Project A

This is the first sketch of a school for a series me and my buddy are working on.

Swing Life Away

I wanted to do a piece that depicts the simplicity of childhood. I drew the child as though she wasn't enjoying herself, it's to represent the impending doom of adulthood.

New Inks

I finally sat down last night and started doing some inks again. I started looking at galleries and I'm going to be doing a show in the buddah soon and I needed some new stuff for it.

Lucky Dewey

Finally done! lots of work, it took about 10 hours to get this painting done, but it was worth it. My first real digital painting. :D if anyone wants a print, let me know.

*****

I called it Lucky Dewey because it's actually based on the death of a well known mobster, Dutch Shultz. He was a mob boss back in the days of the prohibition and got screwed over by a politician named Dewey something or other. Shultz blew up and announced (despite the unhappiness of the roundtable) a hit on the politician. Lucky Luciano, not wanting to draw unecessary attention to his crime syndicate, took out Shultz before he could kill Dewey.

Mafia Cafe

I can't quite remember where this comes from, but i know it's a well-known mobster photograph, if anyone can help me remember which mobster got killed in a cafe, it would be much appreciated. I did this sketch so i could paint it... i figure you may as well paint something you're interested in right?

you made my flower die

i found this old sketch while i was cleaning my basement and it gave me a chuckle... so i figured i'd turn it into a cheap little digital painting. enjoi.

**

just so no one gets confused, this is not an original character, it's a crappy imitation of azuzephre.

Angel - 1

Angel

So me and my girlfriend got to talking about painting and stuff, and we decided to paint... i don't know exactly... boxes? canvases? i'll figure that out later, but anywayz, this is a character sketch of something i thought would look good in the painting

high seas

This is going to be my submission for the high seas competition at work

summoner - sketch

Initial sketch for a contest about a summoner or something. anywayz, i made him summon an ogre, i think it'll look cool if i ever get it finished, now to learn how to digitally paint.

Sudz - 01 - The Valley

Sudz - The Valley

So I figured i'd start a little comic strip and who knows, maybe when i've got quite a few i'll start a website and make it an online comic, but for now it's mostly just for fun. I thought it would be different to incorporate photographs as backgrounds, since to the best of my knowledge no one does that. No worries though, they'll all be taken by me, no biting.

new project

Me and my college buddy Denis started working on an idea a long time ago for a tv series. It's gonna be pretty cool, i don't want to divulge too much right away, but it's going to involve 8 year olds from all around the world. Here's some character sketches I've drawn up for the project.

high sea sketch

At work we were told that we could design charaters for the upcomming movie and if selected, we'd get paid for our designs, this is my sketch so far for a teenage, would-be pirate, who turned out to be a signing boyband type.

Threadless T

I am finally done the t-shirt for the Threadless Loves Drawing contest!!! it took forever, but here it is. To see the actual threadless link with a flash application showing what it will look like click below.

For the actual pictures, check them out below.

George

I love Seinfeld. This is George. took me a half hour on my lunchbreak.

Sketching done!

After 3 long nights of work (about 2-3 hours each) i'm finally done lol. I used vectors to color the entire thing and some gradients. I only used 8 colors, which is the max limit for Threadless. I'm hoping this design will help me win the sketching contest, and get that sweet Cintiq! Anywayz, i still have to edit the bed when i'm done the next picture for the shirt, but it's looking good.

t-shirt sketch 2

This is the second sketch for my t-shirt. This will appear on the front of the shirt and the back will be the previous entry with him sketching the paradise. I'm going to change the sketch of the paradise a little and have him still sitting on his bed,so it shows my message "art can take you away" a little more clearly.

Escape - sketch

I started working on a custom piece for Threadless Loves Drawing. This one is based on the idea that drawing can take you to anywhere you want to go. For most of us it's an escape. This is the sketch that I'm going to make my piece off of. I'll post up the other side of the shirt as soon as I have it made. Enjoi.

New Tshirt

I was reading my earlier submission to Threadless when I spoted a comment tellming me I should have submitted that design to the Threadless Loves Drawing section. I didn't want to resubmit something, so i figured i'd turn another one of my pieces into a t-shirt. Check it out through the link below.

Coats

I was having lunch in the tower cafe and decided to sketch out the coats hanging up in the corner. Alot of hatching and linework. It took about 30 minutes.

Tasha

I decided to pull out my sketchbook while I was on break at work today and sketch out a picture of my girlfriend Tasha. I'm really pleased with the end result. It was all done with an HB pencil.

Castle

I told myself I was going to try to draw as much as possible in inks and draw anything and everything. Seeing as I was doing alot of people, I figured i'd have some fun drawing a castle. It's just really quick work, but it was fun to mess around with.

threadless t-shirt

I made a t-shirt for threadless out of my last submission, check it out and rate it, i think it would make a wicked shirt lol.

Freedom

I had a couple minutes at work on my lunchbreak so i figured I'dhave some fun with people jumping. I love this jumping pose, very expressive.

Inks

So I finally got around to buying myself an ink set. really simple too, just a dipping ink pen and some china ink, and i figured i'd sit down and test it out. This is what came out, I have to say, i'm quite pleased with the results. It's a bit of a loose, flowing style.
