BEWARE...

2011-12-13T18:17:00.000-08:00

...of dumb beezies! this piece was a commission I did based off a t-shirt of the same title. my desktop as crashed, so I haven't been able to get the original files yet. that's why I had a picture taken of it. also, I used a color halftone filter in case you are wondering why the colors look a little blurry and inconsistent.

[totally]

FLASHBACK POST...

2011-12-13T17:42:00.000-08:00

...first one up is a Halloween illustration for a children's coloring activity sheet.

this next one was a random concept I had of a construction/demolition worker who is stationed in the desert, and equipped with a hydraulic hammer.

and finally, this last one is a concept of Alice, from Alice in Wonderland, but in a world where the characters are musical artists. she is rock musician who borders or pop...

[yeaahyuh]

INSPIRATION UNRELATED?

2009-07-18T05:10:00.000-07:00

...i was watching an episode of BONES online, and this popped into my head. hmm?

[morning]

OK, SO CATCHING UP...

2009-05-26T02:54:00.000-07:00

...yea, so i haven't posted in MONTHS! so here's a quick summary of a few of my favorite illustrations i did over these past few months:

this one is an illustration of my employer, who wrote a book (The Essential Business Handbook: The Nuts & Bolts of Getting Up and Running Fast), and this is one of the many poses i drew.

...how i was feeling during the time i drew this.

and last, but not least, was something i did on the fly for my super special (awesome) friend, mae, for her birthday. yes, it's another fashionista in headphones, but that's what she likes (^_^)

JUST A WEE BIT MORE...

2009-02-12T04:55:00.000-08:00

...so i made a few changes to what beth wanted. so lo and behold i present to you beth 3.5!

[yawn]

GETTING THERE

2009-02-09T06:32:00.000-08:00

...so the character is getting closer to being finished. beth and i found a look that we both liked, and so after some tweaking, beth 3.0 was born. im going to do this over, but with less lines (folds/wrinkles). i want it to look sleek and simple.

[sleep]

PLATE MAY BE A LITTLE WARM...

2009-01-29T04:56:00.000-08:00

...another update on my sketches of beth. her and i liked how this one turned out, so i'll be working from this.

[ooh]

WELCOME BACK MR. CARTER!

2009-01-25T20:14:00.000-08:00

...well not exactly, but it has been quite a many moons since i posted something. im finished with school, took a long, and well deserved break, and now im back with something new.

im currently doing some freelance illustration for an easier "idiot's guide to starting up a business." my employer wants me to draw a cartoon version of herself that will be on each chapter title. here's one example of where im going with this.

Art NEWveau

2008-10-29T16:03:00.000-07:00

...so i've been on hiatus for awhile now, and haven't posted anything in over a month. i felt bad, and finally i have a little goodness to share. this is my take on the work of alphonse mucha, but with a contemporary style to it; hence the rosebud headphones.

[kanpai]

My New Mascot

2008-08-26T23:18:00.001-07:00

[Flashback Of The Day] - Where It All Started...

2008-08-12T22:53:00.000-07:00

...and so [stylistic!] was born. actually i've had it around for a couple years when i was trying to come up with a new label/tag for my artwork, and didn't really run with it until i made this video for my motion graphics and web animation final.

[high five]

2008-07-24T19:19:00.000-07:00

...the main character for the upcoming animated short, MUSIC WORLD (working title), for my 2D Animation Studio class. the color scheme isn't final, it was just something i picked out so it wouldn't look plain. as of now he has no name, but for the meantime i'll call him Dru.

[look forward to it]

Self Collage-trait

2008-07-18T13:29:00.000-07:00

...me and lupin. he was favorite out of everyone, so i took a picture with him.

SAILOR MOON

...coincidentally my favorites: mars and saturn, respectively.

YAKITATE!! JAPAN

...this couple was my runner up. i havent seen anyone cosplay this series, and the fact that the girl did "scantily clad" monica was a big plus. suwabara was ok.

SOUL EATER

...SHINIGAMI-SAMA with his big head-chopping hands!! brownie points for the big foam hands. this tsubaki is only cool through extension.

LUCKY STAR/HARUHI

Back to Business

2008-06-26T16:00:00.001-07:00

...im back from my week off from drawing (i know, sounds crazy), and so i got out of the house to go somewhere and draw. and came up with these babies:

FRIDAY I'M LISTENING TO MY HEART
...ive been randomly listening to some old Cure and Roxette songs, so i drew robert smith and marie fredriksson.

BOHO LUCKY
...inspiration from when i was killing time in victoria gardens, at lucky brand, and i picked out an outfit to go with this scarf my cousin wanted to get. it looks badass with her red shoes.

ROBIN IN CHUCKS
...as the title suggests. i was in class a few weeks ago, not doing anywork, because wayne was showing a bunch of us a website that had different artists posting their own renditions of exhisiting comic book characters. there was an ugly one of robin, and he was wearing chucks. so this is my take.

Mad Skillz Hatta

2008-06-20T17:29:00.001-07:00

...the mad hatter, and the March Hare, for my Alice Rocks Wonderland concept. He turned out to be the better of the 5 characters i did. im going to redraw the other 3 (alice, queen of hearts, and the cheshire cat) and do them justice.

and for YOU, wayne, im going to make my other concept style (Wunderhaven) even more justice by drawing out all 5 characters in a comic book style cover, in celebration of comic-con. so look forward to those upcoming drawings.

[cheers]

NANI

2008-06-13T12:14:00.001-07:00

2008-06-10T02:37:00.000-07:00

...lighting and texture (model given to me to use) that i did for my final in the advanced lighting and texture class. it was quite tedious to come up with all that graffiti, and making them look different from each other. i also borrowed some work from banksy and lucy mclauchlan.
