Gesture Drawing

We have a gesture class at work with two models who are actually improv actors and for an hour they just do skits. Makes for some quick sketch fun! These drawings were done in 1-3 mins.








For one class I even managed to sneak in some watercolors.


Stay tuned for some art show info coming up really soon!

Happy Halloween!

Here are the pieces I did for the Halloween micro gallery show:


Every Halloween Fred Stocks up on Candy is about 3"x3". Ink and watercolor.




Candy Bandits is about 3"x6". Again, ink and watercolor. I was trying to tell a little story with a frame that had two openings, kinda like a comic. Not sure if it's successful or not, but I had fun trying.

The show was awesome! We managed to raise a nice chunk of change and all of it is going to charity in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Pretty crazy what can be done with a hallway space that would otherwise just be a dead end.

The Micro Gallery

There may be a new gallery at work.


It may have lots of cool pieces of artwork from an awesome group of artists.


And it could be really tiny.


But if you were to ever ask me about it, I wouldn't know anything.

By the way, notice anything odd with the last picture? Maybe something attached to a pillar that shouldn't be? A table? Could be leftover from a saran wrap prank? I wouldn't know.

Sendak on Sendak

There's a great show going on in San Francisco right now at the Jewish Contemporary Museum. I think it runs until next January. You can find more info here.


It's worth it for the gallery guide alone!

Terrible Yellow Eyes

Nucleus Art Gallery in Alhambra is opening an exhibit displaying the physical pieces of art from a super cool blog by Cory Godbey. The show and blog, both titled Terrible Yellow Eyes, are inspired by Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are."

I grew up with this book. There was no way I could not do something for this. So here's the first piece I did titled Terrible Yellow Eye.


I thought it would be interesting if the Wild Thing that crowned Max king was also the one who ratted him out.

The second piece is called Wild Sea Thing Joins the Rumpus.


I always liked the sea serpent in the book and wondered what happened to him. I think he would be a big splasher. Both pieces were done with ink and watercolor.

The opening is this Saturday, September 19th, starting at 7pm. Should be fun! Hope to see you there.

Ink and Watercolor

I love working with ink and watercolor. I've been drawing this way off and on for a long time. I even tried to storyboard in this style once but it was too hard to keep up with the story changes. Now I just do it for my own stuff.

Housewarming Card


Just a little card I made for some friends. Congrats on the new home!
