Death by TV

Painting coming soon.

A few gesture drawings from last semester ...

More work fun.

I like how it looks like one of his eyes is falling out.

Bringing wtf to work.

I like being able to make absurd drawings and get paid to do so. These are for an energy drink company. Don't ask why cause I don't know.

The logo rape continues ...

Here is the post-rape logo that my boss likes. This is almost how everything I work on gets handled. Sometimes after he doesn't like my original design, I make it look as crappy as possible. Usually only then he is happy.

Giving into the bossman.

So I love my job because of it's artistic freedom, but when it comes to designing things, my boss thinks he knows better. I'll come up with some cool design and then the bossman rapes it. "Try adding some pink and orange to the blue logo". Baaaaaaaw! Anyhow, here is a logo that I liked.

Photoshop goodness

Here's some fun stuff that I dug up ... and yeah, that guy needs some pants or something.

Life is absurd.

So I wasn't able to upload due to a faulty router. Replaced it, and realized that I should upload something. Here's some goods from character design class (Thank you Ryan!!) . Enjoy! and girls are lame. The end.

Some procedural fun!

dating is fun

I drew this today after I casually asked Jeniece what she would say if I still lived in AZ and asked her to be my girl friend. She said no. Hurray for denial!

Char char!

More character designs from class. So much fun.

Chutney and the B

Character design class project to see who did and didnt get in the program. Man ... that day was tense.

Don't put it in the bad pile!!! Please no!

I love my char design class! sooo much fun. Here's some stuff for it ...

Unlikely Heros 4 T-Shirt Design

So my friend Beerman makes old school PC RPGs. He created a series appropiately titled "Unlikely Heros". It featured friends and ourselves as the main characters.

Anyhow, he's working on the 4th installment ... which means I'll be very busy making lots of art (cinematics, drawings, designs) for the game. Here is the shirt design:

Cars and Monster House

A while back I went and saw Pixar's Cars with some animation buddies of mine. I was quite disappointed with it. Visually/technically it was gorgeous ... but the story, characters, and their design were lame.

And then came Monster House. I had really mixed feelings with this one. Before it came out, I thought of it as a movie I would see when it hit the dollar theature. Fortunately I got free tickets for it when I was in SanDiego. It was actually a pleasent surprize. While it's not the greatest animation out there, the story, character designs, and style was fresh. It did not feel like a kids movie though ... it was dark, slightly twisted, and felt a bit cold. While I tend to like that over the "Happy-you-know-whats coming" feel to Cars, it was a bid odd.

So tonight I discovered why it had the gloomy feeling that it does. Chris Appelhans was one of the lead designers. He is one of my favorite illustrators. He has a darker style that gives fresh perspectives on characters and enviroments. I wouldn't call it happy art ... more like reflective art. It makes you think about yourself and your life.

Good work!

Off the WoW crack, preparing for school

That's right, no more WoW until the expansion. I'm on my new eat/breath/sleep art schedule so expect lotsa updates often. Here are some random sketch scans to start with.

I'm a true geek ...

So Brant showed me this amazing site: www.bluelaguna.net. You can download soundtracks from various RPGs. They also have other tribute-to-games soundtracks. These last couple of days have been quite interesting. Today I was listening to a Final Fantasy X tune ... but in a Heavy Metal version ... with some guy singing opera.

I think I'm still laughing ... good stuff!

Quail on a Plane!!

My uncle gave me a big lectur on how I need to spend my time more wisely ... so I spent many hours of my Sunday afternoon creating this. And yes, I know the plural of Quail is Quail.

oh .... OOOH! ...crap!

One of the big bosses of WoW...
