Merry Christmas!

I made this house for my mom's christmas town. Its a balsa wood model of the house they built and just moved into.
I posted a bunch of pictures on flickr of all the food I ate over the holiday. yeah!

Chumbys Rollin' along!

I'm up to the detailing part! Its kinda my favorite part, so hopefully it should go a bit faster.

Fresh Produce Pictures

Fresh Produce opened last week! There are lots of pictures up on flickr here and here. It looks like there was a good turnout! I really like Ryan Bubnis's square head paintings.

They have put most of the works up for sale on-line. Maybe you'll find some last minute holiday gifts!

Colorink issue 1 out now!

I just got my copy of the Color Ink Book. Its a coloring book featuring lots-o-underground artists and its only 10 bucks! You can check it out here.
I posted the drawings I did for it back here.

Oh the plan!

This is what I am painting on the Chumbys! Again, you can follow this project on flickr!

Drawing transfered

I've finally finished transfering the design on all of the Chumbys. Because Chumbys have a soft body, and the seams are all a little different, I couldn't use any tracing tools on them. I had to draw the design freehand on all 6. This is the most cumbersome part for me. The rest should go faster!

Check out more pictures of my custom-in-progress on flickr!

Next Project! Chumby!

Look what just arrived!
I little while ago, I posted pictures of a custom Chumby I had painted. (you can check out that post here) Whats a Chumby? Its like a clock radio/bean bag/rss feeder and more! Its better explained on the Chumby website, but you can do things like listen to pandora, read blogs, facebook, check email, play games, ect. Its definitely a fun gadget (christmas??) and exciting new platform. The people at Chumby designed their product to be easily mod-ed and encourage using chumby in creative ways, as seen on their forums and community pages.

Anyway, I am about to customize a series of 5 Chumbys that will be sold through the chumby website. I'm pretty excited about it, and I'll be documenting it right here on on my flickr page. Hopefully I will be able to even develop some of my own widgets! I'm shooting to finish these customs before Christmas.

Oh hey, this is my 100th post!

Google loves me

sketch

The start of a self portrait... I've been a drawing machine lately.

New Comix!

I just finished a short for a submission. Givin' she skull a personality... I will probally color it a little later, but i think it works pretty good black and white!

New Illo for L Magazine

I just finished these illustrations for the L magazine. I made 12 cards of potential cabinet members. More ink with digital color.

I will be participating in AGAST, Annual Gowanus Artist Studio Tour, with the Gowanus Studio Space. Its this weekend, October 18th and 19th. I'll have all my recent work up so come say hello! Plus on Sunday we are having a sidewalk bar-b-que! More info right over here!

New Illustration

I just finished this illustration for LI Pulse. I've been playing around with digital coloring. I'm not sure if i have it down yet, but i thought this came out good. The article was about veganism.

Uber white

Please excuse my backwards photobooth picture!

I've discovered a really great way to fix mistakes when inking. I keep leftover white rapidiograph ink dry in the the little palette pot and when i need to white-out a mistake i mix some fresh rapido ink in with the dried crusties! It makes a super opague cover up. yeah!

Coloring

I've been playing about with digital coloring. Mostly web banners for Skelecore. Check it out!

New Drawings

I did some new pen and ink drawings for this new coloring book quarterly called Colorink. You can check them out here!I think the first issues are to come out in November.

I'm really happy with this new pen and ink styled i've been working with. I think i might make these into a notecard set or something nice like that. Check out the other 2!

Chumby Wumby

I just finished up this custom chumby. Whats a chumby? Its like an rss feeder/clock radio/bean bag. Its pretty fun stuff.
You can check out what chumby is all about here.
