Here’s a piece I did late summer/fall for the release of BLAZBLUE Continuum Shift, my apologies as I finally got around to posting this now!

SFII 0 DOUBLE SPLASH

I completed this several years ago as a cover for the relaunch of the Street Fighter 2 series. Since then it has been repeatedly reproduced as posters being sold nationwide. Probably one of the pieces I am most proud of during my career!

SFI 3 COVER

Here’s another oldie but goodie. I know i promised nothing but fresh foods but this one still makes me tingle. It’s my first ever Street Fighter Cover! It’s the Cover to issue 3 of the first story-arc that i did with DOE way back in 2002 or something like that. Brings back memories!

SFII 6 COVER (GOOD VS. EVIL)

Here was my final Cover to the SFII series! It’s really not the most awesome layout ever, but it’s definitely cooler seeing this together as one. It was split in the middle, illustrating Ryu’s Dark Hadu side of himself and his constant internal struggles with good and evil.
Pencils and Inks by me, Colors by Espen.

STREET FIGHTER – STREET JAM

Here’s an oldie but goodie, it’s the street jam poster from 2004, which consists of five covers pieced together from Issues 10-12 of SFI comicbook series. This was colored by Arnold Tsang and DOE. This image has since been used for the NUBY arcade stick, countless wall posters and the backdrop for SFII Turbo HD Remix for the XBOX 360.

X-MEN: AGE OF APOCALYPSE

This is a double splash image taken from my stint on Marvel’s X-men: Age of Apocalypse. This was an awesome experience for me as I got to draw in homage to one of my favorite artists who has had an huge impact on my artwork, the one and only Joe Maduriera! Not to mention I also got to work with legendary writer, Jeff Loeb.
