Some Process Sketches and Finished Layout

Hey!  CTN was a blast and I am going to be exhibiting again next year!  I met so many great people and artists that I truly admire.  I am so behind on my postings here and on my other sites.  Here are a few prelim-sketches and finished layout from a project I completed a little while ago.  Really fun piece to paint and to work out.  The characters were ton of fun to create too!  Initially I had thought of possibly having more a standing tree as part of the focal point in the comp but found that the broken/rotted log gave a little more story and interest to the piece.  I am currently working on a number of new layouts and characters in between work and sleep.  I hope to post those very soon.  As always, thank you for stopping by!

CTNX 2013!

Hello Everyone!  Long time no post.  Sorry.  I am here with some good news.  I graduated over the summer from Art Center College of Design and have been working, so I cannot complain.  CTN is coming up and instead of just attending it this year, I am going to have a table!  My friend Michael Okey and I are sharing a table in the New Talent Tent.  Michael was a classmate of mine at Art Center and I am very honored to be sharing a table with him.  If you get a chance, check out his work.  If you are at CTN please stop by though, we will have some new work to look at and a few goodies.  See you there and I promise to post some new work soon.

 

Quick Post

    Here is just a quick post of a painting I finished recently.

Okay just a quick sketch...

Just one of the characters for a new project! There is more to come once I finish the final character sheets.  I'm trying to complete a Zbrush sculpt of the griffin too.  Thanks for stopping by!

Mad Dash!

I know, I know!  I haven't posted anything recently but I have my reasons.  I am graduating this summer so I am hard at work finishing up pieces for my portfolio and grad wall.  So when I am all squared away I'll have a massive post chock-full of new beauties for your viewing pleasure.  At least that's the plan! ;) For now here is a quick sketch from one of my current classes.  Thanks for stopping by!

8th Term is Complete!

-->

     Yes, I am still alive!  I have been so busy that I have not been able to post in quite some time.  I’m headed into my final term and there is a ton of work to be posted.  I am finalizing a few paintings, working on a side project, and working on several pieces for my grad wall at Art Center.  I will however, post a small number of sketches today from a few school projects.  I want to post a few from a personal project but, I think I'll wait till they are little further developed.  All of these are from a class taught by Paul Rogers.  Thank you for taking a look! 

  

Quick Post Dewey Cox Gig Poster

I know, I haven't posted in quite some time, but I will try and make up for it soon.  I have a lot of new work to post and I am really excited to share it.  So, for now here is a screen-printed poster I did for a class called Graphic Design For Entertainment.  The instructor (Paul Rogers) is great and I am learning a lot from him.  I'm really excited to see how the rest of the term comes out.  Now I can't post this without thanking my best friend Jim Mazza for helping me print it.  Without his help it wouldn't have turned out half as good since I have never screen-printed anything.  Check out his work, he's an amazing artist.
