Hey everyone, I just wanted to update my blog by posting this. I've been basically working on book covers and book illustrations for the past year or so. I've also designed a few logos over the past year and a few things here and there. I had a book launch for my own children's book called "Follow the Bouncing Ball"which is available on Amazon.com. But, I do have a few other projects that are on the "back burner" and is ready to be moved forward.

So, I want to post a book that I illustrated the interior as well as the cover.

Allie Miszewski is a young adult author who wrote this story about the special moments in her life with her Dad. She hopes that many Dads and daughters after reading the book will share a piece of peanut butter toast and build some lasting memories.

This book is available at www.peakcitypublishing.com Once there you can find an assortment of quality books.... like "Follow the Bouncing Ball" ;)  All Peak City Publishing books are also available at www.amazon.com

Even Through the Darkest Days, this Fire Burns...

Hello all, I have to admit it's been a while.................. With that being acknowledged, lets move on.

So, today I want to talk about "Passion".  Passion is a word from the Ancient Greek verb πάσχω (paskho) meaning to suffer. It is a term applied to a very strong feeling about a person or thing. Passion is an intense emotion compelling feeling, enthusiasm, or desire for something.

As an artist this is something that is very relevant to me. I am passionate about my art. I am passionate about creating. It is something that can't be taught or learned. You can't fake it, you can't turn it off, no matter how much you may want to. It is like a fire that burns inside of you. It's something that is inside of you that pulls you towards that "thing". My "thing" is art, creativity, or being creative.

These past few weeks for me have been a bit hard for my family and I. Let me rephrase that, it's been more of a struggle. But we are and have been on the same page and are continuing to move forward. "If there is no struggle, there is no progress." (Frederick Douglass) I'm saying this, to show that everyone goes through hardships and struggles. But for me, I found that even through all of that my fire continued to burn.

Over the years I've been through different things. I've lost people close to me. I've had illness in my body. I've had financial difficulties, etc. But the one thing that has been consistent and a constant in my life is that I've always been passionate about my work. I've always known who I was and what I was meant to do. Sometimes it feels like it's a curse. It feels like it gets in the way of me doing other things. But, I always come back to it.

So, I say all of that to say this... I'm back focused, I'm back motivated and I'm back passionate.

On a much, much brighter note. Although I've been speaking about other artist and creators in my past blogs. I want to showcase them more, give more detail. So, first up I'll tell you about a guy I've been working with named Mark Lawton Thomas. Mark is the writer for a book tittled, "When Farts Had Colors". 

Yes, that is the name and yes, that is what the book is about, the tittle says it all. To give a brief summary, the book is about this kid named Lance Chance. Lance is a good kid who gets bullied by this mean girl named Merry and her sidekicks Fred and Ted. So anyway, they set Lance up to take the blame for a farting in the classroom. Lance later wishes farts had colors so people would know who laid the proverbial egg. It is a great book that addresses bulling in a comical manner.

The link to the site is here  http://www.whenfartshadcolors.com/ You can go order today and be the first on your block to know what would happen if farts had colors.

That about sums up this entry. I will leave with the next few pages to Code Name: Gear (for those of you who are following)  here you go...

There you have it, more with Gear next time. See what happens next!

"When Farts Had Colors" is also available at www.peakcitypublishing.com Once there you can find an assortment of quality books ;)

A Few Random Thoughts

Ok, I just want to talk about a couple of things on this blog. Nothing to heavy just a few things on my mind.

First, lets talk about the "My Tiger Productions" (MTP) My Tiger Productions is something I put together in place of Eason Entertainment. Now, Eason Entertainment is still around, nothing has happened to it. The only thing is the name may change. I'm thinking of  E Square or something like that. Here's the reason why.

A few weeks ago I did a "Google" search of Eason Entertainment and about 5 different companies popped up. A couple of them had the same name, Eason Entertainment. So, I wanted to change my name to something a little more unique. To do so, I went back to my kindergarten days, when I first realized that I have a gift.

I was in class and the teacher wanted everyone to draw. I just sat there and raised my hand I told the teacher I didn't know what to draw. She told me to just look around the class room and draw anything. So, I looked around and along the border of the wall there were cartoon pictures of different animals. I was immediately drawn (no pun intended) to a tiger, so I drew it. My teacher put all of the drawings outside of the class room and back then we would have art contest for each class. The Principal was the judge. But when he got to our class and my drawing, he told the teacher that she couldn't enter the contest it was for the kids. She told him that one of her students drew the tiger and told him my name. I was then called to the Principal's office, I thought I was in trouble and thought to myself that I will never draw again. But, he wanted me to draw the tiger in front of him so he could see for himself. Then he would go get someone else and have me draw it all over.

Later I went home and told my mother about my day. I asked her why was it such a big deal that I drew that tiger? Why was everyone acting the way they were acting? She told me, that not everyone could draw. "You can do something that a lot of people can't do." Now, I've been drawing since I was 3years old. (My mother kept some of the drawings) But, I never thought anything of it. It was something that I did, it was like walking, talking, drawing. So, when she said that to me, I was a little confused and excited. I had been blessed with a gift and blessed to know what that gift was at such an early age. I knew then that I wanted to draw for a living. When someone asked what do you want to be  when you grow up. I would say, a famous artist, without hesitation.

So, I found my original drawing, one with and one without color. (I wasn't the best at coloring back then) Since I finished my children's book I figured that I will be producing more children books and the production company I created for that is MTP  (My Tiger Productions).

Now, I've changed the Tiger a little from the original to make it 100% original and not something that was copied by a five year old. I tried to make it into something a little more marketable and simple. I feel that I've come full circle with "My Tiger". I look forward to putting the logo on the book and taking it to my old school and telling the kids about my story.

One other thing, I wanted to touch on. I received a gift from a fellow artist a couple of weeks ago. His name is Joe Romero www.averagejoeart.blogspot.com  Joe was having something kind of like a trivia game on twitter and I won. So, he completed his drawing and added a little personalized dialogue for me. You can follow Joe Romero on twitter www.twitter.com/@AverageJoeArt

The Cutting Room Floor

Hello, DMEason here and on this entry I am going to talk a little about artwork that didn't quite make the cut. Artwork that I've worked  on or created or was commissioned to work on but, came up short. Maybe the project ended. Maybe it wasn't good enough or exactly what the client wanted. Maybe it is a piece of artwork that I worked on and I changed my mind on the look. Or, just maybe it is something I worked on years ago that has never seen the light of day. This should be fun.

As an artist I feel that my creations as well as my overall artwork are like pieces of me. We put so much thought and time into projects. I take pride in the work that I do because it represents me and my name. But not all works are able to be used. As an artist you have to also have "thick skin". Because not everything is going to be a home run. 

With that being said, sometimes it's still hard to see something that you've worked on, just fall by the wayside.

Or to be left on the "Cutting Room floor."


First up is a design I did for a Pro Wrestling Tag Team known as "Generation Me" or "Gen Me". Now, for those of you that know me. I am a huge wrestling fan, so when I had an opportunity to design this I jumped at it. Unfortunately, before they could use my design, they left the company that they was working for and changed there name.

 Update, I did contact them and I did work on another design. But, big things are happening for them right now. So, let see if the new designs make an appearance in the future.


Alright, this next piece is a sculpture that I did for a client. We were going to do a special collector line of them. Maybe a series of each one of his characters for special events like conventions or contest. But, things didn't work out the way we both wanted so this is a 1 of 1 design.

This is a design of my version of one of my friends creations. He has a comic book called The Brood (available at www.sinistercomicstudios.com) Anyway, I've always liked this character and I just did a drawing of him and put some color to it. I'm not sure if it will ever make it to any kind of publication so I just thought I would share it here.

Now, I can go on and on, but I won't. But, I will show my first animation that is based on my original character "Man Muth". This is my 2min demo reel that was done way back in 1997! The technology was new, back then. This was cutting edge stuff! Well, that's what I thought back then. So, without further ado. I give you my first animation.....enjoy.

Update, Man Muth is a project that will make it's way back to the fore front. So, be on the look out for what's to come next.

Here are some honorable mentions..

Six Years in the Making

Hello, today I wanted to post a quick blog entry. I have some what of a work load in front of me. Like I always say, "My plate is full but, I'm still hungry."

I just wanted to fill everyone in on what's been going on with D.M.Eason. This week I finished my children's book. It is a book I wrote about 6 years ago for my son. He at the time was about six months old. While reading a book to him I had the same feeling I had when I got inspired to write  screenplays. I felt as if it was something that I could do and do well. So, I took a shot at it and tweaked it and worked it, until it was the children's book I wanted. Once I finished writing it, I put it on the "back burner" until I finished some other things.

One thing lead to another and before you know it, years pass. So, here I am, I finished the illustrations, inks, colors, lettering and cover. (Finished!) I feel great about it also. I have a number of directions I can take this finished project. So, stay tuned for more info. on where you can see it and or purchase it. But, for now the cherry on top was sitting back and watching my son, who is now 6yrs old, read my book. He sat on my lap, looked at my laptop and read the book to me. That was an Awesome feeling! I really can't say the words that would describe exactly how that feels for me. All I can say is that it was awesome.

Anyway, I can't post a blog without pictures. Although, I can't show you all my children's book right now. I will show you some artwork I've done for other books. Illustrations that I've done for Peak City Publishing www.peakcitypublishing.com  An independent publishing company who's goal is to make their books an experience.  So here you go:
