Imagine FX March 2012 Issue!!

2012-03-07T23:39:00.003-08:00

I was fortunate to have some work published in this months issue of Imagine FX. The work is old since everything got sent in sometime early last year and by the time I was able to send them new stuff I'm assuming it was too late. Check it out next time your near a bookstore. Thanks Imagine FX!!

Lift off

2012-03-06T14:39:00.002-08:00

Wanted to try something a little quicker and looser than what I usually do. I'll probably take a break from ships for a minute just to get more diversity on here.

Old Rest Stop Drawing

2012-02-28T14:16:00.002-08:00

This is an old drawing I found that I never got around to post which was based off a project I had done in the past.

Bon voyage

2012-02-25T01:52:00.004-08:00

I can probably tighten up some areas but this will do for now ;). People have been asking what my process is with doing these things, I'll post the absolute beginning of the painting when things are just blocked in when I get a chance. Enjoy!! =)

Getting Ready!

2012-02-22T00:40:00.001-08:00

Some rough sketches I did today, I'll probably pick one of these and take it to a finished level soon!!

Old Character stuff

2012-02-16T16:50:00.001-08:00

Some character sketches I did for a class awhile back. The assignment was to pick a character from the movie Dungeons and Dragons then do our own take on it picking a different era. This was supposed to be the guards from the film.

First post of the year!

2012-01-01T18:16:00.000-08:00

I hope everyone had a safe new years! Towards the end of last year I had the privilege to work at The Third Floor Inc for a film pitch with Dylan Cole art directing the project and Joshua Wassung overseeing everything else. Those people seriously know what they're doing!! I'm always going to be very thankful for them giving me the chance to work with them I learned so much and I hope we get to work together again soon. I was literally inspired everyday and loved going into work. So during this break I wanted to try to apply all the stuff I learned into my personal work and keep trying to improve myself.

Merry Christmas!!

2011-12-24T22:08:00.000-08:00

As some of you may know I make Christmas cards every year and send them out. Here is this years. Merry Christmas everyone!!
