big blizzard

hey everyone!
so i am finally back in brooklyn after spending christmas back home in Rhode Island and Mass, and there seems to be entire mountain ranges of snow EVERYWHERE. its pretty amazing really.
so here are some more illustrations i did for the premature ejaculation project. i was pretty happy with doing them in this style, and it was a lot of fun using colors I don't normally use.



Here are some more of the Honest Tea illustrations i made as well. These were fun but pretty simple, and where treated with text afterwords. Hopefully i can get my hands on the finals with text soon.



And Finally! here is another matador final. There are actually a few small things I would like add (mostly just highlights on the matadors outfit) but still, here is the progress.

More to come, I am finishing up the illustrations for Smuckers this week, plus some stuff from my sketchbook. good night!

food companies and medical diseases

hey everyone
happy holidays! i just realized im going home for christmas at the end of the week and i dont have a single gift purchased yet. oh well! so the past two weeks i got a lot of illustration work which is fantastic, though my matador paintings had to take the back burner for a little bit. i have four completed and one more thats 90% finished though, so im pretty pumped. any who, here are some simple illustrations ive done recently, these first three are for Honest Tea


and some super quick berries

here one out of 14 pieces i did on the disease Vasculitis. Its based off a story form some one breaking through the barriers of the disease. it was really great making these, even if they wanted an edward gorey style (which kills my hand after a while)

and finally I am doing some illustrations for Smuckers, which is pretty awesome. very simple childrens book style, heres a sketch for one of the pieces

i will post more later, time to get back to work!

inner space

hey everyone
i am finally back to painting my matadors! i didnt realize how long a break i took until i set out my paints for them. oh well, feels good to get back and i feel pretty determined to finish them quickly. here is a not so great color corrected one

i dont have any good pictures yet, but heres a quick snapshot form my phone of the signs i made for this new juice bar called the fresh collective. i had to do all the tiny lettering by hand, not so fun.

i discovered this old film composer, Sven Libaek, who did great music for old nature and exploration documentaries (wes anderson used a few of his songs in the life aquatic), and man, its good. i made these color/texture studies the other night inspired by his soundtrack, inner space. i think i will use them for backgrounds in some paints soon.
