Snow Day

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Just a project I've been working on for myself. I'm taking some old fairy tales and Aesop's Fables and designing them the way I picture them. I set The Boy Who Cried Wolf in Africa and used an African Wild Dog (aka a painted wolf) as the antagonist. Color test and turnaround of the boy.

Self portrait. Trying new methods in photoshop by painting everything on one layer and not using holding lines.

Starbucks Sketches

spent an afternoon at Starbucks to get some drawing done. my hot chocolate didn't have enough whipped cream, but it was still a pretty good day.

A Hike of Epic Proportions

I recently went on a trip to Zion National Park with some friends. We originally wanted to hike the Narrows, but because of high flash flood warnings that day, we chose to hike Angel's Landing. It was a long, narrow and very tall hike, but the view was worth it!

The Fish and the Fly, A True Story

In loving memory of Grrr the Goldfish, who once caught a fly all by himself. 2005 - 2008

Hamlet Storyboards

This is a short sample from some storyboards I drew for Act IV of Hamlet. This part is Ophelia walking to the river, which I interwove throughout Laertes' conversation with Claudius.

And again...

This is something I drew for Earth Day this year. The environment is one of my greatest passions so I felt moved to create something to spotlight a rather destructive issue. The whole movement to me feels a bit like David taking on Goliath. Seems impossible sometimes, but imagine what a spectacular story it will be if we can pull ourselves together enough to win.

One of my first forays into the world of painting, years ago. Copied from a J.W. Waterhouse painting.

A recent trip to the LA Zoo. Shockingly adorable alligators live there.
The kookaburra and wallaby were a more practical (meaning "soft" or "not rough, scratchy and full of teeth") form of cute.

Also present at the zoo are the less-cute-but-very-funny flamingos.

Back Again!

The top one here is something I drew to put on Christmas cards for my family, and the bottom is a very random idea that I drew for my sister's birthday a few weeks ago.
