Doodle and painting

2011-07-13T23:15:00.000-07:00

A lion from Dailies

2009-10-12T23:10:00.000-07:00

I keep wishing I could just keep all this stuff
in a sketchbook without lines, but for some reason
drawing on lined paper during dailies gives the impression
I am listening more....

Sketches while in Dailies

2009-08-11T20:04:00.000-07:00

I drew all these while other peoples shots are
being talked about during dailies at work.
I don't really have an idea about what it is
I don't know what I will draw
when I start, it just kind of comes out.

Been a while............

2009-02-18T23:14:00.001-08:00

Just doodling during dailies again..........

And the Oscar goes to...........

2008-02-25T15:39:00.000-08:00

Rhythm & Hues!
Its a cool day here at work.
I've never seen an Oscar in person,
its pretty neat!
It was great working with an awesome group of people
on this project.

Just got a cintiq and I was playing around...

2007-07-06T10:44:00.000-07:00

This was about 20 minutes
just to test out the new toy.

Pencil sketch of an American city

2007-03-07T23:22:00.000-08:00

This was another drawing for a video game.
It was going to be a racing game set in a cyberpunk-ish world,
so this isn't anyplace in particular, but an amalgam of some American cities

Quick sketch on Cardboard

2007-02-28T07:40:00.000-08:00

This is just a doodle, done at my desk at work
while waiting for a scene to shoot.
I end up drawing on almost anything available to me
at the time.

Behold.....The nude figure models of Angmar

2007-02-05T21:19:00.000-08:00

I took a figure drawing class at the
new Chouinard Institute.
I had gone to CalArts and always heard
the greatness of our forebearers in the field
attending Chouinard. It was a fun experience and my
teacher was Alan Zaslove an old UPA guy
with a bunch of good stories

Behold.....The Dark Elf of Angmar

2007-02-05T21:15:00.000-08:00

I did this the other weekend
to use as a title illustration for a story animatic.
This was about 40 minutes from drawing to
photoshop.

Horses and pigs and basketball oh my

2007-01-26T07:51:00.000-08:00

I made an earlier post with a lion and an elephant.
This is more from that project a friend of mine
had. I was thinking of Kurt Rambis when
I drew the horse.

Scary Wolf Sketchbook entry......of doom

2007-01-26T07:44:00.000-08:00

These are just more random sketches.
I was just trying to think of how to draw
something like a werewolf that does not
rely too much on stuff I have already seen.
Thats a problem with a lot of design in
that we have to make up new and interesting characters
based on old and already viewed ideas.
So for this I was thinking of that type of crocodile
in egypt , that has the really skinny snout.

Edgar Allen Poe and junk

2007-01-15T20:53:00.000-08:00

This is a single page from my sketchbook.
I've always love Edward Gorey and
Edgar Allen Poe. Sometimes I think of them
and this is one of those times
(I had a passage from a Poe poem read at my wedding)

Just Random stuff from sketchbook doodles

2007-01-15T20:49:00.000-08:00

These were all drawn at different times.
I have an idea to link them all together but
its not too fleshed out yet, so for now
they are just random.

ITS A BOY!!!!!!!!!

2007-01-05T17:31:00.000-08:00

The busy part of the last 8 months is I now have
a baby boy! Its awesome being a Dad, and I
did murals for his nursery.
I had one other piece that I copied from Mary Blair, it was
"Its a small World" art work of giraffes.
Obviously she was an influence for the work I did.
These images are photographs taken off the wall in the room,
and I got rid of the wall in photoshop.
I don't have a great camera or light set up so there is some
glare in the artwork.......alas

At Long Last!! A New Post!!!

2007-01-05T17:24:00.000-08:00

I've been busy/lazy since April.
So here are some sketches I did while on
a short trip to Santa Barbara.

Spidery crab robot thingy

2006-04-16T09:07:00.000-07:00

This is a drawing done with marker and
then scanned. I didn't really do much to it in
photoshop except make it more blue rather then
grey.

The Horror, the Horror

2006-04-16T09:03:00.000-07:00

Still more Rob Zombie stuff filled with
the requisite scary dolls and angry circus
midgets.

Quick Sketch for work thing

2006-04-06T08:13:00.000-07:00

This is super quick sketch from my actual sketchbook(for once)
that was for someone's personal project at work.

Behold! the scary butcher

2006-04-06T08:10:00.000-07:00

This is yet another video game concept that
would have been for a Rob Zombie game.
Alas it never got off the ground.
The object in his right hand is the instrument used
to stun cattel before being slaughtered.
What Fun!

Going back to school for this one

2006-03-28T22:58:00.000-08:00

I came across a sketch I did for my last student film at
Cal Arts. I still like it unlike most other
stuff I did back then.

Sparky

2006-03-28T22:56:00.000-08:00

Cute dog dies most foully

Another Random Character

2006-03-28T22:53:00.000-08:00

This is just for fun.
I would imagine this guy to be
one of many like him

I Like Robots

2006-03-28T22:50:00.000-08:00

Just a big Robot.

Winona Ryder on "Little House on the Prarie"

2006-03-22T23:37:00.000-08:00

Well not really, but that is what I
thought it looked like after I was done

Some dark Knight

2006-03-22T23:35:00.000-08:00

This was I sketch I did for fun when
I learned the company I work for was going to do
the visual effects for Narnia. I had not
read the book, so this doesn't refer to
anything.

My Dogs with Ninjas

2006-03-22T23:27:00.000-08:00

Ninjas rule

Random Space Ship

2006-03-20T08:39:00.000-08:00

Rescue Dogs!

2006-03-20T08:29:00.000-08:00

Another piece for a job,
Somehow connected with something in Korea
I don't remember what it was exactly.

Someone that might be at Rick's bar

2006-03-16T09:11:00.000-08:00

Another video game concept piece

2006-03-16T09:06:00.000-08:00

This was another game worked on that will never see the light of day.
Not sure if thats good or bad.

More sketches from work

2006-03-16T08:28:00.000-08:00

Stuff I sketch in my note Book at Work

2006-03-15T21:18:00.000-08:00

I am constantly drawing random stuff
while waiting for notes in dailes or
waiting for the computer to do something.
Most of the time its abstract nonsense and sometimes
its stuff like this.

2006-03-14T23:40:00.000-08:00

This was originally and invitation to a Halloween
Dinner my wife and I throw each year.
I thought afterwards it would be fun to make into a bookmark.
As a kid I loved Edward Gorey and used to read a popup
book he did called "The Dwindling Party"
The drawing is ink pen, scanned, and colored in photoshop.

Zombie Girl

2006-03-14T23:35:00.000-08:00

Some sketches from working on Narnia

2006-03-14T23:15:00.000-08:00

These are quick sketches I did for myself
to try and come up with ideas on
battle sequence stuff for Narnia.
Unfortunatly I was not able to do any of these
as I was put on other sequences.

Random Character

2006-03-14T08:30:00.000-08:00

This was just for me, I think I watched a gorillaz video and drew this.
Now I think I want to work on it some more to make it less Gorillaz-ish

A scary Hallway

2006-03-13T22:27:00.000-08:00

Shriek in Terror from the Scary Hallway of Doom!
This is a concept drawing from a short stint with a
video game company. It was originally a blue col-erase
drawing that I just made gray scale when I scanned it.
(I also don't think its scary, the line above was sarcasm
and my wife just informed me that people might not read it that way
so now the long parenthetical description)

Helloooooo

2006-03-12T23:15:00.000-08:00

I will soon post art work here but not yet!
