Tim Burton

Getting back in the swing of things and having a lot of fun just drawing. Here is Tim Burton.

Audrey Hepburn

Hello all!
DB (Drawingboard.org) has a Audrey Hepburn drawing jam and of course had to jump in.

Sketches

Sense I have not been posting in a little while, have been a little busy, I thought I would post some of my sketches for some package designs that I have been working on recently.

George Carlin

The late George Carlin, one of my all time favorite comedians.

inspiration

Very much enjoyed working on this piece. Rendered this image in my spare time in Photoshop and enjoyed every minute of it.

Also I would like to mention in this post a fellow artist's e-newsletter. Allan Burch, the man always has something to say and always touches on very good issues for the art community. So please go check his blog out and you will find his link in my favorite links. His post "Facing Fears" will direct you to getting set up for the Allan Burch e-newsletter!

Until the next post, happy doodles!

Judge Dredd Sketch

Fast sketch before turning in for the night. I figure I would jump in on one of the drawing jams on drawingboard.org

Scott Weiland

I did this piece when Scott Weiland was part of Velvet revolver. Have not really followed the band as of late. All in all, great front man.

Concept

Here is a concept painting that I did last year for a project that ended up on the shelf like so many others. Thought I would show something a little different in the old blog.

Hillary and the two Bills

Norm Marshall

Here is the owner of Norm Marshall (NMA). My head boss, I thought it would be fun to do a caricature of him. I thought it turned out pretty good.

Nikki Sixx Caricature

DJ Quall

Ron Paul

This is a sketch of Ron Paul I did a little awhile ago I thought I would post it.

Hostess

Every now and again I work on the Hostess packaging. On this one I was ask to do the ice swirl, which was fun. Created a brush in CS and maybe an hour or two later of working the values I had an ice swirl.

Dickinson

Steve Harris

I did this some time ago, I think this is about the time when I started to learn how to paint on the computer or taking an interest. Still really proud of this one, Steve Harris from Iron Maiden.

Concept Vampires

I did these guys for a challenge, thought I would post them.

McCain Sketch

Rick Baker sketch

This is a simple idea I had of Rick Baker turning into one of his monsters, so I did a quick sketch. I think I'll use this later for a ZBrush model.

CG Society’s “Uplift Universe” challenge

Another challenge is on again over at the CG Society website. Every year I enter this challenge and love the push for creativeness. Last year I entered and had too much going on, on the side and was unable to finish. I think this year I may have a better chance and maybe I’ll go all the way, knock on wood.

Here are some sketches that I have started, trying to get my head around a few characters. I must admit that I have never read the series, so I’ve been doing a little research online. I picked one of the books called “The Uplift War.” Were Robert Oneagle leads Neo-Chimps and they engage in guerilla warfare against the Gubru. If I’m wrong, please set me straight, but until then this is what I’m going to base my painting around.

Obama/Hillary

Hey guys, this piece that I’m posting is a step in another direction with my art. I never have done anything political and I thought I give it a shot with this piece.

Clint Eastwood

Here is a picture of Clint Eastwood. One night browsing the internet for celebrity photos, I crossed this image of Clint and I had to do a caricature of him. I got to thinking that there are very few actors in the entertainment industry that express so much with a look, so no distortions as you would see a caricature.

Harry Connick Jr.

I did this a few months ago and
decided to put it up on the old blog. I used CS to render this image.

Morning Sketch

Here is a sketch of John F. Kennedy, a sketch in the morning to get warmed up for the day.

Daniel Craig

Hello all, thought about doing Daniel Craig as a caricature. Here is a gray value rendering done in Photoshop CS2.

Welcome All To My Blog

I like to welcome you to my blog. This blog is a public journal for sketches, art pieces and to get feedback on my art. I would like to start this first post off with two pieces that I had entered in the ImagineFX's challenges.
