Powersuit.

I've always thought it was a funny word for an article of woman's clothing... Especially considering that there isn't any kind of blaster cannon, or rocket launchers attached to it.. But I digress, here's a little snippet from today..

Exploring New Palettes..

I liked the profile on this lady I drew here. So I'm sharing it... I've seen women before with very pronounced brows and foreheads, and it makes for interesting drawings..
Beyond that I'm trying to use a wider palette of colors now and in the future... Will see if this is a step in the right direction..

Hope you Dig..

Bean Man!

Just posting before I leave the office for the day....
Been very busy this week. Lots of digital painting on this comic project that sprang up in my department, perhaps I'll be able to share some of it when it launches. For now I'm pumped to do some painting and drawing on my three day weekend. Now lets I can carry that trend on through the weekend...or If I'm gonna sleep in and knock about the apartment.

Hope you dig..

Slippery...

I'm trying to to let the posts slide too much but work is heavy now and I think I closed my eyes for like 2 hours last night if that.... But, getting to paint and do drawings, can be very satisfying...

Here's a snake...the next few posts might have to be just scans w/o color...
I hope you dig and that I see you again when some more posts drop..

2011, things I will shoot for...

I make images.

Some good, some bad, and others are just studies that crop up in my mission to be better at my craft while making a name for myself among you all (my peers) in the art community...

I'm not sure what I'll do with my year of 2011, But its a year flush with options and ripe with potential.

A.)I'm shooting to reboot the website. Gogopedrodotcom will rise again.

B.)March Modok Madness is alive and well in 2011!

C.)I plan to do more showpieces in the new year. I've made some good gallery contacts in the last year and hope I can parley that into more invitations in the future..

D.)I hope to get all over my figure drawing efforts, and possibly take some classes to build new skills.

E.)I also think I'm gonna post more on this here Blog. I'd toyed with the idea that I'd done something like 400 posts in the last four years... So I wondered if i could do 400 posts..in one year...

F.)I'm considering throwing together a book (but, I'm unsure if people would want to buy something like that in these economic times).

I think I can, but I hope you'll all come by and visit me while I'm at it..
Best wishes to you all and feel free to share your artistic new years aspirations with the community.

Here's to 2011.

p.s. Hope you dig the girlie..

Holiday Card 2010...

I've had a hectic couple of days leading up to this holiday, and I wasn't even sure I'd have time to do one of these.... But, after a little personal peer pressure and some tough love I was able to knock out some form of holiday greeting...

Seeing as how a lot of other cool artists are posting them up today I figured I'd join right in.....

Happy holidays everyone, and best wishes for 2010!!

Honk if you like the card,
Hope you dig...

Mustache Charity ACHEIVEMENT...

Here's the final Mustaches for Kids inspired Sketch I had on hand... I wanna thank everyone that got involved in the giving spirit of the season. The fund raising for the last four weeks helped add to a nationwide total of almost 220K for underfunded public schools. It feels good to give to needy school students and teachers and I look forward to being a part this all again next year..

Enjoy the Sketch..
Hope you dig..
