Warming Up!

I always seem have a million things going on...but i realized i needed to get back to basics and do more sketching exercises to keep from getting stale as an artist! A lot of the work i've been doing has been product design which you really can't do anything to dynamic...so it feels great to do these! If you have thoughts or crits feel free to share!

TODDLERS SUPREME

Here are some sketches for a Toddlers book a friend of mine wrote that i'm doing the illustrations for. Used my son as my inspiration for the character...still didn't really capture his total awesomeness, maybe with the next round!!

NEW STUFF

Hello world, I've added a bunch of work to the site. In my line of work I've done a lot of pitch pieces to help sell ideas that more times than not never become anything. Therefore i've never been able to show the work incase one day it does become something, but all in all I decided to post a bunch of it anyway and wait for that faithful day when I get told to take it all down. So enjoy the stuff I felt comfortable showing.

Project Magnet Fail

These were done for another project that UD wanted to do, with the craze of Bakugan, UD wanted their own magnet toy to take a piece of the action. But like most UD plans there was no realistic timeframe to put together the concept together, not to mention I hate copy-cat products. All though given what we had there were some really good ideas. These show a basic idea of what we were starting to put together before it got rejected - which I honestly feel was for the best.

LOST.....in finding a reason for why I kept watching

So I should have stopped watching this show in season 2 when I originally planned to, owell. this video made me feel better.

MARVEL MYSTERIES - part 2

Here are a couple other quick sketches for the second game idea. The game was also my design. The characters were meant to stand about an 1.5" tall. They had to be very simple in design and they wanted something that looked like a vinyl figure. I think it would have done really well if actually given the chance. Owell!!

MARVEL MYSTERIES - part 1

These designs were done for a kids line of marvel toys/game that Upper Deck wanted do for kids. The first Spider Man design is not mine and was designed by a graphic designer named George (forgot his last name) I was asked to illustrate them for the pitch.

The second batch are mine, it was a very interesting process it's unfortunate the project never went anywhere. It did get a second life for about a day and a half before they told us that there was no money to even make them, but over all it was still fun!

SWAGGER WAGON

Ya so I have "version 2.0 - F" on the way, so my buddy who is expecting his "version 1.0 - M" in a couple of weeks sent me this!!! It's so lame it's awesome!!!



I may just have to get me one....
