What do you do when you can't sleep? Paint of course! The first image is from last summer, which are studies from the wonderful Nathan Fowkes. The second batch is from the early morning, which are also loose studies of Leyendecker, and Clement Coll. It felt good to pick up watercolor (one of my favorite mediums) after so long.

I'm back after a long hiatus of anything art related. I don't have much to show, but I have been going to life drawing these past couple weeks which are hosted at OCAD. These vary from 1 to 15 minute:

Also, some samurai/monk studies...

and some Leon-La-Terreur!

I'm really going to try getting back into the groove of things, so expect much more updates.

Art Tatum - Love Me or Leave Me

2009-08-10T19:22:00.004-04:00

It has been months since I've used watercolor, so these are my attempts at it after the strike. My old scanner has left out some of the details and color, and each head varies from 10 to 20 minutes!

Metropolis Now - In My Sole

2009-08-04T20:39:00.002-04:00

It has been a very, very unproductive summer. Art-wise. Well, hopefully I'll be pushing August to really be pumping out some stuff (not only quick sketches). So since i haven't done anything fantastic or serious, I have but mere work doodles to offer...

Some blast from the past included in there... good old Miyazaki, Don Bluth, Capcom, and...
Dragon,Dragon Ball... Dragon Ball Z!!!!

Elvis Costello and The Attractions - Inch by Inch

2009-06-21T18:01:00.003-04:00

Quick update because I have been neglecting this baby. Doodles from work, haven't really done anything these past couple weeks. Will update later on...

Pseudo Intellectuals - Autumn Leaves

2009-05-31T16:44:00.004-04:00

Tired from the working week, and have a bunch of stuff I need to work on!
I watched the Jungle Book and 101 Dalmatians over the weekend and doodled while I observed. I must say, I miss the old charms of traditional animation.

Can't Stop Fanatics - Beautiful Life

2009-05-28T16:45:00.004-04:00

Doodles from work! I think I'll design and print out some business cards in the next few days.

Nat King Cole - Day In, Day Out

2009-05-09T20:22:00.004-04:00

Sick today, and might get kicked out of school.
But, got some Torpedo sketches!

I'll probably use my scanner more often, the sketches look so much better.

was crazy.

I was over at Silver Snail Toronto with the kids from Spent Pencils and was doing free sketches for anyone who wanted one. I was basically drawing from 11:30 till 7:00, and had a blast. It was so fun meeting everybody from the crew and some new faces who were also selling stuff. Overall was a very pleasant experience, though by the end of it MY ASS WAS SORE.

So, I have been neglecting my blog, but no more! I finished school last week, though haven't really been able to draw or do anything because of the week that just past... But, I mean it when I say that I will be updating at least once a week from now on.

So some doodles that I managed to do while at work:

They were all done using black and red brush pens. And, also, I had wanted to post this picture because I had a BALLIN' breakfast the other day:

Homemade butternut squash soup and a baked custard pie with chestnuts, sweet potatoes, and a caramel cookie... wow.

Puma Strut - Natural Tendency/gadji remix

2009-04-13T20:08:00.003-04:00

This here is a project that I put together. It's my craptastic journal, basically we had to assemble 100 pages and make a 'book'. It looks really messy, but it has it's moments.

The main aspect of it is that I cut out holes/bits in each page, or used plastic sheets(where i drew on them), so that when looking through the journal you could see pieces of pages ahead. Nothing to crazy, but again a few pages do look kinda cool.

Its bounded by one measly chain, and somewhat secured by a front,back and spine covering(made out of tape and foam core). Not very put together so allot of the pages stick out.

Take care guys/gals!

Sorry for the lack of updates, I haven't drawn for the past 2 weeks, so I picked up the pencil again today. Got lots of work to do and I'll be updating with more stuff either tonight or tomorrow.

Django Reinhardt - Manoir des mes Reves

2009-03-14T08:44:00.000-04:00

Fanart! Anyway, last one's from Paul Pope's THB (again). Paul Pope has been one of my favorite artists for a long time. His inks are really beautiful and expressive, and his comics are always concrete in all aspects. Just god damn wish he'd finish THB.
I'll be updating later on today, I'm in hopes again that I'll be able to finish all the homework that I've been building up these past months.

Sene - Juss Yesterday

2009-03-07T17:39:00.000-05:00

So and so hours later... and no homework done!
Anywho, I've decided to start doing studies of illustrations, pictures, and comic book frames. No matter how hard i try i can't piece together a finished piece. Maybe copying some stuff will help me loosen up, and make me realise that I'm an idiot for allowing this wall to inhibit me from progressing! So, the last two pictures are from Paul Pope's THB, and the rest are just doodles.

(oh and all my drawing are done on regular 8.5" by 11" printer paper and are taken with a camera)

Ennio Morricone - Farewell to Cheyenne

2009-03-07T07:49:00.001-05:00

Got nothing done this week... : / So, im locking myself in my room and going to finish all the assignments that need to be done! I'll also update later on today.
(squint for some fanart)

Faith No More - Edge of the World

2009-02-28T09:07:00.000-05:00

I managed to doodle a little bit in class this past week, but i didn't have the time to really do anything else. Obviously since this was the week right before spring break i had to cram for all the projects and assignments which i didn't do this past month and a half. BUT now I'm freeeeeee! So hopefully ill use this week wisely and pump some cool stuff out. Though I'm really in the mood to do fanart... haven't really done much before so that's what ill probably be showing later.

I lied about the "no more doodles". I have learned that i am not physically capable of doing finished pieces... and that i am scared of doing digital stuff. baw.

Pax & Pry - Bless You

2009-02-14T09:54:00.000-05:00

Just the usual faces and bodies... i think im going to stray away from the doodles now and try to do more complete images. I also need to pick up painting again because im beginning to lose my sense of color with me just drawing in value and all...
also hopefully ill try some digitail stuff for the first time!! Man, photoshop just intimidates the hell out f me.
