Cars 2 Posters!

I'm lucky to be around really talented people at Disney Consumer Products. One of them is Eric Tan. He is a graphic designer and creates really graphically appealing work, and recently he did a series of promotional posters for Cars 2 that will be used for, well, promoting the movie. He did about 12 of them and they're awesome! I've seen them hanging at DCP, the Disney studio sound stages, and other places around the world(I assume, cause this film takes place internationally). Stephane Kardos, who was recently interviewed on the Pixar Podcast, was also involved in the posters. There were extra mini posters left over, so we got to pick one design to keep. Eric was gracious enough to sign them for us. Thanks Eric! Check out his posters here!

Tijuana Trip part 1: train paintings

Painted these on my Ipod touch using my finger with the Brushes app. Did them on the train ride from L.A to San Diego this past weekend.It's a great app to have, where you can do really quick compositions and sketches.

Misty

My fellow CalArtian, Misty, asked me to draw her a caricature of her for her blog's profile pic. It was a lot of fun, cause I LOOOOVE caricature drawing.  I don't have a 'real' picture of her to compare(I don't think she'd like me posting pics of her on the WWW lol). But nonetheless, I hope you can feel her personality in the drawing.

Check out her Art!

Santa

 I saw this man at the parking lot of the 99 cent Store. He had bright white flowing hair and beard reminiscent of Gandalf. I thought he was homeless, until he got into his car. The shrunken head dangling from his rear-view mirror was an excellent touch.

Light A Roman Candle With Me

Light a roman candle with me
Just a roman candle, you can wear your sandals
and I'll pour you just one cup of tea.
Then you can go and rest
you haven't seen my best, so...

Just spend an evening with me
Just a lazy evening, then you could be leaving
or we could stay and talk until three.
I will think it's magic and I'll hope you'll agree, so...

Light a roman candle with me.
  ----excerpt from the song: Light A Roman Candle With Me by F.U.N.----

 

 

I get inspired when I listen to music, but who doesn't right? I get these images in my head, or an idea for animation to go with the music and/or lyrics. So I just went ahead picked a song I love and tried to capture what it means to me, or what triggers my imagination. Here's the first of hopefully, many little 'non-animated, Fantasia-esque" inspired illustrations, inspired by my favorite songs/music/bands.......eh you get the picture. (no pun intended).

PS- I apologize in advance if you do not share my musical tastes.

Did this spur of the moment, so its not really tight and polished, but like how it turned out. Color version coming soon.
