Dragon Head

Here's a sketch from church yesterday. For some reason I draw alot of dragons. Not quite sure why. Oh well. Enjoy.

Rocket Road Trip

Hey everyone. This is something I've been sitting on for awhile. I made a webcomic. I've actually been on it for about 5 months now. It's been alot of fun but I didn't want to post much about it till I had done enough of them that I was sure I would keep doing it. Most people who start doing webcomics end up doing like 5 of them and then quitting and never coming back. I wanted to do it long enough that I felt semi comfortable with it and had enough to share with eveyone. that being said here it is. Me and a friend of mine at work, Isaac Stewart are writing it and then I draw it up give it to him and he adds the text and throws it up online. You can find them all at rocketroadtrip.com . I suggest going back to the begining of the strip and reading through. Some of the stories are sequential in nature and I think it reads better that way. Enjoy.

Koloss

Did this piece a little while back. It was for a friend of mine who is an author named Brandon Sanderson. This is one of the creatures in his Mistborn series (which totally rocks by the way). I had started doing some sketches that were a bit more realistic (the books are serious in nature not silly like my drawings) but I quickly figured out that I should just stick to my strengths and draw a koloss my own way. It was alot of fun. I've got a few more like this one coming up soon. Brandon's books rock by the way. You should go check them out or check out his website where he has tons of free downloads and cool stuff. brandonsanderson.com Enjoy.

Biking

Just a quick sketch. Hope ya'll like! Enjoy.

Great Scott!

Had alot of fun with the Hulk yesterday so I decided to do another quick digital sketch. So here it is. A friend of mine at work asked me if I had some time to design a character kind of like in the game Team Fortress 2. The characters in that game look great so I said I would. Well a couple months later here's my first sketch of him. Just a head shot so far, but it's a start. I think I'll give him a kilt. Enjoy.

You won't like me when I'm hungry!

Went and saw Incredible hulk today with some friends at work. Not sure exactly how I feel about it. It was fun and had alot of the Hulk just beating the ever loving snot out of stuff (always a plus). Not my favorite movie of the summer. Still fun enough to inspire a quick sketch. (that and I haven't posted anything here for a long time. Sorry) Enjoy.

When in doubt....Elephants!

So it feels like I've been doing some art but I guess I haven't as much as I thought, and the stuff I have done I can't put up here. So I'll give you some more elephants. With these ones I feel I'm really getting into it and having some fun with the shapes on them. Enjoy.

Football

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything artish. What can I say. I guess I've just been lazy. This a sketch I did yesterday at church. It's done with a ball point pen which I don't normally use. I prefer to have a pencil so I can erase if I need to (and I often do). This one turned out well though. Sometime's it's nice to change things up. Enjoy.

Keflings Episode 1

Hey- this is a commercial we did for work- kinda fun!

Happy Birthday!

Last thursday was my wife's birthday. I had gotten her some stuff for her birthday but she was with me when we bought it. So I wanted to suprise her with something and decided to do this. I've drawn her a few times and the results have never been good. I always get nervous about making it look like her which of course makes me screw up the drawing and it looks bad. This time I decided to play to my strengths and just make it cartoony and cute. This was the end result and I'm pretty happy with it. She seemed to like it too so that's nice. Enjoy.

Pug Dog

Here's another pug dog. I seem to draw quite a lot of these don't I? This one was inspired by a drawing of a pug by Elaine Bogan. You can check out her stuff at theeelblog.blogspot.com The pug on her blog is just gorgeously hideous and I had to draw another. I drew it a couple sunday's ago at church and just colored it up for a bit of fun. Enjoy.

Secret Agent Chimp

Thought you all might enjoy this little sketch I did at church on Sunday. Won't know hwy I drew it but I did. Enjoy.

Dia de los Muertos Painting

This is a painting I started last october. I really love the Dia de los Muertos stuff down in Mexico. I find it cool that they deal with death and skeletons and all that in such a way. Sure there's skeletons and stuff, but they all look so cheerful and colorful. I love it. So the other day I pulled this out and put a few touches on it and I'm calling it done. enjoy.

More Elephants

Here's a few more elephants from the sketchbook. enjoy.

Happy Ocho de Mayo

This was a drawing I did the other day for Cinco de Mayo and never got to put it up. It's a bit late, but I still like the drawing so here you go. enjoy.

Once upon a mattress

Last night I went and saw my little sisters production of "Once upon a Mattress". She was the lead in it and she was awesome. When I heard she had gotten the lead I decided I would like to draw her something kind of cool in celebration of it. This is what I came up with. For those who don't know the story in "Once upon a Mattress" is basically a comical telling of the Princess and the Pea. It was tons of fun. Enjoy.

CD cover

This last week my brother emailed me and asked me to do some art for a CD cover for him. He had written a small musical and was getting together everything to make a CD out of it. The title of the play is (I'm pretty sure) "I'm Dying". He wanted me to play with the Happyface/Sadface drama masks only to have them both be sad. This is what I was able to come up with. I didn't have too much time, but I'm still pleased with how it turned out. It was also really fun to just paint soetehing a bit different and go with the flow. Enjoy.

Flowers for my wife

I love getting my wife flowers. It's something so small and yet it just makes her day. Sometimes if I'm out getting milk or whatever I will also get her one of those small bouquets that don't cost too much (wish I could afford more but that whole starving artist thing). Yesterday my wife had kind of a hard day and I wanted to do something for her and I couldn't go get her some flowers so this morning I did this instead. I hope she likes them.

Elephants on Parade!

So I've started yet another sketchbook. This one has a special purpose. It's my elephant sketchbook. I've done something like this before. The basic idea is to fill a sketchbook with just one animal. This really helps to start understanding the anatomy of the animal and just how far I can push a drawing. It also helps me to make new shapes and take a different approach at things. After I've done 10 or so elephants I start looking for new ways of drawing them, or things I'd missed in the past. It's really alot of fun to try and draw a completely different elephant everyday. Some days work better than others but I'm having alot of fun learning. here's five of the first ones. Plenty more to come. If you really want to see some cool elephant drawings go check out Andrew Shek's blog elephantart.blogspot.com . Gorgeous stuff. Enjoy.

Ninja Bee Video

The company I work for, Ninja Bee, is making the Doritos Unlock Xbox game. It's a fun project. Basically a dinosaur runs around destroying buildings and trying to eat a Doritos delivery truck. Doritos is documenting the whole process and the latest video just got released online. I'm in a few parts of it so I thought I would pass it along. It's pretty fun stuff. You should know that the mustache in the video is a result of Mustache March a contest we did here at work. It was my idea to get everyone at work to grow a hideous mustache. It was pretty fun. They decided to incorporate it into the video so you all get to see me in my hideous mustachioed glory. Anywho, enjoy the video.
