved franchise terminology).
As I have responded to others cannon is not a hindrance but a strength on which to build on. Those who say cannon is an issue are not fans but passers-by. “VideoBetties” because everything has to have a label on it.

SO where I was going with this is tentatively titled Star Trek Nomad. The pitch is that science has not precluded artificial intelligence if anything the federation has embraced it. And in the process with that understanding has begun to integrate A.I. into long-range exploratory ships along with human and humanoid life to explore past threads of the great tapestry from trek while forging ahead with its own identity.
A couple of rough ideas have already cropped up.
Why is A.I. always in the form of a humanoid?
What kind of ship?
What are the missions?
What’s the ship’s crew like and how does the ship look? Is it similar to what we have seen before or is it a departure. Does it look good in space shots as it approaches another planet?
I mean there are so many variables to think of.
There are several things of sci-fi that I am looking at and reading and delving into robotics and A.I.
And there I am.

A couple of rough ideas have already cropped up.
Why is A.I. always in the form of a humanoid?
What kind of ship?
What are the missions?
What’s the ship’s crew like and how does the ship look? Is it similar to what we have seen before or is it a departure. Does it look good in space shots as it approaches another planet?

Blog for Sept 6, 2020

Hey there sports fans, Al here with the latest.

Well, last week was a bust for blogs as I am adjusting (re-adjusting?) to being at work again but it is not the same as it once was. I’m now a “hybrid worker” which is a fancy way of saying “we need you, but we are going to need you to do this.”
Now mind I am happy to be at work again when so many of my other workmates have been given their walking papers.
BUT there is a physical drain on the kid (runnin’ at a good 50 plus mind you) does take its toll. So with artwork what once was a quick turnaround in 2 to 3 days now is stretching back into a 6 to 7-day exercise.

This does have benefits while working as fast details can be fleshed out. This rocks as far as I am concerned. Being able to pay attention to small things helps the overall image, balance, and impact on the panel. It sounds more hyperbolic than it is.

But Richard Parker is progressing forward and that makes me happy.

There are separate projects that fill this creative mind such as how would I write a Star Trek story without destroying cannon (not the current iteration of the series under Bad Robot/Secret Hideout). I guess the reason I am focused is that the love I have for the franchise is big and I think the Trek and exploration can still be told with thoughtful engaging stories without having to kill the past (to use another beloved franchise terminology).

But Richard Parker is progressing forward and that makes me happy.

There are separate projects that fill this creative mind such as how would I write a Star Trek story without destroying cannon (not the current iteration of the series under Bad Robot/Secret Hideout). I guess the reason I am focused is that the love I have for the franchise is big and I think the Trek and exploration can still be told with thoughtful engaging stories without having to kill the past (to use another beloved franchise terminology).
As I have responded to others cannon is not a hindrance but a strength on which to build on. Those who say cannon is an issue are not fans but passers-by. “VideoBetties” because everything has to have a label on it.

SO where I was going with this is tentatively titled Star Trek Nomad. The pitch is that science has not precluded artificial intelligence if anything the federation has embraced it. And in the process with that understanding has begun to integrate A.I. into long-range exploratory ships along with human and humanoid life to explore past threads of the great tapestry from trek while forging ahead with its own identity.
A couple of rough ideas have already cropped up.
Why is A.I. always in the form of a humanoid?
What kind of ship?
What are the missions?
What’s the ship’s crew like and how does the ship look? Is it similar to what we have seen before or is it a departure. Does it look good in space shots as it approaches another planet?
I mean there are so many variables to think of.
There are several things of sci-fi that I am looking at and reading and delving into robotics and A.I.
And there I am.

Blog for Sept 6, 2020

Hey there sports fans, Al here with the latest.

Well, last week was a bust for blogs as I am adjusting (re-adjusting?) to being at work again but it is not the same as it once was. I’m now a “hybrid worker” which is a fancy way of saying “we need you, but we are going to need you to do this.”
Now mind I am happy to be at work again when so many of my other workmates have been given their walking papers.
