The City on the Water- Concept Painting
Awe morning! Wow feels good NOT waking up at 2:00 am today! haha It’s been crazy here, been raining non-stop for a couple of weeks… Which i have to say, has put me in a perfect mood for painting. :) The painting today is one of the first i’ve done with my new water color set. I had a lot of fun layering on this one. This is just a concept painting for a story i’m working on with my brother. You honestly have no idea how excited i am to show & tell you the story… Hopefully soon ;) Well i hope you like the painting, and i hope you’re having a great day!

Lil Finn Character Development Sketch
Hey Friends, So today’s painting is the first of hopefully a lot more character Development Sketches. I’ve been working developing story ideas and trying to learn how to develop drawn characters. A little while back i stumbled on to the character model sheets for Pinocchio, and i was so inspired i though i would make some of my own. This was my first attempt at developing a character named “Lil Finn“. Though i like how this water color sketch turned out, it’s definitely not there yet. Still trying to get the hang of all this! But i really hope you like it! :) Oh lastly, I wrote you all a song this weekend! I think i will try to upload it for this Inspiration Friday! :) Hope you’re having a great day!

The Runaway Forest Concept Sketch
Well Good morning! How’s the day treating you? Well T Minus 8 days till my brother and i leave for NYC. There is still so So much to do… C’est la Vie ;) So my best friend since like i was in 3rd grade, Benje, arrived here last night. He has been living in Kenya for the last year or so. It’s been amazing catching up with him. So growing up, my brother David, Benje, my friend Sean, Ryan, and i have been best friends. And since we all have moved to different places and we are all doing different things now, we started a yearly tradition of doing a week (or weekend) vacation to catch up and relax. So tomorrow i will be leaving for that. Should be so much fun! I should have tons of pictures from the trip for yea ;) Ok Now for this sketch… You know how i’ve been saying i write music & write stories?

The sketch above is one of the first study/concept sketches i’ve done for the story. I really hope you like it! P.S.

Kathryn Beaumont
Hey Friends! So today is something a little different, i guess. I found this picture of Walt Disney’s muse Kathryn Beaumont. Kathryn is the voice and the model for the Character “Wendy” from “Peter Pan” and she is also “Alice” of “Alice and Wonderland”. So with that said, I found this picture of Kathryn Beaumont as a little girl in the movie “It Happened One Sunday”. She was so completely adorable, i did this little sketch of her. I really like how it turned out :) I hope you like it. Also, hope you’re having a great day! :)
Fairy Tale
Josette & The Black Hat
Hey hey hey! Happy thursday! How was your day? I’m so exhausted, but oh well, such is life. :) The Painting today is of a character named Josette from a Story I’m writing. I’ve been watching a lot of 1930s movies lately so i think that era’s style influenced this picture. … Those old movies were pure magic!
Oh, also I started on part of the final version of the animation. Yikes this might take a while… I’m shooting for the animation to be 40 seconds, which is going to be insanely time consuming, but i hope yawl will like the the final version :) Well, hope you all are having a great day.
