Babies everywhere!

2011-10-16T20:31:00.000-07:00

...well, just one really. I'm now an Aunt! My brother and his wife recently brought a lovely baby boy into this world, and they asked me to help with baby shower card designs and nursery decor. So I drew for them a VW bus... because when you think of babies, you think of VW buses, right? ;) Nah, they actually have a beachy theme going on in the nursery, so the surfboards tie it together. I never draw cars, but I tried my best!

The photograph is of a wall hanging painted in acrylic, with the colors adjusted to fit in with the bedroom. It's about 30"x45" on plywood.

Nerdy things

Nerdy doodles in paint! Acrylic on 6"x6" boards.

So fancy!

2011-04-24T18:23:00.000-07:00

I fancified a boring wooden box with a dragon! Everything is fancier when it's decorated with a cute dragon ;)
Painted with acrylics... the lid is 6.5"x4.5"

Skateboard deck painting

2010-08-11T00:23:00.000-07:00

I bought this blank skateboard back when I was in the fourth grade, and I've just now taken the time to paint it. Sheesh... so lazy! ;)
It's acrylic on an old Z-Flex blank deck with one tail, old skool 80's style. Made for hanging, not for riding!

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet.

Cats like ice skating too...

2009-12-23T01:20:00.001-08:00

Merry Christmas, peeps :)

Now in color!

Skates!

2009-09-21T23:01:00.000-07:00

I bought some super cute dead stock eighties skates. I'm usually an inline skater, so I feel like I'm relearning to skate, but they were too awesome to pass up! They're really bright and colorful with rainbows on the side... I'll have to clean up and color this sketch for full effect :)

Bike!

2009-08-13T21:19:00.000-07:00

I took my bike in for a tune up this week... and now it's quite awesome :)

Time for a new post?

2009-08-07T21:09:00.000-07:00

Yes. Yes it is.

It's Springtime!

2009-04-10T12:35:00.000-07:00

I've been working on a short comic that involves a bunny... although it's not a about an angry, sausage-fingered, man-boob bunny. I'll post something more accurate to the story later ;) Happy Easter, peeps!

Purchase of the day...

2009-01-04T00:47:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas!

Been working on some personal stuff... I'll update with photos as I make progress :)

"Homer and Lisa Exchange Cross Words"

2008-11-11T19:31:00.000-08:00

An episode of the Simpsons I worked on earlier this year is airing this Sunday, the 16th. Set your TiVos and check it out! ...and watch the Character Layout credits ;)

Skinny Cat Sculpt

2008-08-04T02:05:00.000-07:00

This is an oldie that sat half done on my desk for over a year, but I finally pulled it down and finished it. It was based on a sketch I posted long, long ago. So skinny!

p.s. I shaved off his eyebrows. He was already weird enough ;)

Hellboy in pink

2008-07-07T00:41:00.000-07:00

I can't draw guns, so don't look at that part ;)

2008-06-04T00:39:00.000-07:00

I did this logo a for a My Little Pony collectors convention... haha, no, I didn't go ;) ...but I might've if it had been closer to home! hehehe. Her name is 'Tooley Fog', and that swirly thing on her butt is supposed to represent fog. This post does not cater to all the guys that read this blog... sorry! ;) I'll have to draw some Transformers or something to make up for it.

2008-06-01T00:12:00.000-07:00

Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........... out of ideas....... brain meelllltingggg.....

Old Skool

2008-05-19T00:47:00.000-07:00

When I was seven, I wanted to be a comic book artist!

Oh, and Timothy's friends are ants, in case that wasn't clear, haha ;)

2008-02-27T22:28:00.000-08:00

'ween.

2007-11-02T00:18:00.000-07:00

The pumpkin isn't terribly exciting, but I had to find the time to carve it in-between stitching my fingers together with the sewing machine :P
Hope you guys had a fun day yesterday! :)

blog neglect

2007-09-09T23:36:00.000-07:00

I've been crazy busy at work... drawing lots of cute stuff, but I cannot post it here, dangit!

So here are some scribble-doodles to fill this black hole of a blog. :)

2007-08-10T01:06:00.000-07:00

Crappy drawing? Add a cat to make it better!

Nerd-Fest 2007

2007-07-13T11:36:00.000-07:00

Comic-Con 2007 is just a few weeks away, so here's a glamorous drawing to celebrate. I actually drew a whole gaggle of various Comic-Con enthusiasts, so more may appear on this post soon. Ohhh, how I look forward to spending loads of time shoulder to shoulder with smelly, sweaty, fart-y nerds! (with emphasis on the fart-y). ;) ewww...

Work Field Trip

2007-07-02T21:48:00.000-07:00

No art in this post... sorry!
One of the local 7-11 stores here in Burbank turned into a Kwik-E-Mart to promote the upcoming movie, so a bunch of my coworkers and I took a trip over there at lunchtime today. The place was packed with folks buying Squishees, Buzz cola, and all sorts of Springfield paraphernalia.
It's a Simpsons-nerd paradise! ;) Definitely check it out if you're in the area. :)

doodle dump

2007-06-13T23:59:00.001-07:00

Many creepy beasts and people worktime-doodles :)

technical stuff

2007-05-14T02:10:00.000-07:00

Thanks you guys for the comments in the last post :) I had a tiny bit of downtime this weekend to work on my own stuff, so I figured I'd make a new post... even though this is pretty rough and in need of tweaking. I'd like to do a sculpt of this guy, so I've attempted a little turn for a guide. I'll see if it's accurate once I start modeling in clay ;)

2007-04-11T20:36:00.000-07:00

Ok, I keep getting prodded to update... so here goes. It's been work work work lately, but I try to take little doodle breaks while I'm making progress on my scenes. The weirdness above is a little bit of that :)

Not cats.

2007-01-14T20:54:00.000-08:00

Work has been kicking my butt, and I've really been neglecting my personal drawing time. I still find myself taking little breaks to doodle on post-its, so I figured I'd might as well put them to use and update this thing :) Unfortunately, my post-its are small, so these pigs have no bodies :(

Happy New Year!

2007-01-01T21:17:00.000-08:00

I missed out on a proper Christmas picture, but I wanted to catch at least one of the holidays. I hope everyone had fun these past few weeks! Now it's time to go back to work :(

brrrrrr

2006-11-30T00:44:00.000-08:00

It's cold in Los Angeles! Time for hot cocoa and fashionable earmuffs :)

me :)

2006-11-21T22:55:00.000-08:00

Well, I suppose I should be posting something more festive, turkey-like and less narcissistic... but well, I guess I have a few days to try and make up for it ;) Work has been intense and I haven't had much time for internetting, but I wanted to freshen the blog and thank you guys for all the nice comments. I will catch up with commenting and new blog investigating over the holiday!
Eat lots of stinky turkey, sleep, and watch the parade! :)

Many, many heads... so very scribbly. Halloween leftovers at the bottom. (warning, may contain cats).

Post-its

2006-09-11T23:35:00.000-07:00

Scribbly phone doodles. There was mass of them scattered on my floor, so I threw a few on the scanner.

2006-09-01T01:22:00.000-07:00

Hello again blog. Long time, no see.

Cheee-kin

2006-07-10T00:39:00.000-07:00

Here is a tiny chicken to tide y'all over until I have something worth posting ;) A little walk cycle of a side character for a Disney Channel mini-show I worked on..."Lou and Lou: Safety Patrol". If you've got little ones, you should check it out :) I see they've put up a website for the show here.

drink up!

2006-06-14T21:26:00.000-07:00

A thumbnail for an acrylic painting I never did. Pretend it's real media ;)

Cute...beast sculpt

2006-06-06T23:23:00.000-07:00

This dude was a unused design for one of my previous jobs. It was just a sketch, but I attempted to sculpt it just for fun. I have aspirations of getting into toy design :)

Pointy hands

2006-05-22T22:26:00.000-07:00

Damon insisted that I draw this... he's obviously insane.

How about a skinny cat

2006-05-14T22:33:00.000-07:00

...for good measure.
