I's done added colorrrrrrsh!

had a little extra time... some second thoughts. And, now, with the magic of the color blue, ta-dah! More of a mess!

One down...

...another to go.

"dinosaur from the future protecting it's young".

Went a little faster with this one. Kinda like the way it's turning out, so methinks I'll spend some more noodling it out.

Concept painting...

" a soldier on horseback confronts a steam powered robot "

Brew-lesque be fun!

Oh drink 'n draw... a helluva concept.
What better way to spend St Patty's Day than having a brew in hand, pencil in the other, and a stack of paper.
There was also glamourous model by the name of Lucky Penny sitting 18 feet away from me on a colorfully lit stage, dressed in literally layers of personally hand sewn outfits reflecting the green theme of Monday. Each layer was peeled off to a more revealing costume cleverly hidden underneath. A really fun model to sketch!
My bro, Tim and I went to the Rendezvous bar down in Seattle for our first experience of Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art school.
And, I have to say, it definitely isn't your typical life drawing session! I'm already looking forward to the next session.
Though I felt a little rusty, the Guiness helped me loosen up a bit. Maybe a little too much... haha
Here are some of my faves~

Uber post

Ahhh... breathing room. Nothing like a little bit of time to catch up on a few things. One of those things, would be to post a current blog. Or is it, blog a current post. Or is it just blog..
Anyways, for starters, I thought I'd throw a few more prelim sketches of Secret Squirrel.
Ummm... nothing really anything more to say. They're just sketches... heh

Fin.

One week later... the aftermath of the show. I'm still recovering, and it all worth the long hours and running around.
Here's a look at the final version of the piece I threw together...

The show I'm referring to, is the same one I mentioned in the previous blog entry:

The second installation of The Saturday Morning Cartoon Show at the Ouch My Eye gallery.

What a night! Before things got really crazy, I managed to take a few shots. Luckily, a couple of friends took control of my camera and helped capture the moments. So big thanks goes out to Amy, Mike and Keridwyn!
You can find the pics here:

I also took pics of all the paintings for everyone who couldn't make it to the gallery. Take a peek at all the
sweet artwork!

Please drop by Augie Pagan's blog, too! Not only was he one of the featured artists at the show, but he was also
our paparazzi. Click here!


One final note... My biggest thanks to everyone who came by the show opening! I really appreciate all your support for the artists in the show and for the guys at the Ouch My Eye gallery. They have more shows planned for the rest of the year and you should really head down and check it out if you can.
Bob, Mike... special thanks and mucho props to the both of you for everything! Couldn't have put on the show without your help and use of the gallery space!
More thanks to give and it's to all the artists that took part in the show. You're all a very, very talented bunch and it were everyone's fantastic artwork that help put together a truly fun and unique show. Mucho, mucho thanks!
Lastly, to the original Saturday Morning Cartoon Show crew! Dev, Karin, Augie, and Suzanne! A brilliant idea for a show and I can't thank you enough for letting me joining in...
Another one down, and more to go!
