Skatepark Show!
A bunch of stuff
It has been awhile since I have posted anything on this page (because I have been so busy with Penandmarker.wordpress.com), but I figure its about time I updated this page.
I am going to post a bunch of illustrations that I have completed in the past month or so.

This first illustration was just a finished version of something I drew for my other blog. You can see the original drawing here.

This was an illustration I did for myself. My buddy Josh has a movie night once a week and it inspired me to draw this.

This illustration was based on an article about Latin Americans that are being denied entry to the US because officials are assuming that tattoos mean they are involved in gang related activity. People with no criminal convictions are being turned down for green cards and residency. You can read the whole article here.

This was an illustration that I did based on a drawing that I did for Pen and Marker. It was just a cleaned up version of that drawing.
I have really been slacking as far as posting on this page recently because I have been so preoccupied with Penandmarker.wordpress.com. I can’t wait to finish up my 365 days of drawing so that I can spend more time on larger projects.
Anyway, till next time… see you guys later.

I just got back from vacationing in Wildwood,NJ. The topic for Illustration Friday topic Suspend this week! Although I didn’t see any seagulls steal quite this much food I’m sure it has happened to someone at some point. This seagull loves to steal pizza!

Refresh

This week over @ Illustration Friday the topic was Refresh. This was the first time I saved an illustration as a .PNG which allows me to keep the transparency. You can’t tell too much because my websites background is white, but the border around the image is transparent. This guy is having a great time drinking out in the ocean in his inner tube, he had a hard week and he felt it was time to refresh… but we all know what happens when you drink and tube…

I also used this post as an excuse to repost one of my favorite illustrations that I made last year. I noticed that the was quite a similarity between this one and the one I created today.
Anyway…hope you enjoy!
Do I really look like that?
Two self portraits I did today. The first one is on an old book cover. The second one was the sketch that made me decide to make the book cover portrait (It was originally just pen though, this is after I threw some color on it via Photoshop).

Face Maker

There was a game for the TI-99 that I used to own called Facemaker, I used to love playing this game all day long. It was very simple, but you could make endless (or it felt endless at the time) combinations of faces. It’s still a ton of fun to make random faces. I drew these faces on the covers of old books and then picked what I wanted the characters to say afterwards. The first guy looked like he was waking up from a nightmare and for the second guy I picked a qoute from a Dead Kennedys song. Hope you like!
