Giant Background

Last week I drew some characters that I like a lot So this weekend I have been trying to figure out where they live. I was hoping it would just come to me like a bolt of lightning but it hasn't. When something like this happens The only thing you can do is start drawing and see what happens. yesterday I sat down, pulled out a pencil and started to draw. Below are some progress photos of the location that I am working on. It is a work in progress and it keeps getting bigger. I keep adding more and more paper onto it. I really like it, but it doesn't fit the characters yet so I plan on continuing to draw and expanding on the layout until it feels right. This could go on for days... even weeks.

In an effort to keep posting on a regular basis Ive got a few doodles of some new characters I've been working on. I really need to get the cord to my scanner! anyways, here they are...

Painting Practice

I had another quite morning so I decided to get some painting done. My scanner isn't hooked up so I just took a photo. I think I might touch these up a little bit and then scan them in. The photo just doesn't cut it. But, I wanted to try and post things on a regular basis. anyways, these are both acrylic on 8x10 canvas panel. enjoy :)

some Oil Pastels

It was a nice quite morning this morning and I was able to clear my head and work with my Pastels. Im not very good with them, but I'm trying to get better. I've been using soft oils but Im thinking about getting some harder Pastels. If you get a chance drop a comment and if you have any tips for working with oil Pastels let me know.

even more doodles

holy cow, I'm going through my sketch book and I found a bunch of drawings I think would be fun to post. I don't have a scanner so the quality of my iphone photos are a little crummy but these aren't really intended to look good anyways. Most of these dont need any introduction, they are just very random doodles in my book.

The image below is from an idea I had to do a commercial that mocks the iPad and use monsters hands fumbeling with an old speak and spell. I think it could be funny... we'll see if I ever do it...



The image below was done with oil pastels and its really small, maybe 2x3 inches

More Doodles

I've been on a trip to NYC this past week and I found myself with a little time so I thought I might post a few more doodles.

I thought I would post a few doodles that have been collecting on my desk before I head down into the coal mine. These were all done on a small 5x8in scratch pad that I got from my friend Laura. I love the paper cause it is surprisingly thick for a note pad. I apologize for the quality of the images, I had to use a camera because my dog chewed through the wire connecting my scanner and my computer. All of these were colored with fibracolor markers. enjoy:)
