heart-shaped box

i recently finished a little " x 6" painting as a valentines gift. im getting into these smaller canvases for now, because its nice that i can knock them out pretty quickly!

anyway, i made a dirty "process" GIF, rather than posting all the process photos, so here it is...



So there it is. i think it turned out sweet

thanks!

fire under the butt

hello loyal followers. i said hello loyal followers!

after much wasted time, empty promises (to myself) to work harder on personal projects, i met up with my good buddy Casey Hirai for an awesome sketching field trip. we went to Father's Office in west los angeles for some great sketching time, some intimate conversation and some good beer.

so, i wanted to share with you some photos from this fantastic outing...


first, i did a little thumbnail for a MegaMan painting...


then got it down on the wood panel I want to paint...


side by side...



Then an Indiana Jones sketch...might turn this one into a digital rendering. might not.



then, casey and i decided to do a little collaboration sketch, so i boned up on my Transformer sketching...


and finally, our collaboration. Casey drew up this awesome Cliffjumper on the bottom, and I jumped in with my Starscream/Skywarp up top. i love the different styles side-by-side...



freakin great day drawing with a great friend and awesome artist. it was nice to bounce some ideas off eachother, and to produce a satisfying amount of work in just a few hours. we're talking about putting together a collaboration sketchbook sometime this year. and, we plan to make this a weekly event. gotta keep those promises...

thanks
PAUL
