Expose 10

Hey some of my art is being published in the new Expose 10 magazine. Thanks Ballistic Publishing! Go here if you want to get a copy or two....or three. Tell your friends!

Its been a while since my last post but to be honest I've just been too busy with both full time and freelance work to bother with anything personal. Hopefully after my last batch of freelance has passed I'll be able to get back to painting. Anyway, why am I posting then you ask? Well imaginary friend, I saw a really good movie today. Actually I've been wanting to go see this movie for weeks now but every person I've asked to go see it with me has found ways to blow me off so I decided to go old school and watch it alone. Thank you status quo. I've always been a big fan of Wes Andersons films from Bottle Rocket to now Moonrise Kingdom. Anderson, best known for his particular "style" of film has always had a fair balance of both style and substance to his films something that can't so easily be said for other "style" diven directors like Tim Burton and Quentin Tarantino. If you enjoy Wes's other films like The Life Aquatic or The Darjeeling Limited than this film should fit right into your tastes and you shouldn't hesitate to go see it. But then again you've probably already seen this film before me and don't need my endorsement. For everyone else, if you are a fan of good interesting movies with substance and heart and are looking for that first really good movie of the year you should give this film a try.

Also attached is some old art that I did for World of Warcraft last year. As soon as my sister gets around to mailing my proofs of these designs they will be available for purchase. All of the designs were mostly digital so don't bother asking for originals. cheers

Cupertino sketchbook

I've pretty much abandoned all my other sketchbooks and have started on a new one. This one is my Cupertino sketchbook. Its mostly of studies I've found off the internet and coworkers in meetings. There is one big difference in this sketchbook from my others though. I'm going to draw in it entirely in pen or more specifically ballpoint pen. I've always used a pencil as a crutch so as not to make any mistakes. But I'm taking a baby step and drawing all my new stuff in pen now.

Life Drawing in San Jose.

I haven't painted in oil at all since moving up to Cupertino. I've been just too busy. Usually that is a bullshit statement but I really have been too busy with work and moving and adjusting that I haven't been able to do anything but the essentials. I have done one thing tho and thats returned to Life Drawing. It's something I haven't done since 2009 at Pat's studio in SD. I've been going to San Jose State's life drawing workshops whenever I have openings from work. The pics above are some of my better ones of my 4 or so trips to SJSU. They are mostly all 2's and 5's with one 10 minute page from my first day back. I'm pretty rusty but I'm not as bad as I was expecting. I guess my life drawing muscle hadn't completely atrophied.

Well we're movin on up!

To the east siiiiide! Actually the north side but who doesn't love the Jeffersons?
I moved! I have left my native soil of San Diego and went north to Cupertino for new adventures and well...stability. My new full time job is with Playmesh and now I'm helping make this awesome game called Valor you can get on your mobile phone here. I still get to do the freelance work too so its WIN WIN! Plus the people up here are really nice. Also above is my last drawing I did in San Diego almost a month ago.
