Here’s a sketch to add to the 100 pieces list. (Don’t know what that is? Click Here) This “category” was: #82: Can you hear me? At first I thought of the stupid Verizon commercial.. (I think it was verizon) of the guy going “Can you hear me now?…Good.”. But that seemed a little too easy. So after browsing some poses and images on the interwebs, I started brainstorming someone holding a megaphone, but didn’t really like the idea… I felt like I needed a speaker AND a listener to make the concept a bit stronger… I drew the microphone first… then the rest came easily. Enjoy!

Here’s some progress shots of an idea for an “Emo Panda” for my friend’s website: www.hellaemo.com. She started it with a group of friends and roomates when they looked at their past “emo” posts on old blogs… After laughing AT themselves they decided to find the best emo out on the web and help us laugh at others.
“HellaEMO aggregates user submitted blog posts, pictures, videos and quotes; We take those submissions and remix it. This all started from looking at our old blogs and sharing our emo posts. We got a huge laugh from it and we wanted to find more.”

It’s some pretty funny shit… I’m not one to clown when someone is TRULY unhappy, but all too many times, we tend to make mountains out of molehills, only to look back years later realizing how silly it was to be THAT upset over some trivial thing. I can’t help but to laugh every time I open this file so hopefully they’ll enjoy it as much as I enjoy making it.
With all the new mediums and techniques I’ve been trying to learn over the past couple of months, it was nice to dip back into Flash and get back to something familiar. Anyways, here’s the progress shots from yesterday and today. Enjoy!

Before I get started I first wanna thank everyone that came out to OSS: “Relief Package” this past Saturday. It was great to see so many people come out and support, and we raised a lot of money for the families in the Philippines that have been affected by the typhoon.
If you were there, you saw me working on a painting of a girl leaping from a swing that I started the week before. Many of my paintings are done live and are finished within a span of 3-5 hours, so for the most part, I don’t really get as much time to put as much thought or detail in a piece. Don’t get me wrong, I love to paint live, but every now and then I come across an idea that deserves more time, patience and attention. This is one of those pieces. So during my free time this week, I’ve been dedicating more time to creating a more complete work of art, and it feels great. I’m still not done yet, but I’d like to share what I’ve got so far, so, here ya go! Enjoy! (The colors are a little off because of my lighting/camera
