More character design inspiration.

One of the best lessons I learned in character design from my teacher in college, Mike Genz, was that everything in the world was made up of a combination of 3 shapes: circles, squares, and triangles.

crying clown boy

I was watching this video on youtube and was completely inspired to clown the crying clown boy in cartoon form. I plan on taking my sketchbook to more public places, so count on more entries like this in the near future. This is by far one of the best things about drawing. [...]

kaelou

My friend Alex posted this on his blog. This is an amazing piece of animation. I really enjoy the design and style of timing that was used for this project. Fantastic! It was originally made in french. If you want to see the english version go here.

robot wars will be a reality within 10 years

With the accelerated versatility of technology and its increasing use in the field, an interesting and concerning reality will be here well within our lifetime. Robotics in combination with bio-technology are what seem at a high forefront with the human species. I see a more drastic merger of the sciences in the future.

dr. seuss horton hears a who tragnark toy

Hey so I guess I can talk about this now, since they’ve announced it on Vinylpulse. Thanks Jack.

Dr. Seuss mesmerized generations (and continues to do so) of children with numerous books filled with his unique drawings and memorable rhymes. Horton Hears a Who!, one of his most popular titles, tells the [...]

black sheep

One dream of mine since watching movies was to have a starring role as a zombie. It would be a delight to stumble about while drooling without being looked at in disgust for it. Did you ever notice in a zombie movie there is often one “special zombie” that never gives up? [...]

my spheron magnetic race car is awesome

I was at Target yesterday walking around because I needed to get new 9 volt batteries for the fire alarm and my clock. Something that I do if I have the time is stroll through the toy section to see what new craziness is being released to entertain the kids. The wife and [...]

It’s taking time, but I’m finally starting to upload images of selected gallery shows and events that I’ve participated in over the years. You can check out what images I have up so far by clicking here. I’ll be updating it regularly from now on, so this will be the only multi-event update.

monsters in my head, monsters under my bed

My friend Greg Hardin hosts this sweet drawing forum over at Drawergeeks. It’s pretty cool because he started it to give studio artists an outlet to draw for the fun of it, just like scribble-time at recess! Yeah!

The drawing theme for this week as “Monsters Under My Bed” and I started thinking, what [...]

super mario world: hacked

What’s better than Super Mario World ? Not too many games in the spiral galaxy….unless it’s Super Mario World: Hacked. I have to give the people playing this game credit, the patience to succeed in this version is an ultimate test of focus and will.

gold at $950 after record high

If you live in the US and are paying attention to economics, you know that the value of the dollar has been dropping. In fact, it has down nearly 40% against the Euro since 2001. Is this a thing of concern? Some would say no, and that it is a down-swing that [...]

sleep paralysis propels people into a spirit world

My friend Joe sent this article through a message board today. This was very interesting and sparked a discussion amongst us about the issue. It’s widely reported that people have the experience of “waking up” in the middle of the night to some sort of dark presence and a weight on their chest…unsettling. [...]

rubot II – the rubik’s cube solving robot

This is the new version of RuBot by Pete Redmond from Dublin, Ireland. There are cameras in the eyes of the head that scan the cube before the pneumatic arms solve it. It usually solves the Cube in about 35 seconds (not including the scan) no matter how much it is mixed up.

The solving [...]

mysterious pyramids of tenerife

I am curious about pyramids. They appear in many cultures spanning the globe, with a air of mystery as to their creation and absolute purpose. The Golem’s kingdom of Soledad was heavily influenced by my research into this phenomenon and its history. What I like about art is it allows us [...]

spiderwick chronicles

I’ve been falling behind seeing new movies. Things have been a bit hectic with art, so yesterday was a good reprieve from that, even if for only an afternoon. The wife and I went to go see “Spiderwick Chronicles“, which is based off the best-selling books by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black.

I was [...]
