One day I'll go to Africa

but until then, this drawing'll have to do. I'll try to get more stuff on the ol' blog(promises, promises...) I hope this will hold you lovely people over until the next post. What do you guys think of the black on black? I know it goes against usual illustrative rule but I don't hate this. Let me know! Thanks for coming through!

Puff!

"moorning voodle"..its an eastern european accent..get it..? agh..

Just something to get the blood flowing. Dracula is surprisingly fun to draw--he's real gross but sort of dainty too. That makes for some interesting drawing, if you ask me. Take care guys!

Sketch Dump!!

detail...

I'm gonna dump some sketches from early 2011 for a lil bit. It's old stuff, so go easy on me. Take care people!

a lil sumthin, sumthin...

..to keep the blog from dying. does anyone else listen to Frank Oceans "Pyramids" and see this girl?..No? just me..? okay..

Thanks for looking!

I'm not crazy hapy with this one--it feels a little over worked. So I think I'll go over it one more time. That said, it's been printed and framed and will be in the gallery show my company is having tomorrow night, along with "Malinche". *But YOU guys will get the better version later. Take care!

*now updated to "better" version.

Traitor!

This one's for a gallery show a bunch of story folk here at work are going to have in a week or two. The theme is "Girls!" which is pretty damn convenient from my perspective. Hopefully there'll be three of these paintings done by the deadline--I'd like to do warrior women, like, Joan of Arc and Mulan and all that jazz. This is Malinche.

Thanks for looking guys!

Safe Celebrating...
