Luis-Zapata

My senior vice president as Zapata. Posting this is probably not a good career move.

Tiffany

Tiff is a friend at work. I did this one awhile back. I think it was during a big group b-day lunch for her.

Me by John Quinn

This was a drawing of me by John Quinn. He drew it during a life drawing class quite a few years ago. I eventually drew one of him and we traded. I definitely got the better end of the deal. I'm so honored to have an original drawing from John (and of myself no less).

dog days

Drawings from an animatic I've made for my friend's wedding video.

Ryan's Blog

my buddy Ryan at work just put up his photo blog. I think it's worth checking out. This is one of his pics.

the bow bow room

wandered in a small bar in Chinatown San Francisco. I think it was called the Bow Bow room. The smoke filled room was full of character. I was intrigued by the guy in front. He never looked up except to order drinks. He was there for quite ahile and suddenly left. He tried to skip out on his tab. I sketched this on site and later redrew it on wood to paint it.

yosemite in october

I took the ink drawings I've done in Yosemite and toned them on the computer. Just playing around with textures to get a nostalgic look. this first one was just outside the town of Oakhurst on the way to Yosemite. Miles and miles of farmland dotted with oaktrees....right now the landscape is all golden. It's the real California gold.

This is a painting of the gorge in Rainbow Falls. We took a bike ride down for 15 miles and hiked a couple to the falls. This was my view as I'm eating my lunch.

just got back from an extened weekend in Yosemite...wish I was still there. will post those drawings soon but here is a little sketch.

el matador

croquil pen and ink. I got into inks for awhile...pens, brushes, sticks, fingers, whatever...I loved the ink!...at least for a little awhile.

i.f. "quiet"

This is a painting I did for a gallery group show called "Remixing the Magic" at Gallery 1988 (last year). Artists were invited to re-interpret Disney characters based on their experiences and influences from the Disney films.

"Jungle Book" was one of my all time favorites. What I remember most was the blissful contentment of Mowgli and Baloo as they simply live off the land and the bond they have with each other. I chose to depict that quiet moment between the two as they past the hours away by the slow moving river in the late afternoon. I thought this would be appropriate for an i.f. post.

bar sketch on site with my laptop. I was using Painter 8 which I do not like anymore.

go go girl

Watercolors from "The Drawing Club".

i.f. "phobia"

Clowns are my my phobia...in this case, Corporate Clowns. Acrylics on paper...Moleskin sketchbook. First time using it. I love this skechbook.

"Mr. I"

An old illustration test based off Paul Rogers poster for The Incredibles.

"Match"

This is my entry for illustrationfriday.com. The theme is "Match". This is my first time submitting something there. It was a fun excercise. It was reccomended to me by Nicolette Davenport. BTW, check out her new webite. I think it's pretty cool.

This is was done awhile back from a Drawing Club session.

'eads

These are heads from various sketches. I was just playing around with different photoshop filters. I have many many sketchbooks of just heads. I will be posting them soon.
