Concept for a painting I'm working on about David versus Goliath. I've got a long way to go but it's been good practice using the Wacom tablet.

Illustration Friday: Surprise

2005-12-12T09:42:00.000-08:00

I'm surprised at how often I overlook the need of others because I'm too focused on myself.

Illustration Friday: Free

2005-11-20T21:52:00.000-08:00

All of us who draw, design, or do anything halfway artsy often get taken advantage of by "friends" who want a FREE drawing, logo, design, or whatever.

Judging

2005-11-15T13:32:00.000-08:00

Illustration for a bible lesson on Matthew 7:3-5
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

Illustration Friday: Black and White

2005-06-20T13:24:00.000-07:00

Here’s a black and white illustration that’s a little techy. This was for an instruction guide showing how to assemble the light bulb assembly on a microscope. Done in Illustrator.

Obese

2005-06-20T09:06:00.000-07:00

This is a color sketch I did in Painter 9 a few weeks ago when I started thinking about doing Illustration Friday. I never submitted it because it was unfinished and probably will always stay unfinished. It was a fun exercise though.

Illustration Friday: Digital

2005-06-04T23:00:00.000-07:00

I couldn’t wait until I got a digital mixer in high school so I could scratch and mix all my records.

Records??? That’s how we listened to music back in the day for those of you under the age of 25. They were these 12” vinyl discs that had grooves in them and…never mind. Look for them on the next episode of Antiques Roadshow.

Illustration Friday: Envy

2005-05-31T11:24:00.000-07:00

Computer Envy! That’s what you get when everybody in your department is designing on SUPERFAST and POWERFUL G5 computers and you’re still stuck on a snail powered G3. What's up with that?

Sea Monkey water sports.

Sketchbook Image

2005-05-16T10:22:00.000-07:00

Pen and ink sketch from my sketchbook last week. Trying to learn how to get the hang of that little instrument. I think I overworked this one while watching TV.

Lady Profile

2005-05-12T08:17:00.000-07:00

Haven’t been able to sketch on my own time for awhile so this is an illustration I recently did at work for an instruction guide. The media is Prismacolor pencils.

Robot Sculpt

2005-05-09T15:32:00.000-07:00

A preliminary sculpt for a toy that never materialized. It was a good exercise though.

Angelique

2005-04-07T15:53:00.000-07:00

Oil painting done of my wife Angelique when we took a trip to Santa Barbara. She inspired me to get back into painting.

Illustration Friday: Crowded

2005-03-27T18:30:00.000-08:00

Crowded is the way my wife keeps our closet with all of her clothes, shoes, and hats, so that I can’t fit any of my clothes inside.

Illustration Friday: Bloom

2005-03-22T08:28:00.000-08:00

The idea for this illustration is based upon a bible passage in Matthew 9:37-38. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

There are many people to reach for the Lord, but only a few people are actually working the harvest.

Self-Portrait

2005-03-13T20:46:00.000-08:00

Mixed media illustration. Guoache, Prismacolor pencils, airbrush, and a sponge. I learned the technique from a Thomas Blackshear tutorial in Step By Step magazine.

I always wanted to learn how to sculpt my own figures. This is my first attempt after taking a class under the instruction of John Brown.

Illustration Friday: Jazz

Satchmo, originally uploaded by dsadd.

What says Jazz more than Satchmo? Painting was done a little while ago but I couldn't help but to use it.

Patrick's Mural

2005-02-28T12:56:00.000-08:00

After much procrastination, my new little nephew's nursery mural is completed.

2005-02-22T15:06:00.000-08:00

This is my first entry into Illustration Friday. This week's theme is sorrow. Sorrow is when your MAC dies on you and you haven't backed-up for over a year!
