I keep all my sketchbooks in a beat-up red suitcase. By all my Sketchbooks I mean there is stuff going back to my first years of art school ( I date the oldest one there at about 2001). I have books going back even farther in my underground chamber deep in the earth’s crust where they are safe from your hands and those of the mole-men. However nearly all the Sketchbooks I have made since the summer before my first year at art school are in my room in this piece of luggage. ( Photo by Victoria Vu)

UPDATE: The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom is out now! Get It! Watch the official trailer here! It is very surreal, The team at the Odd gents have been working towards this moment for so long and now it is going to actually happen next week. The news and articles have begun in earnest starting to report on the release. Some people have been asking me how I got hooked up with such an awesome gig.

My store currently contains prints and original ink drawings with more planned for the future. Operators are standing by.

I have an iPhone, and I wanted some of my imagery to fill up my phone’s wallpaper. Mainly because I am a narcissist, but secondly because I couldn’t resist having a screaming T-Rex greeting me every time I tried to unlock my phone. So it got me thinking other people may want them too…besides my girlfriend and mom of course.

Now that I only have one job, I am starting to get a little restless. To fill the void last week I attended an event hosted by Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School.

On Sunday I went to the Drawing Club’s once a month Sunday long pose session.   I have been going to their Thursday night gatherings on and off for a little while now.  Bob Kato , who hosts the thing, does a really nice job of setting a good mood, as each session has a specific [...]

In case you hadn’t noticed I have a new main page image.  The last image I had posted there of myself, although dear to me, was done more years ago than I care to divulge.   So I thought I would make a painting specifically for my own website, which I have never really done before.   [...]

So the last few months have been thankfully very busy for me.  I have been working on various odds and ends.   However for this post I wanted to show off some color samples I whipped up for a potential project.
I in a bit of a lurch and was looking for more consistent work. So I [...]

Here is the sketch for the recently added painting: The Claw
As the title suggests I am trying to play with the different displays of emotion . I really wanted to convey the horror in the monster’s face and the unbridled joy in the girls. I am having a lot of fun with this [...]
