Wanted to redo an old piece of art that I used to really like. The top is the new lines of the redesign of the bottom image. 2010 - 2012 It'll be fun finishing her up.

All inked and ready to go out. Both envelopes go to the JET office, but they mail back the confirmation card in the business envelope. Had fun sticking to just black and white this year.

envelope designs

Thought I'd post last years envelopes, and this years in process envelopes online to show people that I am still alive. The colored ones are from last year, while this years will be inked in black with possibly a light wash on them. These were all done for the JET program. I was wait listed last year, and hope that this year I will get to go. Here's the link to the US page if you want more information on it. http://www.us.emb-japan.go.jp/JET/index.html

This is one of the sketches for a project that I'm working on. Not entirely happy with the pile of snowballs on the girls side yet, but I do like the overlap of the girl in the back. May make the pile a little less neat. Constructive criticism is always welcome.

Some t-shirt designs for the kids at the dojo I attend. The kanji says budo which basically means martial arts.

Thinking I might use this for the image on the about me portion of my website.

Christmas Pin Up 2012

Season's Greetings

Couldn't decide which background I liked better.

Paintings for a new project

This is what I wanted to be doing today, except I think if I really tried to cartwheel that it would look even more clumsy.

As you can tell, I spent a good deal of my time this weekend in front of my computer. Here are two monster pin up girls that I was playing around with.

Tried something a little different today. Also got a new brush pen to play with. Expect to see more of these rough sketches in the future. Thinking about making the daily sketches more about situation and what's happening in my daily life then about the clothing.

Day 46, 47, & 48

The last 3 days. October 6, 4, & 5

Day 45

Day 44

Was trying to go with a full tummy look, but it isn't reading as clearly as I wanted it to. Also I am so far behind on clean up, that I'm not sure I will be able to clean all of them up. If there are any in particular that people like I'll start with them.

Day 44

Day 43

Day 42

Not exactly the happiest with this sketch, but all can be fixed in the clean up phase.

Day 41

Day 40

I swear I wasn't in a sad mood today. Don't really know where the idea for this sketch came from.

Day 39

Day 38

Finish for Day 35, 18 & 16

Tried something a little different for August 30. Kept the colors really simple and did a simple ink line in Photoshop. Think I may stick with the other method though.

Day 37
