New Year Pinnups! Oh My

Some fresh pencil sketches, a little workout.

Dinosaur Illustration: boy meets Deinonychus family

Here's the first page of a dinosaur adventure kids book I'm working on.  It's something I would have loved to read when I was a pup.

I chose to use the most cutting edge ideas about dinosaurs.  Certain dino fossils have been found with feathers covering their entire body!  Most famously Archaeopteryx seen below.

No big surprise, Archaeopteryx had a bone structure very similar to modern day birds.  Therefore, one can assume that other dinos, like theropods who also shared this bone structure, very well had feathers covering their bodies.  I would guess for camouflage, communicating, and/or mating.  For a kids book, I chose to go with the more visually ravishing tropical kind of color schemes.

Cupid's Conundrum Concept Art

Here's some concept art I did for a little movie based in San Francisco.  It's a fun story about online dating.  These paintings show the difference between what is first perceived and imagined, and what the reality is.


First she imagines he is a wild adventurer, taking her to highest romantic towers with breathtaking views.

But in reality, he most often explores digital worlds in video games from the safety of his couch.

And now it's his turn to imagine her finishing up her final theatrical performance of the season to thunderous applause and adoration.

But in reality, she talks at the vagina monologues to a mostly empty dark little room.

Happy New Year! Chinese Fireworks!

A photo of real Chinese fireworks taken in the city of Chengdu in Scechuan province, China.  A great place to visit if you haven't been.  Food, culture, people.  Awesome.  Happy New Year!
