IF: Leap

I don't think I've ever completed an IF topic in one day, on the first day. But today was Leap Day and I had to do it. This is a little less cartoony than usual for me. TabletPC and Photoshop.

Illustration Friday: Multiple

Multiple cups of tea, that is. This was a Christmas present for my mom, these are her two cats.

Tilden Botanical Garden

Here's a quick watercolor from the botanical garden at Tilden Park in Berkeley. Also, I just got back from WonderCon and it was amazing! (Got to be in the same room with David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, and Chris Carter!!!) Then I went to the Early Bird Painters show and met Mike Dutton and Dice Tsutsumi. Beautiful work from everyone in that show. Oscars tomorrow - let's see if Ratatouille can go five for five. Also, I saw a slew of clips from WALL-E at WonderCon and let's just say it looks like the best Pixar film ever. (But I say that every time a new one comes out...)

Some figure drawing

I got myself a TabletPC last week. I'm still getting used to it, but here are a few sketches from Saturday's figure drawing session. These were done in ArtRage.

Illustration Friday: Choose

This alley cat's got lots of delicious garbage to choose from! This is my sister's cat, James, who enjoys eating anything. (Pasta, eggplant, cookies, beans, bread, etc.)

Illustration Friday: Tales and Legends

I guess this is more "Tails and Legends"...ha! Sorry. Dog pirates! Done on real paper...with real paint.

Sketchcrawl!

I was finally able to attend a Sketchcrawl out here in San Francisco. I had a blast. Not only did I get to draw all day, I got to meet a ton of cool new people. And then there were a whole bunch of "Oh wait...I read your blog!" moments. Enjoy these pics from the Chinatown:

Brittney and Dave sketching...photoshop color.

There was a lot of gambling going on!

That is Daniela Strijleva up there.

Those ladies noticed I was drawing them and then they got shifty.

That's the most drawings I've done in a long time. There's still a slew of paintings from Christmas that I've been meaning to post.

Just found this on the forums...thanks for posting this!! (From left to right: Me, Dave, Brittney, Enrico Casarosa!)
