The Fancy Dance

2012-01-18T22:17:00.000-08:00

This is a poster that I did for a my church. Here is another attempt at using Illustrator. I think that it turned out pretty good.

Winter is Coming!

2011-11-09T11:43:00.000-08:00

Don't worry. I am not skipping over Thanksgiving. I just had to do this today for a job.

Playing Catch Up!

2011-11-07T11:34:00.000-08:00

Sorry everybody for my lame not posting. But, I am going to use the age old excuse of being busy. Anyway, don't think quite so bad of me. I did make lots of Halloween stuff this year, I just didn't post any. So here is a colossal amount of Halloween sketches from my sketch books. I also make tons of Halloween jewelry out of sculpey and some awesome paper mache masks for my work but I wont be able to post any photos of them(sorry).

Getting Ready

2011-10-05T21:12:00.000-07:00

Here's another sketch of something that I will paint someday. I think that the little boy turned out cute. I think the mom still needs more work however.

Mommy I want a glass of blood!

2011-10-04T16:49:00.001-07:00

Here is a little drawing from my sketch book. Someday I will paint it.

It's That Time of Year Again!

2011-10-03T16:35:00.000-07:00

As you all know, it is now October. I will be attempting again this year to post something Halloweeny each day except on weekends. This first one is a poster I designed for my job. Everyone that can should come! I am in charge of building and designing a spook alley all in two weeks time! It should be a lot of fun and it is for a good cause.

FINALLY finished!

2011-09-28T13:21:00.001-07:00

I finally finished this stupid fairy picture! I just haven't had any time to paint lately. But, now you can see the last step in my process. Enjoy!

IF: Swept

2011-06-10T15:38:00.000-07:00

Who doesn't love a good book mark?

A work in progress

2011-05-20T07:32:00.001-07:00

I don't normally do this, but I thought that it was about time that I did. Here is a small glimpse at my process. This is a sketch that I drew at work and here is the sketch half way through painting. The finished painting will be posted later.

Happy Valentine's Day Everybody!

2011-02-14T08:01:00.000-08:00

This is for all you nerds out there. If you know the Doctor and his spaceship the T.A.R.D.I.S. then I know that you are cool. Happy Valentine's Day!
(This was made to be printed in card form. So the out side of it is the phone booth and you unfold it to see inside the T.A.R.D.I.S.

It's a Fairy

2011-02-02T14:08:00.000-08:00

I have been practicing again in Illustrator.

Homage to the Tsar

2011-02-01T21:31:00.000-08:00

This is a picture of me and some of my friends from school as the Tsar's family and royal advisers.

Who?

2011-01-19T22:34:00.000-08:00

I finally figured out the first steps to Illustrator! This is what I got. I think maybe subconsciously I was thinking Dr Who. My friend introduced it to me right before Christmas and now I can't stop thinking about it. I have already finished four seasons! Anyway, Hurray for Vectors!

Door in London

2011-01-14T21:24:00.000-08:00

I have been reading the Neil Gaiman book Neverwhere. In the book a woman named Door stumbles bleeding onto a London street. I just thought she sounded cool.

Christmas Spiders.

2010-12-08T16:06:00.000-08:00

The only spider I associated with Christmas up till now, was the spider that spun down from my sister Rosalee's stocking a week before Christmas when I was ten. Rose was scarred for life and the next day as a joke my sister Denise put a spider ring into Rosalee's stocking. It was hilarious.
But now I know a new Christmas spider story which I illustrated for a project that my ward is doing.

October 27th: Little Red in Blue

2010-10-27T16:06:00.000-07:00

October 8th: Skinny bones

2010-10-08T23:08:00.000-07:00

Another one done just in the nick of time. This painting every day thing is hard but way way waaay fun. Maybe it's just because it is Halloween stuff.

October 7th: It's me! Only skinnier and greener

2010-10-07T23:18:00.000-07:00

Phew! Got that up just in time.

Value study for a Halloween Painting

2010-08-26T08:34:00.000-07:00

I just finished a Halloween Coloring book for a company and now I can't seem to get Halloween from my mind. I am obsessed with Halloween anyway but this has made it ten times worse. Oh dear.
This is a sketch for a spread for that Maija the Witch book that I keep redoing.

Princess Coloring Book

2010-04-26T07:48:00.000-07:00

2010-03-16T13:05:00.000-07:00

Character design for my book

2009-09-20T23:35:00.000-07:00

these were fun and quick to paint. I think that the little boy looks like Ron Howard.

I lay my head on my pillow and go to sleep.

2009-09-20T23:33:00.000-07:00

some spreads from my book.

Tuck me in and turn out the lights.

2009-09-20T23:30:00.000-07:00

Aw, how sweet.

Fat Mermaid Queen

2009-08-07T10:24:00.000-07:00

This is my pride and joy for the semester. I think that it might be my best work ever.
I showed this to my six year old niece and she said it looked funny. When I asked her why she thought for a moment and then said she's fat. I laughed and said "Who ever said that there aren't any fat mermaids?"

Finished Tribute to Finals Week

2009-08-07T10:20:00.000-07:00

Here it is folks thanks for waiting patiently.

A Tribute to Finals Week

Another Media piece.

The Shadow Realm

2009-07-15T16:54:00.000-07:00

I don't like this one a whole lot. It was another Media piece. We had to have warm shadows and then put tape over it. Then we painted the cool light on top of the tape.

Dark House

2009-07-15T16:52:00.000-07:00

This is a dumb oil lift out I did for Media Experimentation.

There is still some text to be added.

Tin Angel

2009-04-16T08:21:00.000-07:00

I hope that you all can see this. I hate posting with nothing but a camera. I would much rather use a scanner.

This is a little thing I did for a friend. This is supposed to be a Kenyan woman who is made out of tin.

GOOD NEWS!

2009-04-07T08:57:00.000-07:00

Guess what everybody! I HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED INTO THE BFA PROGRAM!

Can't Breath

2009-01-29T09:14:00.000-08:00

This is my latest. Guy Francis told me to do this one. I had done a quick sketch of Guy's fat cat Chubbs. I thought it was bad but Guy liked it and told me to turn it into a painting so I did. I really like it now. I guess Guy knows what he's talking about.

2008-11-18T19:37:00.000-08:00
