The Fellowship For Alien Detection

A cover I did for "The Fellowship For Alien Detection" by Kevin Emerson

Light Effect

I recently attended another workshop of Camille Przewodek. This was maybe the 4th time I took her workshop. It's always inspiring to see her paint and hearing about her observations. She is a colorist and focuses on the Effect of Light.

This is just a little sketch I did this morning trying to apply what I learned in the past workshop.

Olympic Spirit

This is a little late but here is the "olympic spirit"

More about Grimes

It's been a while since I did some animation.

Madagascar 3 #4

This will be my last post on Madagascar 3. I will post more art in my gallery on my website soon. It was an awesome experience working among great artists. These are a selection of color keys I did for various sequences of the movie.

I had the pleasure to design "Vitali's Flashback" together with Ruben Perez. It was a fun little project by itself.  Here is the color script I did for the sequence.

Madagascar 3 #2

Some more VisDev pieces that didn't make it into the movie. I really enjoyed working on these.

RIP Mr. Sendak

"Where the Wild Things Are" was one of my favorite books as a child. I remember having the English and the German version of the book. I don't know how many times my mom read it to me. 
RIP Mr. Sendak.

Extraordinary Shell

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been busy at work, busy with life....but I'm still here!

Previously I've done a series of paintings for Travisty's Beard with Nina (designed by Lindsey Olivares). For this month Priscilla Wong was kind enough to design her Cousin, Henrik. He likes to collect plants. This is them on a road trip together....
