Quickies and back to Vectors

Hey good people out there in Internetland. Long time no post. Really liking the new layout for blogspot. Here are some quick studies I've been doing using a drawing program online. Really thankful that there is a quick pose website, just wish they would update their models more often.

Fun with sharpies! Haven't use these in a while. 2's and 5's

Drybrush baby! More 2's and 5's.

Getting back into drawing with illustrator. Oh illustrator, the only Adobe program that understands me! Trying out new techniques too like shinny textures and stuff.  Thanks for checking out my post.  

Peace and Love!

ink and gouache on illustration board 

Here's something I started a while ago. Never got around to finishing, but I really liked the characters. Have not clue what to do with that damn background, kinda got stuck 1/2 way through. Any suggestions?

Two Vector Pieces

This summer gave me time to reflect on myself and where the challenges of life have taken me. Im in a very creative and individual state of being right now, so if it feels like I have been distant to some people, I apologize. Lately all I want to do is focus on my art work and its significance to me or anyone else it may effect. I know it may be hard for people to see illustration as something that is personal, but there is a part of the process than commands ones own self reflection. The past couple of months have been that for me, self reflection. I believe I have found something finally to express, and that is myself.

Here's a concept jazz music has helped me evolve. Sirens trapped inside a piano! Horror and jazz music, a strange fusion! Developing a story for this cat.

Was my buddies birthday a couple days ago. Wanted to illustrate him a a wrestler, his true passion and one of the more ridiculous events one must watch every once and a while to not take things so seriously. I wonder if you took Shakespeare to a wrestling event?hum...

BIG SKETCH DUMP!!

So it's time that I actually start regularly updating my blog regardless if Im doing any real illustrations at the moment. Im currently open for commissions right now, but nothings falling through, so I've got all the time in the world to sketch and have fun doodling around.

Watched Shaft recently cause he's just one bad ass mutha licka!

Think I wana sketch this guy up in Illustrator. He'd make a great sticker or something.

Here's a little comic too, if you can read it.

Russian mob guys in the Richmond. Love this neighborhood.

Gorillas!

ZOO DAY!!@$

Last night me and a couple hooligans went to the Vespertine Circus in Oakland. They were so fun and entertaining to watch I couldn't find much time to draw them, but got some quick ones done after their show. They're going on tour soon, but check out their website and see them when they get back in town at:

Trust me, Im The Doctor!

HHHOOO MI GOD!!! So exited for this season of Doctor Who, really falling in love with the show this time. Here's a piece I eventually want to turn into a poster and make some prints of for all you Doctor fans out there. Had a lot of fun discovering new ways to use Illustrator during this piece. Enjoy!

More sketches!!
