Beginning to meaningful ends.

So here are some of the things I have been working on. Also consider this my official statement that I have a one man show coming up in April (no official date yet) at the Orange Glory next door to the Little.

This is my godson Wyatt and his mother Jennie. I'm pretty sure Wyatt is actually a mutant. A wonderful mutant.




This here is a robot I am working on for a painting.


The following drawings and respective sculptures are just me warming up for some serious work.

Drawing to fill time and occupy the mind...

I am working on a portrait of a family friend named Papo. He has known my dad for 30+ years and me since I was born. Keeps me in practice and strengthens those bonds of friendship. Score.



Also I am working on a new "tankephant" idea. Still trying to figure out how I want to put the pieces together. But I like where it's going...




On a final note I am going to get some good sketches going and eventually a sculpture of this beastie. Look forward to making this one...

Sharko will punch you out!

I have made some good progress on my dad's logo.

Shark Punch!

I have been working on a logo for my dad. He is a kick-boxing instructor with his own star studded undefeated legacy. He finally decided that he needed a logo for his fighters. This is preliminary and will probably be going through a couple of changes.

Weggies!

Here is a taste of something I cooked up for my buddy Ben.

Twice in one night, not bad...

So to make up for my lack of posting here is some more stuff. I have been working on building D&D-esque monsters (as if I haven't been doing that for years). Now I want to do it at a higher and better caliber. So I was thinking about the Bulette from D&D, one of my favorites. So this is the progress of what I have got going.

I'm back, with some goodies.

So I haven't blogged in over a month. Time flies when you have a job I guess. Also I want to say hello to my "followers". That little function sure is helping out the ol' ego.

Anyway here is a sample of what I have been working on. First up is a logo I am working on for an attorney in Phelps, NY, secondly there is a quick sketch I did while I was eating at a wedding in Georgia and then the parasite riddled dinosaur I doodled up while I was in Lux the other night.

Proposed Childrens Book.

Hello Blog,
I have been in contact with a friend from Atlanta and she has written a story and asked me to do a sample illustration for it. This is what i have come up with and she was pretty pleased with it. Enjoy.

Water Colors..

So Blog I did some water colors. Did these all in one night just to get some practice in for a class. I had some female friends of mine model for me and took some well lit references. These are posted in order of creation.

More spike frog!

I scanned the frog in and will be adding the text later. More updates on the way!

Spike-backed Ice Frog, Painted Edition.

So I am working on a leave behind. I decided to give a practice run through with my ol' stand by the spike-backed ice frog.

Here's the preliminary sketch. I dropped the text out of it. Didn't do a good enough job.


The first time. Bit-O-Failure....


The second time.

Air Brush Antics.

So Blog I got an airbrush for Christmas. I nice Aztec from my folks, I was adequately surprised. I practiced a little bit to get a feel for the controls and then laid down some paint on my new sculpture. It's not done yet. There are some more things I want to lay in on the surface. But what do ya think? I am feeling pretty spiffy.










Here are some close ups.

New Maquette.

Hello Blog! I got a real good go on my new maquette. Let me give you a little history, 'cause there is some. I have this idea to create a man/machine monster using construction equipment. So.. I bought Tonka Truck Back-hoes from the 50's and 60's off of ebay for dirt cheap. These son's a-guns are made of steel so they welded together nice. My buddy Ben helped me out there. So I changed up the original idea a bit after re-wathcing Akira and seeing the part where Tetsuo transforms. So now I have this mass of pulsating flesh that is growing out of the machine. Here's what I got so far.

I'm on fire?

Hello Blog.
It's 3:32 AM. I feel pretty damn good. Just cranked out this little number (see below) and a second assignment for my digital 1 class. Both need touching up, p.s. you wont be seeing the second image until I change the dang formats. I'm currently a little too tired to muck around with them.

The Tentacle Beast

I don't think I can keep saying all those nasty things about digital under my breath anymore. That wasn't so bad. Sleep well. See you when I regain consciousness.

ciao Blog.
