Keep A Breast is a non-profit organization that strives to eradicate breast cancer by exposing young people to methods of prevention, early detection and support.

I’ll Chop Your Head Off!

Brynn Metheney — Wed, 09 May 2012 17:02:23 +0000

Early this year I was asked by comic book creator, writer and illustrator Ethan Nicolle if I’d like to collaborate on a cover for Axe Cop: President of the World #2. Um, yes. I was so thrilled to not only work with Ethan but to work on one of my favorite comic books! Dream job. [...]

The Black Dog

Brynn Metheney — Mon, 07 May 2012 16:48:14 +0000

Last year I was commissioned by Fantasy Flight Games to create illustrations for their card game, Call of Cthulhu. I had worked on the IP before and so I was excited to make more work with creepy creatures and such. My favorite card from the set was released last week so I thought I’d show [...]

Doodlies

Brynn Metheney — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 21:52:45 +0000

Sometimes I like to doodle when I drink my tea… As you can see some of the forms are repetitive but this exercise is less about coming up with new forms and more about loosening up. Of course, new forms and ideas do come out as I work across the page. I try [...]

Inspiration Map

Brynn Metheney — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 19:22:24 +0000

I was recently invited to give a talk about my work and my process over at the Dominican University of California. It’s always such a pleasure to get to talk to students about my work and journey thus far. There’s always one question that I tend to freeze up on when asked though, which is: “Which [...]

Brynn Metheney — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 23:37:52 +0000

We lost an incredible man and illustrator on Friday last week. (December 2nd, 2011) Dugald Stermer was one of the best. He was a huge influence on my own work and countless others. From The Morae River: As most of you know, The Morae River project has come to a close this year. The whole [...]

Cats and Bats

Brynn Metheney — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 17:48:55 +0000

About two weeks ago I went to the Mojave Desert to visit family and while I was there I had the privilege of teaching a second-grade class how to draw a couple of animals. Since it was close to Halloween I taught them, step-by-step, how to draw a simple cat and a bat. It was [...]

Torn

Brynn Metheney — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 16:36:53 +0000

Saw these on the stands yesterday in Imagine FX magazine. They were created for issue 75′s Q&A section. Be sure to check them out if you can! This round was particularly challenging but the two creatures feeding on the carcass up top were especially tricky. My goal was to make it look natural – as [...]

Autumn

Brynn Metheney — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 17:51:03 +0000

Finished this up the other day and thought I’d post it here too. It served as a warm up for a few mornings. I tend to forget that I need to take about a half hour to warm up before I start working for the day. Also working on another image that I think I [...]
