Trying something new. Still keeping things somewhat graphic and flat, but with a bit more rendering than my usual style. It was a lot of fun to paint this piece.

WonderCon 2008

This year was my first year to have a little booth at WonderCon in SF, we had books, prints, t-shirts and tote bags. For those who came by and say hi, thank you. It was a wonderful experience for me, and people are super nice in SF. I've met quiet a few amazing artists there as well. and I have to thank my friend Mario who helped me set up and took care of the booth when I was out shopping for others' goodies! Here's a little sketch I did while I was there.

The Producers

Just watched the movie "The Producers" last night. The visual design of the movie was very nicely done. Some parts of the movie was a little slow, but there are lots of really funny characters in this movie. I read a lot of negative review about the film, but I actually like the movie. what can I say, Mel Brooks is genius! Here's a painting I did after the movie.
