Chrono Trigger Kali!

Merry Belated Christmas everybody!

Here's a Chrono Trigger-Christmas print I illustrated for my good friends Kali, Nico, Jack, Tara, Myke and Matt. I drew them (and myself) as each of the main cast of the game, my favorite game ever, as well as some of theirs!

Have an awesome weekend and a Happy New Year!

Warmups from work

I found these story-warmups earlier today...I think I did them in September? August? Something I started but, as you can see, didn't keep it up for very long. :P

The only thing I can remember about 'em is I had one song per picture I'd just listen to on repeat til the picture was done. And also, to anyone who's curious, doing full-color pieces in ToonBoom Storyboard Pro?...huge hassle, but it can pay off!

"Who's Theme" by Minmi

"Old Soul Song (For the New World Order)" by Bright Eyes (particularly everything after 2:40)

"Electricity" by The Avalanches


Should I continue doing these? I should. :)

One Thing at a Time!

A month ago, I posted inks to a new comic I'm doing - more specifically, a short I'm doing for Zac Gorman's upcoming FFIX zine, "The Tantalus Theater Review!" Following some big deadlines at work, I'm happy to be jumping back into color. Here are the same panels I posted as B&W inks way back...


And a bonus panel!:
The story should be totally done by Christmas - as for the zine itself, that's TBA! :)

"What If..." at Gallery Nucleus

This is as last minute as a gets buuuut...an announcement!

Tonight I have a piece hanging in the "What If...?" show at Gallery Nucleus, my favorite gallery! This is the first time I'll be featured here so I'm really excited...

Here's a little preview of the piece (on my kitchen counter, ooh-la-la):


Hope to see you there!

Sketchdump!

The Americana, 11/30/11

Went out sketching with Steph, Megan, Jackie, Kat, Davin, Te, and Tom. The little casual group we started just a few weeks back has really grown quickly!
Wow, it's December already!

Out sketching ...and something amazing!

Steph & I have started joining a couple old college friends for sketching around the Burbank area Wednesday nights. Here's a few from yesterday:

Poor Steph had a headache!

And also...something amazzzzzing arrived in the mail today that I've been waiting a long time for. It's a good thing I had my camera ready the exact moment I opened the package for some reason!
What is it? Uhhh...I dunno...but It's a secret though, so you'll have to wait and see...

See you at CTN! Saturday! Can't wait!

Back from the graaave...

Been a while since an update! Been making lots of stuff lately, despite the dust collecting here, so I thought I'd leave this here...

These are a couple panels from a new comic for this thingie I'm working on - so so excited to finish and show everybody!
More details, images, and just plain new stuff to show soon!

A quick sketch for something new that I'll (hopefully) finish...
