More Sketches from Europe '06!

While in line for the Eiffel Tower... I guess French people make me draw big teeth. Funny it didn't happen in London...

Felt, Thread and Googily Eyes

Seymour, meet everyone. Everyone, this is Seymour.

And this one, has no name...

Nudes!!

Statues... best models ever!

Old Sketches from Europe - Summer '06

Barcelona - I went to see a crazy Spanish guitar man perform in a church. Good thing I brought my sketchbook because he was mad good. My sketches barely describe how beautiful the music was.

Saddest part of a broken heart...

in times like these, thinking in excess drives you... something.

You Scream. I Scream. We All Scream GIRAFFE!

Not that we want to eat the giraffe for dessert or anything. Ew.

mixed media (color pencil, water color, cut-out)

thanks for the title suggestion, Mattheewwww

Sketches? Sketches!

The round man is based off a driver James and I spotted in Angelino Heights... I made up the rest of him (from the neck below). I like to think it's very accurate.

It's only right...

That I have an elephant on my blog! Here's the star of the show!

More kids!

I was at the Disney Soda Fountain shop waiting to see Nightmare Before Christmas... Of course I'm gonna draw kids!

Buildings and Trees

Marker, pen and crayon. Very 101 Dalmations inspired...

Loli-trees!

Alice's Tea Cup - NYC

Limbo fun!

Cowboys!

New York and such...

This is what happens when I go on vacation... I should do it more often! :D


From the park across the street from Magnolia's Bakery. Silly rich village kids...


An unexpected surprise!


Ice cream shop ideas for my animated short...


More little kids!

And more to come!

Scoops!

Wouldn't this be great if it was a real cereal... mmmmm! It wouldn't be possible to get the blues with this in your life.

Angelo Demanti

I think he kind of looks like Angela's dad. Completely accidental.

Figure Drawing

This probably is one of the worst models I've ever had... She likes to take long stretches and breaks inbetween her 5 min. poses.

It's been ages...

A little sad on my part that it's been so long since my last post. Not that I haven't been making magic on my end or anything, I'm just a lazy person who hasn't been sharing.

So here it comes!

First up: Dancin' umbrella man
