Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon*

I was ashamed to post a sketch after such a long absence, so here's a painting from a lil while back. This was super random and lots of fun.

I was a bit overwhelmed with work lately "etc, etc, etc!" (yes, it's a "the king and i" reference). Bah, I really need to make up for this long silence, and I will soon! Stay tuned.

*a really fun queen song.

Holiday Note

It's true that I said I wanted to break into random houses and replace everyone's gifts with coals. It's also true that I ruined Christmas, on Part Time Dreamers, a blog I have with some really talented artist friends of mine. Still, I wanted to see you all off to your holiday plans with on a sweeter note.

Happy Holidays, everyone! Hope the new year brings the best of all to you.

More Fashion!

I feel like I'm getting a little carried away with all this, haha. Still, this is so much fun! It's a great way to relax when I can afford to take a break from work. These are digital, I've actually done some india ink ones tonight as well which are waiting to be scanned still.
Hope you like it!

After A Short Break...

...I picked up my brushes and did some fashion type illustrations. There is a whole batch of them on a sketchbook, but I keep forgetting it in my car.

Personally, I find water-soluble media (inks, watercolor, and gouache especially) more capable of delivering these kinds of drawings/paintings better. I've seen really cool ones in pen, pencil and marker but there is something about your control over the consistency of paint that can't be matched. Sigh. I love gouache!

Whose Voyage, What Voyage?

The Voyage show is now concluded. The pieces are down, but there are rumors that there will be a round 2! Thanks you for those who came out, it was a great get together with so many talented people at once. We have Cecil Kim to thank for the whole production, and some really delicious food!

Snowball Fight

Here's a preview of the piece I have in the upcoming Snowball Fight show of The Nomad Gallery.

I'm very honored to be in the same show as so many artists I look up to!

It will take place on Dec 5th (Yes, that's this Saturday), from 6:00-9:00pm at the Los Angeles Meeting And Event Center on 10601 W. Washington Blvd.

I know this is super short notice (sorry!), but feel free to stop by and say hi!

On Eating

Everyone's way of eating is so interesting and gives away things about their personality in a very unique, compact way. I loved this man's attitude as he was preparing that bite for himself.

More Sketches

As you might guess after seeing the guy in the top hat, some of these aren't from life. But who cares?

I haven't lived...

Don't know why I haven't painted this before! Had a blast, even though I had to paint them twice due to photoshop crashing. Oh yea, that's why I don't have the guy who's eating his own guts...

Dogs

are rad.
