Abalone Cove

I did this painting with the "Sunday Painting Posse" It was a great day for painting...It rained the day before, so the colors popped like a mutha.

Digital Sketches

This was an assignment for a Renaissance class, we had to do rough sketches of famous art that we liked, I chose these four. There will be more to follow.

Vindicated Logo

This is a quick thumbnail logo I did for one of my friends companies, I dont know if they're going to use it or not, but if they do I will do a fully rendered version of it

This is a book called "The Prophet and the Pharaoh" by Carol Corwin. I designed the cover for her and Westbow Press. I thought by doing the cover with 2 images representing the time in which this book took place would make a simple yet interesting composition.

This is a map I did for the inside of the book as well. I thought this was kind of fun seeing as I have never created a map before.

"The Good The Bad and The Limited Animation"

This was a design I was working on for RED GIANT. I wanted something that looked cartoony but represented that 1960's style for westerns.

The D-Vice

This is the Final version of the painting...I really didnt know what I wanted to do for the background, so I decided to keep it simple!

I can find you using my new GPS tracking system!

Old Abandoned Zoo in LA

This composition was a little hard for me. First, I just did a simple line drawing to set up the comp. Second, I blocked in all the shapes on different layers so I could lock the layer and paint them individually. Third, I did my best to match the hues and values. Fourth I added flavor, that you have to do on your own

Sunset Beach

When I set out to do this painting, I didn't know what I wanted to do. All I knew was that I wanted to do a beach painting. So, I started looking up reference like any good artist would do. I went through a couple of books that I own and decided I wanted to do a Hans Bacher type BG, something in the style of old school Disney concept design. How it came out? Thats for you to decide.

Mountain Scape

Shaddy made us do a quick study of a photo in Concept class and this is my rendition....I tried to do it in a painterly style, I think I hit the mark....I wish it was a little more Alla Prima, but what can you do? He's a master!

On the Brink #3

This is the third ship in the series of ten. I wanted to use some future style buildings with a post-modern type sailboat...I dont really know how well it turned out, but I believe in the saying "Go with what you got." This painting still stems from the Stephen King book "Duma Key" but it is not a representation, its more a shout out to "Dead Calm, The Matrix and Event Horizon." I'll leave it for you to decide
