ALIEN GIRLS




Aliens and girls I should say. From the sketchbook. If you've ever seen my sketchbook it's all about visual regurgitation, and exploring and practicing. Being an artist I know that sometimes our ego gets in the way and keeps us from sharing our mistakes. I know alot of great artists who's sketchbooks are a bunch of beautiful finished drawings. I want to see the exploration and mistakes. Sometimes the journey is more exciting than the finish. I remember an illustrator in LA showed me his sketchbook, when I was a student, and it floored me. In it were a million ideas, all wonderful, he had an amazing mind as well as being an amazing artist! I also know a bunch of people who live in there sketches and are afraid to do finished pieces. All things are OK to do, as long as you are drawing. I want to walk the line between them and keep pushing ideas as well as finished pieces.

Man, those chicks are hot! Why can't I meet girls like that?

Step into my brain! These were for an idea I had for a piece that may or may not happen. I suggest everyone draw a creepy girl once at least. Love the character stuff on your blog.

Chris,

Yeah, I'm still at the joint. I hope Toronto isn't too bad for you all. Sorry to hear about The Wild. I didn't get a good feeling either, though I know we tried our best to help make it better. I hope to hear from you soon.
