A.P.E. 2010

A.P.E. is this weekend and I will be sharing table #444 with the talented Mr. Vaughn Ross. I will be selling some prints, a sketchbook of my recent travels to Europe, and copies of BattleMilk 2. These are some pages from the European sketchbook. Hope to see you there!

L'Age mûr [Maturity] by Camille Claudel

One of my favorite pieces I got see while in Paris was Camille Claudel's Maturity. The sketch does the piece no justice. This was from the version of the sculpture from the Rodin Museum. You can also find a version in the Musee d'Orsay.

A lil' place called Europe

I just returned from a 2 week trip in Europe! It was amazing: the art, the food, the scenery, the people, the architecture, and did I mention the art?

Unfortunately while I was there I picked up a bad second-hand smoking habit, but luckily I have since been able to kick that.

Apparently I like drawing bears...

BATTLEMiLK 2 Signing at Gallery Nucleus

The guys and I will be at Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, CA this Saturday (August 28th) to sign copies of BATTLEMiLK 2 along with William Stout, who will be there signing his book "Hallucinations." The event goes from 4 - 8pm. Hope to see you there!

Old Pens

As much as I love breaking in a new pen, I really like finishing up an old one too. The old ones start to dry out a bit, but creates a different kind of character in their mark because of that.

BATTLEMiLK 2 @ San Diego Comic Con!

BATTLEMiLK Volume 2 will be at this year's San Diego Comic Con, available at the Design Studio Press Booth (Booth #1701). The artists (yes, that includes me) will be there to sign copies on Friday, July 23, from 4 - 5pm.

If you are not able to make it to Comic Con this year, BM2 will be available wherever DSP books are sold (i.e. Amazon.com, Borders, etc.) Hope to see you there!

Well hello there!

Alcatraz Visit #2

Taking a tour of Alcatraz is one of the few touristy activities in San Francisco I recommend doing. I took my uncle while he came to visit recently. They also feature a nighttime tour I'm eager to take someday. Who's in?!

Battlemilk Volume 2

I have been working on a book with some friends (David Le Merrer, Jackson Sze, Kilian Plunkett, Thang Le, and Wayne Lo) and it will be coming out really soon: Battlemilk Volume 2. The website became live today. The book will be available online, in stores, and at this year's San Diego Comic Con (where we will be signing copies at the Design Studio Press booth). Oh, Comic Con it's been awhile since we've seen each other, let's try to be friends shall we?

Carnival Daredevil

This is a development sketch for a character that's been bouncing around me noggin.

Work's been crazy, but life's still good.

Work has been extra, how you say, nuts lately, but I took some time to enjoy the city during a beautiful weekend. Great company, beautiful sunshine, delicious eats, and some sketching made for an amazing day.

Bee Hive @ Sol Food

Here are a few memory sketches of a bee hive sportin' girl I saw at my favorite restaurant in San Rafael, Sol Food.

How To Train Your Dragon

I got to see Dreamwork's new animated feature "How To Train Your Dragon" tonight. It's a beautiful, fun, enjoyable film. Go catch it!

Lil Man on a Scooter

I caught a glimpse of this guy while I was enjoying a delicious Kalbi & Kim-chi sandwich at King Foot Submarine in the Lower Haight. Man I want another right about now!

It's raining outside, and I'm drawing inside...

... what a great combination.

Playing with Ink Brushes

Ink has always been a difficult medium for me. So I started using it more and more lately in order to become more proficient with it, and these Japanese brushes I've been playing with are a-freakin-'mazing!

Beautiful Weekend in San Francisco Finally!

The sun made an appearance this weekend and the weather was amazing, so I made a trip to the zoo.

Don't go in there! That's a dragon!

This is a study for a piece I have to finish VERY SOOON!

Borders Girl

Memory sketch of a girl at Borders tonight. By the way unless you're a Jonas Brothers or Twilight fan, Borders probably doesn't have the calendar for you.
