Here is the first penciled page for a new comic I'm working on called Children of the Sacred Tree, by David Paul. This work is a departure from my more cartoony style, and entering into a more realistic, design oriented, realm, like with some of my paintings. I also plan to digitally color these pages, like I did with my psychedelic posters.
I was going through some old photos and found these past commissions I had done. So, here they are. Note: The word dream has been misspelled on purpose, as it was a sample piece, made to get a job, rather than for a job. This way, the prospective client couldn't use it without paying me.
Here's a step by step look at a Rock 'n' Roll poster I just did for my pal Cody LePow and his band Little Buffalo and the Mustangs. Click here to check out their music.

Here's a work in progress from beginning to end of a piece I call, "What's Your Hairstyle?" It's for a hairdresser friend of mine, of course, but more importantly, it's my first real attempt at teaching myself to color in Photoshop. Sure I've done it before, but not with the intent of doing anything impressive. During my latest trip to Comic Con, I was privileged to talk to comic book colorists John Higgins (Watchmen) and Sally Hurst. I found them to be lovely people and equally inspiring. They made me want to learn to be a colorist, in short. I know I've got a long to go, but I'm quite pleased with my first attempt.

Christopher has just finished painting a cover for the latest issue of Deposit Man. This image is representative of the story, which is about a showdown between Josephine Baker (with dreadlocks) and Henry Miller, in the afterlife.

IN DEPOSIT MAN: PLAYGOD ACT I – The Deposit Man has sworn off any allegiance towards God in protest after a eviction case goes sour results in a severe case of CLONE OUTSOURCING. However, the mishandling of last issue’s case with a crazed Hollywood scripter wanna-be turned out to be member of a species of FLUXERS – souls that have not made their mind up on whether they want to live or die could result in dire entropic consequences if an aborted movie script that God has written has fallen into mysterious, yet familiar enemy hands is not recovered. Now the Deposit Man without a care in the nether-world wanders the afterlife as an independent contractor, taking on any case that will pay the bills.
