The Road to Wondercon 2010 part 1

We’ll folks, Wondercon 2010 will be upon us in 11 days and I can’t wait. That is, I am excited and also nervous. Nervous because I will be working on some new items and ideas for the convention and excited for pretty much the same reasons. Of course I am excited too for all the awesome friends I will see, the cool new products, the colorful costumes and all the fun and energy the convention provides.

First off, you should know that I can be found in Artist Alley at table AA 48. To help you I have made this spiffy map (below).

Meet me at Wondercon 2010 - April 2-4

‘Operation Shine’ poster

This is a poster design I did for one of my co-workers at the Youth Center I work at for ‘Operation Shine’. The poster is to promote a group of people hiking across the country to promote the issues of GLBT homeless youth. www.pridewalk2009.org/

“Estimates are that 40% of homeless youth identity as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgenders or queer. Considering LGBT youth make up only 5-10% of the population in general, the fact that so many homeless youth are queer is troubling. But what can be done to prevent LGBT homelessness?”

I did not have time to alter the art for the client, so it was done by someone else. I have included it for posterity sake.

Third Thursday at the California Academy of Sciences.

A big hello to everyone who came by for a free drawing at the Third Thursday event at the Academy of Sciences in San Francisco.

I had a few spare drawings I did while waiting for people to come by.


I drew the hippo and then Nathan Parker drew the guy,
I later added the heading and the hearts.

 

I did get a chance to look around at the excellent displays of sea life.
Here is me looking (in my opinion) cool.

 

Here is the gang at the Cartoon Art Museum table, who co-sponsored the event.

Deviant Art Holiday Art Trade…Alien Magic

This painting was created as part of a DeviantArt Holiday Art trade hosted by mechangel2002. We were paired up with another artist and then created an original piece which was mailed them.

This is the piece I did for Bobby (aka ~WlfmnXXX). To see the piece of art I get in the trade, check out here. His really is amazing, especially the anatomy and the great inking.

Christmas Card progress

Every year since I have been able to draw, I illustrate my families Christmas card. This year we are moving away from the holiday icons, and instead using the wonders of the nature near the homestead instead.

The first step is to sketch out the design. This is about my third try. I had to force myself to move away from the stereotyped cute animals I normal draw to better represent the world I wish to capture.

With the design finalized I taped it to the back of a sheet of watercolor paper and placed it on my light-box desk. There I began to paint in the grass and loose details in a brown watercolor.

Here is the art with out the back light on, showing only the watercolor areas.

I will post more tomorrow when I get the animals done. I have not decided if they will be rendered in paint or pen and ink.

See the final results HERE (the post above)
