Updates…

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been almost 6 months since I quit the day job. I kind of expected to have a little more free time with side projects. Things have been too busy for extra curricular shenanigans. I even had to bail out on a stop motion music video for Danger Mouse. Would have been fun.

I definitely have quite a few surprises coming up.

These past few months I’ve been hard at work illustrating a comic book series that will be premiering at SDCC this year. There will most likely be a panel set up as well. Unfortunately, I can’t share any of it and I can’t do any name dropping, either. Sorry, agent P.W. Herman won’t unveil his secret mission just yet.

Another project I’m trying to get off the ground is a vinyl toy series called SomberSo•SoSomber (working title). The preliminary models will be carved out of wood for exhibition purposes and then duplicated out of vinyl. They will come with hunter/gather accessories and a hunting dog will be sold separately. Here are some preview sketches:

I might start a KickStarter for S.S.S.S.

More to come…

Infamous Apparel (owned by department store Tilly’s) stole a design I did for the Salvation Army’s Wardrobe Apparel.  It is currently on their store racks.

100% of the proceeds generated from TSA’s clothing is donated to people in dire need, world wide. People holding onto their lives depend on this kind of support. For shame, Tilly’s, taking money away from those in need :\

My design:

Infamous’ knock off (notice they didn’t even bother changing much):

Welcome to the apparel industry, folks.

Original photo by Montana Merida of christopher-walken

I don’t usually use found images this way but when I discovered the original photo I found it extremely inspiring. I felt compelled to recreate it just like that one kid that is moved by the most amazing sci-fi film, runs home and draws all of it’s battle ships and characters.

Corey S. Lewis’ SHARKNIFE
After I drew this piece it sat on my desk for days. I colored it pretty quick so I’m not exactly sure how I feel about it yet. Leaving it as is, though.
Hopefully, this will be my last fan-art piece in a while. There’s other stuff I’m planning on tackling.

Hybrid Crew - Mural

My last day at work, at Hybrid Apparel, consisted of painting the warehouse floors, which is being converted in to an office space. We worked our asses off crawling and painting for some very long hours. In fact, our deadline consisted of just one day. Eventually, we left around 2:30 am, pretty exhausted yet proud as can be.

Happy New Year everyone!

A whole lotta changes coming up this year, from-the-get-go!

For one, I will be updating this thingamajiggers more often. Second, I won’t be doing as much apparel art as I used to. I’ll still be taking on the occasional apparel design commissions from time to time but it is no longer a part of my day to day. I’m venturing on to other art related fields.

Also in the news, I am honored to be included in Taschen’s Illustration Now! Vol.4 

Others artists include: Martin Ansin, MC Bess, Yuri Ustsinau, Gabriel Moreno, Jason Raish, Nicoletta Ciccoli, Fred Sebastian, Zenk one and lots lots more.

…yup, just a new sketch.
Edit: I just put this up for sale. I hardly ever sell my originals but it’s time I start letting some of them go.

I did this for Nike’s House of Hoops store in Spain (circa 2010). The  title in the signage is custom type. I rarely get a chance to create  type for Nike. Which is what made this project was a whole lotta fun.
This is something not shown in my portfolio, yet. I’m realizing there are more unseen artworks hiding in my hard drive…
