ASIFA life drawing: 1-5 min sketches

finally managed to go to a life drawing session after skipping out the entire last semester.

these are from an older session that i never got around to scanning:





these are from the session last thursday (more to come tomorrow):

quick flash sketch

I lied.

My webcomic alter-ego Avery in a winter coat, which coincidentally looks a lot like mine in real life. I'm very creative.

ratigan the rat butler

My friends recently found a rat in their new apartment, which had been feeding off of the copious amounts of trash left behind by the former tenants (including a sandwich they found underneath the sink). Always turning lemons into lemonade, my friend told me that he would name it Ratigan and train it to be their butler, "complete with rat-sized tuxedo." So I drew this up for them.

long time no update

i've been way too busy lately. mainly working on boards and animation for an upcoming PBS web series. here's the trailer for it:



and here's the official website: http://www.pbskids.org/lunchlab. the episodes will begin to air on nov 16.

also been plugging away at the webcomic. aside from the weekly comics, i'm also working on a new site design so it looks slightly more professional and less like i crapped it out in a day. we have a ton of other ideas in mind, most of which will be slowly implemented over the course of the next year or so (merchandise, story arc ideas, more frequent updates, etc).

and just for the sake of posting something new, here's the b&w of the halloween comic i'm working on right now (the finished color version will be up on halloween):

asian girl

i noticed there are a lot of very trendy-looking asian girls in the city, especially around k-town. i'm not one of them. but this sketch was done with them in mind.

sasquatch designs

weird sea creatures

been a while since i last updated. the webcomic has been keeping me pretty busy, along with helping out on some freelance. but anyway, here are some quick sketches of sea creatures for a short i'm working on with some friends.

sully

we puppy-sat today for a pug named sullivan. i wanted to take him home.

lead paint comics triumphant return to the internet

just wanted to announce that mike and i finally uploaded our first new comic to our lead paint comics website (http://www.leadpaintcomics.com).

we've been working on this new batch of comics for about a year since we went on hiatus, so we're pretty excited to finally show what we've been doing. new comics will be up every monday, and we'll be slowly expanding/improving the site as we go.

while i'm not totally happy with the art yet, i think it looks a lot better than it did originally. it's pretty much a constant work in progress.
