Paintings and Online Shop

Hey guys! I opened up an online shop where you can buy my paintings! In honor of the new shop if you buy a piece between now and April 15, 2013 you'll get free shipping (which is no laughing matter with paintings, they each cost between 12-30 dollars to ship)!

DPSC

Hello everyone. Here's a sticker I recently designed for a Digital Painting and Sketch Club. It was a fun little experiment. The blacks are ink, and the colors were done in photoshop.

Have a good day,

Figure Drawings (early 2013)

Hey guys, here’s some of my recent figure work. I’ve done my best to arrange them in order from shortest pose to longest. They are all charcoal on newsprint. I hope you enjoy.

Spot Rockers 2

Hey guys, here’s one more spot illustration I did about the stereotypical people you see at rock concerts. She’s my favorite of the lot, but her color palette really steps her apart from the rest, so I excluded her. I really like her with the desaturated palette.

Sport Rockers One

Hey guys here are some spot illustrations that I did about the stereotypical people you see at rock concerts in the modern day. I hope you like them.

Finishing Up 2012 (Part Three)

This is the last of my three posts finishing up 2012. This time here's the best of my November and December sketchbooks.

 

 

Finishing up 2012 (Part Two)

Hey guys, so in my last post you saw some of the best paintings I did in the last two months of 2012, in this one I want to show you some things I made digitally.

Those first three I drew in photoshop, and this last one, a portrait of Sir Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek was done in Illustrator.

Finishing up 2012 (Part One)

Hey guys,

I know I haven't posted here in a while, sorry about that. I wanted to keep you guys updated with how I'm doing though. 2012 was a great year for me. Artistically I advanced so much more than in any prior year, and I want to show you some of my favorite works from the past two months. In this first post I'll be sharing some of the paintings I've done.

October Projects

Hey guys, I haven't posted here in a while, so I thought I'd share some of my recent works with you. The first one is a Scratchboard I did for a class, and the other three are personal projects I did for fun and learning. I hope you enjoy them.

"Strange Graveyard" Gig Poster

Hey Guys! How are you? This one hour sketch was for a club at my school where we meet and compete while watching a demo. The challenge was to draw something unexpected in a graveyard, however later the woman who was doing the demo said the phrase "Strange Graveyard" a little while later and that really stuck with me, so I combined that with a llama and a zombie. I was thinking about Kevin Dart's work while doing this sketch. 

Also if you guys are interested I have a tumblr. 

Just finished my latest sketchbook

Hey guys, so I just finished the sketchbook I've been using for the past few weeks, so I posted some of my favorite pages on my tumblr. You can check them out here . I hope you enjoy them.

Breakfast in the hurricane

This project was for my Illustration I class. I had to illustrate breakfast in a graphic style. I chose to represent a bright, warm breakfast while a hurricane thundered outside. I painted in in acrylic over a series of 34 different stencils that I made for the project. My hand and wrist were killing me after sitting there cutting out all those shapes, but it was totally worth it. I was fairly happy with the result, especially the tablecloth and window.

The Long Drive Home

Due to the potential dangers of Hurricane Isaac my school evacuated this weekend. Sarasota, the area where my school is located got very little of the storm, but the area where I was got heavy flooding. On the way home today we drove through some deep pools of water, and saw immense beautiful clouds floating above the huge flat landscape of miles and miles of sugarcane fields. I did this palette knife painting in my sketchbook with one of those clouds in my memory.

Silly Sharpie Sketchbook Faces

 These are a few Sharpie faces I've made the past few days. I was listening to one of Chris Oatley's podcasts, and he recommended putting away the medium that you usually sketch in and try something different for a week, so I picked up the sharpie and absolutely fell in love with it. My favorite of these drawings is the woman with dark hair and the patterned shirt.
