Fairy Tale
Mr. Toastmeister
Wow, oh wow! It seems like yesterday that my friend Sophie Ward and i started planning out how her great story, “The Ginger Marmalade Toastmeister“, would look… I remember sitting at this amazing coffee shop in Santa Monica, huddling around rough thumbnail sketches, and brain storming all the little subtle touches we could add to it… aw i miss those days! I realized it was almost a year to the day since i started working on the book. And don’t worry, i will finish it really soon. That is my goal! i’m closing in on it. My friend Jason Jones hand wrote all the type for it! This picture is a little sneak peak of page 13 out of it. :) Let me know what you think!

Oh, thank you all for the nice comments! i’m really glad you like the prints. :) It really means alot! i mailed some off today. i’m in need of a little drawing break, to get my brain firing on all cylinders. So the painting today i tried something a little different. i just did a quick scribble sketch to try to capture the moment and emotion… i hope you like it! :)

Gemma and the Cello
Oh, how the Gemma and the Cello drawing makes me miss my good friend Sophie Ward. This was one of her old favorite paintings out of Volume 1 of the Character Sketchbook. I think it’s both of our goals to be able to play the cello some day. How amazing is the cello? This drawing is number 94 out of Vol. 1. How are you all doing? How are you enjoying all the Fashion Shows? Any of you excited about the NEW A CAMP ALBUM! Nina Persson is one of my all time favorite voices! i’m excited to be home painting tomorrow! Well, sorry for my random commentary! Woot, woot. Night/goodmorning!

Well friends, i’m sitting here yawning and thinking back on the day. It’s over for me, but for most of you, you’re getting up and your day is just beginning… i’m so ready for bed. Lately, i’ve been pretty tired, i think it’s normal, just been working hard. i bought a pile of wood yesterday to use as convases! i’m excited. Thanks for all the kind comments on the last post. I’m glad you like that picture. A lot of you wanted to see the full painting, so i decided to post a link to it.The drawing i posted today is an early drawing out of my Character Sketchbook. It’s wierd to think that drawing is from 2 years ago. haha. So funny looking back on all the drawings and notes! Well, i hope you like it! :) i’m off to bed.
Figure Drawing
Water Color and Figure Drawing
How are you all doing? Well, the post today is a water color sketch i did when i was practicing my figure drawing. The paint texture turned out pretty crazy. I try to keep my figure drawing off this site, but i couldn’t resist posting this one, so i just cropped it down. It is the first water color sketch i’ve done in a long while…. whatcha think?

Travels
The Baxley’s
Friday! woot woot. Today i had a relaxing day hanging with my friends Alice and Ryan. i was working, and they were working on putting together their wedding invitations, but a good half-n-hour later, we got side tracked dressing up is random costumes and making fake mustaches out of masking tape. We started taking pictures and then we ended up getting coffee and wandering around. It was quiet a fun day!
