Two more Videos

Here are two more videos that I found interesting and although some of you have seen these before, I thought I would post them anyway. The first is actually a spoof of the Snuggie ad, and is what I see when watching the commercial. If you have seen them watch them again, because they are funny. I will post some more artwork shortly this is just filling the gap. Have a nice day everyone.

Funny Stuff !

This is one of the superbowl ads for 2009, and it reminded me of my wife very much.

Perry the Platypus




Hi here is a quick night sketch. Someone told me about this secret agent Platypus named Agent P on this Disney show called Phineas and Ferb. I looked him up and found him to be quite beloved by fans and well designed, this is merely fan art. No one expects the Platypus until he dons his Fedora. Done in Photoshop.

Nightmare Sketches



Here is a new piece I am working on. Just something silly that I thought of recently and wanted to paint. I thought I would let people in on some of the stages I went through. Final work is below. Enjoy.

The Nightmare-finished



Hi Guys here is the finished piece. I decided to go with a little bit of a more simple approach. Done in Painter X, and it took a couple of hours. C&C welcome

Karen and Jim






Hi Guys, its been awhile, but here is my latest portrait work. Took some beating to get it somewhat to the level I wanted. Karen and Jim are my new Parents in-law and I thought I would do a somewhat more classical portrait. Done in Photoshop. Comments are welcome.

Making Of : Hanuman




Hi, I thought I would try to show some of my process. It kind of changes depending on the project. Sometimes I sketch it out, or some times I just start with silhouettes and shapes. If I do a sketch, it is not detailed, it is more about placement, ideas, and rhythms. At first I tried to upload this as a animated GIF file, but eventually I learned that Blogger doesn't support them. So I made a video. It is really poor quality, but I think it still shows the process. I may just post bigger images of the process sided by side next time. You can find the finished version of Hanuman lower on this page. Let me know what you think.

Gallery Link



Hi Just wanted to let everyone know I have added a link to my gallery on the official Corel Painter Magazine site. The gallery there has been upgraded with a nice Flash Gallery so it looks a little better then my blog. You can find it under Places You Should Go on the right side of the blog.

Sheep Friend



Hi Guys, this is a silly little warm-up sketch of a new little stuffed sheep we got from a friend. I thought he was adorably obese, and deserved the honor of being immortalized :D

The Jazzerciser and The Robot



Hi Guys,
This is just a sketch of my wife and I in our Halloween costumes for this year. I would have posted this earlier, but I was working on it and painter crashed on me before I could save. We had a fun time coming up with these.
