ULTRAMAN!!!!




Well hello all! I've been EXTREMELY busy, but figured I'd post some sketches I did for a dream project I'm working on.

I'm doing a poster for a company in Asia featuring one of my favorite characters of all time. These are studies I did to explore color, composition and style. The final piece will have Ultra fighting one of his giant monster foes.

Thanks guys! I'm a total dork for Ultraman. You should see my toy collection.

The bridge piece was inspired by the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo bay. It looks really cool at night.

Shannon,

Roy Foster here. How is that for a blast from the past? Remember taking a day off from Saint X to visit Indiana Univ. Bloomington, only to drive up to Indianapolis to go to a place called Keystone At the Crossing so you could pick up a statuette?!

I am a dentist now, still happily in Louisville. Happily married to another dentist, Lisa. We met in school and now have a 4-month old little boy, Grant.

I don't fancy myself as an artist, per se, but I can do some nice work changing peoples' smiles! I also like woodworking; so long as I stay away from the SHARP end of the tools!

If you have the chance to correspond, my e-mail is roydfoster@hotmail.com or our website (still under construction since I am doing it and don't have a clue what I am doing)is www.fostersmiles.com

Hope this finds you well!

Roy

In answer to your question I'm doing great. I missed you at the Kroyers parteeeh the other night . I was hoping you Shane and the Megs would show up.

Me I'm terrific. All done top to bottom . Shockingly boring but terrific.
