I dont know if i have time to draw something today... recycling some thumbs from last year.  The shoe poses are not mine... they are my homie Jeff Browns painted over by Andrea Rhodes.  It was a great internship.

Twist is the best.  There are a lot of bay area artists that have been influenced by his work.  I am one of them.  Back in high school it was all about twist and in some ways my admiration for his work has not left me.  Hands down one of the best.  Playblast sketch. for some of his work click link....http://www.graffiti.org/twist/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_McGee

Some lowlife broke into my car...stole my radio faceplate and they stole the only thing that makes my commute bearable... my sirius radio.  They wont be able to use either of the stolen items since the faceplate needs the deck to work and the  satellite radio will not work since i will report the esn as stolen and deactivate the subscription.

This was a tough one to block in... not because of the posing... but because Maya was acting up and giving me hell.  After a few of fistful hours i managed to fix the issue thanks to Adam the Dresh and Vi Van!  Good looking out!  So here it is as of 3 am.  I have to put it on hold for now... i have another shot to tackle!  Let me know what you think!

I have been trying to get a hang of the flip book hot keys and its work flow while taking a breather from cg during my lunches here at home. I am running flip book on os x and recently updated to the latest version which solved a lot of issues i was having with the application. Here is a quick test on the latest version of flip book. I hope everyone had a great summer.
