Alex M. Alderete Creature Concept Art
I'm including all of my recent creature concept art that are part of a my Concept Art portfolio. This'll be applied to film/fantasy/video game work. Studying from Mike Butkus and Allen Williams have really improved my illustration skills. Especially transitioning from a fine art background these artist are giving me a great education with every piece they create. Right now I freelance for film, clothing/skateboard companies and it seems everything in between.
My first four pieces are pages from the fantastic new dark children's book GRAVEDIGGER written my David McWane with amazing musician Liz Lysinger composing the score. This is the greatest project I've worked on and I can't wait for the world to see it!

New Job, Comic Artist!
Well who said there was no money in comics...I said that because no one was paying. It was all "lets do this project and we'll enter it into this contest" or "this is a passion project of mine and lets do something great!" No thanks, my landlord doesn't accept hugs for payment and neither does Sallie Mae.
So I was approached by Shot in the Dark Comics via facebook and through a month of deliberations I accepted their offer. To start of with I'll be working on a graphic novel, Southbound Redemption. It's a true life story about a guy that grows up in a crime syndicate in South Boston. It's in the style between Sin City and Boondock Saints. And me living about 15 minutes from South Boston I'll have alot of source material to draw from, literally.
Well I guess I'll be making the rounds at the conventions now. I'm just glad to be a step closer to providing for my family with my art. That is the most important thing. Thanks again and go to http://www.alexalderete.com/ to donate and keep steamship a chuggin' along, thanks!

Heavy Metal Magazine and AGENT 88!
So here we have my latest project, AGENT 88 a crazy new web series. I'll let the site describe it, "Agent 88 is extreme comic book style cinematic romp full of martial arts action, killer special effects and unforgettable characters.
Throughout recorded history spies, secret agents and assassins have engaged in subterfuge, violence and murder to shape the desired course of mankind for their masters. This deadly craft continues even today, and remarkably, one of its most lethal participants is not a member of the Yakuza, Massad, or the Colombian Drug Cartel, but an 88-year-old British woman currently living the quiet life in Los Angeles.
She may suffer from the occasional bout of forgetfulness, and hasn’t updated her wardrobe since the late 1970’s, but underestimate her at your own peril. Agent 88 may appear to be a decrepit old lady, but in reality she is a highly skilled warrior assassin."
In solidarity for the AGENT 88 project Heavy Metal Magazine has agreed to publish its very first Kickstarter exclusive book. “HEAVY METAL Presents:The ART of 88″ will feature 88 world renowned artists including Simon Bisley (LOBO, DREDD), Kevin Eastman (TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, HEAVY METAL), David Mack (KABUKI, DAREDEVIL) and Jim Mahfood (SPIDERMAN, Kevin Smith’s CLERKS). Sponsorship for the campaign also comes from Diamond Select Toys with limited edition MINIMATES, the highly collectible designer toy-line created by Digger himself and currently celebrating its 10-year anniversary.
This project is still trying to raise $$ so please check out these links below. Thanks again!

The Truth!
I don't know what it is, I just like Paul Pierce as a player and a player. So must Danny Ainge because Pierce is the captain of the Celtics. And when they destroyed the Lakers in the finals I thought this guy really deserves that championship after carrying the team for so many years having to play with sub par players.
With each painting I'm getting a little more confident and looser with the technique letting accidents seep in or should I say letting accident stay. I want this new work to look alot more passionate it's still a bit reserved, I'm looking for alot more movement and electricity, soon enough. Again this is for sale and I do take commissions whether it be your favorite icon, family portrait, or anything in between.
