Owls!

Over the weekend I painted a bunch of tiny owls, who doesn't like owls?

Nose-Stach Joe

Okay people I've been really busy! To busy to really post anything and I'll probably be too busy for awhile. In the meantime this is a drawing of Nose-Stach Joe who can grow a mustache above his nose.  

 

Stills from Holiday Road

I finished animating the holiday road short!  That was fun. It was nice just to do a quick film. I think the idea of doing a short seems really daunting because I want it to be good.  I went into this short with the idea that it wouldn't be perfect.  That it would just be a little silly crappy flash experiment.   That helped keep it fun. The short is really silly but I think it'll play well in the Holiday Roads film. I'm happy with it anyway. I can't put the short online yet.  Maybe around St. Patrick's day.  In the meantime here are some stills. 

Holiday Road

Hey!!!!  I've been busy! I agreed to animate a short film that will play in a feature film of shorts called Holiday Road.  Each film maker was assigned a Holiday and the films will play in order of the holidays in a calender year.  Me and Bobby got St Patrick's day!  A totally awesome holiday!  Thats what those leprechaun drawings were for!  I'm pretty far along animating it, but I'm just going to post my first few idea sketches.  I wanted to make something quick, easy and fun that I could make without killing myself (I still have a full time job and important side project).  I like the way its coming out!  It's really silly!  In a few weeks I'll post stills.

Art Benefit

These are the paintings I did for an art auction whose proceeds will go to  ZOE and She Dances, two organizations that are dedicated to eradicating human trafficking and providing after-care to victims that have been rescued.  The auction will be on June 17th in Valencia CA.  For more information, or to participate please go here: http://artbenefitjune17.blogspot.com/

I'm still on the cat theme!  These are the two final paintings done in acrylic:  

The three digital paintings below were sketches I did for ideas.  The 1st one inspired the paintings.

Matryoshka doll

A few years ago my friend Joice Ozaki game me these little wooden Russian dolls for a birthday gift with the thought that I would paint them.  Well I finally did! I've had them displayed with some small cactus plants on a cool old spice rack above the dining room table.  It looks nice!  Like this:

I wanted to paint the dolls to match!  But mostly I just wanted to have fun with them.

Kitties!!!

I wish this would happen in real life.

The Grandma's Virginity Podcast

Hey!  I did the episode artwork for this week's Grandma's Virginity Podcast! I love this podcast!  Well I love podcats. They really get me through working on something tedious or boring.  My favorite Podcast by far right now is the Grandma's Virginity Podcast! So this is very exciting. The podcast is basically 2 hours of Justin Roiland, Ryan Ridley and Jackie Buscarino arguing in a very funny and entertaining way.  Its great, I couldn't recommend it enough.  Heres a link:
