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.

Nightlife at the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park

I recently attended Nightlife at the California at the Academy of Sciences. It happens every Thursday night, and the Academy itself is simply amazing!

Clone Wars Episode: Landing on Point Rain

Premieres tomorrow night on Cartoon Network. Let's just say this episode holds a special place in my heart.

Really Exhausted Guy

Saw this guy in San Rafael. He must have been really low on sleep, because his eyes seemed really tired and blood shot.

Clone Wars Trading Cards

I just finished doing a series of Clone Wars trading cards for Topps, 60 in total. Here's a sample of the lot.

Clone Wars Season 2 Premieres this Friday!

Painter

I guess I'm doing a series of sketches based on people I see while I drive.

The Clone Wars Season 2 Premieres October 2nd!

Here's an interview from George and Filoni about what you can expect from Season 2.

It's the Guitar Man

I briefly saw this guitar totin' fella as I was driving by the San Rafael bus depot yesterday. He looked like an old prospector.

Blog Harvest is Back!

A blog that was started by some of us Lucasfilm Animation people laid dormant for a long time, but was recently ressurected: Blog Harvest! It's built on doing a different piece a month, where the topic is comprised by an elaborate process of pulling out pieces of random topics out a bowl.

This month's topics: Circus & Giant Monsters!
