One of my all time favorite youtube clips.
Jimmy Ohnishi...

Been busy with some Ad work... I managed to wrap up this evening and decided to finish off this doodle I had been messing with before.
Mr Fix it Hulk and the Thing.

I wanted to get some monkey drawing done...
heres a few facial studies

Some art I did for the street fighter tribute book and Onell design.

Just did a colour pass to the monster

Thought I would paint this up...
Just wanted to concentrate on value and form.
Next stop I'd like to concentrate on patterns/texture and colour.

Just working on some creature designs..
some sketches.. I'd like to paint these full later on.

Sorry it's been a while since I've posted. I've been bogged down with work. I'm promising myself to try to update more again. I've been kind of hording art work the last while ... some projects I may just wait for the proper moment to post.
But here's a few for now.

I was reading over on Stuart Immonen blog.
And I came up on one of his post.
What got me steamed was some STOLE his work among other artists.
And published it in a book. All the contact info is fake.
How could anyone do this?

its a crazy read.

Oh yeah check out his Nextwave work. Incredibly awesome.. and hilarious!

FYI I just started a new blog with a few friends. The blog is for fun. Drawing our favorite tv shows, movies and net celebs...
you can find the blog here

but here's another sketch

"Where's Walace at? Where the boy Straight?"

Man I watched the first season of the Wire.. what a awesome series.
D'angelo and Wallace... easily my 2 favorite characters.
For this drawing I didn't exagerate this one as much as my last sketch.
But I had fun drawing D'angelo

First time I saw the afro ninja video I died laughing so hard. I showed it to my buddy Ted... and we died laughing. We go back to work... and then we would snicker some more (we were watching it again at our desks). I can't count how many times I've watched this and I never get tired of laughing from it.

So Afro Ninja, if you're reading this. This is dedicated to you.



Afro Ninja


The Full Uncut Version.

I was notified today, that my entry for the Udon Street Fighter Tribute book was accepted. I'm pretty excited, and honoured. I'm looking forward to see the other entrees. I was also very happy to hear that my good friend Ted Kim of has also had been accepted!

although I can't post the final art piece (Udon requested all accepted entrees to not post final work).
so I thought I post one of the studies I did for Blanka's face (really rough)

I have shirts for sale
you can check them out here (or see side bar)

Sorry I've been a little busy of late.
I just got a cintiq been using it a little bit for work. Slowly getting used to it.
As soon as I have time I'll be writing a review and maybe record some doodles.

but until then...

still swamped.
But I thought I'd take some time to post some old stuff from another job.
Here's some character design stuff I did for a devil.

Been working a lot these days.. and I think I was under a prolonged burnout working on two jobs. I have another day or two before it gets crazy again.
But I found this interesting article about freelancing.

During Valentines a demo of Patapon for the psp was released. What was I doing... up to my neck in work.. No chocolates, no romantic evening, just work work work.
But I managed to have a moment of rest. And took a evening off.
Usually I hate rhythm games. I have no beat.. its just the person I am. But I love the visuals. Fantastic. It's as alluring as Loco Roco was for me.

I had herd the visuals was from a french artists named Rolito (as soon as I find his personal website I'll post it here). But if you own a psp I say get it!!!! its coming out end of this month.

Rolito's website can be found here
Rolito Land


Get Loco Roco too if you don't own that.
Sigh... back to work.

I saw this at one of my favorite websites yesterday.
I was very excited. It's the right mix of goofy and robotic flavour I love

Collection DX

saw this.. damn this looks awesome

finally finished this as a wallpaper.
not exactly new art. But I'm really swamped... honest.
Happy Valentines
