Kitty Avengers Assemble

A lot of my students at LA's Best love Hello Kitty.  I decided to create this illustration of the Avengers in the style of Hello Kitty.  I made it as a print and gave it to my students on my last day of work.  I plan on adding Hawkeye and Black Widow to the group soon. 

The Lost Man

Sketched Wolverine recently.  I wanted to draw him looking more like an a beast or animal living in the wild.  Always one of my favorite superheroes.  

Sahab - Scarecrow

One of the most talented people I know is my friend, Sahab.  His album, "Scarecrow," is one of my favorites to listen to while I draw.  This is a illustration of Sahab I drew awhile back.  I decided to color it and throw a sketch of his cat in there with him.  You can check out Sahab's album on itunes.

Brian McGee

One of the most hard working and driven people I know is my friend Brian McGee.  This guy is an extremely talented photographer.  Here are a couple illustrations I did for him.  One is a chibi character and the other a head drawing.  If you get a chance check out his work.

Club Life

My good friends Nick and Liz in my chibi style.  If anyone knows how to party, these two do!  A lot of artwork coming soon!

Does What A Spider Can!

Had a lot of fun drawing Spider-Man and trying to push his lean anatomy.  

Practice

I have been practicing my figure drawing and have been lucky enough to get some extra tips and pointers from my old professor and mentor, Ken Jones.  I feel like I hang on every word when he speaks! haha Here are some of the latest poses you would find in my sketch pad.  

Chibi Chiho

I recently have been reading the Wizard of Oz graphic novels drawn by Skottie Young.  He has always been one of my favorite artists and his artwork in those books has inspired me once again.  My girlfriend has been wanting me to draw her as a chibi character for awhile now so I came out with this sketch.  

The Last ISO

Tron: Legacy is one of my favorite movies. I've been drawing a lot of characters from the movie and decided to finalize Quorra. I am thinking about finalizing more characters up next. Everything was finalized in illustrator.  

Hero Sketches

These are some quick sketches I've done for my students while I was helping them with their homework.  I feel like I am able to draw a bit more loose since I'm more rushed for time when I'm at work.  I don't tend to really erase anything and everything is drawn with no reference.  I have fun drawing heroes for the kids.  

Bathroom Break

A friend asked me to draw Iron Man chibi style after seeing my Green Lantern. I came up with this little guy. Looks like poor lil' Iron Man needs a time out for a bathroom break.

The Ring Pop of Will Power

I wanted to draw Green Lantern with a ring pop as his ring of power. So I decided to draw him in a more chibi-like style to fit the ring pop theme.  It was a fun little illustration.  More artwork coming soon.  

Ano sa! Ano sa!

I have never watched any of the Naruto cartoon but I have always heard a lot about it.  I recently subscribed to Netflix and began watching Naruto from the first episode.  I love it so far!  Thats how this fun little illustration came about.  This is me if I were around in the Naruto cartoon universe.

Boku no Naruto shashin o mite!

Troublemakers

Halloween is just days away and I am pretty excited.  I have been watching scary movies all month and have been working on this illustration.  The image consists of some of my favorite creepy characters I've enjoyed watching throughout my lifetime.  Can you find my logo hidden somewhere in there? There are even more monsters I wish I could of added but I am running low on time.  Where's the DeLorean when you need it?!?!  Happy Halloween

Can you hear me now???

I always think back when I was a little kid and there were no cell phones.  If you were on a road trip and needed to call someone you would have to pull over and find one of these.  A phone booth! I recreated this old London style phone booth in illustrator and replaced him in a real life environment.  Something different from my usual character designs.  Lots more art coming next week!

Miggy Chibi

I recently needed a design for a dance workshop flyer that I would be teaching at.  I decided to mix things up a bit.  Instead of using a real pic of myself I drew myself, chibi style.  For those of you who are not familiar with this style it is based off of Japanese anime/manga characters.  "Chibi" characters are often used to represent a form of cuteness by drawing bodies smaller and heads larger. I got inspired to draw chibi characters by looking at Sean "Cheeks" Galloway's art.  With that said I give you my first attempt at drawing myself, "chibi" style.

the Lost Jabba

What if there was a story about a jabbawockee that got left behind and forgotten?   Before all the fame and fortune.  What if he secluded himself in the woods far away from everyone? All he did was train in all styles of dance.  As time went by he found himself becoming not only one with the music but also one with the woods that surrounded him.  I give you, the Lost Jabba.

Everybody Dance Now!

Here is a dance reel I put together with the help of my buddy Keenan.  It is being shown around Arizona right now where I may possibly be teaching a couple workshops in the near future.  Hope you enjoy it!

So I Think I Can Dance

Here are two links to some of my latest dance videos on youtube.  The first link is one of myself and student/friend Keenan Lipari-Hassett(K-Tron) groovin' to Scarecrow by Sahab.  The second is my routine to Up All Night by Drake.  Hope you enjoy them and more artwork coming soon!

Up All Night Routine

Cheeks Art Contest!

Here is my entry for an art contest being held by one of my favorite artists, Sean "Cheeks" Galloway.  Contestants had to draw something from one of his creative character universes.  I choose this guy named Pierre aka Number 2.  It was a lot of fun.  Check back soon for more dance videos and art.
