MERRY BELATED X-MAS, EVERYBODY!!!

For Christmas this year I got a Wacom tablet, so I decided to do something festive to celebrate! I hope everybody had a happy holidays!!!

TWISTED TATS

This is my 48 Hour Lockdown film that I finish two weekends ago, and was showed this weekend in the Lockdown Show. The word for this Lockdown was "Piranha." There was a great turn out this year, abou 27 films, and I highly recommend that you check them out (They should be on YouTube by now). The name of my film is "Twisted Tats" and I hope you enjoy!

VIVIEN AND THE DINO

It's my niece, Vivien's, birthday this month on the 21st and she requested a drawing of her riding a dinosaur. I did this on my spare time, and used it as an chance to get better at using the Wacom tablets. So, in short, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VIVIEN!!!

CAVEMAN GIBBERISH

This is a caveman design that I might animated for my new "gibberish" assignment. He's name, I think, will be Grah!

PRETTY GOAT

This is Curtis, an award-winning goat that brings back the gold every year from the State and County Fair. He's a character I'm developing in my story class at school.

DANCE, EVERYBODY DANCE!!!

This is something I did for my girlfriend about a month ago.

DAVE GROHL IS THE MAN!

Now that the labs are open at school and I have my new cube, I final finished this drawing I did of Dave Grohl when I was listening to some Foo Fighters a few weeks back. I played around with some lighting effects in Photoshop with this one.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Class and cube sign-ups are this week, and everybody is showing back up at school, so I guess you can say that the year is starting up. I'm totally stoked to see everyone again and get back to business as usual.

SOME OLD STUFF...

These are a few old pieces I found that I thought I would share with you'll. Enjoy!

CHADE CHALLENGE: TELESCOPIC PLACEBO... KINDA...

So I kind of confused the meaning of the word "telescopic" this week with "microscopic" and did this drawing.

By the time Mr. John Dusenberry informed me of the definition of "telescopic" I had no time to turn out another drawing because a group of us took part in the L.A. 48 Hour Film Project and made a live action short in less than 48 hours. As soon as I know if I can post the film, I will. Until then I'm going to try and draw a "telescopic placebo" opposed to a "microscopic placebo."

TECHNOLOGICAL NIGHTMARE!!! AKA THE INTERNET SHORTAGE OF 'O7

It appears the technological Gods have not been smiling upon me because not only did my neighbor (who I share internet with) didn't pay the bill for the internet, but the servers at school caught on FIRE! Ya, that's right... there was an electrical fire in the CALARTS library where the servers are held. So not only have I had no why of scanning and uploading new work, but I also had no internet. So in short, expect some new stuff soon as I have a working scanner.

CHADES CHALLENGE: ELDERLY MERMAIDS!!!

So Ben-JAMIN and I were chilling at the apartment when Mister Austin Madison issued us a character design (aka ChaDes) challenge of elderly mermaids. This is what I managed to do.

PARROTS!

So I'm finally back in Valencia and back to work after weeks of visiting folks and recovering from the year. D-Rock and Chez ( aka Derek and Cole) decided to come up with some character design assignment to keep themselves on their toes, and I've decided to join the club! These are a couple of parrots I've manage to do yesterday. I did one in just straight pencil and the other in illustrator (it's my first attempt using the program so it's kinda crappy). I included the original sketch of the illustrator drawing just so you could see what I was thinking. Any who, I'm still really busy sorting stuff out and adapting to the summer schedule, but I should be posting more often now! My next post will be some "Summer School" make-up work, so to speak...

"CAPTAIN OBVIOUS: VOLUME 2"

The story revolution continues!... This compilation features the talents of Andres Salaff, Ben Adams, Derek Evanick, Dave Quion, and myself. Enjoy!

"SHOT IN THE HEART"

This is my second year film that I made at CALARTS. ENJOY!

FINALLY, A BLOG I CAN BE PROUD OF!... HOPEFULLY...

Hello, everybody! I started a new blog cuz I thought my old one was kinda half-baked and thanks to the motivation of my buddies, Ben and Cole. I'm gonna be using this blog to show my friends and family my work, keeping in touch with my partners in crime, and talking about random adventures. Hopefully this blog will be worth everybody's time!
