Sketches,..

I'm finally beginning the work on my website and after long back n forth I decided it is going to be a sea creature themed site. I seem to have a love of those awkward deep sea creatures. I took a trip to Maui awhile back and fell in love with all the life I discovered under the surface. The color, the movement, the way it immerses you into a entirely different world. So I began my scribbles of 2 lil characters but will be doing ALOT more in the coming days and will be posting the progress as I go along.

I BE JAMMIN

Well after a couple week delay I'm finally getting around to posting some new finished work. It's amazing how quickly time can cruise on by when you are knee deep with no sleep. So now that the bags under my eyes and subsided a bit,...here comes a post . This one is a continuation of a sketch for a music book cover I had posted recently. Nothing like a warm tropical illustration to make me feel better on a ice cold November Day.

Some fish in a pan

These pieces were done for a sing along book that taught music scales.
I had the blowfish between the man's legs originally,..but oddly enough the client said
no. Live n Learn!!!

Bounce!

I was digging through some old files and came across these sketches i did awhile back for a Hospital Kangaroo character. I kinda liked them so I thought I'd share these golden oldies! Enjoy!

LIL ITTYBITTY TEDDY BEAR

Well I'm posting a collection of some bears I was working on for Dunkin Donuts coffee.
Yes somehow cute lil bears and imported coffee beans make sense. These are all just concepts and I'm still working on character development and switching around color pallets. The 1st brown version tends to look to much like a rejected
version of Yogi Bear for my liking,..but for now I shall deal.

MAKING SOMETHING DULL,.... FUN!

Well I got job to create a fun pen mailer. A company wants to send out pens and have a fun unique packaging concept to go with it. We all know that pens are the most interesting thing on the market. I mean it writes, you can sign casts with it, you can shoot spitballs with the tube. Limitless possibilities! But how do you make it fun?

So this was my first stab at it. Still a WIP and will be tinkering with the characters a bit and the type treatment. But I thought I'd post this and continue polishing this turd. ENJOY!!!
