I think I am just about finished with this one. I think I will be doing some more in this style. I enjoyed this a lot.

So my buddy Dan informed me I was a bum for not drawing anything new today, so I just made this. Hooray for not being a bum.

Here is one I’ve been messing with for a couple days. I love getting abstract with hair, it’s another subject that you can turn your brain off with and just draw.

Oh my, two new posts in two days! What are the chances of this happening again? (not good.)
Here are some new scans from my current 3×5″ moleskine, the poor thing fell out of my pocket Christmas eve and was drizzled upon for about ten hours before I found it in the driveway Chrismas Day. HOORAY FOR THE HOLIDAYS! =\
Luckily the damage wasnt’ as bad as I would have thought other than some slight rippling of the pages. A bit of Photoshop trickery was used in getting some of the imperfections those waves caused during scanning.

Happy Holidays everyone. Here are two drawings from my last sketchbook that I’m just getting around to scanning, and one recently finished from my current book.
Enjoy.

Hello all, Not quite so long a gap here as usual. I’m putting up a mix of stuff here. Some of it is from before the last post, some new, and the big finished piece was started over 6 months ago only to be picked up last Thursday and finished over the weekend. This is in addition some freelance work I’m doing as well, so I have been keeping busy. I’d love to hear any comments, so fire away if you have any.
This next one is a big finished piece. I had lots of fun with this, especially the brain pattern in the trees in the background.
and as an added bonus, I’m adding in a portrait of yours truly done by the talented Johnny Segura. Check out his work here: http://auronasia.deviantart.com/
