Get it Started

A month ago a buddy of mine created 31 beats in 31 days. His motivation inspired me to take another crack at creating consecutively. So begins "Nelsonious Vs. OneSickIndividual: 31 drawings for 31 beats in 31 days," starting with the much aptly named "Get it Started."

"Get it Started" - Nelsonious.

Before I finalize a drawing, I like to see what it would look like if it took a different direction.

Far, far from the intended destination.

Secret Identities

Secret Identities is an Asian American Superhero Anthology created by Asian American writers, artists, and comics professionals. Twenty-six original stories centered around Asian American superheroes.

Here's the trailer that debuted at this year's New York Comic-Con:


I've been fortunate enough to be a part of this project and to have illustrated two of the stories. I'll post a few of the concept art real soon. The anthology drops in April, 2009. Pre-orders can be found at Amazon.com. For more info check out SecretIdentities.org.

chun li

Here's my contribution to this week's Art Jumble theme, "Street Fighter." I was quite bummed out to have missed the open call for Udon's Street Fighter tribute book. Always the last to hear, I guess. So I thought I'd make an effort to recapture a bit of nostalgia for my own with this piece.

And thought I'd share a bit of the process with the initial sketch...

... and final inks.

audition

Found this spot illo that I did earlier this year while archiving my hard drive. How did December arrive so fast? Anyhoo, the piece was for D Magazine for an article about auditioning in the theater scene.

This was the initial sketch that was later dropped for a more uncluttered feel.

illustration friday: balloon

Feels like ages since I've done something for Illustration Friday. Let's see if I can at least do one more before the end of the year.

cassette

I dig the oh so sexy shape of cassette tapes. It's a nostalgia thing.

Anyhoo, I've been tagged by my fellow artist extraordinaire, Mr. Shum, to post seven random facts about myself and pass it on to seven more. So here goes:

01. As a kid, I imagined wind propellers to be tombstones for dead planes.
02. Over-analyzing where milk comes from made me not want to drink it anymore.
03. My nails grow extremely fast, forcing me to conclude that I am part werewolf.
04. In my opinion, drinking water from a straw significantly tastes different than drinking the same water without a straw.
05. I emphasize my statements to my wife in the form of a spontaneous dance.
06. One of my pet peeves are people who refer to Kill Bill Vol.2 as a sequel. It's one movie broken into two parts, people!
07. I think giant, talking babies are frightening.

Tag, you're it...

Flash Experimentation: 02



I'm pretty sure the whole tentacle in a box thing has been done to death. What can I say, I like tentacles. Oh, and disregard the awful walk cycle. I wanted to jump to the fun part.
