Dick Tracy Mr Deco

fun little art piece i did last night. I always love this old style pulp detective, i even miss this type of hero in main stream media. almost like an icon of a bye gone era when heroes didn't wear capes but fedoras and were tough as nails.

America Hell yea!!!!

So just heard the news that we got Osama and he's a gonner. ran to my tablet and had to put down my excitement!!!!!! This is a great moment in US history. we kicked butt!!

such a great day!!!!!

ack ack ack!!!!

little art side project. mini mini one. dunno why but these little guys always made me laugh. I still laugh as im drawing them. such a good character design!

Presenting, Berry Gordy's "The Last Dragon" Movie Poster by Mauro Balcazar

It's with great pleasure and sleepiness that I present my contribution to a piece of Cinematic awesomeness that is "The Last Dragon" movie. Without a doubt a true classic and all time favorite of mine. I lovingly created this homage to the movie in the same style of posters that are used by Mondo and drawn by the awesome Tyler Stout. His art really inspires me and I hope this piece serves an homage to him as well.

I created this poster with the hopes of handing them out at a screening of the Last Dragon I want to plan in a theater ssometime in July for my birthday. I've always wanted an art poster for this film and what better time then for my birthday. I've tried to incorporate all my favorite characters, settings, and tones of the film. I have no plans to print or sell any of these but if there is a demand? It's possible :-).

I hope you all enjoy this poster as much as i had drawing it. now go and GLOW!!!!!!

13 x 19 Prints offered of Matte Prints with Archival Inks on a Pixma 9000.

Last Dragon rough layout before inks etc etc :-)

Haven't updated in a few days but i'm closer then I have been in a while with getting this poster ready for some color/ink. I like the overall tone of it, it's only missing the custom logo placement i have made for it and the border and some extra surprises i need to illustrate. hopefully when its all done people will actually want one for themselves! :-)

More Last Dragon Pencils!!!!! (getting closer!!

Pencils getting a lot tighter and cleaner I think. I've gotten a lot more focus on what my layout is looking like and more faces will be popping up. Im just worried I won't be able to cram everyone I want in there. Here are some more familiar faces from the film! Enjoy :-) !

Update #6 Laura, Leroy and Johnny Yu!!

Penciled away last night. I like keeping the pace on a nightly basis of doing these until i get losts of and lots of em. I really admire Tyler Stout and want to make my own poster in his style as an homage of sorts. I just love the amount of detail he puts in his work. Enjoy! :-)

Leroy!!!!!!! #5..and #6

This one might change. but here's my pencils for Leroy which will be the focus point of the poster. i think i might need a new position/stance to draw up. not easy getting good Taimak ref images for some reason. but here it is :-)



Edit*

decided to try another pose i was able to find. I like it. not sure if i will do one more.

Kiss my Converse!!!!!! update #4

man, I will never get tired of drawing SHo nuff. probably one of my favorite people to draw because of his crazy expressions and ridiculous outfits. man o man i had fun drawing this one. its coming along with these pencils :-)

Eddie Arkadian... last dragon update #3

:-) this guy was always a mess but still fun to draw and watch on screen. here's pencils for the 3rd section of the poster. pencils rough rough rough.

update on Last Dragon poster...Laura Charles/Brother

Penciling away at another section of the poster. This might change but Here's Laura Charles and Leroy's Brother towards the end of the film. dunno, sorta like highlighting the action/danger part of the film. we will see if i end up using it :-)

Beginning my Last Dragon poster

I've contemplated doing this for a very long time now. Berry Gordy's the Last Dragon has always been one of my favorite movies and I've often felt that it never got the awesome poster it deserved. When the film came out, it used a very weird and confusing poster that till this day urks me.

Well hopefully, with a little luck and time, I will be creating my own poster in the vain of the classic kung fu movies of the 70's etc. Here's my first layout piece and the original monstrosity used for the film below.




( I can't tell if this movie takes place in space or a record store) lol.
