Colorful Claude....

he might be some kinda European action film star, least that's the vibe I had when I painted him out...But, I wanted it to be a little colorful too on this bright sunny Friday afternoon...

3 short of 100....

So, in looking over my sadly neglected blog this evening I realized that roughly 97 people follow the posts, sketches, and other going on's that I put up here from time to time. I'm pretty honored, that people have been enjoying my work...leaving me comments and feedback...it keeps me connected to the art community in a way (both geographically and socially speaking) that I simply couldn't manage by myself in any other way...
I'm posting up a sketch I had laying about and then Polished up this afternoon with some halftone technique that I'm practicing for a showpiece I'm working on right now...


Thanks for all the awesome support...AND by all means, give me a shout...I'm always happy to hear from yah...
Hope you dig...

BIG WEEKEND...
I hope all my friends out west are having a great time in San Diego, and that all my other friends across the US, and the world are looking forward to some great weekend activities... Sadly, I'm a little under the weather right now and will probably spend my weekend around the Apartment, working on some projects, forcing fluids, and sleeping a great deal... I've been lame with the posts lately but here is some pay I've been doing with digital halftoning on another project.... I found this demo that does really nice Benday Dots and such and I've been fiddling with it for days now...

Here's a girlie face with some halftone worked into it...
I'll share more work soon..
Hope you dig..

All Hands On Deck Submission.

Hey all,
Well, UPS had a Severe blunder with my art delivery for ALL HANDS ON DECK (an ocean themed show I was participating in over in Philly).... It arrived a little late I think and I'm not completely sure if you be able to see it now, but I figured I'd take a minute to share it with you here..
Though its not entirely accurate to how a Norse burial would work...it is a romanticized concept mixing some Norse burial customs and a very flashy burial at sea....If I were to be cremated I'd opt for this.
Feedback is most appreciated and as always, Hope you dig...

8o's TOY TRIBUTE SHOW!

Here is my artwork from the 80's Toy show, held by THE AUTUMN SOCIETY of Philadelphia... It's my tribute to CONSTRUX, a toy I personally love a great deal.. I formatted it within a Mandala, to kinda signify how zen-like it was to build with these when I was a young boy. Beyond a few printing snafu's I really like where this image was going and am entertaining the idea of doing a few more and making a series of them....so that I might design other parts from this toy line and arrange them in wonderful ring-like patterns...

If your off to the show snap some photos for little ol' me and let me know what you think of the work, or just shout out if you love CONSTRUX too.
