Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall 2009

Well it's been one fun busy summer..actually we barely had any summer heat and I can't believe Winter is just around the corner. Plenty of eye candy today so enjoy the view..an 'Oh la la' is all I gotta say!

My Heavy Metal - rock and rollin' theme..Yeoww! Digital/mix medium. I won a cool prize from the original line art version of this piece.

Life drawing sessions. Kids, shes not naked ok, lol.

A fan with his new piece of art. He wanted me to sketch his character on the left. Thanks buddy!
Another fan. Decepticon style. This dude came by twice for me to airbrush two more shirts which I can't post up here 'coz there may be kids reading this blog, lol..Let's just say he's truly a Baddddddd dude, haha.

Venom. Just one of my fav sketches that day..Grahhhhh!

By Crom!..I mean, by Odins Beard..err, I mean Asgard! A commissioned shirt and another satisfied fan.

Showing my buddy Adrian the airbrushing skills. Coloring the God of Thunder at this point. Damn, this was fun and easier than sketching on peoples books. An airbrushing 'sketch-off' would be sick and I would have a blast at these.

Victor Lucas of Electric Playground fame easily took notice of our artwork and just had to do an interview. It was hilarious how he first came by and just was stoked by what we had on display, the posters, and the looping 3D animation on display was very helpful as well and got him very interested in our projects. Funny how he still remembers us from way back at a San Diego Comic Con.
Victor gave us awesome reviews on what were presently doing and looking forward to what we have in store. So there's no doubt we're going in the right direction. We appreciate the big props man! Go EP go!

A relaxing day at work at my fav spot downtown.

Perfect weather for some out door art. Doin' the bullets 'Jackson Pollock' style!, lol..
El finito. A 'lil inspiration from three of my movies, Terminator, Aliens and Predator.

Tattooing. Students practicing on a 'rubber fake skin'.
Keep up the good work guys.

My fav drawing tool on the planet. Gotta love Wacom!
The greatest and my fav tool on the planet. Gotta love Wacom!
and the love shows and I know Wacom loves me too ;)..Send me more toys please! lol.
A sneak peak of what's coming up for next year from a video game/toys design company I'm working at ;)...Storyboarding and behind the scenes. I can't reveal much or else I'd get in trouble, lol, but be assured you will see more of this by next year and mark your calendars. 2010 will be insane.

My recent prize thanks to the power of the tablet. Wacom ishhtheshizznek! There's a new product online that has a dual function of a stylus and a touchpad..oh I must have thee! :D . I was lucky enough to win two Wacoms tablets, and have given it to two of my art buddies. My youngest sister is so used to one of these already I might get one for her for Christmas, hehe.

Sis at the tattoo supply store. Here's the first piece I did for our display.

My other sister getting her first tattoo. She had a scar over her knee so she wanted to cover it up with her fav logo, the Playboy Bunny. Crazy girl, lol.

It begins here. Creating the latest Tattoo wall art canvas for our shop. Size - 5' x 6' feet.
Colors filling in and about 80% there...
Didn't take long and I say I'm ready to battle, lol. This is why I love to mix and do both mediums of Art. I think it transfers well to what I do in the digital realm...
..such as this. This one is titled 'A Distant Journey'.Graffiti and Photoshop.
and finally for some STEEL BREED! You are now witnessing the CGI birth here folks! It's been a long time coming (I was surprised to find out that my initial concept designs go back as far in high school) so I'm excited to unleash these babies out there. Last year I asked a very good friend of mine to help write the story for this concept and here we are, the site is up and running! We hope that many will enjoy our work. Cheers.

TAATS You

Honing the skills on another art form I like. Tattooing. Some people think this stuff is easy but there's definitely a lot to it than just drawing on a live skin. Even after a year, I don't think I could call myself a true tattoo artist, yet..until I get a real one on myself, lol. I have a few cool designs in mind already but I think once I have finished my special martial Arts 'Painter X' training, then it'll be the day. I can always settle for the temporary taats for now.

My good friend Cho-Zen's got an awesome tattoo on his shoulder. Badass and suits him well. One thing for sure, I'd like to get my family crest (which I researched and actually exist) and my own custom dragon. The scary part is of course is getting addicted to it and adding a tattoo piece for every freaking occasion :P. As they say 'No Pain. No Gain'.
Very Rosey. Why Art never gets boring.

Zrrt! Zrrt! Zrrrrrt! (times a million). 'Life/Death' Ambigram design. (likod ni angel eto ;))

He's The White Devil. Lol, 'coz he says so.

Gyals. My fav and quick fun writings.

A Medusa unfortunate, this sucker weighs about 70lbs!, lol. Just one of my latest sculptures to airbrush. Woof.

The young and old, portraits digitally brushed and painted, sold sold sold.
Can't wait to compile my Sci-Fi/Fantasy stuff.

Creative Ensemble

Awesome weekend. Looks like I got this whole week cut out for me. Here's just some of the heavy commissions I'll be working on. 2 motorcycle helmets! I've posted what they look like for now and I'll be taking pictures of the progress of course. By end of June I should be updating a new site for my airbrushing gallery showing a whole range of my services.

I'm looking forward to jumpin' on a few car projects as well. One of my new customers wants his vehicle done up with a 'T-Rex/Godzilla' like theme. Just imagine this as if the car is being pulled from the back half with the creature's own claws ripping the metals off. Cool.

Here's another BMW beast creature on the go. Brooom.

Speaking of cool this buddy loved my dragon design so much he got the tattoo done on himself! It's his first one too. Crazy dude..but right on! Haha. Heal well and thanks man.


A productive weekend and what a way to end the night by having some brainstorming sessions with the deadliest martial artists in the world, lol. *Thank you sensei Jhadan. (By the way Mike, you know who we all are! :P).

Despite how busy we all are in our careers, something as big as this can't be passed by. All I can say is The Science-Ninja Force Team is back! There's going to be a lot of interesting events unfolding in the next few months so stay tuned.

Hyah.
