I help direct and facilitate an activity at the Cartoon Art Museum’s Third Thursday event on Jan 17, 2013. We had some fun creating some Stop-Motion animation in the lobby with visiting guests.

I will also be drawing at the museum’s Third Thursday event on February 21, 2013 as well with a #Hashtag theme.

Get more information on the Yerba Buena Third Thursdays at the CAM as part of the YBGC HERE

The boxy looking characters are the final results of our event last year, the Paper Monster Party which should be back this year as well. See photos from that event HERE.

We used iStopmotion for Mac to make the animation.

This is a follow-up from the  sensational Holiday Sketch-A-Thon at the Cartoon Art Museum on Nov 24, 2012 was a big success. The event was put on by inkDrinkDraw San Francisco and the Cartoon Art Museum Bookstore!

A big thanks goes out to artists Gene Hamm, Alexis Fajardo, Travis Trono, Jeff Plotkin, Dale Cipperley and Rick Lucey for donating there time and talent to help the museum out. A big shout-out goes to bookstore manager Heather Plunkett the museum’s staff (Eliana, Andrew, Summerlea and all the volunteers and interns) We raised $54 in donations too and made the day of lots of folks.

These critters are drawn on blank Sketch Cards at the Image Comic Expo this past March 2012. I think they may lead to something else, but I am not sure what.

New Art! – Sketch Tuesday Superhero

by

111 Minna Sketch Tuesdays March 2012 - Superhero

This is one of my favorite pieces I created at 111 Minna gallery and club in San Francisco for the Sketch Tuesday artist event on 3/21/12. The event allows artist to make art on the spot and place it for sale for patrons visiting the space. The art is black acrylic ink and watercolor on watercolor paper.

I started with some light blue pencil lines, then etc on wet ink, then loosely painted the figures with broad watercolor strokes and finished with some more ink. Fun!
