I was listening to a Smodcast and they were speaking about the old Bo Knows, Nike ads. They turned it into Mose Knows which was pretty funny. So I decided to digitally paint Moiser as Bo Jackson in the Nike ad and this is the final product :)

Hi everybody! Here's a little pic I did of Poison Ivy. Had a lot of fun painting the final image, hope to have something new up in a bit.

Hola! It is has only been 5 mins. since my last post but I've missed you all dearly. Here is an idea I've been kicking around for awhile and I am just getting back to. I want to touch up a few things on this but then again I would like to move on and let this go. I had tons of fun drawing all the skulls and the creepy home. Please find a comfy chair, curl up with a warm cocoa and enjoy!

Hola muchachos! It has been forever since I've posted on my blog. I'm not even sure if anyone even views these things anymore but either way I come baring gifts. This is a tattoo commission I completed a few months back. Not my normal cup of tea but I really liked how it turned out and so did she! So sit back, relax, and curl up to the warm fire that is my newest post. :)

Stuntman Mike

2011-02-13T12:30:00.000-08:00

Hi everybody! So I was watching "Death Proof" one of my favorite movies and I decided I wanted to draw Mr. Badass himself, Stunt Man Mike! Otherwise known as Kurt Russell. So this is what I came up with. Enjoy!

Wolverine

2011-01-27T16:02:00.000-08:00

Hi everybody! I have always wanted to drawing one of my favorite comic book characters, WOLVERINE!!! However, I never really tried, until now that is... I am quite please with the results and I hope to draw more comic characters in the future. So here's Wolverine in his bad ass 80's costume; which I believe to be completely underrated. Enjoy!

Speed Painting

2011-01-27T15:56:00.001-08:00

Hi everybody! So I decided I wanted to try out "speed" painting and thought who should I paint. Of course, I thought ME; the best subject ever. :P So anyway, I did this in 2hrs and I know that's not necessarily speedy but I had fun just playing around and letting go of my regimented style. Enjoy!

Happy Holidays!

Hey everyone! I don't like posting videos on this blog but I wanted to show a 20 sec. short Damian Czerniakiewicz and I completed for a competition. We had a blast making it and plan on doing something else in the near future. Enjoy!

Hey everyone, hope all is well! I've been painting a picture for my good friend Bryan and his signifigant other. It has taken me considerably less time then other paintings I have done in the past but it still took me awhile. However I am very pleased with this, my most recent painting and I am planning on doing another one for my girlfriend (I know lame). I had a blast painting this and I can't wait to do another one! I hope you like it as much as I do. Oh and if your interested I will be posting a video of all my arduous work, in steps, on my animation blog, justintime640.blogspot.com. Enjoy!

So I was going through some of my layouts and I stumbled upon this one. I am really impressed with what I did, considering I never viewed it as a layout because I originally drew it to accompany a drawing of natives I did. Oh well, it turned out great and I'm happy I got more use out of it, ie, portfolio piece. Well, here are the three steps I went through to complete it (minus lighting and colour balancing in PS). Enjoy!

2010-02-20T16:36:00.000-08:00

Here's some pictures I just finished for a sketch blog. I had fun drawing them!

2010-02-15T16:18:00.000-08:00

So here is a painting I began working on near the end of last year, for my grandmother. I worked on it a little here and there but I never really got around to finishing it. Well without soundng too melodramatic, my grandmother passed away before I could finish the painting. However, I just finished it and I am happy with the results. More importantly, I think my grandmother would like it a lot!

2010-01-22T23:22:00.000-08:00

This is a picture I did for a monthly sketch blog (the theme was gangsters), unfortunetly I never completed it in time. However, I did finish it and I had fun coming up with gangsters that weren't cliche/conventional. Actually I think they look more like mafia thugs, then "made men". Oh well, enjoy!

Chop Suey Trio, that is what Three Delivery is now called on the French channel. Check it out on Saturdays at 8:30 (actually more like 8:40ish sometimes). Chop Suey Trio features Kim, Nikko and Tomi instead of the original Sue, Sid and Tobey. Anyway, all my homies out there, this is the show I worked on. Enjoy!

Here's some of my favorite horror movie character's. Happy Halloween!

Here's a few zoo drawings I did the other day. I kind of like my flamingo clean up up I think I want to play around with it a bit more and see what happens.

2009-09-15T21:23:00.000-07:00

I started to research natives and jungles around the world and I quickly began to realize that I was drawn towards Ecuadorian and Amazonian natives. So I came up with my own style of natives; let's call them Amadorians! As for the animals, I discovered pygmy jerboa's this summer, so I drew mutant size versions of them as the native's pets. Oh yeah, I did this for a sketch blog that rocks, check it out. http://sketchthemes.blogspot.com/

2009-09-07T09:46:00.000-07:00

So I took a picture of my girlfriend Sarah for fun. It was kind of our personal hommage to the Pulp Fiction poster in my room.

Eventually I decided to do a Photoshop CS3 painting of her picture and this is the end result. I am pleased with result and I can't wait to do another painting!

2009-08-08T06:51:00.000-07:00

Here's a drawing I did for a sketch blog. It's a cool blog check it out under my other artists blogs.

2009-08-03T08:32:00.000-07:00

I promised my girlfriend, Sarah that I would draw a picture of the two of us posed as if we were 70's action stars. So this is what I came up with; I feel like this could be a show lol.

2009-07-28T16:09:00.000-07:00

I was sitting around watching a film named Elegy, (starring Ben Kingsley) and I got the urge to sketch him.

So the drawing on the right is the result of a numerous amount of sketchs.

The drawing on the left developed as I started to clean up my drawing. So my B.K drawing then became him as Mahatma Gandhi, which he played years ago in, you guessed it, "Gandhi".

2009-07-24T18:59:00.000-07:00

So I bugged my friend Christina to draw a picture of me and she did. I liked it so much I decided to draw a picture of her. So here it is, thanks again Christina!

2009-07-17T21:11:00.000-07:00

This is the finished product of my original zoo drawing of a jaguar.

2009-07-14T07:04:00.000-07:00

Here's a digi painting I did for a friend, she hasen't recieved it yet so hopefully she won't see this.

2009-07-08T19:42:00.000-07:00

So I went to the zoo today, and it was awesome! I love going there; minuse all the noisey kids, it's a pretty peaceful place. Anyways, here's some work I liked from my sketches today, enjoy.

2009-06-24T20:56:00.000-07:00

Trying to do something more graphic here. It kind of reminds me of some weird androgenous ziggy stardust, which actually works now that I think of it. Anyways, I think I just like drawing naked women and toilets. :)

Here's a father's day card I made for my dad.

Niece's B-day Card

2009-06-18T18:40:00.000-07:00

Here's a b-day card I made for my niece. Obviously, I was influenced by Lilo and Stitch but I had fun drawing this.

2009-06-16T16:33:00.000-07:00

Here's a painting I worked on after I watched a video of a Pygmy Jerboa. These things exist and they're really cool!

Well I finely graduated and I have to say that it was an amazing experience. Everyone I went to school with has improved emensely. All the films impressed me and I can't wait to see what everyone is going to do in the future. This is proving to be one of the most excitng times in my life/begining career, and I'm anticipating many excitig developments. Anyways, I'm just rambling now but congradulations to everyone who persevered over the years, even when times seemed bleak. As much as people (outside of the coarse) may think a BAA in animation is no big deal; it is and I'm incredibly proud that I got to earn one along side everyone in my year. Congradulations, to everyone again, and here's to our future success!!!
