The 14th of February

Greetings, friends, acquaintances, family, strangers, pets and lovers (ha hhhaaaa.....). In a couple of hours, we are ripping off that page in our post-it note calendars that says the 13th and welcoming the dawn of the 14th. 
Valentines day.

I did some drawings for the day, as I really.. really wanted too. Here! Look at them!

If the picture isn't particularly clear, I have a personal opinion of valentines day. Many people find it a "holiday" based off of the idea of selling expensive shit to couples, monopolizing on idea of romantic love. Single folks feel left out and, usually, angry, tending to have negative perceptions of love and valentines day all together. My personal life is convoluted and difficult to explain (so I shant) and when it comes to relationships, I tend to be hopelessly romantic and/or alone. I not very lucky with girls, usually. But I feel that the single people, those without a romantic special someone in their lives, actually get to benefit the most from this holiday. Valentines day is about celebrating love. Eternal and unconstitutional love. We are all lucky to have someone in our lives that loves us, and on this day, on this celebration of love, we should be celebrating love with those people. The constants in our lives that love us eternally. So, on this day, go hug a stranger. Call your parents or your brothers or sisters, and spend it with your friends, and let them know that you love them. We are all seeking love, one way or another, and giving a part of our hearts to anybody is a beautiful thing to cherish and hold every day of our lives. Lets start one day at a time.

All my love, and enjoy the show.

Sneak Peak on the Beak

No birds.

As a start, happy new year everyone! I hope that this year (being a year said to be of monolithic global change) will be a good one, full of beauty, success and profit for everyone.

Now, onto this!

For the character animation Gallery show, I have a story. A series of photographs telling the story of a young man traveling the world. Here are some pictures from the piece.

There are a total of 29 drawings. These were a lot of fun.

ENJOY THE SHOWWW!!!!

Christmas in Bakersfield

I'm not in Bakersfield. It just seemed like a cool title. Anyway, here is a christmas chard for my family.

WABAM!

I hope you all have a beautiful christmas this year. With the worries of the end of the world (as trival and nonsensical as they were) the fact that we continue to live to see another christmas is a gift. So, everyone, have a very merry christmas.

And enjoy the holiday special shows.

Crayola

I got some very valuable advice today about exploring different ways to color my characters. So here is an example of me playing with that:

I downloaded a truck load of concept art that went into Team Fortress 2, and I tried to decipher how it was painted. I then explored deeper into other ways to paint my characters, the one on the far right being how I normally do; in my flat graphic kind of way. I gained something really valuable from this experiment, mostly knowledge that I really don't know how to paint at all. But I think I learned something about how to from just doing it. 

This one.. I don't know why I did this. It just asked to be colored. 

Enjoy the show.
