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.

ocupado

Dayam, I have been neglecting this blog of mine. Just been very occupied with work, life, and saving the world. So here's a few illos from a children's book I've been working on to prove that I haven't just been sitting on my ass in some dark room somewhere cradling my PS2 in my arms.
