FRIDAY ART: Take that television!!

Friday, May 29th, 2009

I made this comic strip today. To make it look like I wasn’t showing you guys ANOTHER undeveloped sketch I gave it this sweet old vignette look. Did I fool ya? I may just develop this and submit it to some comic strip jury somewhere… or… I may just forget.

Make more, consume less.

Also, I’ve been pretty busy but have finished a few more sheets of letters I’ll post them when I get a chance. For now check out my buddy Ramsey’s sweet lettering here. If that’s not enough check out this sweet pinstripe lettering action by House Industries. THAT is how lettering is done. Happy Friday!!

I designed this t-shirt for Mondo Tees recently. Pick one up at Alamo Drafthouse this weekend for the premier of this wonderful movie.

Please excuse the quality of this picture.

FRIDAY ART: To the alley

Here’s a drawing I did today. I want to actually develop this one. I just got some new gouache paints that I’m really excited to use so we’ll see how that goes.

26 Letters – Day 1

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

On Wednesday I brought home all A’s!! I’m trying to practice my lettering skills. I’ve decided to hand draw every letter of the alphabet, doing one sheet a day and one letter a day for 26 days.  Here’s the first sheet that I made.

Horses with Horns

Friday, May 8th, 2009

The girls and I were checking out some art the other day at Art House. Here is my favorite piece of the high school exhibit. I wish I’d noted the artists name.

We were getting ready to leave when we stumbled into the back room where we learned a band was going to be playing in a short matter of time. The band was called Horses with Horns. Chamila LOVED this group and I think it was because the singer was a young girl just a couple years older than she was and their songs were about unicorns, playing, and other things little girls are into. To be honest I loved them too. I guess that makes me a little girl.

Brother and sister.

Chamila, Giselle, and I have been working on songs and I think this show really inspired Chamila. Maybe we’ll play shows with Horses with Horns some day.

FRIDAY ART: Birdwhale Stickers

Friday, May 8th, 2009

I SHOULD be posting stuff I do everyday, but I’m not. Hopefully this new “Friday Art” thing will get me to post more. My buddy Daniel gave me these post office labels and I drew on them… Now I will beautify the city with them.

Ariel Erestingcol’s Cewebrities Show

Friday, May 1st, 2009

CEWEBRITIES

My buddy Ariel Erestingcol just had an art show in Los Angeles. Ariel is a unique dude with tons of creativity and awesome theories about art and beyond. I wish I could have made it out to his opening but I could not. So, really, I can’t write about his show. However, the great Arlo Eisenberg, creator of streetwear line GOST , gives a great little review right over here.

And for his subject matter he chose people (and animals) who have achieved some measure of fame, dubious or otherwise, through the internet.  Hence the name of the show, “CeWEBrities.”

Congratulations Ariel. The work looks great! The show runs through May 30th at the Sabina Lee Gallery.
