A Color Script Exercise

So a few weeks ago, Dice challenged me to partake on a super fun exercise and here's the result; a color script exercise based on Maurice Sendak's classic, Where The Wild Things Are. And since this is all about color and lighting, all designs / layouts are left in true Sendak fashion.

Frre-e-e-e-eessh-sh-sh-sh-shhhh.

Some quick brushpen action during a team meeting at work. That's a crab scratch, btw.

Brave Teaser Trailer

Nearly 2.5 years of my life was spent working on this film and now the teaser trailer is officially available online for you to see. Finally! Get excited for June 22, 2012! Go BRAVE!

Spa Lady

This is the owner of this one spa establishment I always pass by when visiting my gf at her workplace. By the looks of her, I wouldn't trust her services - creeps me out. Always wanted to do a caricature of her though.

Happy bidding (click on image for eBay link)!

Art Blocks for Ghana

"Geese"
Acrylic on 10"x 10" Wooden Board

Yay, another finished piece! This one is for another benefit auction - the "Art Blocks for Ghana" project.

I'm very happy and privileged to have participated for such a great cause; artists from all over the world in the Animation and Illustration community have volunteered to create artwork that will help the building of a children's home in Ghana. The guidelines: create a piece of art on a square wooden board that revolves around the theme of "home."

The blog has already started to display a number of awesome artwork. With the deadline looming in a couple of weeks, I'm excited to see more pieces to be posted up soon. You can also visit the organization's website for more info regarding the eBay auction and art shows to take place in NY + LA.

My contribution is a nod to my favorite of the seasons, autumn. There's something about seeing geese fly about that makes me feel all cozy. Anyway, here are some snapshots of my process. Enjoy :)

Here's one from tonight's Long Pose Class. The class was 4 hours long so I took my time on this one. Although the pose was actually a lot more static, I did what I could at the moment to shift the weight onto the right leg. There's so many things wrong with this drawing. I'm rusty - I gotta keep getting those bad drawings out of the way.
