8-Bit Love Art Work

Here are the pieces I did for 8-Bit Love. The pieces are still up at Tribal Cafe on Echo Park. All the other pieces there are also awesome. It is worth checking out if your in the area. They will be taken down on the 15 of march.

"Imagine a world were life on earth has been poison by waste and fumes of our machines. A world were life can not flourish and is slowly withering. A world were everything we know is gone, and all that remains are machines of our destructive civilization."

The Islander

This is the poster I did for the film The Islander, a film by my friend Miles. This took a while to make, because I first did a 30x40 poster by hand. After that we did small tweaks to the poster on Photoshop. The end result turn out great. You can check out the film's Facebook Page here: The Islander, for movie premier info, photos, and other fun stuff.

Sketches

Here are sketches of my art pieces that will be in the 8-Bit show. As you can see it is a messy process of capturing my thoughts or ideas onto paper. I have to work quickly, otherwise I might lose that image in my head. After that I just clean the sketch on Photoshop. This is also the same process I use when I design a character, I keep on developing ideas or improving the character before I decide on a final piece. Although some people tell me to slow down on my sketching.
