Hey so this month I’m showing not one but TWO new pieces at Kaleidoscope… Count em, 2!! Continuing on the Hip Hop portrait series… Being a bit more experimental with some things… I’ve stepped up the oil painting output even more, with gearing up for plein air paintouts and such… A bit of a cornucopia of different genres sooooooooo…… enjoy!

I’m in my 3rd Bachelor year at school.
As some sort of mini thesis (Bachelor Project) we have to make our own assignment in preparation of the bigger thesis should we choose to do a Master (4th) year. This mini thesis will also determine if I’m fit or not fit to do a Master year.

So for this bachelor Project I want to work on a story that is loosely based on English and Scandinavian (mainly the latter) folklore, myths and legends. The story itself is being written by the talented Julie Smits while I handle the illustrations, layout, typography, etc.. But I have no doubt that she will have some great ideas for those parts too.

I will try to keep my blog up to date with how this project evolves and from time to time I’ll give some more info on the story itself.

Here is a sketch, determined to change quite a bit since its still in an early stage.
I hope you’ll like it!

Dragon Age Fan Art! Playing around with ideas for companions. The Green Knight: A Treant seedling who thinks he’s human. He germinated through the corpse of a fallen Grey Warden, filling his armor, and somehow taking on his memories. Heh :) I’m such a dork. These are the kinds of D&D stories that come to me.

this one’s a couple months old but I never got around to posting it, so I figured I should get on it. Did it for a He-Man themed gallery show in LA, sorry for the crappy photo!

aaaaand some figure drawings for good measure, I think.

I was gonna post this on Sunday, but I was dragged away to Disney Land by a couple of crazed Asian ladies. Truth! Anyhoo, here’s a pin-up for a dessert themed anthology that’s coming out later this year!

Hey neat! - my Imagine FX article is on the stands in the US. Is it tacky to talk about your own PR? Maybe - but whatdaheck. If it is, someone tell me. I’m tone deaf about such things. I wish I could post the whole tutorial somewhere - but they retain the rights for six months. I guess a ‘zine’s gotta make some money somewhere! So until then - here’s a teaser. It’s the March 2010 Issue #54 if you want to get a copy.
