Sketchbook Battles!

I have been really wanting to get back into sketching and blackbooking.

Favorite tools of this trade to have?
-Good, solid mechanical pencil and a clean eraser.
-Microns (08's and Graphic 2's)
-Warm Grey scale marker set (for proper shading)
-Say No-No to colorless blenders... Use a lighter color to blend your colors together.
-A bleeder sheet, I forgot mine and it leaked through to the next page. Oh well...

I had tons of fun doing this. We watched Gorillas in the Mist and ate a delicious Hawaiian inspired dinner tonight. Now I am onto a logo for brother's company Gods of Geometry (GOG), check them out!

Thank you for stopping by!

179 Monster:: Circa 2005

This little monster was created from Sculpy. 

He is a heart monster.

I did a few of these for fun and I just found him today at the warehouse stashed under my desk. Poor thing.

Maybe I'll do some more...

Thanks for stopping by!

San Pancho::179 Rooster Print

El Gallo (Rooster) Suggested Donation:: $20.00
This illustration I did while in Mexico at the time of the flooding. It is silk-screened, signed and numbered by hand for you. Please give generously. Illustrations will be mailed out at the end of every week up until the end of October. The goal is to reach $15,000 by then so please help us reach this goal.

Things to keep in mind before you donate, shipping for the Northwest is next day (for those who are anxious), give what you can (this is a suggested donation), free stickers and a personalized 'Thank You' note included and if you are unable to make an online donation, please come to the event at Waids. I will have details of the event and poster up on the blog as soon as I know more! I do plan on live-painting for the event with the painting auctioned off at the end of the night.

For those of you who know me, I was in Mexico at the time of the flooding. I waded through thigh deep waters and watched helplessly while families lost homes. Although I had the opportunity to go home to my family and life, many families are still without. I learned valuable lessons on my trip and would love to give thanks and support by having this print to offer you for as a 'Thank You' for helping Entreamigos and those who are working towards rebuilding this community.

Images from Mexico

This was taken on our way to San Pancho in a little town called Tequila. He was the sound track to awesome-ness.

This is the bridge that collapsed. This is the only bridge in San Pancho. A pedestrian bridge was built the next day only to be torn down again by floods.

These are inspirations for future illustrations and prints.

This is the beach.

Check out this handsome face! He stopped by the warehouse to say hello!

This is one of the exhibits from Bumbershoot. Classic comic books. I love the line quality, how bold the black and white illustrations are and the sense of humor of this genre.

And here is the poster to the event. Excellent. This event was win. Thank you all who went and took pics. I'll find some good ones on Flickr and post them!

Thanks,
