Did not want to work today . . . . I was listening to DANGER and Way Out West. I guess the girl is me, although I used no reference. Used reference in the tiger.

2011-03-24T21:14:00.000-07:00

I HAD SO MUCH FUN DRAWING THIS! SRS.

Backstory:

I was walking passed Civic Center in San Francisco and I saw something not dissimilar to this. I have been thinking about it ever since and felt compelled to draw it!

Referenced the Caramelo!

Hey folks!!

2011-02-15T09:40:00.001-08:00

believe it or not, I've actually been pretty productive! I recently acquired a job at Present Creative, LLC in San Francisco as a digital artist. However, I cannot post any of my work 'cause I signed a non-disclosure form.

BUT. . . Here is cute wedding map I drew in flash for my friend's wedding!!!

Kitchen . . . Pt. 1!!!

2011-01-07T17:00:00.000-08:00

The dogy is my doggy. The kitchen is a mixture of my family's kitchen and my imagination.

Used EXTENSIVE layouts for this.

Flash Poo

2010-12-21T12:44:00.001-08:00

Took me a few days to do this. Really no story here, but it was fun!!

Assignment in 2 point vertical and three point! VERY difficile! I have to do everything by hand to. No cheating. Bleh.

2010-12-06T14:12:00.001-08:00

2010-10-26T23:26:00.000-07:00

cause it I am working mostly on contract work . . . boooorrrrrriiing.

Time Warp!

2010-09-28T14:21:00.000-07:00

I had to do one! I've been so outrageously busy with work and school that I haven't had a chance to sit and paint something for myself. This was fun to do and I learned a lot, actually! It's like character design - but you use yourself as the subject! It is a great exercise, highly recommend other's do the same!

. . . . based on a dream I had!

Saying Goodbye

2010-09-02T13:28:00.001-07:00

I have been working on a lot of commissions as of late... thus the lack of posts. Anyway, I painted this very sad moment of life. This happened this past year. My family went in and stayed late at the hospital watching and waiting as a generation passed on. It was very surreal. But it was also very real. I painted this from memory, but it is very clear in my head so it looks right to me.

Oh yeah, I should probably post this (I may finish it... one day sighs):

Actually, strange thing about this is that I have recently lost a little weight from road biking - not like I was huge or anything, but my face looks thinner, or maybe I am just getting older... who knows.

This kind of painting occurs very late in the night whilst listening to very sexy electronica. Also, I am a perfectionist, so yeah, I fixed it and here it is! Probably a giant waste of time though.

Changed for my portfolio, gotta deadline!!! @_@

2010-02-20T00:42:00.000-08:00

ALSO, this painting looks atrocious right-side-up! I painted it upside down, and it shall remain so!

One of my more significant dreams..

2010-01-23T22:34:00.000-08:00

This painting I drew today in few hours. It is based on a incredibly vivid dream I had the night of my Opi's funeral.

Basically it went like this: I am riding my bike chasing yellow giants by highway 40 in my hometown of park city. I want them to slow down and I fear they will smash my home! Everything is yellow and smells of hay. It is very bright (the way it gets in the mountains). The air is full of grass pollen. they will not slow down and keep running! So I ride until I pass out. Then I wake up.

COREL PAINTER ELECTRIC SHEEP LIGHTNING BABE!

2009-08-07T23:05:00.000-07:00

So where to begin... I haven't drawn for a while.. but then I bought a wacom tablet and Corel 11. F*CKIN AWESOME by the way. I was really rusty so I decided I would badly draw a naked lady:

For some reason I actually liked it and decided to flesh her out and give her fantastic red eighties hair:
Meanwhile I am listening to MGMT "Electric Feel" and I decided to answer the question "Why is she holding a stick?" Because she is an electric sheep farmer of course!

Also, I decided I'd try out the lighting effects in Corel, umm they are awesome.

I would like to note that she has light-bulb earrings! And I want her boots! Oh and her doggy is my doggy. Did I use reference? Well I will say Michele Pfeiffer.

RANDOM shots from storyboard!

2009-08-04T11:43:00.001-07:00

RANDOM SHOTS!

2009-06-22T00:35:00.000-07:00

HELLo and greetings from Rome! Ugh it is hot and armpitty here and I am studying Italian and Archaeology. I have done several doodoos and drawings whilst here. I SHALL (past imperative?) scan them when I get back! Hot damn I can't wait to g back to the states and type on a normal damned key board!

Several things to rant about while i remember;

You cannot go anywhere and expect to get:

ice

change

cold

couples not going at it

anything between 1pm and 4pm or in the morning...

no pee or cigarettes on the ground.

Enjoy!

2009-04-20T07:03:00.000-07:00

So here is part one of a painting - -
I draw from memory.
this moment happened a few days ago, it is my brother telling my dying grandfather a story.

2009-04-14T22:25:00.000-07:00

So I was in Flash class listening to "The Girl and the Robot" by Royksopp! And his appeared in front of me! wow! Oh yeah... I did it in Corel - of course!

NOT FINISHED!

2009-04-02T21:55:00.000-07:00

Hello all! I don't know if I will finish this. I'm getting to it though. It is done in colored pencils primarily, markers, oil paint and turpentine.
It is Greek in nature but it is also about death and its messengers.
