Strawberry Shortcake card design


I did this graphic approach to the Strawberry Shortcake character for a Licensing show greeting card. The original design was much more cartoony, but I went with more of a sophisticated look for a change. I really don't do a lot of graphic illustrations, but this worked. A bunch of other talented artists did their take on other characters like Madballs and Sushi Pack for greeting cards as well. I will add links to their art whenever they upload them to the web.



This month (actually last month) I've been reading the bio on Walt Disney. AMAZING book. I strongly recommend this read. I also stumbled upon this rare gem called "The adventures of Isabel". I usually check out books to read to my kids from the library and I lucked up on this find. I really enjoy kids storybooks. This one had a really cool old school limited color palette. The story was pretty strange too. The little Isabel nibbled on a one eyed giant who was going to grind her bones into bread. Afterwards she beheaded him with a pair of scissors (no lie)

I GOT JUICE !



These 2 images have been floating on my computer for quite sometime unfinished. I actually made an effort to finish them up finally. These characters stemmed from my first college sketchbook years ago and eventually turned into cool concept of mine. The pink bunny (BETA) is our hero who fights off these red hooded trouble making CREEPS who like to multiply and trash everything.

Tek1 Robot/ SUSHI PACK GAME!!!!

This is a robot illustration from one of my properties that I'm using for Channel Frederator's awards booklet. The theme was "Robots in metropolis"




If you like Sushi and enjoy playing games online, you should definitely click over and play The NEW SUSHI PACK "Beat the Heat" game. I illustrated all of the character art for the talented Mr. Brian Emling who concept and put the game together. I don't play many games online, but this one is loads of addictive gaming fun. Click on the "Beat the Heat" banner to the right and check it out. Lemme know what you think. Let the kiddies play and explore the Sushi Pack webpage.


I also did this illustration and logo above as well.

SPACEMEN & PUSSYCATS


I draw these blocky headed characters from time to time and friends seem to like them. So I'm thinking of doing a series of paintings with them. As a theme I somehow thought that they would look cool with Spacesuits. Then I saw my cat curled up sleeping on my bench and thought how peaceful she was and how I would love to take her on a space exploration. So now I'm going to include pussycats with fur painted to represent each planet's colors in our solar system. This is my first page of many conceptual sketches to choose each painting. Feel free to lemme know which ones you like the most as I post to help me choose which ones I'm going to paint.


More sketches.
