Post-it note art

I had a hankering for drawing at work one day so I started drawing some random stuff. Here are some examples. I drew the elephant like 15 times - each time i just did it in a few seconds. Lesson learned: elephants are hard to draw.

Downtown LA

SOLD

This was painted from a photo I snapped while at the Griffith Observatory. I think it's safe to say this is pretty impressionistic.

This is another 5x7 and is a combination of watercolor, pen, and gouache.

Prints are available through ImageKind for as little as 8.49!

Creativity

Playing around with handwritten type.

Holiday Greeting Cards

If you would like Christmas, Hanukkah, Thanksgiving, New Years, or Everything holiday cards custom designed for you, e-mail me and we can discuss design ideas and a quote. I will handle printing and everything. You can see samples of my graphic design on my website.

Foreboding sky over Lake George

SOLD

This is a watercolor I did from one of my favorite photos I have taken of Lake George. I was out with my dad on his sailboat as a storm blew in from the north. We were anxiously trying to head back to the boathouse at Silver Bay before the rain came. While my dad was busy jibbing and tagging, I was snapping photos of the beautiful sky. We made it back just as the rain started to come down.

This is a 5x7 watercolor; still trying to get my skills honed in this medium.

Prints are available through ImageKind for as little as 8.49!

Obampkin

In the spirit of election season, my company's suite entered an Obampkin in our pumpkin carving contest. I painted it with the Obama logo and then we carved out the continents on top. We'll see if we win! But more importantly: I hope we win on Tuesday.

Hectic and Eclectic

I recently participated in my first art show! It was called Hectic and Eclectic and was a collection of some LA artists. It was a lot of fun... and it was nice to finally take some of my pieces out of the closet and get them into frames! Lots of my friends came out for it. It was a great time.

Sailboats

Sometimes when I go to the beach, there are clusters of white sailboats off on the horizon. Possibly a sailing class going originating from Marina del Rey. I love the contrast of all of the white sails against the blue sky and ocean - so cool and calming.

I tried something different with this piece - I did an ink drawing, scanned it, converted it to vector, and then colorized in Illustrator. I like this way of working because it combines by fondness of ink drawings with the flexibility of computers (not to mention there's no clean-up!)

Doom of Love in Small Spaces

I can't believe I never posted this... I did this illustration over the winter for Realms of Fantasy Magazine. It was for a really interesting, allegorical story called "The Doom of Love in Small Spaces" by Ken Scholes. It was in the May issue.. unfortunately, a quick google search did not reveal any online versions of the story.

View from Santa Monica Beach

To kick off our 4th of July weekend o' fun, Rachel and I hit the beach after our half day of work last Thursday. I sketched our office building, 100 Wilshire (the tall one), and the condos and other building along Ocean Ave, while soaking up the sun.

I got very sunburned while drawing this.
