The impression I got when I drove home on the Bay Bridge tonight.
(Right before the Toll Plaza)
SF has such strange weather patterns...

Warm Up

A morning warm up that got a little bit more involved.

Sorry about the lack of posts lately. My colleagues and I are trying to put a book together for Comicon... I've been working on new pieces for that.

More updates soon.

Gouache Landscape

If you haven't done so already, make sure you check out Erik Tiemens' awesome gouache demo on his blog. Really inspiring...

I was super pumped to paint after watching his demo... and here is my attempt.
Erik makes it look too easy...

Junkyard

Random image for the new year... the year is still relatively new right?

Here's to wishing everyone a productive 2008!

Paint Sketch

Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to attend a presentation of Dinotopia by the incredible Mr. James Gurney.

Wow.. such skill, passion, and dedication.. Amazing...

So inspiring was his work he got me to not watch tv tonight and paint something!
Cant decide who lives here... maybe dinosaurs... but I can't draw dinosaurs...

Merry Xmas everyone!

DS Painting

Ok ok, is it too late to jump onto the DS Painting bandwagon?!
Just got all the parts today and had to do a test run.

This is too fun.

Like Benjamin P. said, switching up media can help fuel inspiration.
Can't wait to take this baby out and do some actual DS Plein air...
