some experiments

I'm back in boston for a while, and have access to a scanner. Its been a little while since I was last here, and I'm liking it. I've been doing a bunch of experimenting lately, just trying stuff with the different medias. One of these days I'll get my website up... stay tuned!!!

studio

here are some more shots of what I've been doing around the studio. Sorry for the quality, I have yet to find a scanner.

it is frigid up here right now in maine. We had the first day of snow today, which is cool, but also sucky.

Around the Studio

I've been working in the studio up here in the ME the a while. it is my father's, Gene Koch, who is a painter, so its a pretty nice set up. I've carved out a corner in the studio where I do my thing. Here are some pics of what I've been working on.

black watercolor

a buddy of mine told me about using black watercolor to create tone. it works really well I think. Also, I don't have enough money to buy more colors...

watercolor piece

Another watercolor piece about elves and a worm. I like the colors in this one, and its pretty cool the affect that level manipulation(in photoshop) has on the watercolors. I have a "one" underneath because I was thinking maybe this could be the beginning of a story, but it would take me forever to make a comic where every page involved this much time. Still though...

watercolor

I've been goofing around with some watercolor recently. I hate it on it's own, but mixed with line work it has a really nice effect.

yes... more elves. I think I have a problem...
