Instagram Stuff

I feel so weird addressing all you anonymous but more than likely non-existent I guess "fans" of my drawings and bits but here it goes.

Working on #Herman

I HAVE INSTAGRAM! I have had it for a while thanks to my sister who informed me of it's existence and now I can't stop playing around with it.

#MuniPeople

For me it's a fun little unlimited creative exercise where you gain immediate feedback. I really enjoy that you simply have a square format to work with and a few filters to choose from, or not, to emphasize your image. It's a great way to get your work out there and it's linked to twitter, tumblr, facebook, etc.

#MuniPeople

Also you get exclusive previews of my series #MuniPeople

Panels from #Herman!

Star of the comic Herman himself!

So if you aren't already instagram-ing and you're an artist of sorts or even if you are a visual person you should join us in instagrm! Mind you there are those annoying pictures of some girl in her bathroom with over a thousand likes for no reason and random photos of upcoming child celebrities but aside from that there are some really incredible visual artists who utilize this the same way I do.

Cheers!

The Budos is Upon You!

Here is a mini comic (2pgs) that I did for NoisePop SF 2012.

I was looking through my comics folder to see what I have done over the past year and I have grown astronomically in my skill set and story telling. Crazy! I'll show you what I'm talking about soon. 

Cheers!

Toned Paper

Please ignore the large donut shaped person!!

The well dressed gentleman in this drawing was a kid I sat next to/near whilst bleeding empathy for how cool he was and deeming myself utterly unworthy of being his *pew mate.  I sadly hav forgotten his name but I shall not forget his sense of style or how my jaw dropped when he told me of his success. Three degrees I believe it was, civil engineering, something else, and now architecture. He new everything there was to know about every car ever created, he knew everything about films from director, to photography managers, to actors/actresses, to the drama that happened on set. I'm pretty sure he was just a walking encyclopedia of suaveness. Another thing- other artists will love this- his profile.. DID NOT MATCH HIS FRONTAL VIEW! It was like a whole other person. (which is kinda why and how we met)

NOTE: *our class was in a church, we sat in pews

This is just a sketch done on toned paper while at work. Was pleased with how the copic marker created a shadow. I'm trying to play with various styles. 

Passion Illustration

Here ya go! The Passion assignment.

DJ Turn Tables

Work in progress for class. So far four hours with various breaks due to work and other assignments. SO MUCH TO DO!!! Although, this is only the beginning and I'm learning a great deal.

Another Self Portrait

Because I'm always here..

Beetles Don't Go to School, Or do they?

Today was the first day of class and I spent class drawing a beetle instead of paying attention but I know what the assignment is so it's all good. Will post more stuffs later. I have a lot to show you all. :D

Also, I've been writing some short stories for the Anthology that my roommate, a friend, and I are producing this Fall for APE. I may post some sneak peeks if you're good. ;)

New Sketchbook, New Techniques

Been rather busy and forgetful as of late, here is an update on some new skills I have learned and a new style I'm trying out.

I made a new sketchbook which is 100sheets of cardstock 100lb half white and half antique grey. I am very thrilled with this although I wish they had some darker cardstock than this light grey, but I can just throw some tone on it and mess with pulling lights and darks. The point is that it is cardstock and soaks up ink and watercolor. It's the sexiest thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

Til next time.. keep it classy San Francisco. :]

Homo sapiens and architecture

I'll make an animal post later on, but for now this is some of what I have done this summer.
