Art by Tom Boyle

This week on Tom Boyle’s Name Dropping with Tom Boyle, by Tom Boyle in My DIY Heroes Series, I focus on Artist Carina Lomeli, so it seemed a good tie-in to post some of my art here.

I’ve included parts of two comic books, I had submitted unsuccessfully to the likes of Dark Horse Comics, Fantagraphics Books, DC Vertigo and other companies.  “Perpetual Motion” was about cybernetic beings that protected humanity from spirits that would enter our dreams to manipulate our minds. “Oblivion” follows Aseth, a schitzophrenic catatonic, as he tries to come back from the world of Oblivion.

The paintings and pastel drawings are from my art classes at the State University of New York – Plattsburgh.  I took drawing, painting, sculpture, and print making, 8 classes all together, and half of them were taught by one professor, Rick Mikkelson. So for better or worse, thanks Rick!
