I’ve been commisioned to make a Ghostbusters piece by someone who missed out on my auction for “Hey You Guys!”
Here is a sneak peak!
My first series of my chibi Street Fighters! They were very fun to design. You’ll get 8 for $10.
Yes! I was lucky enough to be invited to submit a piece of art into the HEY YOU GUYS! auction. I’m gunna go ahead and call this my first LA art show. Pretty cool considering its in Pasadena and there’s a screening of ghostbusters going on. There are some really great pieces so please if you don’t feel like bidding on my GHO-STB-UST-ERS set, consider the rest of them, it’s for a good cause, ART SUPPLIES for schools!
as a huge fan of art, ive always been fascinated with how a piece is imagined and then created. Norman Rockwell for instance, has some serious stuff! ive been a huge fan of his my whole life but i just could not fathom how he could just paint like that. until one day i found a used $2 normal rockwell book at the library for sale. it wasn’t just his art, it was his process! this changed the way i did everything, because, foolishly, i had never sketched anything out before actually going to the canvas. Rockwell had various intricate studies on composition, color, and shadow. since then, i’ve always made sure to do a study. i can’t believe i was never taught this.
anyhow. the first pic is what i found in my sketchbook the morning after a pretty crazy party. i had no recollection of drawing this! it was a good party! well, i started laughing instantly. and asked my roommate how this appeared in my sketchbook. she told the story and i was so amused i realized i could go much further than batman and spiderman. these compare nothing to rockwells of course, but still i think its cool to see them in scribble form too so off to the sketches!!
studies for super emos cir. 2009
of course there were other characters in there, but you’ll have to wait for series 2 to see those!
hope that was interesting!

I’ve been obsessed with religious artwork for the past year and now its time to make my own.
SOLD OUT
Thanks to everyone you was part of this. besides yknow…those guys in NY. Hopefully we can work together in the future.
My Sharpie marker dried out during my UGTL4 live art set and I had to resort to the black watercolor to do my outlining. Quite frankly, I thought it looked horrible. It just wasn’t black enough, so I decided to take a crack at sumi ink. I had been wanting to use it since Okami came out, the way it is used in the design of this game is gorgeous. So i picked up a small green bottle of “ready made” sumi ink at blick and a cheapo brush (though after this first experience, would prefer a better one) and went home and painted a blanka! I really enjoyed it and I’m eager to do the next one soon.
Wild Thing Inspired Buttons
They look awesome!! I was strangly introduced to a button maker here in LA while I was in the middle of designing some Wild Things to coincide with the release of the film. Yknow, I wanted to be part of the uprawr and as soon as I knew I had access to a button maker I sent in my designs and placed an order. These buttons not only look great but they’re my first “real” product in a soon to be long line of designs. They sold out completely in 3 days and I’m working on replenishing my stock and even getting them into online shops. Send me an email if you are interested in a set.
