Relax

I wish I had a Spider-Man pillow like that.

Solve For "i"

2011-05-05T17:04:00.000-07:00

If I didn't already know the answer, I wouldn't even know how to start on that.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for - more comic book characters.

Monday Artday!

The prompt was Pixar, I had to do it.

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy

I can't even describe this.

Playing Catch-Up

2011-04-26T07:13:00.001-07:00

Double Art Goodness! I'm thinking of making stickers. And cut-outs. And opening up my own Etsy. And I have big eyes and a small mouth.

Whatever Wednesday!

2011-04-20T16:13:00.000-07:00

I should really consider drawing more mustaches.

Monday Artday!

2011-04-18T13:26:00.001-07:00

People always assume that I'm joking when I say I love the angler fish. But I'm not. I love it. I. Freaking. Love. It.

Illustration Friday!

2011-04-15T19:07:00.000-07:00

Sometimes, I just feel like drawing bright colors, balloons, and hidden superheroes.

They make me happy when I’m having a sad day such as this.

Thor!

2011-04-15T08:33:00.001-07:00

I can't stop drawing super-heroes!

Whatever Wednesday!

2011-04-13T14:37:00.000-07:00

I draw, therefore, I am.

Bottles - Another Illustration Friday

2011-04-08T17:23:00.000-07:00

For Illustration Friday! Inspired by the word, “bottles”.

Poor Matt doesn’t even realize that his balloons are various condiment bottles. He thinks they are bunnies.

Duet - Illustration Friday

2011-04-08T06:06:00.000-07:00

It sure has been a long time since I picked up the pen tool in Illustrator, that's for sure, but I think I've taken enough of a hiatus. (Plus I got a spiffy new MacBook so, you know, art needs to be made.) Based on Illustration Friday's word "Duet".

It's The Final Countdown

2010-04-14T10:54:00.000-07:00

My inner joy is jumping at the fact that in 63 days, a very special person is going to come visit me for my birthday! I couldn't resist completely wasting a three hour class to draw this.

I like Illustrator, reference, and Jackie.

Gleek

2010-04-12T19:10:00.000-07:00

I put into art what my crazed anticipation for 'GLEE' to start does to me.

Thanks again, Illustrator, for being a friend through these tough times.

Double Entendre

2010-03-22T18:46:00.000-07:00

Following up my previous post, I am happy to announce that as of today, I am an official employee for Marvel Digital Comics! (insert loud whoops of joy here)

To celebrate, I present Squid-Girl! She's inking her way into your heart! Made possible with Illustrator, and reference.

P.S. Have I mentioned yet how excited I am? I am so freaking excited!

The Jitters

2010-03-17T19:37:00.000-07:00

There are many things that people do when they are nervous.

Some people eat, while others make food.

Some people clean, while others make more of a mess.

Me? I draw an octopus...on a lollipop. I call him, a Lolloctopus.

Why am I nervous, you ask? Well, I have a very important interview coming up tomorrow at a company I am desperately praying will hire me. This little guy helped to take the edge off.

Have I mentioned lately that I love sea creatures? I have? Just checking. This was made possible by reference.

Never Let Them Fool You

2009-11-02T17:07:00.000-08:00

A few Illustrations for my Personal Project in my Mentorship Class. I like the water, and themes of deception.

There's A Light

2009-06-23T19:27:00.001-07:00

At the deep dark depths of the ocean... there lies a peaceful and magnificent creature... that will eat you the second you get too close to its glowing flesh ball. Did I mention that I LOVE Angler fish? I think I did.

Rocking Art-ists

2009-04-05T08:02:00.000-07:00

We had an assignment at school to illustrate two artists from back in the day that would be considered "rock".

I present Elvis and Paul McCartney from The Beatles.

Done in oils, a medium I have found to enjoy quite a bit. A special thanks to Beck, who stood by me painstakingly watching me fail, and helping me succeed, as she always does.

Mentor-ment

2009-03-20T11:58:00.000-07:00

Jim Benton.

Author, Illustrator, New York Times Best Seller, and...

My Mentor!

See, at F.I.T, there is a class that we are required to take. That class is a Mentorship Program, where we, the aspiring Illustrators of the future, have to go out and seek out a professional Illustrator of choice. When I emailed Mr. Benton, I didn't even think that it was a possibility that he would write back.

Well he did.

And in the coming Fall of '09, the creator of...

AND

...will wish he never said yes in first place. I apologize in advance.

Nappage

2009-02-16T20:47:00.000-08:00

So we have this Digital Painting class and... well... I haven't really painted digitally before, so this was definitely a new experience. I don't want to say I am done with this, but it is progress. The original painting is done by Craig Mullin, one of my favorite illustrators by the way, and this was done with Photoshop. (Thank you Wacom Tablet!)

We're learning how to paint in Coral Painter soon, and I am super excited for that. I really am expecting to have a good portfolio by the time I'm done, I feel like I've been slacking quite a bit lately. Well, here's to bigger and better things toward the future!

Carrot Funness

2008-12-10T16:14:00.000-08:00

So these are just a pair of precarious rabbits trying to reach some carrots. Silly rabbit, trix are for kids! Done in Illustrator because I happen to enjoy it, thank you very much.

Trick or Treat

2008-10-31T21:20:00.000-07:00

So I'm taking an elongated break, to add on to my break, from my 32-page book dummy, to draw something just because I had really nice watercolor paper and for once, I wanted to use it.

Just a few minutes shy of being on time with this, but what can you do? Done in pen and ink, and watercolor. Yes, my horrific time with watercolor proved to be horrific, and yet a learning experiance. Practice makes perfect!

Pose No More

2008-10-22T11:42:00.000-07:00

My most recent creation in my Illustrator class. This class is really coming together for me, as of now, I'm really liking the stuff that I come out with. It's may not be the best, but I'm enjoying it a lot. Take that Art Deco!

The Angler Fish

2008-10-19T17:27:00.000-07:00

I love fish. Every single one of them. If I didn't enjoy drawing them so much, I would probably be studying marine biology right now, but I digress. My class went on a field trip to the Museum of Natural History last Friday and the Giant Whale Room was open, finally after so many years of being closed, and I. Flipped. Out.

Anyway, our next assignment is the Human Animal, and, here's the shocker, my animal is going to be a fish. But not just any fish, the Angler fish. Interesting thing about this fish is that it has this fleshy growth coming from its head, the esca, and it acts like a lure to attract other fish to it's ultimate demise; thus the term "angling". (It's also usually a bottom dweller, and the lure glows in the dark, think Finding Nemo.)

Zombie Mania

2008-10-15T08:42:00.000-07:00

A little early for Halloween, yes, but not for my Illustrator class. I name Benny Scissorshead.

Portraits-Full

2008-09-23T06:47:00.001-07:00

Majority of the people that I draw, are people that I don't know, and are models. So here are a couple of drawings that I've done of people that I know personally.

Except this one, this is a caricature I did of Reese Witherspoon.

That would be me, back in the day.

This is the pencil version of my little nephew...

And this is the finish, done in Photoshop.

Acrylic-ness

2008-09-18T18:40:00.000-07:00

For someone who says they really don't feel comfortable enough in they're skills as a painter... I sure do have quite a collection of acrylics... which is good! Because I do like to paint, and I do want to get better. So these are a couple of acrylics that I have done up till now that I'm okay with. The first one is the only one that I have done for myself, all of the rest where painted for school related projects.

Bringin' It Back, Old School

2008-09-18T18:30:00.001-07:00

Pin-ups mostly done in ink. I love this kind of stuff, I tend to draw it a lot. Stylized, vibrant, and cheek-bones that can kill.

The next few are done in pencil. These were more inspired by the old school Coca-Cola girls.

Princess's De Los Disney

2008-09-18T18:15:00.000-07:00

"Darling it's better, down where it's wetter, take it from me."

That's right... The Little Mermaid ain't so little no more.. no mo'.

From a reference, of course. Slowly making my way across the Disney Princess's platform... Lightly guashed then drawn upon for Ariel, Snow While and Tink are done in pencil. :)

Death of a Toilet

2008-09-17T09:49:00.000-07:00

For my Photoshop class, I guess... haha. We had to do a photo manipulation of at least 3 different things and... I don't know how this came out of my ass, but it did, so enjoy. haha.

I don't like it... but oh well... it's... new. haha.

PS3 and Wacom (just had to mention because I finally, FINALLY got one) :B
