Majestic...

On our way to Vegas...

Shelter...

...from the harsh reality of Alcatraz.

I know I lied about no more SF pictures. Whaddya gonna do?

Mike the Human Troll Doll

Me as a baby.

(sorry for not posting an original piece. Kinda relaxing for the next few days).

For my eyes only...

I've been working on a commissioned piece for the past few days. I'm a night owl, so I tend to stay up way past my bedtime. Plus, I have to get up at 5:30 for work. zzzz...

Sorry, no image today

I'm currently working on a commissioned piece, and by the time I looked at the clock last night, it was 10:45. That meant it's sleepy time! I was too tired to scan in the image I was going to post today.

I'll post it tomorrow.

Barf...

Taken atop the Stratosphere in Vegas. I, of course, did not take the picture because I am quite afraid of heights...

My wife Becky took the picture. Bless her steel stomach. I instantly become dizzy when I look down from just 5 floors...

(Opinion) Even my two cents...

are in disagreement...

Padre Island - 2

Padre Island - 1

Some images from a trip to Padre Island with Becky and my family...

Housing problems

A piece that I'm currently working on. I have some other things in the works, just need to put more ideas down on paper.

Thanks again for all of your support. It means a ton!

Men's Health - Road Rage

Some illustrations I did for Mens Health - Philippines.

AD: Glen Concio (fantastic to work with).

Sometimes we pretend...

...to be something we're not.

Men's Health - PC Ailments

Some illustrations I did for Men's Health - Philippines.

AD: Glen Concio (fantastic to work with).

Happily medicated...

Playing with some different textures and such. I like the line work, but would like to add a little more "rough" lines to it, kind of like the lines in "Wise Choice". But, I'm not sure yet.

I definitely like the direction. I think including a few more "looser" lines with the texture, and I'll be closer to what I'm looking to accomplish. I still think that I need to add more dynamification (my word), though...

My baby and I...

What a great time...and nobody better to experience San Francisco with than my baby.

Alright, last San Francisco picture, I promise.

Another page....

...from my sketchbook. I know, I know. It's not as fun. Well, I've been kinda tired as of late, and haven't gotten around to doing a real piece.

Cilantro

A little drawing for my mom. Long time no gouache.

Yesterday's observation...

A quick drawing of my water bottle...and some squid/box thingy.

Wise choice

"You have chosen...wisely"

Indiana Jones is the sh*t. Maybe I'll get the DVD box set for Christmas...

*****

For those of you who haven't seen Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, a quick synopsis of the part I drew (courtesy of Wikipedia):

"Guided by the diary, Indiana circumvents three deadly booby traps, reaching a room where a knight of the First Crusade, kept alive by the power of the Grail, has hidden it among many false cups, while Donovan and Elsa (from the nazi party) follow. The knight informs them that, if they wish for the Grail, they must choose wisely for it, for while drinking from the true Grail will bring them everlasting life, a false Grail will take it from them. Elsa identifies a golden, bejeweled cup as the Grail, and Donovan impatiently drinks from it. Realizing the Grail is false, Donovan dies, aging rapidly into dust.

Indiana picks out the true Grail, a plain cup with a gold interior, worthy of a humble carpenter (Jesus), and drinks from it, whereupon the knight advises him that he has chosen "wisely". "

Sorry...

...for the lack of "finished" pieces as of late. I seem to have hit a wall, and sketches are all I have at this point. I'll have some more completed pieces soon...hopefully. Just another bump in the road, that's all!

Artwork for the living room...

Some artwork for the living room I created last night...

Inside Alcatraz

Beauty is found in even the harshest of places...

70's Street Shot

Another street shot. What I like about this one is that it has a vintage 70's feel.

Through the smoke...

I suck at titles. I should just give them generic names.

FYI, Q-Tip's new album, "The Renaissance", is phenomenal...

Idears...

More ideas from my sketchbook. At first, I was kind of hesitant to post my sketchbook pages because I wasn't sure if others would "borrow" my ideas. The more I thought about, the more I hope at least some of these scribbles will help others get their own ideas. Believe me, I've been inspired by many an illustrator's sketches and doodles...

Thanks again for your support!

Strategery Room...

(click for larger image)

Here's where the strategerizing takes place. It's a comfortable room, and conducive to creativiti (said like Cartman).

No, that's just a regular coke. No alcohol added. On the plate? Chorizo...mmmmmm...

Feelin' kinda sick...

Was feelin' a bit rough this weekend, but feeling better now...

Vacant

My obsession with thought bubbles continues...
