Ali, Carissa, Melissa, and I made our now annual trip down to Austin for SXSW Film and Music festival.  It ends up being my yearly fix of live indie music.  I bring a sketchbook and draw in the dark.  Here are some of the scribbles.   Bands include:  Glen Hansard, Heartless Bastards, Crooked Fingers, Beach House, Brazos, Bear Hands, and more.

All in class assignments from a class I’m taking with Nathan Fowkes

5″x8″ or so, Guache and watercolor. I’m taking a class. There is plenty to work on but I feel like I’m getting better…. Having fun too.

Started taking a class with Nathan Fowkes on Monday nights at LAAFA. A few watercolor portraits to come soon.

We’re finishing up a rather exciting project at Disney in the next few weeks. It’s been keeping me pretty busy and away from this blog. The short,  Directed by John Kahrs will be heading out there sometime next year.

We’re very proud of this one and can’t wait to show the world.

I ended up illustrating various palindromes as if they were movie titles.  Some turned out decent enough… some feel rushed. This was the longest palindrome I came across online.

Went up to the roof tonight to paint on the iPad from life… Downtown Los Angeles looking east from spring and 8th. The iPad is perfect for painting at night.
