SF Street

I had no plan when I started. I just wanted to do a painting that reminded me of SF.

And here's a warm up sketch.

Puppet Batman

 

Sometimes during the work day an idea will pop up in my head and I have to quickly get it down in my sketchbook, then when I get home I try to paint it up as best I can.

I think is where it all started from. A sketch session with these three folks at a cafe in Belltown in Seattle. Tara Mueller , Taylor Krahenbuhl, and Nick Bear.

15 Minute Work Sketches

Daily Sketch: Laserbot!

Doug Henning- Original Magic Man

Quick sketch

I had this idea of this color scheme. I started with a loose sketch on the left, then tightened it up. I probably need to work on my costume design skills.

Salvage

Feels good to do some painting again. Thanks, Owen! I could do a whole series of these.

Dreamwalker

I was kinda having a bad day and this was my therapy. Also, I had just watched Everything I Can See From Here.

Tourista

I saw a tourist in Astoria, OR that looked really interesting. I sketched her then tried to do a painting and it turned out looking nothing like her... sigh.

Freeze!

More style explorations! I post a lot of my process sketches on my instagram.
