3B Show

Tonight I went to Gallery 1988 in Santa Monica to the opening reception of the 3B Show, where they showcased artwork inspired by the 3B films: Back to the Future, Beetlejuice, and Bill and Ted. Lots of great stuff. My fellow Calartian, Benton "story artist on regular show" Connor, had his art displayed and had one sold! Wooot, go Benton! The biggest attraction had to be the two Back to the Future DeLorean replicas parked outside on the street, gull wing doors open for anyone to sit and have a photo opp. There was also a cool little used book store, a hat store, and a coffee shop next door to the Gallery, so the area was full of hipsters.
The night was bitter sweet, which I will illustrate in a comic. Hopefully. If I remember.

1.21  Gigawatts!

Benton next to  his award winning masterpiece....Ok, he didn't win any award, but at least it will now adorn a BTTF enthusiast's living room wall. Or diner. Or clocktower.

 A surprise visit from "shrunken head guy" from Beetlejuice.

An eclectic little coffee house. Reminds me alot of  the one from my hometown in Lompoc, Ca.

Sketchin' : La Purisima Mission

This is the historical mission back in my hometown of Lompoc, California. It's a great place for a weekend stroll, jog, bike ride, or sketch session, and farm animals to draw.

Compositions

   I drew these while riding in the backseat in car, on my way to see my newborn nephew. They were sketched really quickly so if they're undecipherable, I apologize, but it was fun.  There's lots of composition in nature!

These are the coolest trees ever! They have great rhythm and gesture. Only found in Santa Barbara(to my knowledge) I call them Dr. Seuss trees.

Streets of Burbank...nough' said.


Funny, my fellow CalArtian Joe Johnston experience the same, lovely situation months ago and drew about it here.   I decided draw mine.

Open Mic Poster design

 

Poster I designed on my own for Open Mic night at Southside Coffee Shop in my hometown of Lompoc, California. Lot's of talented, quirky folks take to the mic and show their stuff.

Sketchin' it Up

Glow like Edison

I recently finished a book entitled, "At Work with Thomas Edison." Essentially the book is about applying Edison's creative work-ethic to our work, personal, and social lives. I can't help but think about the similarities between him and Walt Disney. They had a passion for something, and worked super hard to make their dreams a reality, and they were never satisfied or content but they always wanted to improve upon their abilites and keep experimenting and being curious.Here is an excerpt about some of the principles that defined Edison's work ethic. This guy is so awesome :D
