"Sea Creature"

"Sea Creature" - ink and gouache on wood - 8" x 8"

This was supposed to be a monster, but ended up being a flower creature thing. Heh, I don't think it'll fit into the monster show coming up... that's okay though, I still like it!

Hmm... should I keep the white border around it?... I kind of like it.

Ah well, I'll let it stew for a while and decide later.

On to the next!

"Archangel" - WIP

"Archangel" WIP - ink, watercolor and gouache on paper - 15" x 20"

"Sage"

"Sage" - ink, watercolor and gouache on paper - 10" x 7"

Little guy finally finds the fabled Giant Powdered Turd, who grants three turd related wishes.

That's what I see at least. I dunno, I just wanted to experiment more with the spatter technique =).

'night!

Bloom

Bloom - ink, watercolor and gouache on paper - 12" x 9"

Phew, finally finished it! This one was a beast - it kept changing what it wanted to be. I think I managed to guide it to a pretty reasonable state though =)

Make sure to click through for high res - I took about five process pictures, so you can see it develop from the base wash.

'night! ('morning. . .)

Found this artist online -

Very interesting.

Cocoon Movie Poster

Cocoon Movie Poster - ink, gouache and watercolor on poster - 25" x 40"

Here is my finished movie poster for the show coming up at Gallery 1988 SF. Ta daaaa =)

Well, I think it's done. I have another day to poke at it until I drop it off at the gallery... so we'll see.

"Planetoid"

"Planetoid" - 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" - ink and watercolor on paper

My creation for the weekly 'Art Night' with friends =)

Cocoon Movie Poster WIP

Cocoon Movie Poster WIP - ink, gouache and watercolor on poster - 25" x 40"

Here is where I am so far with the Cocoon movie poster for the show coming up at Gallery 1988. I feel pretty good about where the piece is... Apart from a few minor touch ups, I think this is mostly done.

When I'm sure, I'll post another, better picture... this one is a bit off color-wise, and there are some details that got lost.

Hope everyone had a good long weekend!

'night

City Walker

"City Walker" - ink on paper - 11" x 11"

Another mechanical doodle that exploded into something much more insane... I wonder what he's reaching for?

Also been working on the Cocoon poster, hopefully will get that into a place where I can post a progress picture tomorrow.

District 9 Poster - last breath

Sorry for the hiatus -- been pretty busy lately! Mmm, I did have a chance to work more on this poster for the show, but I think I may have been overly ambitious with it. Things that looked awesome in my head didn't turn out looking awesome on paper. Composition is weird, colors are off, and overall I'm just not happy with it.

I don't usually post things that I don't like, but I figured I put so much time into it that it deserves at least a little air time. (Plus I feel bad that I haven't posted anything in a while). I probably won't finish this one... just going to move onto the next thing, and leave this as a "just in case".

I've already started working on the Cocoon poster -- I have some more fully baked ideas for that one, and it's already looking better than this failure =P.

I'll post things as they develop. Hope you're all having a great Labor Day weekend!

Mechanical Heart

"Mechanical Heart" - ink on paper - 8" x 6"

It's a bit cheesy... but hey, everyone's cheesy now and then =).
