if : the blues

the blues...this guy's so sad that not even a fairy offering a puppy with an ice cream cone will cheer him up...But maybe if the ice cream was full of...nuts and berries??

if : Juggle

If you've ever had hibachi you'll know if pretty much the coolest way to get your food made right in front of you. Also, those chefs are amazing with throwing things in the air and balancing everything...need I say more? I suppose this could be a snapshot of the future, or just a snapshot of imagination-laced fun.

if : Emergency

Check it out, here's an illustration of a very faithful intern for fun! What do you think?

IF : Moon

Were you surprised? I'm sure the moon's seen many worse things...

IF : Poem

Here's one about a poem, there were so many options for this one but this is what I ended up with. I think it said what was on my mind without revealing too much.

IF : Discovery

Discovery isn't always pleasant, like that time my friend opened his hood and realized that cars were powered by gnomes! Sometimes that happens I suppose...

The Acorn Prince

Here's an illustration I whipped up just because. I really just needed a break one evening and then POW along came the Acorn Prince, I think I should write a tale about him but I haven't yet deciphered his story. I was going to name his Dad Bellamy, but I already have two characters named that! I need to find/invent more names beginning with B...

Strawberry

So here's a little something I made. When I drew this in the comic I looked at it for a bit and knew that I had to do a little more with it. So here's a little more. It seems there are color issues with this one as well, though not as bad overall... The top one is the added true color version.

Somewhat New Artworks?

Here's some stuff I did this Spring but my local library is having a booksale... so there may be more soon.

Hey everybody,
I made these two images, and now I am selling a few prints! Get in touch if you want to buy any... PS I can do commissions too, I'll draw whatever you like!

recently thinking of an NES past...

Here are two recent ideas I've been playing around with, any feedback on them would be great. One is made completely from screenshots, the other from screen capture images on my computer... So what do you think, is it a good direction to head? I figure I'll pursue it regardless but any feedback helps.

Two Images and a Bonus!

This is a watercolor and a gouache I did this past week. The bonus is a sneak peak from the tale of Belastor Brieve! Although I plan on changing Belastor's eyes, I think the current eyes and the hair combo make him look like L from Deathnote...

Belastor

Belastor Brieve, unfortunatly in a poor scan (I was in a hurry to make a dinner date at 5) but that's it. It' a glimpse at the new technique I'd like to try out. (Keep in mind, this is on sketch level, on crappy paper, on a relatively-glossy surface and microns and sharpies don't work the best on said surfaces)

More Productivity

I worked again, (having a week with nothing to do was really quite pleasant) This was the idea I originally came up with for Illustration Friday's weekly word, the word was Pheonix, but I didn't finish it in time, even on a week off deadlines can take you by suprise I suppose...perhaps especially on week off?

Just Something Fun

So I recieved a set of gouache for Christmas and decided to give it a try. I found a scrap piece of illustration board and whipped this up while Princess Mononoke played on in the background. I must say, I enjoy them considerably more than acrylics...

Beware of his Posts!

So I came up with another design for the guys at chewing pencils... I think I cuaght a glimpse of him once, as I passed by a Starbucks, I was too frightened to stop!

Haven't you ever seen a kiosk in the desert before??

So I came across this blog site called "Chewing Pencils" and they came up with a contest. The objective is to create an christmas-themed image, cartoon, illustration, whatever, just so long as it features the word Blog in it. Here's the first of two ideas I came up with, what do you think?

Croquet Day 2006!

Here's a poster I quickly made for the Grantham Gentlemen's Society Croquet Day 2006. I'll post the old one below it...
