Summer Blonde '82

I just put this design up on Design By Humans' website for a vote! If you have minute, please take the time to place a vote, it increases the chances that it will actually get made!

Merboy Makes a Discovery in the Deep!

I’ve been exploring texture a lot in my digital work and Merboy here is a recent treasure. I’m really excited by this character, expect to see him more in the future. (p.s. you can get a print over at Inprnt if you really dig it!)

Chipettes!

The Chipettes were always my favorite part of Alvin and the Chipmunks, aside from the theme song, that is. I watched every time, mostly hoping that the girls would be on. Not only were they way more charming, their character designs were top notch and deliciously 80s. I've always had a special place in my heart for leg warmers. Veteran animator Corny Cole did the original design for the girls in 1983 and this is my take! Check out a larger version and some details on flickr!

I'm also excited about this image because it represents a place I've been trying to get stylistically and I consider it a breakthrough. More in this vein, I promise!

Happy New Year!

It's 2009 everybody! Happy New Year!

Fray Issue 2!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Fray (the quarterly of true stories and original art) Issue 2 is finally out. I Illustrated the story Star Wars Memories (p.38-39). Pick up a copy or subscription today, there's lots of great stories inside!

Hooray!

I'm on Current!

A few months ago I recorded an interview for a current_ tv spot and it's finally up! Check it out!

SDCC+

It's been awhile since my last post! A lot has happened, Artomatic has come and gone (made some great sales!), I moved (a mile away from my old home), I attended San Diego Comic-con and I've turned 30 (and I recommend Wolfgang Puck's The Source restaurant). All of which were quite a blast. Below are 2 highlights from my trip to comic-con taken by Tony.





Comic-con was a new adventure, I've never attended or been to San Diego. Got to see one of my favorite artists speak, Jim Woodring, saw Gwen Stefani's pants at the Hard Rock Hotel, ate fish tacos and doodled on my nintendo DS.

As mentioned, I moved recently, so I haven't been doing much at home other than putting my house and studio together. Work has been keeping me busy with a really fun super secret project, it's a printed piece with tons of drawings in it and I can't wait until it's released upon the world. I'll get images up here as soon as I can.

I'm also getting my gocco warmed up so I can offer some prints. All in due course. I'll keep everyone posted!

This past weekend was the opening of Yokai in Your Eye group show at the Bear and Bird Boutique + Gallery in Florida, I was unable to attend, but Amanda, the gallery owner, was able to take some really great shots of the participating artists' work and the show itself. Check out her Flickr set here.
