Princess Jedi Soccer Team

2011-11-09T13:12:00.000-08:00

A few months ago I did a logo for an old friends daughters soccer team. Apparently the girls were able to vote on the name of their team. What they came up with was "Princess Jedi"! I thought that was too cool. Here are the girls debuting their banner at their first game. I'm happy to say the girls really loved it. I think t-shirts come next. Thanks Liz.

The theme was our friend DRP http://davidryanpaul.blogspot.com/

Muppets

Mike Tyson's Punch Out

Our friend Karin's art style. http://www.stumpytown.com/

Extinct Animals.

Werewolves.

These are some warm-up sketches we artists at PopCap would do for a while. Each day would be a new theme and we would only have 30 minutes to do them. Some were better then others.

Hominids

2011-08-25T12:38:00.001-07:00

It has been a while since anything has been posted on the blog. I've been hard at work on my web comic series, Hominids. A story about a young group of Neanderthals who stubble upon an unsuspecting human with a mysterious mission. The book is already on it's second issue, so go check it out if you haven't already!

On top of the comic you can check out concept art, guest pin-ups from various professional artists, a blog about the original character back from when I was a kid, and a store with great merchandise!

This was the company Christmas card I designed a few years back.

The family Christmas card 2008. Each ornament represents a different family member. Must once again give props to Lindsay for the great idea!

Anniversary gifts

2009-12-16T12:47:00.000-08:00

For our last two anniversaries I added onto 'The Adventures of Lindsay and Jordan' with the
new and improved 'The Marriage of Lindsay and Jordan'. Each year she'll get a new piece
chronicling one of our favorite memories from the last year.

I don't know any Zartan.

Pop Cap

2009-12-15T13:45:00.000-08:00

This is a title screen I did when Pop Cap was transfering their games to Playstation 2.
It was the only piece of new artwork needed for the PS2 version.

The Iron Giant Project

2009-11-03T10:54:00.001-08:00

This piece I did for a gallery show, celebrating the 10 year anniversary of The Iron Giant. All the artwork will be posted Nov 8th at this website; http://irongiantproject.blogspot.com/

I wanted to do a piece of what I would have liked to see in a sequal. Ten years after the events of the first movie, the Giant finally puts himself back together again. When he goes searching for Hogarth, he finds out Hogarth is in Vietnam. All the while an invasion is approaching, with some familiar looking machines. It is discovered that the Giant was just a scout!

2009-08-17T10:33:00.000-07:00

I received a lot of good feedback from the Liono sketch that I decided to go in and paint it.

The Adventures of Lindsay and Jordan

2009-08-16T17:21:00.000-07:00

Lindsay came up with the brilliant idea for the center pieces at our wedding reception. Each table at our wedding was numbered with a different year in our relationship. Each year was imagined in comic cover form. Our first year was of my junior prom.
Year two was at the Great Sand Dunes in southwest Colorado.
Year three was at Universal Studios in California.

Year four we spent some time in San Fransisco.

Year five is in Mexico, at a bar with swings as our chairs.

Year six I was Robin in the Batman and Robin Stunt Show.

Year seven was our first year living in Seattle.

Year eight is of us exploring much of Washington State. This is at Deception Point.

Year nine is at Multnomah Falls, Oregon. Just outside of Portland.

Year ten we celebrated in Wistler, Canada. This is where I proposed to Lindsay.

A Troll Through Seattle

2009-08-16T16:05:00.000-07:00

As our wedding favors to our guests, Lindsay and I created a mini-comic that combines her photography with my artwork. The story chronicles our adventures exploring Seattle with a very special guest.

One of my early sketches of the night.

Travis sketching with his new buddy, Elvis.

I'm concentrating real hard...with a beer.

Mine and Travis's final drawings.

In the end there was a contest for the best drawing. Of course, Travis was the winner.

Travis and I went to a life drawing session that is wholly unique. The model was

Sydni Deveraux "the Chocolate Glamazon", a popular burlesque dancer. Check out the rest of the

Wolvie

2006-04-05T09:50:00.000-07:00

Alien

2006-04-03T23:10:00.000-07:00

You know, I've lost my interest in Aliens over the years, but I'll be dambed if I don't dig this piece.

Studies

2006-04-03T22:46:00.000-07:00

I've been pushing myself to do more life studies lately. It's hard to force myself to do it, but when I do I enjoy it very much.

Just gotta do it.

2006-01-20T11:09:00.000-08:00

These two were also done in art school. The warriors are characters I created in junior high. Keep a look out for some of her early concepts and see how she evolved. Some of them are pretty embarrassing but what the hell.

I did this piece after reading Neil Gaimen's American Gods. I recommend it to all.

2006-01-20T11:02:00.000-08:00

Alright, it's time to start posting some artwork. Most of these pieces are a little bit older, so I thought that I would post these first. Hopefully I'll be able to stick with it.

We'll start with some figure drawings first. Everybody loves nude figures, right! How can you not.

I did these pieces while still in art school.

Smile!!!

2006-01-19T13:58:00.000-08:00

I'm just playin around and having fun.
