The Secret of Kells

I really love this style and the shapes the original designer used to communicate some of the features, I've been exploring a bunch of other styles the last few months, thanks to my character design class that's opened me up to other artists such as cheeks, Stephen silver, and Bruce timm, those are just some of my faves, I also like the way Colin Jack draws children with a sense of whimsy. Most of all I really love doing fanart! Lol. Enjoy!

The process of growing up

Sometimes in the process of growing up, some of our playful childhood innocence is lost-- our creative nature sort of disappears and we fall into the world where we live by rules that make no sense-- rules we give ourselves to try and adhere to. We fret, we worry, we think that we need to plan for so many things in our future. But in fact tomorrow is never guaranteed. It is not enough anymore to keep saving away for a future that can always change. I'm not saying squander your money to fun, frivolous and exciting things-- but make your money work for you. Put it towards something you love and brings you enjoyment. Come back to that childhood innocence when things were fun again.

Don't be such a poopie head

If you let your EGO get in the way all the time and always think you're right, then you really don't leave any room for reason, criticism and improvement. Your always going to think the way you do and stuck in your own perception of life... when you learn to be more receptive and open to another's point of view, then you allow your energy to change, this leaves you free, adaptable, and movable. You then learn to let go of all the rules you've imposed on yourself and the limiting beliefs and ideas that were once yours -- no longer have a place in your life or your own free, creative spirit.

Care Bear Stare

Oh yes the care bear stare! How can you refuse this image? Kill them with kindness. Sometimes all it takes is one person to make a difference and lift spirits. My friend sent me this image as an ongoing joke about my liking care bears, I really do like the care bears! So much positivity and simplicity brought into a children's cartoon. We should all learn how to be a little bit more caring. Don't be a Dark Heart! Its true what they say that people who are the meanest need more love than anybody else.

I have yet to get an actual care bear for my studio space to remind me not to ever be a poopie head. Why be a poopie head when you can be nice?

I also found this video to a 3D care bear show. LOL. I hope this brightens your day!

Work Table Sketches

I sort of wasted my morning designing my "ideal" work table

I sort of wasted my morning designing my "ideal" work table, this came out of a need to have everything organized in my work space. It's a bummer having things all over the place and super hard to work especially if you have to keep moving things around! I'm actually thinking of wanting to build my own desk so that it has all the features I need! lol. I need organization or I might go crazy! I am madness!

Stay Vegan Assole

I found this little patch that I got at the sf zine fest last year when I went. I've been cleaning my place the last week ever since I got back from Brooklyn. It just cracks me up every time I look at this! Damn bunnies are cute!

What's even weirder is that I took this picture when I was walking home one night out and there was this stuffed bunny, just there. Lol. So random!

Ass in your face

Don't you ever feel squished at Starbucks when you're working? Haha, this was my experience one day. There was a big 'ol booty next to my face! Yarrghhh! haha ;)

Hello Mustache

Silly little sketch I did the other day =)

Hello Tangled Art Book

I saw this today at Alexander Books on 2nd Ave and I couldn't resist! It's got some amazing studies, character design, and tons of visual development. After all, I am a visual development artist! I actually saw this with my younger sis last week when I was visiting Reno for Thanksgiving. It's a really good movie, which I will probably go see again and this time I will bring my 8 year-old! lol. Yeah and I just really want to see it again! Ha.

San Francisco Sunset

Just thought I'd share the pretty sunset last tuesday night =) This is right outside 2nd and Federal where I have my tuesday night Color Theory class. The sky was such a pretty color that we all stopped to observe it. So lovely, not bad with my camera Canon powershot. As the semester winds down, I'm grateful that I learned all I did from all my classes, drawing like a crazy person the last couple of weeks and actually making time to understand and mix colors for my Color Theory class. I admit, these projects were starting to drive me a little borderline insane, but nevertheless I learned some valuable skills =) Enjoy the photos!
