Goku

I was into Dragonball back in the day. I was really into it where i would download the scanslation back in 95 off my poor 56k modem. I was into it before it came to America. Kinda crazy I know. Akira Toriyama artwork had a huge influence on my cartoon style. Dragonball was probably one of my favorite action cartoons in my Teens. I have now started picking up the re-mastered boxsets. Just a quick sketch this morning.

Here are some sketches done good ole paper with a sharpie and colored in pshop. hope ya dig. Peace!

Self v.3.0

Myself viewed subjectively and interpreted through art
The balance between the heaven and hell of my own personality.
The inner demons and foreign angels.
The hope that falls down like feathers from heaven.
The roar of my own insatiable need to justify my own existence and the paths that I have chosen.
The need to somehow prove that it was all worthwhile and the gnawing fear that at the end of it all, it will have been for nothing.
Regardless, I can only be myself. This is what I am.
I cannot explain it because I did not create myself.
It took 27 years to get to this point and when I put it all down, you know what?
It really doesn't seem that bad at all.
Drawing is strangely clarifying sometimes.
The Branch.

Dali Lama Production Art






This is one of the latest projects I worked on here at Turner Studios. It is a short PSA for the Dali Lama who is coming to Atlanta. I basically storyboarded the spot and created the images that were mapped onto a 3D wireframe. The 3D dept here is insane. They do great work.

Oil Painting




I was working on some new oil paintings and thought I would post this one up. This was my favorites and I think it's because I did it in two hours. My goal was to stay loose and not beat myself up. I don't work with oils much but I am working on a body of new work now so that I can have a show someday.
