Character design for the forthcoming detective illustration I mentioned in the previous post.

Just a little something

My first post from (and first drawing scanned in on) my shiny new computer! Yay!

A while back I asked Jeremy for an idea of something to draw. He suggested something along the lines of merpeople and Atlantis; while I didn't make a full illustration on that idea at least I finally did something with it. I may or may not do a color version, but I'm working on a film-noir detective movie-inspired illustration right now that will probably take precedence over this, so who knows.

Me AGAIN!

Well now, this is crazy for me. Two posts in one week!...I gotta keep this up.
This cowpoke is currently making his home in my sketchbook. I'm happy to say that he is very content existing there but is hankering to get out and into some illustrations. Lately i've been thinking of making a children's book and the urge has been somthin fierce. I think Im going to be doing a cowboy related story...we'll see.

About this piece, I decided to try a different approach to my painting technique. I've been watching some tutorial videos on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB2DQhbszFI Matt Bush has some great stuff. I've learned quite a bit just in this piece alone. I just have to get my airbrush up and running again.

Well I gotta run now...and get an oil change and run some errands.

Hope all is going well with y'all

Hey all, thought I'd do a quick post this morning just before I start working. I am working on new ideas and working on getting them done. Currently they are building up in my head, I'm going to be working on some this weekend.

Here is a piece that i did just to make sure that I still knew how to "paint". I have relearned a lot and have a lot of ideas on how to get a better image in the end.

Orange you glad I didn't say Bannana again!

Ok, so I didn't get a scanner but I learned how to take pictures! Yeay Jeremy! and yes Josh, I would totally get a fancy scanner to take pics . . . :P

Anyways, heres an Orange and the Gourds from the last post, but should be way better quality. Enjoy!

Sorry about the bad pic. Aparently I suck at taking pictures of my work. Once I get a scanner I'll get better pics.
