Mushroom Bot

This challenge was fun. It gave me a chance to experiment more than usual. I hope it doesnt' look too far from my style because I would like to build more of these little bots.

Robot Ideas

Ironically, this illustration was created from start to finish on the computer. Even the sketch work was done in Painter. But let's never forget that the computer is merely a tool and our minds must stay active in the creative process from start to finish. I don't think humans are in danger of being replaced anywhere in the near future.

This is based on an illustration I did about a little dead juggling skull guy who is so nervous performing at his first day of the dead gig that he misplaces one of his juggling skulls and has to sub in an orange. Thus the title of the illustration, "An Orange is Always Good in a Pinch".

I am messing around a lot with vectors lately. I also want to do more people so I can develop the illustration side of me. I will never get tired of doing creatures and animals though.

Here is a tree trunk character that's been showing up in my moleskine lately. I started it in Illustrator and then headed in to Photoshop for texture.

I have been so busy for months working up concepts, sketches and more on a huge project that I haven't been able to do any personal work. This felt good to do and represents a direction I have been thinking a lot about.

Moleskine Madness

I love taking a blank page and watching it evolve in front of my eyes. I could doodle for hours. It never gets old to me.
