Happy Holidays!

This time of year always makes me want to do some santa pieces of some sort, so here are a couple I thought I'd post.

The first one started out as just a doodle and I ended up finishing it up. I couldn't decide whether to give him a red or a green bag, so I went with both. I thought it would be cool if it had sort of a "quilted" look, like maybe Mrs. Claus made it for him.

The second piece is based on a guy I saw on a bus in SF a few weekends ago (photo included). I don't know if he was a Mall Santa who just got off duty, or just a guy who recongnized his striking resemblance and just went for it, but I loved it either way.

Hope you guys enjoy.
Merry Christmas!

*I know that "N. Polk" is not actually a stop but my brother joked about him wanting to go to the "North Pole", not "North Polk" and I thought it was good, so I wanted to throw it in the painting.

Interview!!

Giddy'up

Haven't had a chance to play with the western stuff for a while, so thought I'd get back to it today.
Another possible character in the western story I hope to someday turn into a comic...

Hope you enjoy!...

Also, while you're there check out the stuff by my former classmate Erik Otto.
He's one of the best artists in the Bay Area (I've even had the pleasure of participating in a gallery show with him)--amazing work.

Double A to the B

So I've been feeling inspired lately by a lot of poster art, mainly related to bands and music and what not. I figured what I'd do, is I'd start making some posters of the shows and concerts I've been to this year...So to kick it off, my A.A. Bondy poster. This one came out a bit more "cartoony" than I actually had in mind to begin with, but I'm hoping to play around with some different styles and looks. Stay tuned for more to come...

Hypothetically Speaking

This was just something I was playing around with for a band that I don't believe really exists.

A hypothetical band poster, if you will.

*After a search on iTunes, I did find a band called "Hollow Bones", but this is in no way related to them.

Light Fiction #2

Light Fiction

So my good friend Tawnee just joined a band and she asked me to do a drawing for website/album art/what-have-you. This is one of what will probably be a few different images still to come. Also go check out their first couple of recordings at lightfictionmusic. They have a little bit of an old-timey sound to their music that makes me think of sitting in an old classy jazz club or speakeasy, where everyone dresses up and sips on cocktails while smoking cigarettes on those long cigarette holders. But maybe that's just me.
