Editorial illustration, comic book art, graphic design, the back of a photocopied piece of paper, a bar napkin, whatever... I'm pretty much always drawing. And if I'm not, I'm thinking about what I should draw later.

Professionally I have a few editorial illustrations under my belt, and I have penciled (and on occasion inked) several comic books for companies like Moonstone Books, Markosia and Speakeasy. Including:

MOONSTONE
Lai Wan #1 - pencils
Airboy and the Air Fighters - pencils and inks on the Airboy chapters

MARKOSIA
Smoke & Mirror (vol.1 no. 5) - pencils
Project Eon (issues 2 &3) - pencils

Current Residence: Illinois
Operating System: Mac

Soooo much catching up to do.

It's been a hectic few months at McGone International HQ*. I finally got married (yay) and have been dealing with a few persistent, odd health issues (boo hiss), so my deviantArt time has been less and less. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things (I really threw off my art momentum), and I'm looking at a stockpile of great artwork from my Watches.

And a lot of Faves. I really try to keep up with personally thanking all my faves, but that doesn't always happen. "Too many Faves to keep up with" is a good problem to have, but I want everyone who stops by and comments or faves or adds me to their Watch to know I appreciate it. dA is a great art community.

So, thanks to all reading this or stopping by. Let's get back to the art.
-Shawn

Can I just tell you, how much I adore your art. I am absolutely in awe of how much strength you give these women, when you draw them. Even in an almost pinup style they don't seem overly sexualized and very confident. You are incredibly talented, all the best to you!

And I'd like to tell you just how much I appreciate your comment. I'm glad that my art connects with you, and in exactly the manner I intend when I set out creating it. There's a fine line between sincere and gratuitous when working in this style, I suppose. But I always try to remember my respect for the characters when drawing them. Thanks, Natasha.

You are very welcome! Few people can properly combine classy, sexy and badass when depicting comicbook women, and you do awesomely well! Cheers!
