Dare2Draw, December 19th, 2012

I won this 36 copic marker set at big city dare2draw event yesterday. It's a great environment that encourages young artists and encourage them to pursue art through some great prizes, competitions and opportunities to meet some professionals. Next one will be the 23rd of January at the Society of illustrators in Nyc. WWW.bigcitydare2draw.com

Happy Holidays

While trying to get to sleep last night, I felt the urge to do something. I haven't really made anything close to finished pieces for a while and I just didn't feel comfortable not doing something about it. So from this morning up until now I've been hacking away at this cartoon, and I have to say, it was really fun. I hope I get to do more updates soon, and although this one literally kept me from sleeping It was soo worth it. Happy Holidays, and Goodnight.

Muddy Waters

I'm a big fan of blues music even if I don't listen to it as much as true blues enthusiast would, but everyone starts somewhere. I've listened to alot of BB King, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, I also love bands with blues infused into their music, Led Zeppelin,  Creedence Clearwater Revival etc. I discovered Muddy Waters not too long ago and while I may not know much about the south listening to his lyrics make me feel like I could call it home. Just during the music though.

Sketchbook Update

Been some time but I figured this page could use some sketches.

Old Animation

I dug out this Photoshop animation I did in college. It was actually pretty fun, but I had promised my teacher to turn into a flip book and that kinda sucked. The story was fun to me, it reminded me of an old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles episode with a character based on Jack Kirby and how his characters came to life. It was my favorite episode of the series.

CoCo, quick sketch

I've done plenty of head drawings, although most of them were studies rather than exaggerations. While practicing my caricaturing I made this Conan drawing with my Pentel Brush Pen and a sharpie.

One-Shot Page

This was a supposed to be a 3 pager, but I grew dissatisfied with the story I decided to scrap it but the intention was not only to explore storytelling but to find out how far I should push penciling.
