UPDATE on my recent life/work

Ok so i've been traveling quite a bit, back and forth between Pennsylvania and New York the past couple weeks. I've been commissioned to do a painting. It's more or less a panoramic seasonal painting of birch trees. The colors are muted and almost desaturated. There are 4 canvases; 2 of them are 8'6" x 3" and the other 2 are 4'3" x 3" HUGE in comparison to what i usually do. So i had to stretch the canvases myself, then the primer was applied. Then i used black paint markers to outline the birch trees. After, i coated the canvases with another coat of primer but this time it was an "off-white" color so the black paint marker underneath still could be seen under the new coat of paint.


Then on top of the last coat i used a darker "off-white" spray paint to fill in behind the trees and branches. To finish that off i took a brown paint marker and gave the trees texture so they stuck out not as just white wirey poles. Some other work that i have to put up are just some doodles and quick sketches that i've been doing of people on the train lately.....as well as this little doodle i drew on a childs placement while passing time at a RedRobbin the other night.

OLD NEW BOT

This is an old robot that i did about 2 years ago. Dug this one up just a few minutes ago looking for a profile picture for my blogger account here! Hope you enjoy the King.

DOODLES are so much fun!

I DREW THIS....LOOK AT IT

Ok so i should explain this kiddie a bit. I basically was doodling out of a magazine the other day on the coffee table/bench and i came across this picture of this little whipper snapper so i drew his expression and left it in my sketchbook. A few days later i was sitting uncomfortably close to someone on the train who insisted on looking over my shoulder at what i was drawing the entire time. So to direct their attention away from my pad i was leafing through my recent sketches and came across this little joy and i just decided to "add." Enjoy!

Animal man faces!

So i've been doodling all within the realm of "uncomfortableness" lately and so in trying to draw something incredibly uncomfortable to look at, or just plain awkward i expunged these little characters. Enjoy!

BACK!

Ok so i've been running around like crazy lately. I quit my night job at the Element store in times square and i've been freelancing ever since. I've also picked up an internship at ZooYork skateboarding and i'm really learning alot of post-production work as well as alot of interesting steps that i've been able to incorporate into my illustrationg process. I know i've been in and out of the world lately but i promise you in the next few weeks you'll see a big change in my process. I've been taking alot of my contemporary style and incorporating it onto scratch-board which Zoo York has thankfully been using. I discovered that i like scratch board alot. After i was finished with my one graphic for zoo york, the art director simply asked me if i'd like to try scratch board, so i said yeah! And i've been doing nothing but scratch board for the past 3 weeks. I'll have all of that up in the next few months when i'm allowed to but for now i can only show you some of my recent freelance work. Some of it's in the works still, and some is finished.



FINISHED!
