Jermaine Clement Painting - Flight of the Conchords



I'm attempting to do a full body painting in photoshop, so i'm going with this caricature of Jermaine from Flight of the Conchords. I've done the B&W version so far, just working on doing colour now.

Bruce Willis Caricature... revisited

I felt as though I didn't do him justice the first time around, so I redid the caricature and attempted to paint in colour for the first time...

Bride Sketches



These are some sketches I did of 'hot brides' for a wedding blog. Just some rough ones so the blogger can choose which style they wanted, then i'll do a finalized and cleaned and coloured version. The third one was based off of Jessica Stroup, who you can see these days on the highly anticipated and tremendously bad (but in a good way) Beverly Hills, 90210.

Bruce Willis Caricature

Kind of? Sort of? ...maybe not.
Too portraity. And I made his neck really tight to his jaw to give him a beefy look, but I think that was an error in judgement. His mouth bugs me too, but I at least like how his ears turned out.
ANYHOW! Here are a couple of other ones:

Painted Caricature


This is my 2nd attempt at painting digitally in photoshop. Obviously, much more learning is in order. Speaking of which, if anyone has any tips on painting facial hair / stubble, please toss them my way.

New Caricatures






In retrospect, I'd have done Jesse Jackson's eyes larger.

Illustration Friday: 'Enough'







My first submission to Illustration Friday's topic for 'Enough'. Living in Vancouver, fewer things have foiled my plans more than the rain. Also, my very first time drawing in Sketchbook Pro. Pretty sure much more practice is in order.

Threadless submission

Just submitted this tshirt design to threadless. I'm sure i'll be slaughtered by the community's comments and votes, but... figured it was worth a shot.

American Gothic


My brother's 2 friends just got engaged and had a party this past weekend. He asked me to draw a picture to give them based on the 'American Gothic' painting of the 2 old people in front of their farmhouse with the pitchfork... This is them opening the drawing this past weekend. I think they found it amusing.

Back to Life Drawing

The Roundhouse Community Centre offered free life drawing sessions at lunch for 3 weeks in March as part of their Tribute to Dance festival. It was great to be able to life draw again, after 3 years of being away from it. These models were dancers who all wore clothing which posed a bit of a challenge from the regular nudy poses, but it was still fun. Anyhow, here are a few of my drawings... They were all about 2-5 minute poses.
