A smattering of old work from my last time living in PDX. 

ACEO cards [2.5" x 3.5"] Watercolor brush and pencil. Pen and Ink.

Candy Crusher

I have been dying to color this guy for almost 2 years. Finally, here he is, in all his glory.

Vampire Coffee Bean

I did some work for my friends at the Daegu Coffee & Cafe Fair. 

An old Korean dad joke goes like this; 


What is a vampire's favorite drink? 


....

Nose Bleed!

If that's not funny to you, I understand. 

Why it's funny to Korean speakers, is because coffee (커피) is pronounced "keoh phi". 

And nose blood (코 피) is pronounced "koh phi".

Vampire....drink...coffee....blood....GET IT?!?!

It's subtle, and it's hilarious...if you're trying to make a room full of 14 year olds groan. 

So to honor that tradition, we bring you the vampire coffee bean enjoying his favorite roast.

Floating Head

Just a little something I'm working on at the moment, thought you'd enjoy the floating head.

Bigfoot on a Tall bike

So, my Sweet Hipster Kitsch got a kickin update of color.

He's gonna be on sale at Society 6 on EVERYTHING...

Inky, Power Hungry Ghost Series

My first drawing in this series was out of pure boredom. Later more characters followed.

I'm finally getting around to coloring the images. They are and will be on sale at Society 6

Inky! Ghost 2 of 4

Man at Arms

A drawing of Man at Arms with a little twist on the portrait, if you can guess who he is, leave a comment below!

A lot of these drawings are done on 4x6" cartooning ink paper, so hence the cutoff.

My Big & Tall drawing got some sweet colorz by /u/oohay_email2004 on the daily sketch subreddit today. Thanks Duuude. 

Here's the original in all it's hipster glory.

I did a quick sketch of /u/wanderluxe for todays /r/SketchDaily . 

Yah her head is too big, I got caught up in her hair...

The Magician

200 likes on my Facebook page! Yay! Here's the "Magician" that was used in the recent [b]racket article. Feel free the ask about the references, most of these I can actually remember.

A three day sketch I created back during a break last December. I honestly can't remember all the references I used. I do know I was watching a documentary on Japanese Kendo competitions. And before that there was some stuff about fractals. If you're wondering, the Mandelbrot equation is on the plate c=cupcakes. And then some Egyptian and Hindu mythology. Fun stuff.

I'm in print.

See the full May issue of the [b]racket art magazine here.

So you get a finished product on the upper-left. I had to do the coloring at least 6 different times because I'm learning, kept screwing up, and once deleted half a day's work. ANNNND on the bottom-right is what I've decided to go with. Totally different direction. I wasn't happy with it not looking flat, I know, right? You'd think I'd have thought of that before putting 10hrs into practicing shading, coloring, and gradients.

There are still 4 more in the series and my checklist for tomorrow is to draw the final image, ink two more, scan and color.

I always love to hear your thoughts, so let me know what you think ;D

Starting to play with color for my PacMan series, more to come [and this piece finished, b/c cherries are red, i know, it's not finished ;D]

I'm always very interested in native people's portriates. The old time feel, their expressions, the accessories of their clothes. This is a 30min sketch done all in 0.05 micron pen.

Blinky Power Hungry

#2 in my Pac Man Series. Not sure if #1 is even up here yet, but heres Blinky. Fast, powerful, and a total dick.

Had a great conversation about art, religion, literature, philosophy, life, and everything last night. It's good to have all encompassing discussions with people. Reminds me how much of a hoarder I am when afterwords I say to myself, damnit if I shouldn't have recorded that conversation. Maybe the NSA will give me the tapes next decade, if I put in a freedom of information act request. Anyway, thank you so much to Hanika for the philosophy, I'll say that I'd like to read Levinas in an attempt to further reconcile my world view. But I doubt I will. Although I appreciate the new insight.

I've amassed a huge collection of pictures of what are called "suicide animals". In Asia they're very popular as logos and on restaurant billboards. They're around in the west as well, but I was very struck by how much you see them in Korea. You always know what's being sold by whatever animal is holding the plate of food. Morbid to say the least. I'd always imagine that it was actually parts of that specific animal that it was serving to you, happily, joyously offering itself.
