Another Drawer's Block

Just to let you know, my photo's are up at The Drawer's Block, so go draw draw some caricatures of me and we'll post them up, just like this one by friend/ awesome artist and designer Schiani Ledo.

The Drawers Block

Here's a lil something I did for The Drawers Block blog, just a place Dan Hay put together to find fun faces of artists to draw, or submit photos if you wanna get drawn. Check it out and submit some stuff! All the cool people are doing it! Also me.

This was brush pen and watercolor.

The Audubon

I went with a group to this great place called the Audubon where my friend Maria volunteers. Its a shelter for birds of prey.




There is always a special challenge when drawing animals live. It is difficult because most of the time the animal wont stay still, but I find i come out with more interesting sketches for that very same reason. The ones down below were drawn with pen on 3x11 paper. It's something I saw Steve Silver do years ago at a caricature convention, and I always liked the idea. You can click on 'em for larger views.

Sketchbook dump

I always like to carry a small sketchbook with me when I go to work. And as is my custom, when I fill one up, I like to compile my favorites and show them here.

These are just quick sketches of people I see walking around.






These were done for basic ink practice. This is what it looks like in front of each stand I work(ed) at.


This is just some random-ness


This is my personal favorite. It isn't often I manage to be clever, so I'm kinda proud of this one. Plus making fun of myself is always fun.

Practice on watercolor

The Nissan Cube is a cool concept, but when you see it in real life, it looks just plain silly.


These are just based in some random photos. I wanted to try out some watercolor over light pencil work. I haven't decided how I feel about it yet.

Dr Sketchy

Well I haven't been to a Dr. Sketchy in a while, and had the opportunity tonight. These are 10 minute sketches. Drawn with a ballpoint pen, markers, and a little colored pencil.

Zoo trip

Went to the zoo last week for some drawing fun. Here are some of the sketches that came out of that. After looking at Peter de Seve's new blog lately, I would really love to be better at drawing animals.

These are all done on a toned sketchbook with Prismacolor pens, markers, and pencils.

Danny Trejo

I just wanna post this up quickly, before my internet cuts out again.

I'm back!

So I know I haven't updated this blog in a long while. The reason for that is that I haven't really drawn much this summer. As most of you know, I draw caricatures at a theme park for a living, and this summer certain changes were made at work that made things very difficult. As a result I've ended every day completely exhausted and with absolutely nothing left to give. This post shows the few sketches that I've drawn in the past 2 months. So yeah, not much of a post considering how long since my last one. But the good news is, summer has been slowing down (good news for this blog, but not my wallet), and I'm getting my energy back and starting to get my groove back. Most of my energy has been going to getting Code 11 regularly updated again, but I think soon I will have plenty of content for both blogs. Code 11 is going to have some major changes in the future, but I wont say anything on that just yet. So don't give up on me yet! I will have more for you here soon! Thanks!

Electric Mini Cooper

Here is one I did for fun of Mini's new electric car. There are quite a few alternative fuel vehicles being developed these days, but I really believe the electric car the future. I think we need to learn to let go of the antiquated internal combustion engine. The electric car is still in its infancy, but once it gets popular enough to be profitable we will see great advances in battery technology, which will drive down the cost as well as increase efficiency and reliability.

The great thing I'm seeing now is sporty electric cars, which I'm very happy about. The only way I could give up my SVT would be for something like this Mini E. It's my dream that my next auto purchase will be electric powered.

Check out this video from Jay Leno's garage. He has a great website full of videos of his personal car collection as well as new cars, which he gives good reviews and opinions. He is very interested in electric cars and he's got plenty of videos on those too.
