Changes

Sorry for the lack of posts, and double apologies for the lameness of this post (Kincade anyone?). I have been in crunch for a long time. We just had a new addition to our family as well. She is healthy, beautiful and her name is Sarah. On top of that, tomorrow is my last day at Avalanche. I have the honor of being asked to be the Art Director at Chair Entertainment They made the Phenomenal game Shadow Complex. I am looking forward to the bright future there. Hoping that I can meet their high precedence, while raising the bar. Meeting with the folks at Chair and Epic has been a sheer delight. They have all the reasons in the world to be high brow and arrogant but they exude nothing but down to earth, humble, classy, professionalism.
I have been very blessed and fortunate to work with the folks at Avalanche. I think their blogs don't do them enough service. They are some of the most phenomenal guys you can meet. It is one thing for them to be excellent artists but another thing entirely when their character surpasses that ten fold.
Hopefully I will be posting a little more often than what has happened in the past couple months. I hope everything finds you all well.

Sketch and Drawing

It is not very often that I post sketches and I would love to say that this one took ten minutes but it didn't. I think it took around 45 or something really uninspiring like that. However, I am very happy with the likeness.




Merry Christmas!

Joe Olson's Class


Made this piece for two purposes:
1. To eventually paint in real life as an art trade with Joe Olson
2. To use as a painting demo for Joe Olson's class.

Kind of a Funk Lately


Life is spinning, so I am cannibalizing my storehouse of drawings. Hopefully I will have some recents to throw out soon.

Good friend of mine Scott Stoddard had his last day at Avalanche yesterday and here are some of the characters that I drew for his game Capoeira Fighter 3.

I have been bouncing around in new approaches.

Practice What You Preach


It is not very often that I post gestures (more like never). So here is a lot of ones that I have been doing recently. Since I started up teaching again, a lot of what I used to practice is rising up to the top of my memory and mind. It has actually been really good for me to use the principles.

Dino Love



In the early nineties there were Genesis kids and SNES kids. I was happily a Genesis kid, but I had a lot of SNES envy. Now with the advent of the Virtual Console I have been playing some of those old games that I never got to play. You might have deduced that I have been playing Super Mario World, and man oh man I am loving it. I really love that little frickin' dinosaur! I always die a little inside whenever I see him run off of a cliff.

Mr. Joe Olson made his transition in the the Thirty-Somethings a couple months ago and made this for him as a belated card.
