Welll.....maybe not

Hey guys, I've decided to keep my blogspot, and I'll still be updating here.My tumblr is still around , but it has morphed into a collection of inspiration and random internet things that I find amusing.

I'll be doing strictly my art updates here.

So yeah.

To make up for any confusion, here is a 1 min doodle I did the other day on the back of my sister's homework (accidentally). It is a new character I might animate on some GIFs. I call him
. . . THE ICEBORG!

Find me here....

Hey everybody! My new blog shalt be found here:

Check out my artistic happenings there from now on!

Thanks!

Chicago in the Fall

I was recently commissioned to design a poster for this couple's wedding in Chicago. It was to be done in a retro style and be reminiscent of a 'gig poster'. Here was the product!

The scene takes place off of the Chicago North Pond, overlooking the Chicago cityscape, where Dan proposed to Beth.

It was ton of fun doing this piece! I researched and explored 50's and 60's art styles and techniques to complete it, including great artists like Eyvind Earle and Melanie Matthews.

Below are some details of the poster.

And below is a pic of the happy couple with the framed picture!

Another Sneak Peek!

Sorry for the delay on the ominous 'hand poster', folks. I got another commission with a more pressing deadline so I've been working on that project instead. Here's a preview of that poster!

I'll be posting this full poster in just a few days.

Up and Coming...

Working on a new poster for Claymore. Here's a sneak preview. Hopefully it'll be done within the week.

Last of the Seattle Sketches

The doodles below were done with an ink brush...whilst running out of ink.

Just some last life sketches of the Seattle wildlife. Enjoyyyyy.

More Dewdles

More doodles from Seattle. This time.....with PEN! Oooooooo.

Some Seattle Sketches

While visiting Seattle, I did some sketches of some Seattle people. These were in Sharpe marker.

Coffee Shop sketch

At Starbucks yesterday and drew this guy who was pleasantly reading at the counter in front of me.

Wizards and Nipples

Okay, so I've had these guys for a long time and it's about time I post em! These are some of my original characters for a potential show that might be made. Pretty kooky stuff.

A paintin'

A scene from the 'Cherry Blossom Festival' in Washington D.C. Oil on canvas board. I have a ton of oil painting materials leftover from art school, so I figured I'd put 'em to some use! Bam!

A Claymore Concoction

I was commissioned to do a gig poster for the super talented people over at 'Claymore Productions'. So BAM! Check it out.

Also, do visit Claymore's website here. (There's some pretty great stuff there)

Okay, so the big bad poster is coming up REAL soon, but in the meantime I thought you all might like to see this precious miserable dog I drew while I was in New York.

Aww man.....he breaks my heart.

Soon....

Hey guys I know its been a while. I've been working on a poster for 'Claymore Productions' and I'm really excited about how its turning out. I'm on the cusp of finishing it. Soon, I will put 'er up!

I thought everyone might like a nightmare tonight....

Colorized doodle of crazy ol' Gary.

Bamboo

So on a whim I bought some bamboo reed pens at Hobby Lobby and I did some late night sketching with them.

They're pretty much like any other dip pens I suppose, but they look much cooler and have a tiny bit of a softer feel to them. Anyways, here's a bed headed hero self portrait as well as some Roman sculpture busts I sketched.

Deez Posts Will Flip Yo Lid!

So without really knowing it, I designed that Darwin Deez poster about a week before he played in Denver. I almost didn't catch wind of it until it was too late!

The show was a danceable explosion of groovy splendor and eventually I took it upon myself to meet the man behind the headband.




Darwin Deez was such a cool cat that he even signed a print- out of that drawing I did of him. He even nabbed one for himself!



Check out his tunes and videos here!

One Hour Personal Challenge

Just felt like doing a one hour awesome drawing challenge, and I drew this swell fellow. His name is Darwin Deez and he's written some cosmic tunes.

Woodstock is confused...

Well at least I didn't wait until Christmas day to finish this one, like last year's card.

The fam wanted me to design another Christmas card this year and I decided to tip my hat to Charles Schultz and his classic Peanuts Christmas Special. But more specifically I want to capture that one incredible scene in the show where all those kids are dancing to Schroeder's music like hopped up go go dancers. It is cartoon dancing at its best.

Nutcracker Criminal

I was recently commissioned to design a Christmas card for a friend for a company! I decided to tool around with a retro style in photoshop, and well, here is the result:

A really deranged little nutcracker who has stolen Santa in his sleep and is delivering him to YOU!

Yes you my little blog reader; thus ensuring that you have the spirit of Christmas.
