Tahoe Weekend

I spent the weekend near Lake Tahoe with some friends and it was amazing. Being surrounded by all of that natural beauty in the comforts of a warm cabin was incredibly uplifting.

Iceberg

So I've been pretty silent this past year on my blog, but I feel like it's time to make a change. It's been a year of growth in many ways. Thanks to all of you for keeping in contact, it's very much appreciated!

Tree Sketch

i'm missing my family. it was great to come home and spend Christmas with them. i felt replenished. i feel so very thankful for my loving family.

House Sketch

Mountain Town Sketches

sketches from today and yesterday. i went on the underground tour of Seattle and the tour guide told us of the people who lived on the hill above the water. it has apparently inspired some part of me. i think it would make for some really amazing visuals of having people in shanty towns on mountains.

i'm going to keep developing these sketches and see what happens.

Tron

Influences

it's fun to see all the artists who inspire me the most in one image.

Little Shop Sketches

i did these while watching little shop of horrors for the first time. the characters, story, and music were so good.

Viking vs Ninja Sketches

these are for a personal project with a friend. a good reason to learn more about character design for animation, too.
