AWESOME! Check them out and see for yourself!  http://www.timeoutchicagokids.com/indoor-outdoor-play/indoor-play/75739/our-favorite-new-board-card-and-dice-games-of-2011

Character designs for children's supplements

Just finished completing 4 charcter designs for a line of children's supplements. They are fantasy based character design illustrations that include; a wizard, dragon, knight and a prince and princess. I will post sketches and final art up once I get clearence from ground control... ;-) (the client).

Halloween illustrations

Wanna see what you folks think. On the left is a promo illustration I did a couple years ago I did with a Halloween theme...worked really well for me. On the right is a humorous illustration I did for my friend Vickie's Monsters of Rock Halloween party, which is totally gonna rock, I have to say. Lemme know if you think Frankie jammin' would be a good promo to send out.
Talk amongst yourselves and get back with me....thanx!

Miller Lite character design

Back in March I created two pieces of character design art for Miller Lite for the Mexican soccer team Chivas that they sponser. The one I am posting now is going to be on trucks, banners, etc. in the southwest and Cali to promote the team. The other which I will post later this week will be a 6 foot standee that will be in stores. I am really pushin' for those folks to hook me up with a standee to put in my studio...should be a done deal doncha think...I'll keep ya posted. They wanted me to create a super hero/bad ass character for their mascot...waddayathink...I wouldn't wanna tick him off :-)

Character design comparison

Been awile since i posted due to pressing deadlines (what's knew?). Here's a comparison in a character I did for the game Skateboard Madness done digitally and a version I did for kicks the old fashioned way with pencil and watercolor. It felt weird painting with a brush and paint instead of a digital pen, but it also felt like being reunited with an old dear friend. Took awhile to realize there was no undo command when I painted.I will have to keep doing these painting refresher courses up...Waddayathink?
