Quick Painting for the Disney Gallery. Trying to hit a home run for spring training. Hopefully someone will like it. It was fun to paint.

Aaaaaahhheeeeeeaaaaaaahheeeeeaaaahhh!!!

Tarzan comin atchya!!!! My DrawerGeeks submission this week. I actually want to take this to a more finished piece.

Bike Nite

Here is a freelance job that I worked on. Lots of fun. And pays the bills. And no I don't gets perks from the place.

Golum, Smee you are Hungry!

Drawergeeks again. Great subjects. And they are fun. Plus it allows me to break away from the norm.

Get Back Here You Star-Belly Snitch!!!!!

This is an older Drawergeeks assignment. I am a big Dr. Seuss fan. So I had fun with this one.

WARNING: MAD CLOWN!!!!!

Here is another drawergeek assignment. I like evil clowns.

Alien Encounter

I was in the mood to draw aliens. Especially after I did that Redneck one. So I was doodling in my book and came up with this cue little alien. Don't you just want it to abduct you?

You might be a Redneck........

Here are my submissions for this session of DrawerGeeks. The theme is Rednecks. I had a lot of fun with this one. Hope you do too.

Painting for the Parental Units

I did this painting recently for my parents for their 29th anniversary. They didn't really do anything for it so I thought it would be a good time to give them something a little more personal.

Hardcore Christmas

This was my tribute to Christmas and Hardcore music back in the early eighties. It makes me laugh.

Vacation Time

Here are some images that remind me of vacation and surfing. Something, I think, everyone is thinking about. At least the vacation part. Enjoy.

ATTACK OF THE CHUPACABRA!!!!!!!!!!

This is my submission for this session of DrawerGeeks.com. It was first a sketch of what I thought the chupacabra would look like. Then DrawerGeeks' subject of "Alien" came to be and so I saw it as an opportunity to finish the piece. I kinda like it, hope you do to.

The Evil of Disney

These are some of my favorite Disney Villains paintings. Along with the Chernabog piece posted earlier. I painted a couple of headshots but I was playing with the way their personalities showed through the paintings. The Hades piece was pretty interesting. My framer for the painting had the idea of actually setting the frame on fire to add to the effect. It was awesome. Looked really cool. Cruella DeVille was fun because I caught the moment when she was driving super crazy in the movie. I tried to make it look as if she was coming off the canvas. I think I succeeded because a few of the gallery workers were scared of the piece. Hee Hee. Maleficent is one of my all-time favorite characters. She has grace with her evil which allows me to pose her in a dignified manner and still emit evil.

Arrrrrgh! Matey.

Here are some illustrations for Disney's Cruise Line. You can see the different styles I got to work with. I like painting and doing illustrations and this was a subject different from the average Mickey and Minnie flirting with each other. Plus I like working with perspective. Must be from working at an architect firm.

West Coast, East Coast....I gotcha covered.

Here are a couple of designs I worked on for West Coast Choppers. I love motorcycles, so these we a lot of fun to work on. The mexican wrestling poster was inspired by the movie Nacho Libre. I thought it would be cool do something like that. The funny thing is that I looked a catalog from WCC and it had a mexican motif. Made me laugh. I want to re-work it an make it look old and worn out. I'll finish and throw it up here at a later date.

Book Cover!!!!

I worked on this book cover for a good friend of mine. We talked about the layout of the cover and how she wanted it to look like an od mining town. So that is what I did. She designed the characters so I had to stay close to her designs. We also talked about the feel of the piece and so we came up with this color scheme as well. I painted most of the cover traditionlly, but the type and the ghost characters were added later in photoshop. Very fun project.

Brochure

Another brochure for you to look at. I did this brochure for a company called "WriteStep". I actually had to do two different brochures. One for adults and one for kids. I liked how the kids turned out better. So here it is.

Logos and Brochure

It has been requested of me that I put up some artwork that is a little different from what I have currently up here. So I will. I am going to put up some logos that I have done as well as a brochure. The logos are various marks for either projects or companies. The brochure was for a local chapter of FPRA(Florida Public RelationsAssociations). It was a the need to match their website at the time. So that is what I did. Please enjoy.

Bliiiiiinnnng!!!

Here is the final art for the the drawings submitted before. You can see some differences but all in all they are similar. Boba Fett's head was cocked off to the side. Which I thought was a better pose. It shows a little more cocky attitude. But I was told to change it. I still think it works. Originally I had Leia with this super-massive gun. I thought it looked cool. Again I was told to change it. I couldn't argue with reasoning, they wanted it to be a stormtrooper's gun like the movie. No changes on the stormtrooper or Darth Vader. The shirts flew of the shelf. Later I even spotted it on a guy who looked exactly like what I pictured the demopgraphic we were hitting.

First Drawing...Then Final Art

I found some of my drawings that I did for a Star Wars program. These drawings were the start of a t-shirt program for Star Tours in MGM Studos. LucasFilms loved these. They were really glad that we were pushing the envelop with their characters. Nto sure why that was, but we ran with it. Have to give some props to the guys i worked with on this designs. Darren Wilson and Dave Keefer took the inkings from these drawings and did an amazing job rendering and adding design elements to them. They turned incredible. So what did I do you, you ask? I drew the characters in this style and digitally inked them. So here are the drawings. The final art will follow.
