This is what I did today. Liv Tyler is beautiful, end of story.

it's holiday time!

2011-12-18T20:40:00.001-08:00

Have a safe and happy holiday, everyone!

My roommate plays a lot of Arkham City, so I thought I would do a few doodles. Also included are some random cute girls.

Warriors

2011-10-23T13:08:00.001-07:00

I finally watched The Warriors for the first time yesterday. And although I disagree with the notion of gang sluts, I really liked Mercy's face.

a barista and some wonder women. I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and draw a hipster wonder woman as well.

Robot and Monster Gallery

2011-07-09T18:32:00.000-07:00

Every month Nickelodeon holds a different gallery in the main hallway, and Friday was the debut of the Robot and Monster Crew Show. Behold my submissions:

The red star means somebody paid money for it! Here are the paintings themselves:

2011-02-05T11:46:00.000-08:00

thank you cards

Me and My mom

2010-12-05T12:36:00.000-08:00

Started making thank-you cards for the soon approaching end of my Nickelodeon internship...

Space cat

2010-10-23T14:30:00.000-07:00

I'm working on some character designs for cats in space. I thought this little guy was cute, so I wanted to share!

FASHION

2010-09-22T14:14:00.000-07:00

This blog is sorely in need of an update. I apologize to anyone who looks at it.

I spent the summer interning at Hallmark Cards Inc, and I unfortunately cannot post any of the work I did. Look for an update on that near mothers' day, and Christmas 2011!

I'm interning at Nickelodeon right now, and although I'm not allowed to do any artwork for that, doodling DOES happen. And since I have some doodles, and I need to update my blog, here is a fashion monster. FIERCE.

The Forest on the Superhighway

2010-03-25T21:32:00.000-07:00

It has been too long. Here is some work from a recent group project.

Betty Jo "nice" final

2010-01-28T12:46:00.001-08:00

I never got around to posting this. It is the final Design for Betty Jo, whilst looking friendly to lure small children to the parade. The design needs simplifying, but I still like her.

updated portfolio

2010-01-06T20:49:00.000-08:00

For those who are interested, I have an updated portfolio!

Madame Majestica, AKA BettyJo

2009-11-10T17:24:00.000-08:00

This design may or may not be scrapped. Regardless, sleep well tonight, children.....

Moby Dick II: On a Boat

2009-10-02T21:37:00.001-07:00

I think this image speaks for itself.

Moby Dick II

2009-09-17T08:01:00.000-07:00

Here are some rejected ideations for Captain Ahab's daughter. She's half Tlingit and hates her daddy. More importantly, she is going to kill herself a whale.

2009-04-19T12:50:00.000-07:00

I guess these are becoming a series

imagination drawing 3

2009-04-15T10:15:00.001-07:00

A quick doodle of some monster fun times.

a rat

2009-04-08T15:10:00.000-07:00

A doodle that will never be used for an upcoming assignment.

imagination drawing 2

2009-04-06T15:21:00.000-07:00

I like cute girls. I like muffins. The choice seemed obvious.

plein aire

2009-03-25T16:57:00.000-07:00

Ashley and I went painting today. Here is what did. The scan is making the browns look really red and dark. In fact, blame all of the color issues on the scan...Yes...twas the scanner....

imagination drawing

2009-03-24T21:09:00.000-07:00

We were told to draw whatever we wanted. If I could draw monsters and dumb pictures of my friends for the rest of my life, I would die happy.

morocco environments

2009-03-19T16:15:00.000-07:00

Here are some environments and a character design for my latest class assignment; a mask shop in 1940s Marrakesh. I tried to keep the shapes really graphic, and concentrate on color, but in the end I like my character a LOT more than my environments. Such is the life of a pirate.

morocco studies

2009-03-11T10:10:00.001-07:00

Some value and color studies for an exterior of a Moroccan mask shop. Finish to come later.

doodles

2009-03-10T15:14:00.000-07:00

Sometimes in art class my friend and I draw dumb pictures of each other. I love doing silly drawings of my friends more that fancy things. They always seem to cheer me up! Here is a typical "feel better" drawing, and a happy-g0-lucky doodle of Ashley and partner in crime Robert.

waterfall spirit

2009-02-24T19:52:00.000-08:00

A finished class assignment. Also, it gave me diabetes.

2009-01-25T22:37:00.000-08:00

I went to a farm to draw animals today. Inspired by the cuteness of sheep in their winter wool, I drew this silly thing. It's Bo Peep, having found her sheep, returning home. I wanted her to be sugar-coated cute, while the sheep I think should be cute bordering on crazy. Happy crazy.

Color Studies

2009-01-22T14:06:00.000-08:00

A little bit of practice with color and photoshop painting. And pickles.

The Widow Ching

2009-01-22T13:48:00.000-08:00

Final project for my visual development class; The Widow Ching, pirate queen, of sorts. These are still in need of revisions, so any suggestions would be helpful. We have here some environment thumbnails and value comps, and final b+w and color environment, and final character designs with ideations. Rock.

Figure Drawing Marathon

2009-01-22T13:18:00.000-08:00

This winter break we had a nice, week-long, figure drawing marathon. We had some AMAZING models, even some with great costumes. It was a good reminder that I need to get out a draw more naked people to shake the rust off. Here are some samples that weren't completely terrible! I find it important to note these are mostly from the last day of the marathon.

2009-01-22T12:56:00.000-08:00

Hurray, Blogger!

In honor of my first art blog, I thought my first post should be completely irrelevant. Enjoy.
