sneak peak

Last weekends show was, despite the light flood, all around a success. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to check out what I do! Now that shows over, on to the next project... I've been busy all week getting ready for SCBWI Northern Cali. chapter's "Illustrators Day". Trying to get that portfolio packed with the best I have, and really the challenge is to try and make it look like it was all done by one artist. So, a couple new pieces.

Also this month, postcards are on sale over at psprint! So here is the new little ditty to be sent out soon to publishers, art directors, and the like. Starmaker Aziz, who juggles stars into the sky at night, and on until the morning. Also fits for this weeks Illustration Friday, imagine that coincidence?!

Lately I've been very enamored with the work of a bay area artist, Liz Amini-Holmes. Her work is so mysterious, yet comforting at the same time. So pop on over to her site and check it out...

This weekend, ART SHOW!

The type is a little small, but here is my 'ad' for this weekend's Art On The Square in Redwood City. What is that you ask?... Click on the picture above to read more.

Come down to Redwood City this Friday night or Saturday for a big party. There will be live music, food, and tons of local artists including photography, jewelry, sculpture, painting, and more. The last two were lots of fun, so this one should be even better because it's two days!

Momentum, I.F....

...He took off from the ground and quickly gained momentum, heading straight for the stars. Zooming past the moon, the whole world seemed to come into view, and his heart almost skipped a beat.

G is for Gator!

In honor of these last few hot northern California summer days, here is a hot rockin' gator blowin' his trumpet. Yeah, daddy-oh! Just a fun piece done on scrap matboard, experimenting with technique.

New picture

I've had this idea floating around my head for awhile now, and finally drew it out. This week I finally sat down to paint it. Moses floating down the nile among the reeds, an image I got from a walk around Stow Lake in SF. Anyway, here it is, finally!

Also, a captain for Illustration Friday, which I have not participated in for quite some time! Actually, this is the image for a small stickerbook I made awhile back. Captain Theodore Trickle and his Ocean Exploration Crew. Enjoy!

long time no see!

I know it has been quite awhile since I've posted. I just got on that "vacation slow down" mode. Anyway, took a trip down to Comic-con and had a blast! It is getting very big and crowded. So here is a pic of me and Darth. Also, you've gotta love Picachu!

Thanks to all who made it out to the second Art on the Square last Friday night and came by the Woody Miller table. Lots of fun again and I'm looking forward to the next one in September.

Summer Friday nights!
