Recent Caricature commission I did.

Mother's Day Gifts

I'm in Wisconsin right now for about 3 more weeks. I've sketched alot and have had some interesting experiences I'd like to share. Hope to soon. But for now, I'll share some recent work.

A friend from High School(c/o '04) commissioned me to make a caricatures of her and her sisters for their Mom. I learned a few new techniques along the way. Like how making the final drawing in ink results in a much smoother finish than graphite. Duh! Everybody knows that! I guess it was really the first time I tried it.

Innagural sketch-capade of the Lompoc Sketch club! Current members: 2! Most of these were done at South Side Coffee Co. in Lompoc, Ca.

This guy was so much fun to draw. I mean, he practically looks like this in real life! So many cool shapes.

I love Walt.

"A mere re- dedication to creativity is all man needs to start the creative juices flowing and then suddenly there is the energy - to “pun it off”, energy that seems to feed upon itself, so that each moment becomes a fresh start, each experience a new event, and the vision is forward-looking with
anticipation and wonder--not backward looking, full of regrets for neglected opportunities of the
past, or negative influences that creep in and block our vision."

My Art on a Car

A couple of months ago I did some new character illustrations for Taco Roco, a mexican restaurant here on the Central Coast in Cali. Just recently, Victor Gallardo(the marketing/promotions guy) designed a car label with my character illustration of Ricky Roco, their mascot, to sort of give their recent logo an upgrade.... I was so excited to see my little guy on the car! So if you're hanging around Santa Barbara County, look out for the TacoRocomobile!

VROOM!!

So I'm chugging away on my short film Vroom! A film I concieved and developed at CalArts.....Here are some progression stuff for a scene in the opening of the film. I'm excited to share this cause I'm excited to be working on this!
