In response to my friend Dennis’s drawing a day challenge is this little surfer girl. Technically I guess I started a couple days ago, but forgot to post a sketch yesterday. Oops! Anyway, it’s a nice break from the storyboards I’m currently working on. This little girl was inspired by the lovely sunny weather we’re having in Portland right now. Summer, are you here already? Yeah, if summer was 50 degrees and book-ended by weeks of rain.

Color Concepts
December 31st, 2009
I’m plugging away in pre-production on my short. I’ve been rewriting my script, story boarding, revising my character designs, and painting. I love this part! I finished these gouache paintings a couple weeks ago and am pretty happy with them as rough color concepts for my backgrounds. Check em.
So many more monsters!
December 11th, 2009
Here are a bunch more monster sketches I did in pastel on colored paper. I’m exploring monster designs for the short film I’m working on which may or may not have a monster in it (it’s a surprise!) ; )
Willamette Weekly Illustration
December 4th, 2009
I did this quick little illustration for Portland’s very own Willamette Weekly. It appeared with an article about compact fluorescent bulbs harming the environment in their later years in landfills. Whaaa? I give up. I’m going out and buying a Hummer.

Scared
November 4th, 2009
Holy crap it’s been a long time since I last posted. I’ve been working hard on some storyboards and designs for my thesis film. I’m not ready to share those quite yet, but I will tell you the theme is fear. Here’s another quick sketch I did related to that same theme.
Gesture
October 14th, 2009
Going to figure drawing tonight so thought I better get off my arse and post these gesture drawings from the last time I went. They range from 1-5 minute long poses and were all done with my nifty Japanese brush pen which is helping me to stay loose. I’m trying to commit to the feeling of the pose and not get bogged down by structure.
Another 20 Minute Sketch
September 28th, 2009
I’m developing the main character for a short film. I think he will be a shy little kid with an overactive imagination- a bit of a sad, nervous loner. Saw this little girl at Oak’s Park yesterday and immediately thought of my main character. She looked so sad and weird I had to try to draw her. Here she is.
