I'm in front of a wide screen monitor all day with a very nice wacom. Why the hell am i not producing a sketch every day. Cause I'm lazy pants. Gotta put on the drawing pants.

Nightmare sketchbook page 02

This isn't actually the second or even the third image in the book but the fourth. The 2nd and 3rd pages were hitting a little too close to home in that they were images of one of my worst fears and nightmare which is nuclear fallout. Really creepy that I only drew it a month or two ago, and now well...

Nightmare sketchbook page 01

I'm going to be posting a page from the Nightmare sketchbook i did probably once a day along with starting up What the Ffff again, cause I need to inject a bit o energy here on this blog.

It's rough moving coast to coast...almost like starting over, luckily with a laptop a wacom tablet and an internet connection one can work anywhere.

Oh yea and pencil and paper...heh.

I swear to god....

I do draw....sometimes...

First finished sculpture! w00t!!!1

Aw man my sculpture class with Dave Cortes is finished. It was AWESOME! Might be doing some work with him really soon that i'm excited about.



I think I did alright for a first sculpt. Here's some more detail:

It's silly that I don't sculpt more because I love it! I've already started scultping my next practice piece; Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln,) from the live action version of the Walking Dead!

Let's see how I do. Here's where I'm at so far:

Pretty awful at this point....lol. Lots of work to do!

Rejected food network art

This was from a show opening I'm designing. It's going well and I'm pretty psyched that we're doing it in a sort of retro 60's UPA style. What I pitched to them was basically an homage to the Bewitched opening. I think that's why the went for it! WOOT!

Illustration Friday: Prehistoric

My ancestor.

"Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times. It brings together man and the world. It lives through magic." ~ Keith Haring

I love Illustration Friday because it's such a simple fun idea that gets the gears in my head turning. I've missed a bunch but i've been thinking about it for so long. My only complaint is that their site is a little funky to navigate.

New Year is fast approaching...

I'm always sketching, but not nearly enough as I want to, or to grow as much as I'd like. 2011 is going be the year where I post, update, grow, push my online presence and style more than any other time before. This depends entirely on my drawing constantly with no excuses.

Working on a Nightmare themed book for the sketchbook project and I need to get my ass moving on that pronto. Will be posting that as I make 'em.

Heroes

Made for the comics episode on the New York Geekcast.

Rejected Art

Didn't get into Too Art for TV yet again. Oh well. Pretty happy with this piece.

Hoodwinked

Happy Halloween!

Here's an image from my sketchbook that's a part of the Sketchbook Project. Guess what my theme is?

Illustration friday: Immovable

"Modernity is the transient, the fleeting, the contingent; it is one half of art, the other being the eternal and the immovable."

~ Charles Baudelaire

Big bullies need big unibrows.

Illustration Friday: Stargazer

"You taught me the names of the stars overhead that I wrote down in my ledger
Though all I knew of the rote universe were those Pleiades loosed in December
I promised you I'd set them to verse so I'd always remember

That the meteorite is a source of the light
And the meteor's just what we see
And the meteoroid is a stone that's devoid of the fire that propelled it to thee"

~Joanna Newsom, "Emily"

Illustration Friday: Caged

"Much talking is the cause of danger. Silence is the means of avoiding misfortune. The talkative parrot is shut up in a cage. Other birds, without speech, fly freely about." ~ Saskya Pandita

This will also be in my "nightmares" sketchbook for the Sketchbook Project.
