New Art – Painted Pumpkins for Halloween
At one of the locations I teach cartooning we painted mini pumpkins, which I had never done. It was surprisingly easy and they came out pretty great I think.

SDCC 2011 part 4: My artwork I created
As you know from my previous posts, I participated in the Cartoon Art Museum’s Sketch-A-Thon at the SDCC2011.
Most of the time we created original art for a donation to the Museum for an individual, but sometimes we did drawings that were just examples while waiting for a customer. A few of mine that did not sell I was able to borrow from the Cartoon Art Museum to Scan and return.
YOU can buy a drawing if it’s still available for a donation of $10+ (plus shipping and handling if needed) and all proceeds go to the Cartoon Art Museum.
All characters are © there respective owners and these are only done as fan tributes and not for reproduction.
I did a few drawings that were “Kick Butt” version of Disney Princesses. This one is Princess Tiana from the “Princess and the Frog” who I saw as a warrior with voodoo powers. (below) To see my version of Belle from “Beauty and the Beast” visit my previous post.
Another Disney character I drew is the mysterious Hat Box Ghost which was a character in the famous Haunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland. The character did not last long in the ride and was removed shortly after it opened making it a mystery that the fans love. Me too.
The last piece of art is my version of DC Comics Superman as a steam punk hero.

New Art! The Future? watercolor
This painting was created in one of the classes I teach. I gave the theme…The Future to try to stimulate some new ideas from the students. I was trying really hard to just go wild and create something with a lot of color and a lot of silliness to it.
I must admit this is sometimes hard for me since I had a lot of experiences in college where people tried to read meaning into the imagery when none was there or I had unknowingly drawn something that seem symbolic to the viewer. If it happens enough time you start worrying that folks will misinterpret something in your art, especially something as unnecessarily adult and then you start to censor your work more then you should.
The truth is that we all interpret art in different ways and see different things, but that does not make what you or I see some planned or subconscious hidden meaning. Interestingly though how we individually interpret art can reveal more about ourselves at times.
Enjoy the painting.
