Been Away TOOOO LONG

Sorry for the long absence from the blog. It has been a busy month with the holidays and work. Pretty soon I will be switching over to a new blog on my website but I will definitely let you all know when that happens. I just wanted to thank everyone for the follows and comments on here. It has been really cool interactacting with so many of you around the world.

To thank everyone I am planning on doing a livestream soon where you can hang out, ask questions and watch my process of designing and painting. I will most likely do a demonstration of a character design. I am trying to do this before the end of the year and for those interested I will post the time and date on my blog of when I will do it.

Anyways, let's see some art dangnabbit! Here is a new illustration I just wrapped up for the season of giving. Do you recognize all the kids decorating?

HAPPY HULKIDAYS

This will be available as a print in my online store. If you are interested just click on the link below.

Keep it Strange---Sketch of the Day

Getting back into traditional media has been a blast. I forgot how frustrating and at the same time invigorating it is to mix paint and colors and have a final product I can actually hold and touch. By no means am I a great painter, I actually still have quite a bit to learn but that's what I love about art. The ability to experiment, try new things, and have fun. I think as a lot of start our jobs in the real world we forget to do that because our jobs do not afford us the time to do so.

If this is the case, you have to make the time. After all, we all got into this art business because we love what we do. Please do not forget that and continue to have fun and be inspired by not only others but by your own experimentations and triumphs in art.

Be Strange!

Pen and gouche on heavy weight, cold press illustration board

Here is my makeshift palette, not the best organization on here 

but proof that I mixed paint!

Have a wonderfully odd day!

Sketch Friday is Back!

Having a bit more fun with gouche and slowly getting back into painting. Forgot how fun traditional media still is.

Doc Ock!
