Holiday painting and more!

Hey Everyone! Sorry for the late posting but I finished up work at Nickelodeon and now I'm at Technicolor Animation.So far, it has been a fun challenging job for sure! On another note I'll be teaching an online class on digital painting 101 with a ton of super pros! I'm pretty excited to teach again: I used to teach classes at Inland Empire back in the day and it was something I really enjoyed, even though my teaching style is just barfing out knowledge that I picked up from jumping from studio to studio. At any rate, here's a link to the new school and classes!

I also teamed up with a group of old class mates from Art Center selling monthly themed prints.  The image below is from our Winter theme.  Here is a link to our store to see more work from the various artists. http://www.etsy.com/shop/pressprint?ref=pr_shop_more

Here is a demo I did at Art Institute in Inland Empire when I subbed a class for Derek Kosol. Aging monster robots YAY!

Wooo paintin time!

Welp, its been a while and figure I would post some stuff! I'm doing some back paintings for nickelodeon right now for a pilot which I hope I can share more info on in the future, but it will be epic! EPIC!!

anyways, more paintings from a dead proj + some old figure stuff!

Tofu Girls BG!

Here are some tofu girls backgrounds. (Traci Honda designed the characters and Mike Moloney/ Griffith Kimmins) tackled the animation. We had to edit the backgrounds down but here they are in their original state. There should be a video on the www.tofugirls.com website soon but there will also be a video at comic con- check it out it! Comic-Con Preview (Booth 2445)

Time for a post!

So it is! Here is a rough character stab at Nosferatu. What ever happened to just awesome creepy vampires. I put a few explorations of style but I really wanted a cobra influence on the over all design.  Plus a random background painting for an unannounced shelved project.

The Gentlemen Thief!

So here is proj I was working on in rad's storyboarding class which I highly recommend (cool guy great class what els could you want?) basically my story is about a homeless guy who is actually an international jewel thief who steals purely for the thrills. I also attached a rough work in progress animatic- enjoy!......hopefully

epic fail

I took my 2 backup hard drives (years of mediocre work, family and friends photo's) to have them recover the data off them, only to find out the owner has lost both of my hard drives. Once I find the final versions of these guys I'll post them up. Hope you enjoy the roughs!

Hansel and Gretel are both Neanderthal and the witch is a homo-sapien killer!

Hey hey!

Woo characters from a former project! and an environment!During the holidays I had a chance to rummage through some old boxes and found this little sucka. I never really kept any of my artwork when I was growing up (I never really consider art as a career option growing up) so naturally, I trashed just about everything I did. Luckily my mother saved one little piece and here it is, I was roughly the age of 6 and I can only assume this is a wizard monster with a mouth in his stomach! good times.
