Prosthetic Proboscis

Thankfully we now have the technology to assist the olfactorily-challenged.

Done for the Avalanche Software blog's "Cyborg" theme.

White Board Doodles

Recently I've re-discovered the joy of drawing on white boards. It might even be my medium of choice. I might just have to put together a sketchbook whose pages are actual white boards...

Target Practice

This is my maiden voyage with the Avalanche Software Art Blog! I'm way stoked about this-- that blog has always inspired me, and now to be able to contribute (somewhat) to it is awesome.

Recent Random Happenings Presented in Sketchbook Form

My daughter just turned two just a few days ago (hopefully the terrible two's aren't quite this bad).

Look no further than your local baby! Sketching babies is better than sketching adults for the following reasons:

• You don't creep them out by staring at them intently for 2-5 minutes at a time.
• They don't move around much (especially if you swaddle them really tightly with a velcro blanket).

Comics = Therapy

Here's a quick, sketchy, aliased comic for ya.

Tangled Gestures, Part 1

This morning I sat down for a couple of hours and sketched some quick gestures from Disney's Tangled. Most of these took about a minute or two, done in Adobe Flash.
