upcoming shows.

first show to mentions is 8-8-08(friday night) at subtext gallery in san diego.i dont have a flier image for this show, but you can view the details online at subtextstore.com/blog.

last, but certainly not least is this show.this show is not to be missed.the shows at 1988 are always fun.

i'll post the work from the second two shows as the draw closer.

more fun.

i'm having a great time doing these "sketches".

more to come, i'm sure.

just for fun.

it's nice to let loose and experiment once in awhile.i did this piece trying to make a mess.it's not very often that i get to work with layering, glazing, and color.i'll probably do more of these.i don't really work in a sketchbook, but pieces like this are like unbound sketchbook pages.

bargain bin heroes

i did these drawings for a zine i made with some friends at comic con.there are some of these originals available.contact me for availability/price.i also have some copies of the zine available for 5$(plus shipping)

this sucks...

but not really.it's actually pretty cool."this sucks" is the title of an article that i illustrated a while back.i found out from the art director maia ferrell (folio weekly) that it was nominated for an association of alternative weekly award.(for the category of circulation under 55,000).
i found out today that i took first place.
this is the image that took first...
thanks maia!
