Strange things happen when the Clawque strikes 12.

It's that time of year

For the few of you who were asking.. Here's a snippet of what my sketchbook has been looking like recently..
Hope you like :)

Happy Holidays everyone!

Music

Wow.. thanks so much for the comments guys! I have some new work to share after such a short break :)

So this past weekend my brother, his wife, and I were chatting about our tastes for Big Band Jazz (before we went out).. and on the ferry to our island trip we played a game.
I'm calling it:

"He She Me Drawing"

These last 3 pieces reflected what we were talking about earlier, in a subconsciously jazzy abstract way. This was our first collaboration.

A BIG Thank You to Ken & Jenny..
Hope you guys like it! :)

My piece for the Street Fighter show for those who aren't in LA.. and the link again here just in case you haven't seen the other great artwork @ Nucleus...

late night update night..

There's a show going on at Nucleus in LA which myself and many other AMAAZING artists will be a part of April 25th.. here are the details:

I would post my piece, but that would defeat the purpose of you going to the show... besides, I'm not quite done with it yet..

Feel free to check out the link and go if you can!

Demons in strange places

Trying to be weary of their appearance...

Ye Olde Panic!

No real intention here when I started.. I just had an itch to turn abstract shapes into something.

today I escaped fire..

it was crazy...

...continued..

Teaser 2... slowly and consistently.. kind of..

new piece

Here's a detail for a new personal project that I hope to finish for the next Comic Con (seriously inspired by all the talent out there)..

beyond the blog...

On top of a little bit of soul searching, there are a couple of things I'm working on at the moment (which is kind of why I haven't been posting too much).

1 - I helped out with an upcoming charity event for Miyazaki (organized by the amazing Dice Tsutsumi) to help save the forest that inspired Totoro. Some Uber amaaazing artists were involved..

Check it out:

Jackson posted his piece, so I might as well post a low res version too :)


2 - ...there is freelance, which I can't show or talk about unfortunately.. and..

3 - I will be selling prints at Comic Con in a couple of weeks (for anyone who's interested). I'll be at the Nerve Bomb Comics booth (1329) along with some friends from Lucasfilm Animation.

Feel free to stop by! My book is on hold until I make sure it is as good as I can make it..

.. and now.. back to the stress of preparation.

Stepping back for a moment..

After diving into these paintings for a bit, I realized a few things.

1 - My heart is not in this picture as much as I'd like it to be.
2 - I'm not really expressing my full potential.
3 - There is more to me than I thought (which is good) ..

A friend gave me some genuine advice today, and I will carefully
reconsider how I've been doing this whole thing.

Kinman needs a reboot.. More artwork to come when ready..

chugging along

unfortunately I don't have any high res reference for this painting. So I'm finding out I can't get as finished as I wanted to on this. I'll have to wing a lot of it as I go..

1 more hour per..

fixing drawing, refining colors..


pushing edges..
