So I went to this Bach concert at a church down in Baltimore with my girlfriend and one of her friends.  They’re both music majors and super into classical works, so they very much wanted to go to this.  And I have to say I enjoyed it as well. Very cool experience.  Also there was this happy old gentleman sitting in front of me.  He kept dozing off here and then, and then he’d wake up with this huge smile on his face. Hahah, I just had to draw him.

So I was commissioned by friends to design a T-shirt of one of my characters, and here’s what I came up with.  Showed them a few color variations and they wound up choosing the one below.  Pretty fun. YEAH BOY :D

Haha, my friend Betsy Bauer had some ridiculous photobooth photos of herself on facebook.  Those things are so ridiculous, they really produced great caricatured features, really great for inspiring different character designs.  I did this quick painting of her earlier today.  I may work on it more at some point if I feel like it, haha.  The right is the original sketch I drew in my sketchbook, and the left is what I did to it after I threw it into Photoshop.  I really recommend drawing like this sometime, it’s really fun! Haha!

Hot off the press!  Freshly printed business cards!

For my excellent pianist girlfriend :)
I should know, I designed them.

Here’s a concept sketch of some of my characters from my Middle Grade series titled “St. Aehr’s Academy”.  The story revolves around these three main characters who attend a boarding school for monsters.  Stay tuned as I will post more updates about this story in the future!

HI THERE!

This is a greeting from one of my storybook characters.  A rather ecstatic concept of Allen as ‘Goat Boy’.  More to come.

A rare personal doodle I was actually able to do inbetween all the commercial work 
Trying out a more animated style with vectors. Maybe do something with this? Maybe not? who knows.  Anybody know flash?
