K..... I've been busy, but I've been drawin'....... so it's cool :]

Tryin' something different, making digital adjustments to a recent acrylic painting. I might use it as a reference and take it back to the original

Alright so I haven't posted in about..... a long time, but that should be different now! Is this sad?
I can honestly say I've been keeping busy, though. Here's proof. It's me website. DA-dada-DAAAA

Sketches at the optometrist using me ballpoint pen and a pencil sketch done later. They each look a little different from the original. I know that's often the case when dealing with reproductions but as of late my scanners been yielding some.... interesting results. *shrug* aw well (O_o) (^_^)

so the semester isn't quite over....

2008-05-15T20:14:00.000-07:00

things have still been relatively busy, and I'm glad....
these are some panels from the graphic novel experiment I did in honors studio this semester

almost there

2008-05-01T20:07:00.001-07:00

The semester's almost over. It's had its ups and downs, but things turned out well, a lot of experience and gained and lessons learned. I got into the society of illustrators in LA and New York and I'll be in the Summer issue of CMYK Magazine. I've felt like a zombie for the past month but I'd like to think it builds character and resolve. :]

This is an animation I worked on this semester with a friend in 2d img and movement class. I loves me some animation. Took a lot of time but a lot of fun too. Turn the music up!

growth

2007-12-20T16:25:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I feel like I'm growing too fast in one area and then too slow in another. But I know I'm where I'm suppose to be, and I'm going to keep moving forward. :]

A process drawing for a side-project and an independent study piece. I've been working on my oils. :[]

two new pieces

2007-11-30T17:57:00.000-08:00

I haven't posted in a while. However, I have much more to show now. Here are two pieces for my graphic essay class. I'm pretty excited about both. I was striving for high emotional content with these illustrations. Any feedback is appreciated. :]

and uhhhh I have some new pictures (O_o)

2007-09-18T20:38:00.000-07:00

To be consistent with my other post, I'll be brief. :)
I had an eventful summer at Kings Dominion, drawing caricatures. I learned a lot and cherish the new friendships made.
These pictures are for my concept art class. The assignment is to create character designs for "Serenity." I'd like to rework some of them.
Comments? :}

2007-05-26T06:07:00.000-07:00

Some pages from the comic I worked on this past semester for sequential imaging. These are pages 1-5 of 9 total.(About the red noses and so on..... they're just so much fun to do) :]

semester winds down..... kinda

2007-05-03T19:57:00.000-07:00

The semester comes to a close, and I'm looking forward to the break. Yataaaa!
Here are some cards I designed for my digital drawing class.

some of what I've been up to

2007-03-29T19:23:00.000-07:00

Some work I've done this semester. All for my digital drawing class. :]

here's the product

2007-03-08T08:39:00.000-08:00

The last post was preparation. This post is the project. The assignment was to redesign a listed person/ character. The changes I made weren't huge. Of the buntline specials, I'm not sure if Wyatt Earp had one two or none. In this piece there are two.

mmmmblooooooog

2007-03-04T09:45:00.000-08:00

Now I have a blog like my friends. Yaaaaay. Where shall I begin hrrrrrm? Well it's the second semester of my junior year, studying illustration at VCU. Here are some things I put in my sketchbook yesterday. I'm preparing for a digital piece and getting acquainted with the subject, Wyatt Earp. Western themes intrigue me.

I painted Mr. Earps legendary weapon, the "buntline special," from reference. A striking characteristic is the barrel, noted to be at 12 inches in length. I forgot to add the sight. (O_o)
