"The Deep Abyss of Sadness"

I haven’t drawn from my heart in a long while. A few years actually. Since becoming a concept artist what i do artwise has become just that, concepts. When i was younger I used to draw and express how i felt and put it on paper. With time it got less and less as I went to art school to learn more commercial art. 

I should probably draw from my heart more often.. Sometimes my best stuff comes out that way.

With that said, I am also going to post (in another post) what I've been working on recently professionally. I just forget lol :P 

Ive been working on the game Gnometown on facebook. If you haven't played it yet, go do it! I've done a shitton of work for the game and get excited to share after they have been released in the game... but I forget lol. And of course, since I've been wedding planning I probably didn't have the time anyway. But SOON! Brace yourselves!

"Bear Hug"

Here's another quick painting for the Playground blog for the theme "Bear Hug" I tried using a diff technique from my usual. I got it from my coworker Emil who i'm assuming uses that technique when painting. Be sure to check out the blog and check out the other talented artists participating!

Moleskin Sketches!

It's been a while since I've posted anything art related or updated anything. I FINALLY got to do some sketches for fun. After work I usually work on more stuff thats work related or relax and watch something on Netflix, or play some Battlefield. Well Netflix just put out the LA Ink series, and i've never watched it before but I do like Kat Von D, so I just decided to watch it for the heck of it. I recommend it for any artist out there, it just motivated me to sketch while watching the show and it's honestly been a long while that anything motivated me to sketch. It's filled with artistic inspiration, even if it is a show about tattoos, its awesome, and I recommend it yo!

And now to show off a sketch.

I used the iPhone app Diptic to take the photos :P (too lazy to scan)

More to come as i clean them up a lil!

Welcome to "Dead" 'Cenada

Mwahahaha! jk... O_O

I finished the zombie concept. I added just a little more from before.. <_<.... >_>...

Check it out!

So It took me a while to figure out exactly what I wanted to do with the background. Luckily I have a pretty creative bf and he gave me the suggestion for the background and I ran with it. Backgrounds and environments aren't my strong suite but I've come a long way from barely doing background images :P This was a fun piece to do to loosen me and my arm up on somewhat speedpainting. Hope people likey! And if you do.. and you're in SF... come to APE and buy a print! ;) (you see what I did there)
