McQueen

I absolutely love Alexander McQueen.... He is the only reason why I ventured into the Fashion Industry in the first place. Here are some illustrations of his very last collection I did in his memory.

Long live McQueen!

Kaiju Painting

2011-10-23T13:45:00.000-07:00

For those of you that don't know about Kaiju toys, they are basically pretty expensive vinyl designer toys of retro looking monsters. Back in January, my good friend Jeff Wong (who has a crazy collection of Kaiju toys) gave me a few of his Kaiju pencil illustrations for me to color. This past September I chose one of his illustrations to paint and give to him as a birthday gift. Below is his black and white illustration followed by my colored version along with some photos of the process. I used gouache paint on card board. Enjoy :)

Hurray for Kaiju's!!!

Drawing with Nathan Fowkes part.1

2011-10-04T20:23:00.000-07:00

This past summer I had the privilege of taking a class with Nathan Fowkes at LAAFA. The class was a bit challenging but I learned a great deal and had great results. He went over the human form, composition, and color. Definitely a very knowledgeable instructor not to mention he has some crazy skills! Here is some of the work from that class.

A few days outdoor

2011-09-27T19:44:00.000-07:00

Ready to Start

2011-09-19T23:25:00.000-07:00

Soooo I finally got myself to re-do my blog! I've been busy these last nine months drawing and working...I'm finally satisfied with some of the drawings I've been producing so I figure it's time to start showing everyone!

Hope you like some of it!!! If not, o well :P

At the beginning of the year I started taking a gesture class at the Animation Guild in North Hollywood with Mr. Mark Mcdonell. I would highly recommend everyone to take this class, I absolutely loved and hated it! Hated it because i saw how much I sucked and really needed to learn. And loved it because I did learn so much and my work improved greatly! Here is some of my work from this class :)

Can't wait to post more stuff!

Thought this song would be quite suiting for my first post.
