walmart

sometimes the greatest place to go for character inspiration is just down the road to the ol walmart. all kinds of humanity shuffling up and down the aisles just asking to be caricatured. i take a mental photograph of the most interesting ones (in as uncreepy of a way as possible) and sketch them as soon as i get a chance. heres one of em:

Monster party!

My awesome little son turned 1 this week and my wife got crafty and threw him a pretty sweet monster party. My humble contribution to the decor was these little party monsters to hang on the wall. Kind of fun just playing with some simple shapes.

. . .and so the kindly old wizard raised the alien boy as his own son. (9/27/13)

I just felt like writing a really long post title.

abandoned settlement

Ive been crushed by deadlines the last few months at work and Ive been thoroughly neglecting this blog, so now that I have some time I thought I'd change things up a little for this post and show something that actually pertains to my work as a matte painter. Ive been working on this for fun the last little while and finished it up just the other night. The original image is pretty big (over 6k) so if I'm feeling really ambitious I might project the painting back onto geometry and do a camera move through it to take advantage of that resolution. Meh, probably not.

Pilot (iPad sketch 4/6/12)

I've been working insane hours lately but finally got around to drawing something for fun. I started painting him but I'm kind of digging just the black and white look on this one, so here it is:

Not impressed (iPad sketch 3/4/12)

It's been quite awhile but I finally found time to sketch a little something on the old iPad. That little something is your typical, run of the mill nerd.
