New Splatter Art...

Ya, ya, its been a heck of a while since I've posted anything. Actually its been a LONG time since Ive actually drawn anything. My life has been turned upside down and everything I've known and loved for the past 6 years has exploded into a million little pieces and Im having to pick them up individually. Thus, has caused a very abrupt stop in the production of any new artwork.

For those that I owe work, Im sorry for the delay. Please bare with me for I am beginning to get back on track again. Below is a new piece in black/white for Splatter Cinema's January movie: ICHI: THE KILLER

ENJOY>

Heres some new art...

Thoughts?

Im on Facebook...

ya, so go stalk me...

New Splatter Poster...

So this one's a little late, but I think the quality and time I worked on it DEF. makes up for it in the end.

Before anyone goes off on why the hell I'd give this psycho killer green eyes, it's b/c of that statement alone. He's a psycho killer. I wanted to give Leatherface this sorta child-like innocences under the mask. I figured it'd also come off kinda ironic too. Here's this crazy guy going around killing people with a chainsaw and the last thing they see before getting hacked to pieces are these two peircing green eyes staring at them.

This also marks my first FULL attempt at coloring a finished drawing using the wacom pad. I think all and all things came out very nicely. Let me hear your thoughts on this one... -jasn

Playing with a Wacom pad...

A good friend lent me his old wacom pad to see if I'd like it. Heres the results of my first attempt using it... Enjoy.

R.I.P. - Patrick Swayze

You'll always live forever...

Drained...

So I've been going through a lot of emotionally draining things recently in my personal life that has thrown my art outta loop.

The good news is that the next story arc for Emery Falls is in the works and will be illustrated by a good buddy of mine, NATHAN MORRIS. I've already written the script and will be doing the cover to the book. While he's hard at work on that story, I'll be working on the third arc which will be another just as crazy ride as the first one. Let's just say there'll be a night club and two lesbian spider-monster chicks involved...

I'll post the cover to the second story arc soon. Until then - jasn

The Strange Tales of Emery Falls – Review




Issue: The Strange Tales of Emery Falls
Writer/Illustrator: Jason Flowers
Letters/Logo: Nathan Morris
Publisher: Black Thumb Press
Release Date: 2009
Pages: 32
Price: $5.00

“The Strange Tales Of Emery Falls is a story that chronicles the adventures of Emery Falls as she faces all sorts of crazy situations and evils. In this twisted tale are heroine is on a mission to get back a kidnapped unicorn from a mistrusting group of drug dealing werewolves.“

Artwork: 3.7 out of 5
What a strong solid effort on the artwork in this issue. I felt every panel was nice and crisp. I think that at times the shades of gray started to get jumbled but as a while it worked very well. The characters remained the same from panel to panel and some really stood out to me. The cover image alone is my favorite and I can see why it was chosen. Very cool work.

Story: 3.6 out of 5
Okay now there are two sides to this part of the review. Basing it on the story that was presented it was very solid. From start to finish the dialogue was clear and it kept my attention. Moved at a faster pace but it was an action issue so all is good. My gripe is that I have no idea who these characters are. For a first issue I was left in the dark on them. Now I’m cool with what went on but I would have maybe liked a page of back story at the beginning just so I know whats going on.

Dying Breath: 3.7 out of 5
This is a good first issue. While I had my gripe with no back story, what was presented to me held my attention and made me want to know more. The artwork was very cool and I think that there is easily something here to jump on board with. Some minor rough edges can be touched on but overall the creative team has my full support. Very cool start guys.

New Interview...

A good buddy of mine has a website dedicated to underground artists. Go check it out: www.84area.com/blog

Making Sweet art with Jason Flowers
“I’m an artist. I draw comics. My goal is to one day do nothing BUT draw comics. Until then, I have a day job that I really love. I’m a father, which I really love too. I pull my artistic influences not only from art, but from my love of movies – specifically horror/scifi. I’m easily drawn into the dark, eerie, strange, but beautiful side of things.”- Jason Flowers

How you doing today?
I’m doing well. Thanx for having me.

What motivates you to pick up the pen? And Why?
Good question. I sometimes ask myself that same question. It just depends on the day really. One day it might be me telling myself to get off my lazy ass and pick up the pencil. Other days it might be me realizing that I want to do this full time one day and support my child with no worries. And sometimes the BEST way to motivate me is when I go to the book store and just sit for an hour or two reading graphic novels. For some reason doing that always pumps me up and inspires me.

What first got you into doing art?
Nothing specifically, I’ve always been drawing since I was a little guy.
What got you into drawing comics?What got me started in drawing comics was the day this one boy from daycare brought in a stack of X-men and Wolverine comics. I knew from that moment on I wanted to draw comic books for the rest of my life.

Do your surroundings influence your art? How so?
Sometimes. Truly depends on where I’m at… If I’m at home drawing I usually have a huge supply of comic book reference in long boxes sitting behind me. I’m a HUGE collector of classic and cheezey horror movies so I have a giant shelf of those that I’ll usually pop in as something to watch in the background while I draw. My art is very dark so watching horror movies helps inspire me to do more. If I’m at my day job and on my break or drawing before I start my shift, I’ll usually listen to my mp3 player so I don’t deal with people trying to talk to me while I work.

What is your concentration of art?
Again horror movies and comics are my life, so I concentrate mainly on making fun scary or gorey horror comic books. Usually the kinda of movies I love to watch, I try to twist and make into my own ideas in comic books.

Are there any new projects that you are interested in starting? Or is there something new that you are working on?
Well, I just got finished printing my latest comic, The Strange Tales of Emery Falls, which is this insanely crazy comic book about this character named Emery Falls that fights all sorts of evil of the night. Whether its drug dealing werewolves that have stolen a magical unicorn that she’s trying to get back, assassin vampires for hire that are trying to take her out before she can kill them or lesbian spider creature chicks that she’s trying to kill as they stalk their prey in a night club.This comic book, RIPPED, I worked on with comic writer Jay Busbee for Arcana Comics will be getting printed soon and should be in comic stores everywhere by early next year. Plus the book was picked up from this studio called ROMARK FILMS to be made into a feature film.I’m also currently working on a new graphic novel with comic writer Bobby Nash, entitled: Bloody Olde Englund. An idea I’ve had sitting around for a while that Bobby put to script. It’s the story of a new sheriff in this town called, Bear Creek that is not only greeted by the town folk, but by the werewolves that are living in the mountains!I’m doing that book while also working on the poster pieces for Atlanta’s very own, SPLATTER CINEMA. Which is a show held at the Plaza Theater on Ponce de Leon Ave. every second Tuesday of each month where they show a classic horror movie and put together a little scene from the movie in the hall of the theater where you can get your picture taken.

If you could do a collaboration with any of Atlanta’s artists who would it be? And why?
Oh wow, not really sure. I know I’d like to work with comic artist, Georges Jeanty. He’s currently working on Buffy the vampire slayer for Dark Horse Comics. I love his work and he’s just an incredibly nice guy.

What tips would you give to a new up and coming artist?
Have a thick skin. If you want to get into this business YOU have to make it happen. No one’s going to come knock on your door. Also, pimp your work. Go to comic conventions. Go to comic shops. Make yourself a website. Blog. Myspace. Facebook. Twitter. Whatever you can do to promote your work.

Lastly, is there anything you would like to say/ shout out/ scream out to the people reading this interview?
Thanx for reading and I hope you come visit my work and stick around for the long haul.

Two Different Covers For The Emery Falls Book...

Yep. I decided a few weeks backs that I'll be printing only a total of 35 copies of the EMERY FALLS one-shot for the Atlanta Comic Convention (Aug. 23rd) and for DragonCon (Sept.4-7th). 5ive of the copies will be personally for me and my close family, 20 will consist of the Red Cover ( $5), and the last ten will be limited edition Sketch Covers ( $10). As you can see Ive posted the two, unlettered, above. Enjoy and I hope to see some familiar faces at these two shows... -jasn

P.s. - Ive also posted an exclusive look at the last page of Emery Falls that I'll be showing off before the book comes out over here, the Emery Falls blog page. Go check it out and leave me some feed back. Good or Bad....

New Commission...

So this guy wanted a commission of a creature called a "Reptoid". Kinda like the movie Enemy Mine. Its actually been pretty fun to draw. He wanted the creature on an alien like planet on top of a cliff with two moons behind him and some type of vegitation growing in a valley below. Next up are the colors! Enjoy. -jasn

This one was a lot fun! Baga Yaga! A legendary monster/witch lady! I think the only thing that bothered me was the way the scan did on showing off the tones. The piece is 10 times better in person. Oh well. Enjoy.

Good Things in the works...

Yep, Bobby Nash (friend/writer for Bloody Olde Englund) sent me an email the other day and we've decided to get the ball rolling on finding a publisher for B.O.E. So now the first 15 pages are in the process of being lettered by our good friend/fellow artist James Burns.
Heres a sample of the goodness. Enjoy.
