I found a girlfriend for sucker boy!

well, this proves there is a match out there for everyone! Ok, maybe it doesn't prove that, but I felt suckerboy needed a girlfriend...they might be cousins!?
here she is...

where does this stuff come from?

I started to doodle today and this is what came out....where does this stuff come from??

longboard.

here is a sketch for a monday morning. I guess this comes from my California childhood. There is nothing like a quality skateboard. My son has a sector seven longboard and I borrow it all the time. skateboards have sure come a long way since the first sealed bearing roadrider wheels I had as a kid. Ah the good ol days!

"tomboy"

things sure have seemed busy for me lately. my goal to sketch everyday has not worked out so well, but I'm trying to get back into it. I started sketching this little girl this morning and it reminded me of my little niece. She is a girl, but you better not tell her that...she may just beat you up.

I've been trying to model in 3d.

I've been experimenting in Max. Here is a little character (actually the very first post here on my blog) I've been trying to model up in 3D. I'm still working on things. I've got him all there almost, now I've just got to mess with it a while more until I can get it closer to my drawing....but hey it's a start!

illustration friday: fat

I forgot to check the topic until just a few minutes ago....fat...that is fun.
here is a very quick little sketch. it needs some refinement, but I did it real fast just to see what I could come up with. I've been modeling my own little character this week so didn't want to take too much time away from that....Happy Friday Everyone!

sketch.

we as artists sure spend a lot of time developing our skills...I saw a lot of illustrators leave the profession over the past several years while things have been a little slow...I wonder what they are all doing now?
