Cut & Paste Competition 2009 Aftermath

So Cut & Paste seemed like it just flew by. It was hectic and fun. No, I didn't win but I did make it to the final round. Despite a stressful morning and early afternoon, it was an amazing time. And I just noticed they updated their website with photos so now I can update my artblog. So here's 30 minutes worth of art from a saturday evening in Los Angeles. Yes, indeed.

Round 1: Human Nature - tattoo
Positive thoughts and ideas grow beautiful things. Negativity grows thorns.

Round 2: Time Travel - lunchbox
It's like a suitcase hence 'travel'. The stickers are time related and food related and there's your 'time' and 'lunchbox'. =)

Thanks for all the love and support the past couple weeks! =P Cheers.

PS. I seriously need to go snowboarding soon!

Cut & Paste Competition 2009 / Bliss

I very recently found out that I will be partaking and competing in what's called the Cut&Paste competition (Los Angeles; there's others in other cities as well). In a nutshell, the participants have 15 minutes to build their design from scratch based off a certain subject. There's 8 designers, 3 rounds and an audience of about 1000.This monkey fishing for banana fish in banana waters was my test round idea; which I sacrificed a day of snowboarding to attend. The subject was 'bliss.' This actual picture is my pre-test round before the actual test round cuz i didn't get a chance to save it for myself. So yeah, that was done in 15 minutes.

Anyways, Cut&Paste goes down on Saturday February 21st, 2009 at Avalon Hollywood. 5PM - 11PM. $15 online pre-sale. $20 at the door. For more information, take a gander here. Mark you calendar. Come out if you can. I really don't know what to expect but it should be fun and something different!

Angry Alligator

This gator is from my children's book that I'm currently reworking. Just a quick sketch and color study. Refreshing myself on coloring with Photoshop. I've come to realize that coloring with a mouse is a pain in the wrist! I'll seek a Wacom or a Cintiq when I really get going with this certain thing that I really need to get going on.

Yes, We Can.
