Sketch for a logo I'm currently working on for a mortgage company.

Poster ad

Some more work 'm doing for Mr. Headley, author of "A Stolen Life". He needed some posters to place in a bookstore( what bookstore you ask, well I'm not sure) to advertise his masterpiece.(www.astolenlife.com)On Thursday night He sent me some pictures I could possibly use I was under some serious time constraints and needed to get them done for this past Friday. I came up with several simple ideas and gave him the last above the text ,but which is better I don't know?

Character Design

Some character studies for the thumbnails below
I'm still trying to figure out a concept I want to convey with
Obviously, its gonna have something to do with surfing but I'm still
playing with the idea.

New Project

Thumbs for a future project. I'm taking my time with this one because I have other projects that are taking precidence, but I'm gonna start crossing over more into concept work as I start building my portfolio and peeking into the professional world of art and design. Yea...that kinda sounds scary.

Still Learning

An practie study I thought I would try after a friend of mine showed me the forum at conceptart.org where you render any object as realistically as possible then afterwards you makeup anything by drawing from the rendered object, a good practice. I got lazy and never came up with a concept because I was moving back in the dorms but I'll get to it.







My goal this summer was just to sit back and draw, just for the pure enjoyment of it. So, inbetween my busy schedule of being a student summer missionary I would sit and draw just any or whatever could come out of my head and try to put it on paper. It felt good just to cut loose and let ideas pour out of me because along with coming to terms with my faith I feel as though my own verve is being defined making me a more capable artist. I played alot with caricatures!

"The Not so Glamorius Life"

Project for Anthropology class. About how some percieve the life of a "baller" to be fame and glory 24/7 , I wanted to illustrate the idea that the "Baller" lifestyle is not all it seems to be and that the stereotype should be broken.

Chunky Beef Soup for the Soul

Wats up! here are a few thumbnail samples and final drafts for an bookcover I'm currently working on called "A Stolen Life". The book is by Gheri Headley, a well estabilished writer, whois having his book opening July 7. I'm just honored to be a part of this process. I read the book myself and was humbled that a writer on his caliber wanted me to do an illustration for him. I have his book website linked or check it out now at http://www.astolenlife.com/ where you'll find even greater detail on how to get this book for yourself. b e z

Innocence Series and ....Halle...Berr...

This is a two drawing series I had to do in my Life Drawing 2 class. I had to make up my own subject so I chose to use a recurring theme on losing innocence as you get older . I used different approaches for both but I also wanted to give a sense of ambiguity in them to leave the story up to the viewer.

Ahem... I did this awhile ago...like n da summer...I was practicin wit greyscale markers nd coloring them over n phtoshop...I like this better than the costume she had n the movie.
