Need A New Mobile Game?!

If any of yous guys needs a fun new mobile game, check out Baseball Slam. It's a fun, arcade based, home run derby meets pinball, meets casino kinda video game. That sounds like a lot, but I assure you the learning curve is pretty quick and it's proving to be a very addictive game. Unfortunately as of now it's only available for your various iPhone/iPad devices and no word on whether it'll be available on the android marketplace. But, at least it's free, so you got that going for you.

I was lucky enough to have had the opportunity to work on this one for over a year,  doing characters/concepts and even designed the final logo.

Would love for anybody to at least give it a shot...it is free after all!

Tom Sawyer's White Fence

My rendition of one of the more iconic literary scenes in history - Tom Sawyer and that infamous white fence. I've seen some prior illustrations, most notably artists like Norman Rockwell had tried their hand at this scene. I wanted to break the mold and try something completely different, while putting my own spin on it.

Not satisfied with the bottom rendition, I tried a different approach - this time including his whole body and more of the burden to come.

"Life to him seemed hollow, and existence but a burden. Sighing, he dipped his brush and passed it along the topmost plank; repeated the operation; did it again; compared the insignificant whitewashed streak with the far-reaching continent of unwhitewashed fence, and sat down on a tree-box discouraged." - Mark Twain 

Thanks guys!

Website Update!

Hey gang,

I wanted to inform all my visitors of an easier way to view my gallery. I have just created a new website, which will now act as the new "kirksart.com" starting now and in the going forward. This blog will be, just that - a blog. It will still contain all my all my latest nonsense, including, news, sketches and illustrations. I really just needed a fresher alternative to ease the viewing process for all you folks out there.

Thanks guys! And to kick start the new site, here's a little drawing straight outta my sketchbook:

So head-on over to: www.KirksArt.com to give it a hearty welcome!

Thanks!
Kirk

Curiosity

It doesn't matter what you're holding - if you look at the object with interest, the dog will almost always be curious.

BRAAAAAAAAINS...

Who doesn't like a good zombie flick every now and then?!

Some of these faces you might recognize from the Pirates design sheet just down the page. Also wanted to concentrate on some elderly folk. Always fun to draw.
