Island Boy

My buddy, Dean Kelly, has been doing some beautiful image boards for his story.  You guys should check out his blog.  This is my rendition of your character, Dean. I hope you like it.

Walking the dog

A typical scene in L.A.

Carter Goodrich/H.B.Lewis

Here's my attempt to imitate amazing artists Carter Goodrich/ H.B. Lewis. Obviously, I need more practice.  Did you know they both went to RISD?

Cool Toy Store

Check out this cool toy store in Japan! Yeah!

Dream Worlds

I recently received this book as a gift and it's awesome.  Surprisingly, not many people know about it around my studio.  It's by a famous Disney production designer, Hans Bacher, and he's brilliant.  He talks about everything from artsy paintings/designs to practical compositions to his life experience.  All of things he wrote inside are fascinating and if you don't like to read,  just look at the pictures.  It definitely gives me that jolt of "inspiration" every time I open it.  This book should be in every artist's bookshelf.

First Blog Ever!

Hey, You.

Thanks for visiting.  This is my first weblog ever and I am VERY excited.  For the last few years I have seen many blogs; some of them are educational and some are inspiring!  Because of this wonderful world of internet, we are able to share info so fast and so efficiently and I guess I wanted to be a part of it.  I'll try to post anything fun, cool, exciting, useful, etc so we can all waste more time online.  At the same time, I'll try to post every week at least 1 drawing/painting/sketch for you guys to comment, bash, compliment, criticize, complain, or ignore.  

Knock yourself out...
