tricks and treats part3

Over the weekend, Jenn and I attended our friend Cecilia's annual costume extravaganza. We called it "Magic Trick Gone Bad."

Well, here is the last group of costumed vixens for your viewing pleasure. Happy Halloween!

tricks and treats

The other day I began drawing a girl in a halloween costume. Don't really know why, just felt like it. And of course she had to have a friend so I drew another one. Before I knew it, I had sketched out quite a few. And now I have a complete set of 12.


So instead of stashing 'em away to never see the light of day again, which is what usually happens during one of my artistic whims, I decided to see what a couple of them would look like all "illustratored" out. That's a word, right?


I think I've got the momentum to finish them all, maybe even add some kind of background or whatever. Here's hoping I can finish it before next Tuesday. Why next Tuesday you ask? Because that's when Halo 3 drops. And once I get my hands on that precious little disc you'll be damn lucky to see me post here again sometime before next spring. Okay, that's a lie. I do have some self-control. Okay, that's another lie.

illustration friday: momentum

Looks like it's been exactly six months since I last participated in an illfriday theme. Figured I'd get back into the swing of things by trying something a bit different. My weapon of choice has always been Illustrator, but I've also been quite fascinated and frustrated with what Flash has to offer. So I thought I'd give that program another shot. Though it feels like everything I've ever learned with Illustrator had to be thrown right out the window. As if I'm learning to draw all over again, but with my left butt cheek. After a few hours of fumbling around, I think I've stumbled onto something quite refreshing. Stay tuned for more experimental goodness and mishaps.

ringo

It was a shock for me to hear that Mike Wieringo passed away over the weekend. Though we never had the chance to meet in person, I was always humbled and grateful that he found the time to send me his compliments and words of encouragement and advice through the message boards we both frequented as well as our blogs. His work will continue to be an inspiration to me. His presence in the art community will surely be missed.

comic-con 07 aftermath

Another year, another Comic-Con. It was busier than ever but worth the extreme exhaustion. As usual, I didn't get much of a chance to wander far from my table. So here's a modest amount of flicks for your viewing pleasure.

Noel, Jenn, and I at the table.

The question of the day was "Can Cailee fit inside a WB bag and be carried around by Miguel?" The answer was yes.

Daniel Davis stops by looking a bit different from what I remember.

The secret of my success? Booth babes, of course.

Jenn out "robots" C3PO.

Alberto, Francisco, and I at the Brandstudio table.

And a few of this years sketches:

The rest of the flicks can be seen here.

A big freakin' "Thank You!" to all of you who stopped by. Until next!

comic-con 07

The almighty Comic-Con is just around the corner, once again, and I'll be exhibiting for the fifth year in a row. So if you plan on attending make sure to stop by and say hi. I'll have quite a few new prints as well as my new book for sale. You'll find me at (D6) next to our long time neighbors at DunceCap, Tim Wollweber and Dan Almanzar. For the next week or so I'll be frantically getting ready for the big event while in the midst of all the Harry Potter madness that seems to be packed into this crazy month. Looks like my wife, Jenn, will have the first go on the final instalment as I'll have to wait till after the con to lock myself away and quietly absorb all that awaits in The Deathly Hallows. So keep your spoilers to yourself, please, unless you want to witness me cry like a little schoolgirl as my fists make love to your face in the worst possible way imaginable.

For a list of must-see folks at the Con, check out John Nevarez's list. And check out the list of people from the Drawing Board.

tiki goodness

DvA Gallery in Chicago is having it's Anniversary Tiki Exhibition & Party next Saturday the 23rd. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend but one of my paintings will.

This piece was painted with acrylic on a 50" x 11.5" wood longboard. If you're in the area be sure to stop on by and check out all the amazing artwork.

more paint


Here's another painting experiment for ya. The flick doesn't do justice to the subtle gradation changes in the background, but you get the idea. I'm feeling a bit more comfortable with this medium so I think I'll get started on the stacks of canvases and wood that have been collecting dust in my office. I think my Wacom tab is feeling a bit jealous right now.

paint


It's been awhile since I picked up a paintbrush so I thought I'd get back into the swing of things with a small painting. Acrylic on wood, 11.5"x8.5". I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out, but I know I can do more. Not a bad warm-up for the two longboard decks I'll be painting for an upcoming tiki show in June. Time for me to get crackin, so keep posted!

goldfish


Here's a piece I've been meaning to do for a while now. Had the pencils sitting around in a sketchbook. Also, I just really wanted to draw some fish. Stay tuned for more fish. Below I've added a little bit of the process. The first image is a scan of the pencils. Next I inked it in Illustrator, followed by the colors and patterns. I then made my way to the kitchen to make myself some pancakes. Pencil, Ink, Color, Pancakes. That's how I roll.

illustration friday: wired


Here's a little analog goodness for this week's illFriday topic "wired". I dig the shape of an old school cassette tape. Quite sexy.

In other news, the uber-sick Alberto Ruiz just launched Brand Studio Press, his very own publishing company. I've been very fortunate and humbled to be a part of his Spring 2007 Collection of hardcover artbooks. Here's a few snapshots of my book, Electric Fan:




It should be ready to order by the end of the month, so keep posted. In the mean time, check out the rest of the books from an amazing collection of talented artists here.

illustration friday: sprout


This came to mind when I thought of this week's illfriday topic "sprout." He's actually looking down at what sprouted out of his pants.

I finally had a chance to watch Little Miss Sunshine with my wife over the weekend. Effin' Brilliant.

art jumble: prehistoric


Can it be? Two posts in one week?! Has the impossible happened? Pigs flying, Hell freezing over, dogs having kttens and cats having puppies?! Well, here's hoping I continue this new found momentum. Finally got around to join in on all the fun over at Art Jumble. This weeks theme is prehistoric. So here's a little cavegirl for ya. She likes a big bone.

illustration friday: red


It's been awhile since I've done a piece for illfriday. I'd like to say that I plan to post more often, but unfortunately I picked up one of those nifty Nintendo Wii's over the holidays. Me + videogames = moth + flame.
