Nightclub City

Well, the cat's out of the bag. Booyah made it official that we created Nightclub City on Facebook. Here's the loading page image and some of the initial character designs I worked on. Be sure to check out the game to see these little guys shake their booties :)

surf and snow dude

Here's a few more illustrations from the surf alarm widget. We had also wanted to add a snow condition version but ran out of time.

talking heads

These are just a few character models I've been working on for a recent client. It's been great having the freedom to go off and create whatever comes to mind. I've just barely scratched the surface of the infinte amount of possibilities that could come out of this. They've even asked me to go as off the wall as I can. It's going to be a fun on-going project.

Anyhoo, it's been close to a month since Jenn and I got married and it still trips me out to call her my wife. I have a wife. Me. Me who still has to check out what's new in the toy section at Target and who just bought 4 cartons of ice cream in a weeks time. Trippy. But hey, I draw cartoons for a living. So life is just peachy.

behold!

My flaming sword of fire! It's 3 in the morning. Sleepy yet hungry is my new high. Must satisfy cravings before I lose consciousness.

you sexy beast

Lately, I've been hard at work redesigning these children's book covers. Whoa, did I just say hard at work? That's right. This slack bastard has been burning the midnight, or should I say, 5am oil. Above are a few character design concepts I've been working on. Me likes me blue lead. I thought I'd lost my trusty mech-pencil containing said blue lead on the move to San Diego. How I've missed you so, my trusty mech-pencil containing said blue lead that I thought I had lost.


Anyhoo, I finally have something to hang my heavy bag on. Jenn got me this nifty heavy bag stand with an equally nifty speed bag for me as a happy belated birthday/Christmas present. It's been awhile since I've done anything close to exercising. I'm not really sure if walking upstairs counts. I really haven't found anyone to spar around here so my new present is a great alternative for the meantime. I even hung my trusty helmet on the heavy bag to simulate a sparring partner or diabolical evil supervillain. Though I was able to fight a few short last minute rounds at the WEKAF regionals, I won't be able to make it to the nationals on account of much more important matters (hint, hint: wedding) and the fact that I've turned into a lazy, out-of-shape eskrimador. But with this new nifty heavy bag setup, I'm on my way to returning to my former sexy beast self.

character sketches

Two weeks into the new year and the work just keeps on coming. Which is a good thing because it's work that translates to money which translates to me deciding whether to spend it on groceries or an army of porcelain pig chefs. But it also means I have to actually get of my ass and do something productive. As if watching the special features on all my new DVD's in the comfort of my boxers isn't productive enough. Anyhoo, these are a few character design concepts I did for a new client. They decided to take the character in a different direction so it's back to the drawingboard.


Hope the holiday season treated everyone well. Before I go, let me introduce you to the newest member of our little family...


...Obi-Wan Kenobi Haya. The force is strong with this one.

surfer girl

It's been 3 months since Jenn and I moved from the Bay Area to sunny San Diego. And I think we've adapted quite well to this new environment. We've been introduced to quite a few delicious indigenous delicacies, from deep-fried burritos to the almighty goodness of carne asada fries, which basically boils down to a large styrofoam to-go box filled with fries and topped with everything you would find inside a large carne asada burrito. My arteries are clogging just thinking about it. Everything is less than a half hour away, including the beach. There are a lot more hills down here, so my trusty Sector9, which is definitely one of my best So-Cal investments, is an awesome way to get around and a great substitute to snowboarding on the off-season. And the warm, sunny weather supports my pants-less way of life. The one thing we haven't gotten around to yet is surfing. What other sport can say you might get eaten? I can't wait to try it out. And I'm definitely not wearing pants for that.

Above is one of the concept sketches for a t-shirt design I'm working on. The project shifted to another one of my designs, so I get to play around with these sketches on my own time. So maybe I'll put it into Illustrator and color it. Or maybe I'll sit around on my lazy ass and think about it for awhile before I get distracted with thoughts of pouring carne asada fries down my pants. What the hell, I can do two things at once.

And on a different note, Melody, you fucking rock! Can you dance at my wedding? I promise to wear pants.
