AUTUMN SOCIETY + MARS SOCIETY = EXPLORING MARS COLORING BOOK

Cover by Bobby O'herlihy

The Autumn Society and The Mars Society (affiliated with NASA) have joined forces to present "Exploring Mars," a children's coloring book featuring our neighbor planet & possible future home MARS.

Shown above is the vivid cover Illustration of the book by the super talented, Bobby O'herlihy (cynicwithapencil.blogspot.com). Along with this being the book's cover, prints of this will also be available soon.

Inside the book are interactive & fun coloring book Illustrations by Autumn Society members and their different views of humans exploring and Terraforming Mars.

With this book, we hope to inspire a new generation of children to reach higher for the heavens and bring a new frontier of space exploration starting with Mars!

Needless to say, we are very proud of this project and with the collaboration of the Autumn Society, Dr. Robert Zubrin, and his team, the Mars Society.

More details coming soon....

The Art of Adventure Time - Part 1

Making a cartoon is a lot of work and involves many different processes. From storyboards, character/background/prop/effects design, inking (clean up), coloring, to many other important tasks. Its all broken down scene by scene and episode by episode.

This applies to most cartoons, including the one I'm working on at Cartoon Network Studios called Adventure Time. A lot of this process is nicely documented and shown on the Adventure Time Blog over at Frederator. Take a look by clicking the image below:


"Ghostshrimp and Santino Lascano are the show’s background designers, Martin Ansolabehere and Sandra Calleros handle the painting. Nick Jennings is the art director, while Pat McHale is the creative director"

It's Hammer Time!

Hi all! I just joined this fine community of artists thanks to mr.Chogrin's invitation. My name is Dragan Kovacevic, but I'm better known under my artistic pseudonym Hammerson. I'm a cartoonist, comics artist and illustrator from Croatia. In the recent months, I've also been involved with filmmaking, and currently I'm working on a whole low-budget (or better say no-budget) feature together with a friend.

Here are some examples of my artwork:

For a complete portfolio, visit my blog HammersonLand. It's been regularly updated for nearly three years, and there's plenty of interesting material to explore.

New Stuff For You!

(UPDATE!: I decided to crop in on advice from Mr. Stabwell, to get rid of all that boring negative space. I think it turns out a stronger image.)
Decided to try my hand at Dr.Claw for the 80's jawn, because who doesn't love Dr. Claw? WHO I ASK?! Annnnd there is also that silly self portrait of me in a weird getup....not quite finished yet, think of it as a sneak peek. Enjoy!

From the dusty archives

I did this for the Philly Cartoonist Society music show, and i never really showed it off. I had mixed feelings about it composition wise, color palette wise, and every other concern an illustrator can have about his own work. Something i did like was all the silly little characters and jokes inside. I was trying to riff off of THE GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS by Bosch, (what was i thinking?) but inject it with weird cartoon-isms and jokes. The right panel in Bosch's garden depicting hell had a lot of music related things in it, which is why i chose it for the music show. Not sure why, but i thought i would share. Enjoy!
