I’ve been SOOO busy recently that I haven’t been updating regularly (sorry). I can see the end in sight and I have a few fun projects in the works! In the meantime I thought I’d share some recent doodles. Most of these were done from severe boredom.
Watch out Haunted Legs fans! Things are happening!!! Stay tuned 🙂
Earlier this year I drew a quick doodle of a pair of severed limbs who I called, “The Haunted Legs” – the doodle kept coming back to me and I’ve decided to use it as a jumping point for a month long art project. My challenge is to do one illustration per day for the whole month of July. The project is live as of yesterday – and you can check it out by clicking “Haunted Legs” on my top banned.
I have even tried my hand at traditional hand-drawn animation (above) resulting in the animation below.
Here are the four final illustrations I’ve been working on the past few weeks. They are a combination of watercolor, India ink, and colored pencil. I’m not sure if the book they are a part of will ever get off the ground, but we’ll see 🙂
I recently set up a new workspace! I took a few hundred bucks and two trips to IKEA, but I’m finally in business!
I don’t usually do book reviews on here – but I read Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon a month or so ago and I’ve been thinking about it since. It’s a REALLY easy read – short blurby pages so you can pick it up and put it down easily. I think what I liked most about it is that I agreed with so much of what was in there that I felt like I could have written it! A great read for any contemporary creative.
It’s only $8.50 or something on Amazon – so there’s no excuse not to give it a go.
AND IF YOU’RE IN PORTLAND: Mr. Kleon himself is going to be speaking this coming Tuesday! Maybe I’ll see some of you there 🙂
Threadless just reprinted my “Tweet” shirt design! Thanks to everyone who requested a reprint! It’s in a new color too. Ooooooo….
