DISNEY....... here i come!

2009-10-11T17:04:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys, just thought Id update this ol thing. Im headed off to Disney tommorrow to start my new job there. I will be doing some animation there for a while and I'm really looking forward to it. The childrens book is still making progress, but has been put on hold for the new position.

NEW STUFF

2009-08-15T23:18:00.000-07:00

Well, I figured it was about that time. Heres a new painting I did in Santa Monica. The other image is the cover to my childrens book. Still a WIP.

To new beginnings and endings

2008-07-15T16:37:00.000-07:00

I finally finished my portrait of the young girl.........Wow, what an undertaking. I also began a commission for Panini Petes, who was recently on TV with "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives". Anyways, a few more hours on his piece and it will be finito!

French Quarter

2008-07-14T08:34:00.000-07:00

Heres the French Quarter in Fairhope......... Little tighter than usual, I know.

UPDATE

2008-07-13T17:30:00.001-07:00

Another 5-6 hours here............. I feel like Im making some good headway.

Back on Track

2008-07-13T13:58:00.000-07:00

Well.......i decided not to scrap this 22 x 30 painting.........I stuck with it and now have it in a place i can move forawrd with. Wow, this has been a tough one to reproduce.

oops

2008-07-12T17:50:00.000-07:00

SHOWDOWN

2008-07-12T17:41:00.000-07:00

This portrait is kicking my butt................ any suggestions?

Destin houses are rediculous

2008-07-09T19:51:00.000-07:00

I painted this last week with Mikey at his beach house.

Wheelin'

2008-06-29T13:56:00.000-07:00

I decided that I would try and limit my color pallete a bit to switch things up. I completed this 18 by 24 in about 2 hours keeping it loose, and energetic. I'm thinking about doing a series of these to begin selling. I like the idea and color pallete, so we'll see what the public thinks. This is in my "neighborhood", my neighbors yard and wheelbarrow. I hope they didnt mind me standing out there..........ha.

Downtown painting

2008-06-27T08:36:00.001-07:00

18 by 24 new painting i did on site downtown FAIRHOPE.

BOATS.....................gotta love 'em

2008-06-13T14:18:00.000-07:00

Here are a few of the last paintings I've completed. I've really been into the boat thing lately, not really sure why. Great place to spend some quality time though.
Enjoy

NEW LIP SYNC!

2008-04-30T12:47:00.000-07:00

Here is a link to my first female animation. It is a lip sync to the show "the office" on NBC. The model was provided by Kelly Versaggi, a fellow classmate at Ringling College of Art and Design.
Of course, all critiques are welcome.

THE VISIONARY

2008-02-28T08:39:00.000-08:00

I thought Id give everyone who is not familiar with my thesis a little taste of what it looks like. Bernard the bullfrog is his name, and contacts are his game! Thesis is coming soon, so be sure to check my website for the full short.

NEW LANDSCAPE PAINTINGS

2008-02-20T21:52:00.000-08:00

Here are a few new landscape studies Ive been working on. Im focusing on producing quick oil paintings in as little as 1 1/2 to 3 hours. All feedback, as usual, is very welcome!

MY WEBSITE IS UP

2007-12-06T14:19:00.001-08:00

Hey guys, My website is now up and running! Please visit and let me know about any issues that i may need to address! Thanks.....

Oil landscapes

2007-07-23T17:14:00.000-07:00

These were fun to do, but i realized as i went on to the second piece that i liked its looseness much better. The first was done predominately from a photograph, and the second was painted on site. The first is an 18}{24 and the other is a 20}{20.

Acrylic landscape STUDIES

2007-07-23T17:04:00.000-07:00

I have been painting these once a week. I am experimenting with color and lighting in landscape painting. It has proved to be challenging, but i like the loosness the 30 - 45 minute time frame is producing. Comments welcome as always!

Teapot setup

2007-07-23T16:59:00.000-07:00

Hey here is a still life in oil that took a couple hours to complete. I actually have a photo about half way through to show the process.

SOME NEW ACRYLIC WORKS

2007-07-01T17:06:00.001-07:00

These pieces are all class works so they are done rather quickly. However, i wanted to work this way to see how the speed would affect the outcome. (+ class time is not very long.) These are acrylics and are relatively small. The top one may need some explaining as far as content goes. They are paint brushes in and around a roll of the cheap brown paper towels.

ANIMATIONS!

2007-06-14T12:51:00.000-07:00

Ive decided that its time to post my animations. These pieces are from my second semester junior year CA 3 Class. Alot of time and effort goes into each one as most of you know and crits are always welcome.

2007-05-25T08:10:00.000-07:00

This is a piece that i used to cool off once i had gotten home. I needed something to put my attention on, but relax while doing. Its a Dung beetle by the way!
