Bandit

Happy Illustration Sunday!

this is a concept piece for a character I'm working on named

"Bandit P. Reeves":

the idea is that he's kinda a normal guy who happens to be named after a less than ideal cartoon character (the dog from Johnny Quest), and suddenly when he gets into college all these wacky things start happening (unicorns, pirate battles, love potions,... you know, normal college stuff)

obviously there are still a bunch of kinks to work out.

Arabella and the Angry Chef

I was going through one of my sketchbooks from last year when I ran into the planning sketches for this picture.

as you can see I originally had planned to illustrate the whole room. But, due to my teachers insistence, I only focused on Arabella in the final.

And then we have this...

a doodle so obviously inspired by Ratatouille that Pixar is already sending me cease and desist letters:
I imagine the situation is that this guy came to apply at a fancy New York town house for the position of private  chef, and instead they decided to hire him as a baby sitter.

He is so angry.

also, this marks the return of sketchbook posts that actually look like they came from my sketchbook.

groovy huh?

Then I says:

Man, this took me forever to upload, usually I do my art entries a week in advance, but with all the work I was doing on my animation I didn't have the time.

Here's something I'm working on (still in progress):

I love salon talk, I kinda want to do a project were i sit in different salons and take notes of what is going on there all day.

I'll be leaving my apartment for about two weeks (it being Christmas and all),

 but luckily I'm about to start scanning for my regularly scheduled auto updates.

and now, I'm out

Something for Everyone

And now, for some media of the mixed variety:

lonely swamp beast was done in silk screen, with additional detail added with marker, gouache, and Alivn Penstix .

I have this idea for a series based on lonely monsters, the wolfman started it off...

I might make a book of these things next year.

fantastic!

Call it an apology

sorry for not updating yesterday

here's my apology present...

a look at some of the progress I'm making on my animation

(click the link to see)

oh the pain, the agony

I'm currently up to my eyelids drowning in finals. (Curse you Hans Christian Andersen!!)

So due to my painful workload I really can't guarantee any updates this week... I will try my hardest though.

as a consolation prize I offer this piece of work I did last year... it's a digital traditional collage

yeah.

Avada Kadavra

Happy friday!... two things from the sketchbook:

a happy couple-

harry potter is angry! (and swearing, yikes!)-

I take secret (well maybe not that secret) enjoyment in

drawing silly pictures of the harry potter kids...

maybe i'll post more sometime?

I have a great picture of Harry hanging on my cereal cabinet...

I think that's be a good one to show.
