Happy Halloween!

I'm the ghost with the most, babe.



More pics and art to come in my annual post Halloween post--Stay tuned!

Coop Kaplan: the Last Reporter

This was a lot of fun. More pictures to come shortly...

Chatty Kathy...err...Kevin

So recently I've been obsessed with Kevin Pollak's Chat Show. For those of you who don't know, Kevin Pollak is a fine comedian and actor who's been in such films as A Few Good Men, The Usual Suspects, and some other crap. He's got a great little online chat show where he interviews actors and comedians--getting to the very core of who they are and why they're doing...what they do...I guess...It's pretty much 2 hour interviews of Kevin and whoever chatting, joking, and bullshitting. Needless to say--Hilarious.

Anyway, unlike most celebrity-kiss-ass-talk-shows, Kevin's approach is very genuine and down to earth which makes for a very enjoyable experience. Not to mention the actors and comedians he interviews are of a rare and humble breed--much unlike your typical god-complex-celebrities.

Check out the archive if you've got some hours to kill. Or check out a live show every Sunday.

Muwahaha

Halloweens a'comin'...

Call It the Day

Ok, so maybe I fibbed a bit in my last post. This isn't a Bunnypuss update and it certainly isn't next week. HOWEVER...I do have a few quick doodles that are worthy of an update:




I'd also like to take this opportunity to welcome an incredibly talented artist and friend, Matt Synowicz, to the Ideology Product Development Team. Matt is our newest designer and will be helping me conceptualize and design all that is TOY. Let's hope he fares better than our previous toy designer did...

(We ate him)

Friday Fever!

There's a fun Friday sketch. Next week: The Bunnapuss Update. Stay tuned ;).

Gettin' Closah

Tirades, Trades 'n Babes

Monday was definitely one of those days. But even bad days can harbor good things. Monday I completed a trade with my friend and fellow artist, Luis Mario Sarmiento. He agreed to give his rendition of Rodney and I was asked to illustrate my interpenetration of his own original character, Lucy. I'm very happy with how it came out.





If you're a fan of Luis' work like I am, his DeviantArt page is full of fantastic original characters, illustrations, and comics. He also updates a weekly webcomic featuring his two original characters, Seth and Poncho. Check it out.

As for me, I've been busy working my life away as usual. My friend from work mentioned to me a few weeks ago that we should get a design together and try to make some vinyl figures. I of course jumped at the opportunity.




Behold the Bunnapuss! Half bunny and half Octopuss brought together by pure love...and a staple gun! He's currently being sculpted in 3D by yours truly. And who knows...if I can get the hang of molding and casting you all might see some more vinyl figures down the way...

Maybe ;).

Think of Me as a Friend.

I've got Nintendo on the brain and I can't quit it. Maybe I'll try some Conker fan art before I run outta steam.



Oh skull kid. You're like a mischievous little monkey...who's made of wood...8|

While I add a few more Zelda characters to my collection, I'll keep plugging away at this monster of a piece.

The Haunting of Donut Plains

I feel like it's been forever since I posted some process images. So in honor of the 3DS being released just last week, I decided to sketch something Mario related. I came up with this:



A little messy, I'll admit, but I'm incredibly happy with how this piece is turning out. Check back later for more progress shots while I finish it.

On a side note, you may have noticed I've FINALLY gotten around to posting a few buttons linking to my Facebook and my Deviant Art page. So if any of you creeps feel like connecting with me on another site...well...now's your chance!

Fun Sketch Wednesday

Kooloo-Limpah!

Well that creative funk didn't last as long as I thought it would, thankfully.

Thanks to the Wii, I've been able to play through a lot of my old GameCube games and relive a lot of memories from the mid-2000's. In doing so, I was inspired to create some fan art for one of my favorite GC titles:



The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was such a fantastic addition to the LoZ series. Good story telling, colorful characters, and challenging game play all blended together perfectly in this new cell shaded water-filled world of Hyrule. Best of all, it continued the Zelda Universe's storyline and even brought back some of my favorite characters from previous LoZ titles.



No, not him.

Das Funk

I've been in a funk now (as far as 2D work goes) since about the middle of January and it's really getting to me. I'll draw more once I'm less pissed off.


And now for some good news! I'm going to post every Wednesday now try really really hard to post something new every Wednesday. Hopefully that will break me out of this rut.

And all I have is my work

These past few months have been full of work. Most importantly of all that work, is this 3D model right here:







And with that 3D information, a rapid prototyped figure was printed:



Maybe someday if I ever get the money I'll get that casted and maybe have some vinyls made. Until then, that 5" figure is on it's way to Toy Fair in New York. Ideology has a booth again this year :O
