Peter's Tijuana Brass

Here's something I made for a Family Guy art show. It was a crazy idea, manipulating a toy of Peter Griffin, photographing it, then photoshopping it into thefamous Herb Alpert cover.

Red Car

Red Wine

This one is very significant because I began this one a long time ago when I considered myself a painter. Then I took a break and had an animation career. Seventeen years later I came back to it. I solved the problem I was having by changing the realistic deep red background into an abstract blueish background with designs drawn on it. Thank you John Singer Sergeant.

Bed Head

Kofi Annan

I'll try to make up my lag in posting by putting up three today. Enjoy!

Chumps

Its been a while. Lets see if anyone still visits my blog. This one's my old cat.

Mom

Here's one of my Mom -- in honor of Mother's Day! I cobbled it together from a black and white photo my father took with my vague memory of a wall pattern we grew up with.

Dad

Sorry it's been so long since last post, but I was busy okay? This is one I did of my Dad. It shows him in the old days in his dark room surrounded by pictures he took.

Sigur Ros

I guess I consider this painting ALMOST finished. There's a lot of characters so it takes longer than usual. And I'm learning that I don't like painting such tiny people with shaky hand. This one's a tribute to another of my fave bands - Sigur Ros from Iceland, a country that's supposed to have the greatest public educational system in the world.

Happy Home

Here's one of the first ones I did that seemed to strike a chord as being the "my style" that I was looking for. Tweaked yet realistic characters in a crooked yet believable universe. Painted in my parents' garage on the first summer after graduating art school.
