Dinosaurs Fucking Robots!!!

CLOSE YOUR EYES KIDDIES!!!

That's Right!!! I've lowered myself one more step into human sludge by creating another obscene illustration. Damn me and the sick sense of humor that I have.

Inspirational quote by: Myla Kabat-Zinn

When I was sent a link to Dinosaurs Fucking Robots I knew that I had to submit an illustration. I don't remember having the intention to make it as elaborate and work so hard on it. BUT... I'm happy with what I came up with. Not exactly the best for a portfolio, but worth the effort to get more digital painting experience.
Thanks to Team Tiger Awesome for creating this brilliantly funny blog and allowing my submission to reach the eyes of the people.

Notes about the piece: I originally drew this with pencil on paper at roughly 8.5" x 11", then I scanned it at 300 dpi and colored it using a number of layers in Adobe's Photoshop 6.5 (I work oldschool. That's what the poor folk do.) with a WACOM tablet.

30 in Thirty Full Color Book Available!!

NOW FOR SALE!!!

Marc Palm's 30 in Thirty!!

My latest full color art book. This one is a collection of 30 paintings that I did in 30 days as a challenge for the Blank Space Gallery here in Seattle. The 30+ paintings and illustrations of monsters and other creatures here in this book are full sized reproductions of the original paintings. The book itself is full color, 70 pages perfect bound, and measures 8.5" x 11".

Ever since the completion of the paintings I wanted to make a catalogue of the whole set of paintings. All based of off creatures that I created originally for my daily comic (Lair of the Psychic Creature) I planned all thirty paintings to be seen together. And... since half of the original paintings have been sold, they'll NEVER be seen together EVER AGAIN! So catch them while you can here in this paperback collection.

I would like to think these colorful acrylic paintings should entertain anyone with a childlike appreciation of creatures and monsters as well as children.

Let Me Draw My Stuff For You!!

Alien Portrait 01 - pencil on brown paper 2009

So to kick off the new direction of my Blog I'm posting this drawing. Which will be the first of many original drawings that I'm going to offer for sale. Mainly these will be for sale via Etsy.com but feel free to contact me directly. Some direct contact might lead to a better deal for you. Also if you're interested in some previously posted work ask as specificly about it as you can.

I'm open for commissions as well. So feel free to throw an idea and an offer my way. I'll get back to you with my decision and questions about the specifics. You can get an idea of what I'm able to do by looking through this site or my flickr.com sets.

Thanks
