Usagi - Pizza Box Exclusive

Granted I wasn't able to attend the Autumn Societies latest show "Shell Shock" last night at 

Brave New World Comics in Philly.

I still can't contain my excitement to post about the exclusive pizza boxes that were up for grabs. 

I was asked to do an exclusive print of Usagi which would be apart of a special pizza box goodie bag for the show. I don't think the print was actually on a pizza box as depicted above, and honestly I don't even really know everything (the awesome) they contained. So i'll keep everyone posted when I find out!

Link!

Everyone who is anyone loves Zelda, right?
I'm no exception & I've always wanted to do an illustration of Link.
I have no clue what took me so long.

Will Skyward Sword hurry up already? 

Smart Cookie available at Hot Topic

Peer deep into my soul and you'll see that I love cookies. So much that I had to share my love with the Hot Topic world by expression of a cookie T-shirt.
If you're a smart cookie you'll buy one of these, unless you're a man- then you're a dumb cookie.It'd also look ridiculous on an elderly person.

Available for 22.50 - 24.50 at Hot Topic - Buy Here  and check out Loungefly for more awesome juniors T-shirts and accessories.

Just fooling around in illustrator - playing with gradients and negative space.

"Shell Shock" - A Ninja Turtles Tribute

The Autumn Society is at it again with yet another killer show, and this time it's a theme near and dear to my childhood heart - Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Let me just say.....& it has to be said, I (not unlike most kids) was obsessed with TMNT.
That's why such an invitation to participate in a tribute show is nothing short of a real honor.
I'll never forget dressing up as Donatello for halloween & doing high kick action moves infront of the mirror (told you I was crazy about them).

The show will be insane - they even have the turtle van!
So if you're in or around Philly you need to stop on by Brave New Comics to see this awesome show that the Autumn Society put together. Oh and if you have some extra cash and want to buy my piece that'd be even better.

Pot Luck - Urban Light Studios

Here's my latest cooked up creations for Pot Luck - an Urban Light Studios art show currently showing in Seattle. More than 30 artists bringing some eye candy to the Greenwood-Phinney Art Walk. It's going on Noon-6pm today - so check it out!

This is a benefit show which helps raise money for the Greenwood Food Bank.

3B show - Battle of the bands

May 5th marked the premiere of the 3B show down at gallery 1988 (venice location). It was freaking awesome and tons of fun with beer, cookies, and two DeLoreans to boot!
The show was curated by my pal Joe Chogrin - one of the Autumn Societies founders. Artists were given three movie titles to depict starting with the letter B (Back to the Future, Bill & Ted, Beetle Juice).

I've posted the strongest of my three - Bill and Ted!
The framed print displayed at the show sold out almost immediately, but I managed to make a limited edition of 15 - which means you can still get your hands on one for only $25!

Purchase
13x19 signed giclee limited edition print of 15 - on velvet fine art archival paper.

I finished my piece for my very first show,
and If you live in Chicago you should check it out!
The show is Monsters vs Robots - I chose Monster, obviously.
It's open October 2nd at the Oh No Doom! Gallery.
They're located on Milwaukee Ave.

I won't be there since I'm 3000 miles away.
That said, I will most likely be having another show in the spring & I'll attend that.

I love Chicago, cold but being a midwestern native I can handle it... BRING IT!

So Sleepy

I'm tired, so I thought it would be fitting to illustrate my feelings.

Quasar

This is Quasar, I'm going to be making him as a plush.
I've decided to make plush mustache pals for my own fun.
Right now I'm setting his pattern up in illustrator, yay!

Oh my Gouache!

Scrap that last poster, this is the one that's going to go up on my wall.

Down the Rabbit Hole

Merry Christmas

My room

My tastes are dignified

Ohio, Kentucky, Tennesse, Arkansas, Texas

Drove through five states In one day. Kentucky is where my family is from, tons of relatives (that I don't personally know) live there. I'm so tired from driving all day, just arrived in Dallas. Ate some good Mephis BBQ on the way down, I love meat. Rode awesome coasters yesterday in Ohio. All in all it's been fun traveling. Now I get to sleep for 3 hours and head to Austin, meet up with some friends and possibly eat more delicious BBQ.

Update: My hotel is truly magical, I could hear playful childrens laughter throughout my sleep.
When I awoke where once lay a barren land of countertop was now filled with breakfast delights!
My only rightful conclusion is that elves came in and went to town making a feast fit for a hotel guest.

Went to Cedar Point and got yelled at for taking pictures on one of the rides, this is what happens to outlaws.

Moving back to Los Angeles :))

THE BEST DAY EVER!!
I just found out that I got my dream job :D

too happy to sleep right now

Joy Engine

Happened upon this cool art/design website (Joy Engine),

Very Cool :)

Mad Bluebird

This is an illustration of a well known photograph called "Mad Bluebird".

I've painted this for fathers day as a gift to my dad.
He's always wanted a print of the photograph, and I thought i'd make him one.
I did think about actually buying a print, but I'm unemployed and dirt poor!

However, I think he'll be very happy with this copy :)

Bubbles Sketch Book

One of my latest screen prints

I love Ffffound

My vintage wood cube frame got posted up!
I sold it recently on my shop :D



As for updates,
yesterday I tried some screen printing.
I've got myself a little setup going, it's pretty rad.
Though I'm short on supplies so I have to go get some more.
I messed up with the first screen, but the second came out loverly.

I can't wait to get more supplies and start printing out a bunch of stuff!
Love the way it looks, nothing like it!

Went to the copy shop a few days ago to get a few prints.
Have to go back tomorrow because I've gotten 4 new orders,
but I'm gonna try a nicer print place.





I love having a Canon XS

I love coffee mugs...

My two favorite brands are Fire King & Mikasa,
took snapshot of most of them today.
I'm thinking about selling some of them, but It pains me!

I mean I use them and all, they make coffee taste more delicious... yum
