Here's a layout that I made the other day. Its for an illustration that will be hung at The Gallery Espresso coffee shop in Savannah, GA. I'll be having three works hanging which I'm pretty excited about!

The style is totally inspired from layout artist Maurice Noble, the genius responsible for hundreds of Looney Tunes backgrounds. I used a chalk-like brush to add a bit of texture here and there. It will look much better once the characters are added. I'll be posting the piece soon!

Doodling penguins

So here's a WIP (or a work-in-progress) of some characters I'm working on. I had posted the roughs a few posts down and now I'm adding ink and color. The gray squares are there to cancel out that stark white background. I find it difficult to add color with just a white background, so usually I'll slap some shape with a muted neutral color behind what I'm working on. For me, it helps to see the color in some sort of "context."

I'm pretty happy with how they are starting to look. Not too sure about the girl's hair color though. There's something familiar with it (her?), in my opinion, and I feel like the hair color is what's doing it. We'll see. As of now nothings finalized.

Hi everybody! (to said a la "Dr. Nick" from The Simpsons)

Feel free to spread the good word and such, I'm currently looking for an internship this fall...*cough* shameless self-promoting *cough, hack*

Thanks much and stay tuned!

Here are some character designs I've been doodling lately. Two are based off of some co-workers of mine. One of them is the penguin. I'll let you ponder over the other...

Hey All!

I just wanted to let you all know that, no, I haven't forgotten about my blog. I've ended a crazy/stressful spring quarter and am currently enjoying my summer break till summer quarter starts up. I will be posted soon though, I'm working on something at the moment right now.

Be on the lookout!!
