Lately I’ve had very little time to sit down and work on my own projects, but I found a little trick: I’ve been drawing on my phone on my way to and from work. I downloaded SketchBook MobileX and the tools are really perfect for little finger doodles. I’m trying to do one every day, and [...]

I have the internet back at my apartment! Such a nice thing. It was a nice vacation from technology in the home, but at the end of the day, I just want to stream movies and check my favorite blogs constantly. I just wrapped up the second week of my new job working in social games, [...] I recently decided to make a career change, and managed to arrange it so I had a month off in-between jobs. I’m nearly at the end of my break, and the transformation my mind has gone through during this time was much-needed and fulfilling. There’s barely been a moment to be lazy, since I’ve been running [...] I’ve been working on a poster design for the past few weeks, and I’ve discovered a pretty strong interest in lettering and 70′s rock posters inside me.

For the first time in years, I [...] This past week I’ve been reading Patti Smith’s autobiography “Just Kids” and I’m inspired, heartbroken and thrilled by the story. It’s amazing to watch the two artist’s grow and change from lost, dreaming teenagers in Brooklyn to fully establishing themselves in the art and music scenes in New York in their late twenties. Patti was drawing [...] I’ll be awol for the rest of the week, so this goes up a bit early: Here’s to a [...] Today I spent the morning at a cafe with DocPop drawing and watercoloring our own versions of classic comic covers! Today I decided to tackle Wonder Woman: Maybe the silhouettes aren’t completely finished. Here’s the original: I was also referred over to Covered, and they’ve got a very epic gallery of lots of great artists doing their own [...] I woke up today with the desire to do some good ol’ cover drawings from old superhero comics. Like cover songs, we can learn a lot from copying other work with our own style. I especially love the cheeky old DC comics, here’s my first one: Here’s the original cover I worked from: Let’s see if I get [...] |
