Breaking Frame

Girl on the Street

I haven't been arting as much as of late due to an unplanned move across the country. Here's a quick doodle to get back in the spirit!

Also, I have a smallish update on my Etsy store... Um, it's coming, and there will be Game of Thrones prints available for purchase! I also hope to have a few surprises as well, so stay tuned!

GoT Prints?

2011-12-09T17:59:00.003-07:00

That's right, the Game of Thrones prints have finally arrived! Thank you to all of the Kickstarter backers who made this a reality. They can expect to have their copies very, very soon!

Game of Thrones - The Eyrie

2011-09-21T12:22:00.003-06:00

Time to Fly!

The Eyrie sits atop a mountain called the Giant's Lance. One of the prominent features of the Eyrie is not present here, the Sky Door. This small round opening is built into the floor of the main chamber and serves as judge, jury, and executioner of guests who dare to defy the house of Arryn.

Game of Thrones Series - Winterfell

2011-09-13T19:12:00.001-06:00

Here's the second castle in my Game of Thrones series, Winterfell. Nestled in the frozen north, Winterfell is built on a natural hot spring that keeps the castle warm throughout the harsh winters of the Seven Kingdoms. Squarely in the middle sits the ancient Godswood, a religious symbol that Winterfell was built around.

Game of Thrones - King's Landing

2011-09-06T12:55:00.000-06:00

So I've kind of kept this one a secret for the past few weeks. This is my first piece in a Game of Thrones poster series I'm producing. If you haven't had a chance to check out the show or read the books, I highly recommend that you do both... right now.

This first piece is of the perilous King's Landing. The Red Keep is the keystone of the Seven Kingdoms and the central hub of its many conspiracies and alliances.

I'm still figuring out whether or not to make these available for sale, but if there's enough interest I will find a way to get them into the hands of other GoT fanatics out there!

This week I started Stephen Silver's character design course on schoolism. It's a great series and a wonderful course. This is my homework for the first assignment where we were asked to design a character based on a detailed description.

Cockatiels

2011-08-14T16:11:00.002-06:00

Finished up the first of the bird series this morning! Unfortunately there aren't any naturally occurring blue or orange cockatiels in the world, but I thought the colors worked well.

Bird Sketches

2011-08-12T19:29:00.000-06:00

Here are a few bird sketches I put down yesterday. I'm trying to feel out how cartoony I want these guys to be. My favorite is the toucan and the cockatiel. I think the cockatiel will be the first bird I paint.

Art Show!

2011-08-02T08:46:00.000-06:00

I'll go ahead and admit up front that I've never had table space at an art show before this past weekend. But now that I've been on the other side of the booth, I'm totally hooked! Here are a couple of pieces I made exclusively for the event. I also had a handful of other prints from my gallery. Enjoy!

Everything New

Happy Easter everyone! With minutes to spare the final render was completed and whisked off to Highlands Church for their amazing easter service. Here's the final product, and I hope you enjoy!

Everything New

2011-04-18T21:23:00.002-06:00

Hello!

This past month has been busy as I acclimate to having two wonderful children in my life, and rush to get an Easter video finished in time for... well... Easter. While the former is ongoing, the latter is right around the corner.

I am very excited about this video, it has given me an opportunity to tell a story from start to finish in my own way and in my chosen medium. I've put a great deal of effort into creating the illusion of real ink and paper in service of my theme, and wanted to share some production stills from the (almost finished) finished product.

Enjoy, and thank you for stopping by!

Reservation for Two

2010-09-17T21:19:00.004-06:00

Another production concept. I love looking at nighttime photography in modern metropolitan areas. The way the lights mix with the surrounding darkness is just wonderful to me.

Production Concepts

2010-09-14T06:46:00.006-06:00

Here are a few concepts for an undisclosed project being developed in a secret location for an audience of people who wish to remain anonymous.

Drypixel Speedpaint "Mechanical Structure on Beach"

2010-09-12T12:53:00.002-06:00

The original mechanical Jaws (nicknamed "Bruce") was found recently in Los Angeles. I imagine this was the scene.

Future Interface

2010-09-12T12:36:00.003-06:00

Starcraft 2 user interface fan art. Trying to experiment with storytelling through UI. I'm not sure if I'm joking or not with that sentence.

Dinosaur Party

The raptor thought that she heard her name.

Saving the Polar Bears

2009-02-13T09:17:00.002-07:00

Somebody's gotta do it.

Classic Rivalries - "Villagers vs. Volcano"

2009-02-11T09:07:00.002-07:00

They both have their distinct strengths and weaknesses.

But my money's on the volcano.

Motion Graphics Show Reel 2008

2009-02-10T09:06:00.005-07:00

I put "show" in the title because that's how we do it in the bis.

"Bis" is how we say "business" in the bis.

Monster Misunderstandings #1 - "Popcorn Shaped Monster"

2009-02-09T09:04:00.003-07:00

I never know whether to italicize titles or put them in quotes, so I usually just do what looks best in the situation.

Some Lovable Scoundrels

2009-02-06T08:41:00.003-07:00

They'll steal your heart and your wallet. But mostly your wallet.
