Moleskine.

Here are some drawings/sketches I’ve done over the last couple months at work. 

All Souls.

On Sunday I went to my first All Souls Procession down on 4th Avenue. I figured with this more than likely being my last year in Tucson, that it was time to finally embrace part of my heritage. Unfortunately I had to work later that night so I did not get to see the rest of the festivities but did march for a good hour and a half in the parade. I didn’t feel like painting my face so I opted to make a mask. I honestly have not touched paper mache since grade school but liked how my devil mask came out. This would have made a way better Halloween costume than my Paperboy one, which nobody understood. Come on, who hasn’t played that classic video game from Atari? Anyways, I have definitely put off this animation project for too long. Think it’s due tomorrow...Here are some pictures. 

Leaf Girl

Here’s a little watercolor/digital piece I put together over the last two days. My friend Shanna sent me a picture of her Halloween costume and I thought it was adorable. She was a bag of old leaves. I told her it should be made into a painting. On the original I messed up on the mouth and didn’t want to have to scrap it. So I just added a little scarf...lame. I really wish I could have captured her smile from the photo. Anyways, I have a couple animations to start and will post them once I finish them. 

Update, Yo!

It has almost been 3 months since I have touched any watercolor. I started this one in August and could not figure out how to finish it. So I left it sitting in my “studio” for that time. Every once in a while I would pick up my watercolor block and try and pencil in the rest of the image but would end up erasing it. The figure was placed too far low on the paper and I had already started painting the damn thing. Last night I decided to just go for it. Basically this is my own version of Hideo Kojima’s Pyscho Mantis. I like how it came out for the most part. I keep telling myself I need to work on environments to put these figures in. Chelsea, this doesn’t count as my watercolor. I’ll have a new piece for you soon...

After Effects.

I’m currently taking a class on After Effects at the CC in town. The class is total garbage but I am learning a bit. Here is my first kinetic typography project. Took a sound bite from the movie Juno...

Here’s a quick digital painting I did today. I painted on top of a sketch from my moleskine. I want to go back and add more detail.

Work Painting.

I brought my computer to work today. Hoping to bust it out during my 2+ hour break. Doodled and painted for a good while and came up with this face. Digital painting without a plan is difficult. I'm also trying to develop a painterly look to these digital pieces.
