I have always loved mythological creatures and my favorite was a satyr. However they always looked a little weak. So here is a quick sketch of what a tough satyr should look like.

Went to the local starbucks and made a quick sketch of a guy I saw, then tried to make different versions of him.

So we flew for family reunion and I could not help but draw some people I saw. Not my greatest sketch but it was fun to do.

So this is my next trend is fun sketch book stuff. I have been making quick sketch collages (usually I try for a theme). This is my monster page.

It has the awesome voice of Cheryl Chase and key storyboard revisions on the animatic by the very talented Patrick O'Connor.

So a great deal has been happening. I am working at Animax right now on a show called Popzilla really really funny! I hope they keep making more episodes!

I started meditating on the name of the show and playing with the idea of a large lizard and what he can do in his free time with his family. So here are some fun drawings.

More Work

My current work is for a show called "Eli's Dirty Jokes." The show is about 1 minute and is one of the first to make the transition from internet short to television. The jokes are showing on Cinemax between movies. My role is to create background designs that are HD Broadcast ready.

Here are some of my favorites:

Here is my Character Design Work:

Concept Art

2007-10-19T14:13:00.000-07:00

So this is some work at Concept art. I have been very interested in biological morphology some time. My friend Rich works in the video game industry and has been showing me some of his and others work So I thought I might draw some monsters. Enjoy!

Background Design

2007-10-19T13:45:00.000-07:00

So this is my collection of Background Designs. I work primarily in pencil and then use Photoshop and Flash for my finished Backgrounds. I always like to have my characters in the mid-grounds of most of my work. So almost all of these backgrounds are designed to be multi-planar and have animatable assets.

Figure Drawing Samples

2007-10-19T11:11:00.000-07:00

First I would like to post some of my Figure Drawing Work. You can notice later in the collection my style has changed. I have been increasingly interested in the use of Watercolor for figure drawing purposes. The Workshop that I go to is run by Chris Hero at Helms Bakery, it is lots of fun! The poses last for between 1-20 minutes which makes it a real challenge to capture the figure in watercolor in such a short time.
