Commercial

This is a background for a Panasonic/ Disney blue ray DVD commercial.  I think it's aired so I'm safe to post it:)

kite

Through the gate, behind the garage, where Dad keeps his tools, was the most beautiful kite we've ever seen.

storyboards

These are quick story boards to pitch an idea for a haunted house for a very elaborate halloween party. I had to crank out 25 of these in one week with all my art center homework.

The top two are one hour gouache studies don on the bank of the Willammette river in Eugene Oregon, and the bottom one is a marker study from garfield park.

digital doodle

ink w/o photoshop

For the sake in keeping up with my goal of posting daily until school starts, heres one of the ink drawings I did that one day I said I did ink drawings.  The pink is watercolor. To me this round was more about experimenting with the painterly effects of the medium than anything else.

ink drawings

Today I sat in front of the computer with some ink and some pens and brushes.  I searched google for scantily clad women and went straight in with the ink.  I have to admit I'm cleaning them up a bit in PS as well as coloring.

this is one of four lithium ladies

Another faux comic from work

This is going to be a poster for an "According to Jim" set.  The good and bad thing about designing props is that you only get a couple hours to crank stuff out.

Today a BBQ at Garfield park

We had a nice little BBQ at the park today there were fine italian sausages and oatmeal cookies that were addictive like crack.  The top image is a gouache thumbnail sketch I did at Garfield park(3"x1.5"  its freakin' huge when you click on it).  The bottom is the fountain at the Starbucks I stopped at on the way to the park ( they were playing that Tears for Fears song).  Oh yeah and the drawing of Steve from the pub last night.  I'm glad I'm posting consistently for the time being.

watercolor walkabout

painting workshop

I was able to catch the last two hours of the painting workshop after work today.  This is my first digital figure painting from life,  I can't wait to do a full session.

Stab the nurse's butt with a syringe: the game

This is a game that my Uncle commissioned me to do for my 5 year-old cousin's B-day party.

These little paintings of my doodles

Still trying to get the hang of this digital painting thing, these quick little paintings inspired from doodles are proving to be good practice.   As for this one the composition is a little static but it was fun to work on.

Wall paper panel

This was designed as a wall paper panel for a dress shop set on the "Bill Engvall" show.  The one they went with looked nothing like this and was much less fun.

Jeremy- line drawings and composition

Gabe-butterfly wing-like design elements and color

photoshop practice

a few hours in good ol' Photoshop after work produced this strange underwater vessel.  

Social commentary?

Messy scratchy doodles.  Messy scratchy mind.  Really, you should see my desk.
