Busy Busy

I have been busy with personal issues, that I have not had the time to post anything new. However, I have been doing some sketching here and there. Also, I have been reading books on illustration and story boarding. The more I read about the industry, the more confident I'm feeling about art as a career. I'm happy I went down that road. I will have to sacrifice some things in my life, but I know it will be worth it at the end. Plus, my mom and friends expect great things of me. I can't let them down. I must keep moving forward.

Tomb Raider Contest

This is the piece I entered to a Tomb Raider contest on deviantart. Simple, yet stylish. A bit off from what I had in mind for the background.

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.

8-Bit Love

Please come to the next art show reception if you are near the LA area. There will be 8-bit music, live art, and 8-bit art, and best of all it is free!!

8-Bit Graphics Anyone?

Here is a preview of what I'm going to have in the next show, and as the title suggests. It's going be pixelated art.
