Puddlecutters!

Man I totally forgot about this drawing till I stumbled across it searching for something else! What a nice surprise! A couple summers ago a couple buddies of mine wanted to buy mopeds, chop them, and start a moped gang. I thought it was a funny idea and quickly scribbled up this Roth-inspired mascot for the Puddlecutters! (I think I'll stick to riding my Silverado rather than the downgrade to a tiny bike... sorry guys.)

Some New Art for Art's Sake

While waiting for a render at work the other day I decided to get out my pencil pouch and do some doodling. I ended up with a nice little superhero character and decided to clean him up this weekend in illustrator and photoshop. Check him out!

My Old Biz Card!

I was just doing a little housekeeping here on my blog and realized I hadn't posted the illustration I did for my (now defunct) business card. Yeah - I'm not actively tattooing right now but the illustration I did for this card should not go to waste!

Starting a New Chapter

I'm not sure if I should really call it "starting a new chapter" or more appropriately "picking up where i left off"... either way - it's a change for the better! I've decided to switch gears and get back to my true love - character animation!!! Yep - for anyone who knows me, this won't be a surprise. I'm currently gearing up to start classes at AnimationMentor.com beginning in March, and from here on out, my blog posts will largely be illustration work, animation work, and stuff of that general flavor. I hope you stick around to see some of the exciting work I put out over the coming years... it's been a long time comin' and I'm pumped and ready to really get back to what I love!

Check out AnimationMentor.com to see the AMAZING work their students are cranking out in the student showcase reels!

Happy Birthday, Zoe!

Zoe's 15! Happy Bday, Zoe! (I think she likes it!)

An Oldie But A Goodie

I've got this one hanging in the shop - but I like it a lot and referenced it to a buddy of mine today so I figured I'd post it for anyone who hasn't seen it. (Meant to post it a while back but guess I didn't!) It was a voting poster I did during my first tour and Real Art and prob my favorite print piece I've done to date. I think it hung in GM buildings in the Dayton area around voting time but I apologize - I don't remember who the client was! (Oh well..)

Hope you like.

NEW! Handmade Custom Wooden Characters

I started making custom wooden characters for friends and family this winter! I'm really happy with how these little guys have turned out. I attach the head and arms with simple small dowel rods so the arms and head can move/turn. For Ryan's - I also included some finer detail with the little tattoos peeking out of his sleeves. I dig these guys a lot and plan on making a bunch more! (Contact me if you would like to have a one-of-a-kind wooden fella made just for you.)
