Sketchbook

My friends, James and Irene.

Some dudes.

Zoo Drawings

Griffith Park Observatory.

Random stop at the Pet Store.

 I stumbled upon a pet shop, and the critters inspired me to draw.

These guys had the most beautiful mix of colors, and way brighter than my renderings. 

Frantic little guys. The first one from the middle was trying to sleep. The second one in the middle was hurt me thinks.

Chillin.'

Beautiful young dog, very friendly. He looked like a golden retriever.

"Will you adopt me?"

Sketchin': The Grove

Both @ Barnes & Noble

Late Night Painting Sesh.

This was inspired by my sketch of Yosemite Falls down below, but also the location itself. The colors there are absolutely dazzling.

Paintin' in Painter.

Original sketch done on location.

Sketchin: L.A. Farmer's Market #1

Buff Man Readin'

Corel Painter has been sitting on my computer for a year and a half...and I just now really started experimenting..and I'm very much enjoying it. :)

Girl at Starbucks.

I command you!

Cute Girl.

A quick sketch of a really cute girl at the Cafe I was at. She was married. :/

Destitute.

I saw this man at a Jack n the Box a few years ago. He was the most destitute man I'd ever seen.

Jazzy Sketches

I love drawing to live music. Lots of energry, and I find that it makes my drawing better too! Most of the players here are from the band, "The Downbeats,"who play mostly every Wednesday night at the Downbeat Cafe in Echo Park. They're awesome!

Bustin' out the flute! He also plays sax and harmonica!

This guy was in a jazz band at Disneyland in New Orleans Square....wearing zuit suits and all!

2012.

This guy started off my new year, hehehe. He was generous  enough to have his bike radio on the Blues station. I now listened to that station in my car :)

So new year, new resolutions. I think the first will be to freakin keep my blog updated! So I'm thinking of doing some new stuff than the typical 'postings'.  I'm brainstorming as to how to get creative with what I should post as opposed to just sketchbook and art. Perhaps everyday could be a different themed post ? Any ideas?    Hmmm, now my brain is kickin.'  :)

Happy New Year!

Getting back into Typography :0)

Hip.

Amazing Hair.

These sketches were done a while back. I was simply hooked on drawing this person's hair. The way it flowed from her hat to her shoulder was so appealing. It made really graphic S-curves and shapes.....*sigh, I tried so hard to capture it but I feel like I came up short. 

Musically Inclined.
