Holy Cow! I'm finally posting some actual art! These are from a series of images I'll be using for self-promotion and other various and sundry uses. I should start posting a little more regularly in the very near future. I'm switching to a 3 day/ 30 hour week at Motorola so I'll have more time to work on my art. It's been on the back burner for the last 6+ months and it's driving me nuts. It will be nice to get back into it.

Substance
So, I bought a painting last weekend. The painting pictured above to be more precise. I really love this guy's stuff. His name is Jason Limon. I believe he's from San Antonio. Click on the image and check out his paintings on Flickr. You'll be glad you did.

World War II
I've started scanning and uploading my dad's photos and other things from World War II. My dad was a radioman, second class, stationed on Guam. If you want to see more, I've started a WWII set on my Flickr account. There are some really cool photos over there already. I should be putting up new photos periodically.

God Bless Bo Derek...
I scored this lovely 14"x32" movie poster this weekend at Yesterday on Addison near Wrigley field. This poster blew my little 8th grade mind when it came out. I was constantly trying to draw it. Bo Derek was forever on my radar. Yet another case of a movie poster being much better than the movie.

Staple! Wares
Here are some samples of the sketch books I'll be selling at Staple! this year. The ones in color are hand drawn and and will be selling for $20 and the silk-screened ones will be selling for ten. These are 3.5"x5.5" paperback Molskine sketchbooks. I should also have larger silk-screen sketchbooks also. I hope to see you there on Saturday!

Derelict
No real story behind this one. Just a doodle that evolved into a drawing.

Wayne Newton
This is my crappy caricature of Wayne Newton. I don't normally do caricatures. This is why.
So, I saw Wayne Newton Saturday night. Live. In Aurora, Illinois. Don't ask me about the strange chain of events that led to me attending said concert. The man is Cheesy, with a capital "C". But, he obviously loves what he does and he can pack the house. I bought a t-shirt.
Fun Fact: The Illinois Wayne Newton fan club calls themselves "The Wayniacs". Needless to say, all 12 of them were female and, well, somewhat past their prime.

Devil Girl Stickers
Woohoo! I got my new Devil Girl Stickers in. They came out really nice. They measure roughly 2.25"x4". I'll be selling them at my table at Staple! for $1 each. What a bargain! I'm also planning on having silk screened moleskine notebooks. The silk-screening gods willing, that is.
Sorry for the lack of posts. Life's been a bit busy. I should have more stuff in the next couple of weeks as I get stuff ready for Staple!.

Possum Creek
This is an illustration/logo design I did for Possum Creek Dance Hall & Cafe. I'm really happy with how this came out. I was trying out a new (for me) inking technique.

Uncle Daddy...
This is a portrait of Austin Radio DJ Rick McNulty. His lovely lady Ellen commissioned me to do the painting. I had some fun with this one.

Frozen River
I took this shot after work today with my iPhone. It looked like someone paved the Chicago River with flagstones of ice.

Pin-Up
Sorry I haven't posted much in the last week or so. I had food poisoning Thursday and Friday last week that pretty much put me out of commission for a while. Hope this made the wait for new stuff worth while.
This is an ink drawing I did today and colored in Photoshop. I don't know if this is the final color scheme. I kind of think the pink hair is fun. Enjoy!

Samurai Helmet
I drew this Friday afternoon at the Dallas Museum of Art. They have this really beautiful complete suit of 17th century samurai armor. It also had the sword, bow and quiver of arrows.
Info: Late Momoyama period- early Edo period. Early 17th Century.
Presented to Mori Kobayakawa Takakage by the emperor.
Leia & R2
I did this a couple of nights ago when I was visiting Austin and hanging out with some of the fine folks in the Austin Sketch Squad.

Post-It Note Art
When I'm warming up my drawing hand, or in need of a break at work, I do Post-It Note art. They're fast, fun, and some of them actually come out half decent. These two are done completely from memory. Yes, I've seen Star Wars WAY too many times. If there is such a thing, that is.

Yoda Vinyl
This is a custom KidRobot Munny I painted for a commission. I customized the ears and made his walking stick out of Super Sculpey. You can see in-progress photos here.
I should be making more art posts this week before I head to Dallas for the holidays, so check back later in the week!
