character sketches

Been really trying to push my drawings more lately. Everything has been feeling so blah. Trying to really concentrate on playing with interesting forms.

Pirates

More children book concepts for a group of pirates

Morning warm up selfie

Attempting to tackle the day with enthusiasm..

Lifestyles of the rich and Puggish

Finally making myself use illustrator to clean up my characters. It's definitely something I should have been doing all along. Also playing with a new set of PS brushes.

Mobile game concepts

Some unused Mobile game character concepts

Pubertina: Pubertino

Did some more animation work for Pubertina! It's always super fun to work on.

Id and Ego page

Still developing these characters and ideas more. Currently throwing together some storyboards in flash. . we'll see where it goes.

Roider

Playing around with an old sketch

Donatello

Last bit of fun before more work. I've loved Ninja Turtles since I was a toddler.... and still do love them despite how ridiculous the entire concept obviously is.

Piggies

Playing around with some character concepts on my freelance and job hunting breaks. 

Happy Birthday "little" brother

Lip Sync Exercise

Did a fun lip sync exercise today while police and swat locked down the neighborhood because of people with guns? ... It was an interesting day..

PAPERCUTS ON PAPERCUTS

I've been trying to organize and find better places to store my old sketches. Rifling through sheets of paper is so much more dangerous (and painful) than it sounds.

Lunch sketch

Quick color sketch during lunch. 

Saturday sketching

Taking a break from the children's book to do some sketching. 

Dinner doodles

  Doing some doodling with my right hand while I shovel ramen into my face with the left one.

I'm FREEEEE

Just finished a bunch of job tests and freelance work. This is how I currently feel inside. 

Girl color sketch

Playing around in Photoshop 

Doodling and watching Disney movies.

Ten Directors

Ten classic directors in name tag form for a friend who works in a video store. 

For the birds

Been on a bird kick lately. Morning warm up.

Peacock

Morning warm up. Peacock style

More storybook sketches

Some more sketches for the children's book I just finished working on. It should hopefully be coming out sometime in the spring! 

The manliest of men

Made this for my father for Christmas. Without him, I would never have learned what it means to be truly manly. I don't possess any of those qualities unfortunately. 

Storybook sketches

Unused sketches for a children's book I'm currently working on.

Animal

Did a fun illustration for a friend's mixtape release.

Saturday Sketch page

In a bit of a rut. Random sketch vomit always helps. 

Scribbles and scratches

Started a little tumblr for all my sketches that happen randomly throughout the day and just end up piling and being forgotten. Go to there.

The Field

Trying to work more with color and light. I have been concentrating too much on singular characters and not practicing large compositions with multiple elements. Time to stretch the legs! 

Return of the blog

Finally getting time to play around. Going to try to make this a regular happening. 

Pubertina: Rusty Sprinkler

So I haven't updated this in awhile... But it's only because I've finally been incredibly busy again thankfully. A new full time job and a bunch of freelance has taken away the free time. Anywho, I recently animated an episode of Emily Brundige's "Pubertina" which premiered today on the youtubes. It's normally animated by the very talented Josh Herron but I was lucky enough to get to step in for an episode. Enjoy!

Lazy Sunday

Having a relaxing Sunday sketching the activity outside my window. My apartment faces the street and it is a constant source of entertainment. I've seen everything from homeless people romances to a man hunt run by police. I probably stare out my window more than I watch TV.

Top of the sky

Doing some more playing in photoshop and really enjoyed playing with colors on this one. I'll probably make more than one version of this guy. But for now, sleep.

Park sketches

                                          Spent a little relaxing time at the park the other day.
