Monte, Figures, and fellow Avalanchees
5 minute gesture with prisma markerMike Mignola attempt, unfortunately didn't have time to throw in the most important areas of interest like the face, hands, and feet. A Few collegues at Avalanche. The page of all the figures were 2-3 minute gestures at the Wednsday night drawing session, some little kids, and some scary horrifying animals

Cartoons

So I'm hoping that even though I'm taking a more traditional route with willustration I can still squeeze in cartoons to help develop a stronger sensitivity to design and story. Jake my twin brother was feeling very self conscious about a small blemish on his cheek and it inspired me to do this sketch.

Family Vacation

Last Fourth of July weekend we spent together as a family up at Jackson Hole Wyoming. We had a lot of fun hiking, fishing, site seeing, rafting, watching fire works, lounging at the pool, and eating Bubba's world famous barbeque. I took quite a few snap shots of my adorable nieces and nephews who tagged along with us in our outdoor adventures.

This is Cassi! She's a spaz!

Friday Open Session

Friday open drawing session and some doodles from work! So I've decided to transfer over to the illustration program this week and I'm trying to put together a portfolio for the application. I would love to do gallery work and live action concept so I feel it's a good move for me. This doesn't mean that I wont continue pushing other directions it's just what I truly have a passion for.

Some Class work

Here's a painting in progress of a design I did for my contemporary take on Hanzle and Griddle. (Sorry for the poor spelling!) She's a homeless witch that loiters practically all day and night at central park. She lures small children (mostly orphans) to her by giving out free candy to them from her vending cart that she pushes with her from place to place. Then when the orphans are the adequete size she snatches them and briefly satisifies her insatiable hunger for human flesh. It's hopefully going to be finished soon with textures and color. The latter designs are caricatures of myself as a football jock. I always get teased for my amazing physique so I figure why not play along.

Painting Assignment


Value exercise for Sam's class. Work in progress. Mostly putting it up to use my blog as a replacement for my busted external hard drive. P.S. actual design not my own it's a modern cartoon design done by Ben Balisteri . This later version I did after watching Tom one of the great artist up here at Avalanche.

This is my nephew Mason and his beautiful sister Lauren nick named La La. We went to Disneyland as a family for Labor Day weekend and had a great time. My little neice Ava who's pushing 4 was absolutely beside herself. It was her first time at the park and she did not run out of energy. I the faded drawing of Lauren's face framing Mason's head it was an accident but a happy one I think.

Ghosts in the Darkness...SCARY!! This was another value/arcitectual study. I played around with the atmospheric perspective and the overall mood by darkening and boosting the contrast considerably to get that eerie feeling seen in some of those late 19th century landscapes done in black and white. Here's two variations and a colorversion in progress let me know which one you like better

A painting I did for a value study. I played around with the photoshop filter options and learned some new tricks. I must add due to a recent accusation(made from Steve Glouser) that I did not draw over the referenced image. I started from general shapes to specific until I had something that resembled the picture. Geeeeesh...
