Truly Outrageous

Today I had some time to do whatever I wanted, so I drew up some fan-art of the cartoon character Jem. I was in the mood for something really bright and girly especially after looking at all the greys and muted colors on my site right now. I think I'll post it there too, to break up the monotony. I loosely based this illustration on her most famous pose, and made more changes to her hair and outfit.

Kitty

I haven't posted in a while since I've been so busy with work and travel, so here's a lil kitten to make us all feel better. Same style as my Panda, Penguin, and Owl I did in past. Hang in there for some more!

Lady Voodoo

Grace Gloria

My Grandmother was a beautiful woman. I wish my reference photograph for this illustration wasn't so teeny, as I would have loved to capture more of her charm and the details of her surroundings. I did this a couple years ago and just found it as I was searching for something else, and thought it deserved a post. <3 you always Gram.

Day Of The Dead

Inspired by my sister who really digs skulls and Dia De Los Muertos.

Burn

I've been trying to digitally paint in this style for weeks now, and it turns out the secret lies in PS5's new brushes. This took me an embarrassingly long time to produce but since it was a first, I know I'll be much faster next time around. I love the soft feel and the flames are almost exactly how I pictured them to be.

Pigtails

My current work-in-progress.

JF Business Card

Business card concept (mostly finished) I did for a friend.

Red Cup Girl

It's just too much fun to draw beautiful women.

Pigtails

I've been practicing using a gradient mesh again, when I get the time here and there. The last one I did was a while ago. I just love the rounded soft feel it gives, and I can't wait to get CS5 and start messing around with the upgrades.

Sony Recorder

When I was illustrating images for the student manuals at work, they had to be black and white. This is a couple years old but I just ran into it on my computer and thought I'd share.

Oscar & Jerome

I sketched these guys for work so they could be used in a video. I based them off of reference photos I found online, which is difficult when the pictures are old and can't be found high res anywhere. Either way, I don't get the opportunity to do portraits much so it's a nice change of pace and I could definitely use the practice.

Spring

Green Eyed Lady

I haven't been very good at posting lately so it's probably good that I don't have many followers anticipating my next doodle. Still excited to have the time to sit down and draw for REAL, but for now another vector drawing will have to suffice. I do like how this little lady turned out. :)

Cleopatra

I've been pretty busy at the Factory lately, so I haven't really been drawing much. This is something I doodled up in Illustrator recently and finally sat down to finish coloring it. I was in the mood for shiny. It's fun to see how drawing with a Wacom produces a different style than drawing with pencil, but I am itching to sit down with some actual paper. There just aren't enough hours in a day!

Stanley Chow Tribute

Stanley Chow is a genius illustrator. I had a little fun relishing in his fresh look by illustrating myself in his style (or, an attempt at his style). If you haven't heard of him, check him out! His Mad Men posters are amazing. www.stanleychow.co.uk & www.stanleychow.bigcartel.com

Happy.

New vector illustrations. Windy, happy and a little experimental. Prints available at Imagekind. http://Suns.imagekind.com

Vampire

I'm not sure why I've been putting everything in circles lately, but I am and no one can stop me!
But maybe I should be stopped before it gets out of control. Either way, there is no doubt in my mind that October is the most wonderful time of the year. It makes me want to draw vampires and witches and fun spooky things. I guess that's not unlike any other day.
