Cute Enemies

Greedo, Tusken Raider, the Emperor and Bib Fortuna are all from a group gallery show that was at Leanna Lin's Wonderland in Eagle Rock, CA

Here's a piece I did of a buddy and coworker, who's on to 

some new artistic adventures.  Can't wait to see the new hotness

you're gonna create!!! 

Here's a piece I did earlier this year of a 

good friend for a great cause, the Jules 

Jammal scholarship auction at SJSU 

with a bunch other great artists.  Miss 

you buddy.

A little piece for a co worker!  

Thanks for the comments! A few folks have been asking how I 

work on these stylized pieces. I always start sketching seeing what 

works and what doesn't, I'm a big if ideation explorations.  Then rock

the pen tool in Photoshop for the base shapes. I like Photoshop cause 

it still allows me the flexibility to paint back into the piece.

    

Donkey Kong "Choking Hazard"

Here's a piece I did for a charity auction.  A page of rough sketches 

will also be included with this digital piece. This one has a warm desated

 "old school"pallet, the one in the auction is more vibrant with saturated 

colors to capture the feel I remember with all the classic Nintendo Games.

Ralph McQuarrie Tribute

I was super sad to hear of Ralph McQuarrie's passing earlier this month. He was by far one of the Godfathers in film and entertainment design. One of those rare artists who was equally talented when it came to creating characters, creatures, environments, vehicles, aliens. And amazingly he not only did concept and production art, but even matte paintings used in original StarWars films. I always felt an amazing heart in his work, he definitely was a great inspiration.

I know St.Patrick's a month off, but here's

to wishing everyone a little good luck!

One of the best things about living in the city is all the great food!

Yeah Boy, Hellboy!
