Toy Break!

"Toy Break" is a weekly Internet show I've been watching for about a year. It features designer vinyl, plush, action figures, collectibles, events, how-tos, interviews, huge beards and more! If you're into toys and art you'll definitely dig this show.

The drawing of the big blue guy was done for a contest they're having. The contest isn't skills-based, it's more of a contest with art so it makes it nice to know there is no pressure and you can just relax and have fun with it. My drawing has a resemblance to one of the hosts who has a seriously bad ass beard.

Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR)

Here is a sketch I drew last night of a robot that a Maryland company under contract to the Pentagon is working on. It's a steam-powered robot that fuels itself by gobbling up whatever organic material it can find — grass, wood, old furniture, even dead bodies. My version doesn't resemble any where near what the real thing looks like, of course.

Here is the link if you want to read more of the article on EATR.

"Brainstorming"

Just want to make a really quick post to let you in on what i'm doing. I'm trying to finish up a small strip and hopefully a tiny zine for this week. I'm also going to participate in Illustrationfriday.com to help get my creative juices going. You should check the site out, It's really neat and they have tons of cool artist participating. So here is a few random doodles and stuff. I'll be back soon. Enjoy! ^-^

Chibi Wife.

Since my wife has been on a rampage taking polaroid shots on her Iphone, I thought I should make her one of my own using photoshop. I had a lot of fun making these and it was good practice in my part in trying to figure out how to digitally color my line work. I really love the last pic, my wife is an avid "Doctor Who" watcher. Enjoy! ^-^

Vatos del gallo.

I suck at titles so I just used a line out of a beck song. Thought it was funny. I had a job interview yesterday but I don't think it went well. It's cool though. At least it's good practice. Other than that, I got up today in a very sketchy mood. I've been trying to draw with pencil lately since I almost always use a pen or ink. I was inspired by one of my doodles. It's in my last entry. I think it came out pretty cool. I'm really happy with it. I took some time to really see if I could get it right. I'm sure that it's not but I still love it. Let me in on what you think. Always glad to get some constructive criticism. ^-^
Sorry about the bad pic. I actually own a pair of socks like those. The bottom drawing was done earlier this year and just found it. Really like this one too.

This last pic is of my daughter with Fred the puppet. I love the look in her face. She looks annoyed. I'll see if she wants to make a movie again. I'll keep you posted.

Father's Day was 9 days ago, yo!

Father's Day was pretty cool. I got to spend a lot of time with my awesome family. My daughter is on summer vacation so this was my first week with her being home with me so I thought I should do something special. I made a puppet out of an old sweater of mine. We named him fred and we played, watched Inuyasha, drew, and build blocks with him. I also had an idea of making a little home movie with her and Fred about being in space. She wasn't having it. My wife got this app that turns her digital pics into polaroids. I have to say they look pretty neat. Here are some of the pics my wife took. Enjoy!


Here are a few sketches I did today and the last two are a drawing out of my sketchbook(skeleton dude) and a painting on canvas board which is a work in progress. ^-^

Okay... Let's try this again.

So yeah. You must be thinking. "Where the HELL have you been?"

Well let me just say it's been tough. So I've been trying to do different things to get my ass back on track. I've been feeling a bit off about what it is I really want to do. So I have a few new sketches I want to share and will be doing so soon. For now please enjoy some pics of places my bunny friend has visited in L.A.
