2011-08-20T02:35:00.001-04:00

I don't know how to get this thing to fit right in my blog maybe someone who's more internet saavy could let me know....anyways...on to this video thing.....

I was going through some of the shorts I made for MAD on Cartoon Network and found some bootleg copies floating around in the wild wide world of webs. Maybe I'll find some high quality one out there at some point but here's one that I found. I will say I'm pleased with the uproar that I may have helped ignite within the Twilight community.

2011-08-03T16:08:00.000-04:00

He's back!

2011-06-21T21:22:00.001-04:00

Digital Painting.

I've been reading Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut, and decided to draw the scene where Kilgore Trout goes to a dirty movie. Here's the process:

First I made a drawing in my sketchbook, then I drew a rough line in photoshop. After that I added a color key, then the final, product over the top which looks a bit different in the end.

2010-01-19T13:22:00.002-05:00

This is a design for my upcoming website, the color palettes I used are on the upper right hand side.

2009-11-30T23:56:00.002-05:00
