I worked on this with Zach, Jeff and Matt. Enjoy!

Brickworld 2010 Intro

Here's a short intro video I made for the Brickworld 2010 LEGO fan convention in Wheeling, IL. "Bricks In Space" was the theme for the event.

Because I'm Scared of Everything

This is something I did for the Art House Co-Op.

I still think the spider looks "stickery". Any suggestions on how to fix it?

I c@n has Robot 2!

Hey guys and gals,

Here's a little sculpt I did over the weekend and finished baking today. He's made out of armature wire and Sculpey. He still needs to be painted, but I might try making a mold of him first.

a few sketches from my commute

Battling the Why-Isn't-Your-Room_Clean Monster!

The only thing that can distract the Monster from its rampage is...........an A++ Report Card!

"Dangle"

So Here's Dangle, one of the main characters of Matt 'n I's current (Well, one of .. we have many) Projects. He was originally being made as a Stop Motion Puppet, but I decided to just make him a pose-able figure...for self motivational purposes . He's made from a sweater sleeve, two t-shirt sleeves, some felt, Wire, epoxy, foam and Sculptie. I hand-sewed all his clothes, and even "embroidered" that little heart on. See more pictures of this guy over at my Blog. :)

"That's not a songbird..."

Did I mention that I've been obsessed with Color Burn recently???

Vertigo

Sometimes I get dizzy....any constructive criticism is welcomed....

Octopus!

Me and a friend have a painting challenge going to try and get us to paint more. Here's my first attempt at painting in, oh, 2-3 years?
I got this strange octopus Christmas ornament late last year. It's sparkly and shiny, so I decided to paint it. Let me know what you think.

The final piece is 5x7 done in acrylic.

mini painting

I'm taking a painting class again! Our homework was to do a 2"x2" portrait in oil paint. It's really really hard to paint that small...especially when you don't have any good small brushes.

Still not in love with oils. Watercolor seems so much easier....and cleaner.

OHHHHHHhhhhh wheresa my brotha?

Very grumpy Luigi.

Is Luigi green with envy....eh, EH?

I mean his brother is sooooooooooo popular. That fat bitch.

What was that!

So.. here's a something I did the other day. I don't know why I'm addicted to that Ghost Hunters show .. its so fake.. I'm gonna go ahead and blame my childhood for that one, because if there's one thing that it taught me, it's that there's " Two in the Box, Ready to go... We be Fasts.. and THEY BE SLOW" ... and to "Never Cross the Streams"

Happy Ghost hunting,

Pepe

more Dr Sketchy's!

Themes be damned!

Last Saturday's Dr Sketchy session: a tribute to The Legend of Zelda, with the beautiful Justine Joli as female Link.

theme(s) for December

This month is always crazy, one reason for this is travel! If you are taking a long flight or even if you are just traveling on the subway, all the other people traveling or "enjoying" the holiday spirit in the city make your normal travels even more crazy. So share any kind travel related stories, rants, images, songs, films, or even route maps!

Kinda Food Related...right?

2 pieces I did for a comic anthology. Semi-food related.

word.

Where does the stuffing go?

In advance...I apologize.

More Food

Yes, I have a problem.

All Da Pumpkins

Anyone who's encountered me at any event where food is offered has surely heard me complain about overeating-related stomach pains. During this season it gets worse because I LOVE PUMPKIN EVERYTHING!

"The Prickly Pear"

Hi Friends,

So I had a little stream of consciousness sketch session the other day with food in mind and this is the strangeness I came up with. I want to see more posts, people! This sketch took all of ten minutes! Get your creative on! Its everyone's favorite- food!

I am an air head

Seriously...as of this moment my head is full of air...silence....nothing. I'm attempting to work on a short film of my own and am having an extreme case of writer's block.

I'm posting this not to ask for ideas but rather to inquire about everyone's methods for how they generate their own.

Do your ideas come to you in a dream? Do you see a message in your cereal? Do you visit a fortune teller? What?

I appreciate anyone willing to reveal their tactics used to acquire inspiration. If you're unwilling or unable, I will be satisfied if you expose any RPG addiction you have (or have had) so I can justify my obsession with Dragon Age.

Thank you in advance.

And it's food related ..yay!

So with the combination of our addiction to the show 'CAKE BOSS' and Matt's Birthday .. it was decided to make an awesome FlapJack cake. Here's how our efforts panned out. Anne Marie ( Matt's girl friend, for those not familiar) bake us the cakes and help with the Fondant, ( AKA the sugeriest thing on the face of the planet) which we used for the whale's blue skin. She also made up the different colors for the modeling chocolete 'Flap Jack' and 'K'Nuckles'. Matt Sculpted that sweet K'Nuckles figure out of diffent colored chocolete and I sculpted the Flap Jack. As far as how it tasted .. you'll have to ask someone who ate it .. all I had was Flap Jacks head ... his sweet sweet solid chocolete scupted head ... Ugghh my tummys starting to hurt again just thinking about it ..

Hey- so first post here.. sorry I missed out on Halloween! In case you didn't catch this on facebook- here is a cartoon I did of something that totally for real happened when me and Kyle were at a club in Scotland~ Three dudes in kilts! Friends giving me wisdom about how the perfect Scottish doesn't exist! Another friend dancing with a guy they have mistaken for Kyle!

Edorable :9

I am so happy it is food month, I can post my muffincat!

Pastel

Here is a pastel I did for a client's CD cover yesterday. We're not using it since she feels it doesn't look much like her (i agree) but I thought there was some nice stuff going on in there.

mildly food related, so i'll post it here too.

pumpkin.... the aftermath.

I know halloween is over, but I thought the way my pumpkin had rotted was too funny. So here it is. Its kinda food related too, right? Pumpkin is food.

For you, Pagano.

This is kinda old. I don't really remember drawing it. It was probably for a story I was writing.

November Theme: Food

Hi all,

Thanks so much for all of your great Halloween related posts! I thought the whole theme thing worked out well (tell me if you disagree) so I thought I'd propose a new theme for November: Food. November's holiday is of course, Thanksgiving, which is pretty much all about eating... oh, and being thankful about stuff. I GUESS you could post something about that, too.

Obviously if you have stuff that isn't food related, post it anyway... but if anyone was looking for sketch/animation inspiration this month... ALL HAIL THE MIGHT NOMS!

The still life above is OLD and you may have seen it on my website- a college drawing midterm from Pratt. Needless to say I'm still pretty proud of it (please note the bra and panties I threw in for kicks.) Thats all for now, folks! Happy arting!

Slightly more than 48 Hours

I made this video a couple of weekends ago as part of a 48-hour film contest. This version took a few more hours than that because I went back and worked on it a little more after I turned it in for the contest. Requirements for this film: Had to be a combination of sci-fi and horror and include the name Herbert Lawrence and a salt shaker.
