Brother's Restaurant OPENING!!!

So good news... my brother's restaurant, Root 174, is opening up this Tuesday (5-10)!!! He's an amazing chef and a strong supporter of local farmers and giving back to the community.

I was lucky enough to get to design his logo for him and I think it turned out pretty well. He even got a sweet sign made for the front of the building (check out below).  Check out www.root174.com for a sample menu and to read up on the restaurant and staff... site's a little rough, but I'll get it fixed up soon.

Also go "like" his facebook page if you want to show him support.
Thanks!!!

Have been super busy as of late, working on my brother's site, an iPad game, the cartoon pitch, two children's books, my full-time job, my demo reel, and some freelance work! Not complaining, it's definitely nice to be busy, but I'm exhausted!

Wish I could post some of the cool stuff I've been working on but it'll have to wait. Here's a couple sketches and a psychedelic diddy for ya!

 

The two above are sketches I did in the subway.

The two below are just me playing around with Sketchbook Pro's awesome symmetry tool. Sketchbook Pro is definitely worth the 100 bucks.

Private Superheroes!

Here's a couple of sketches I worked on on the train last week.
Also... been addicted to this track while at work. Also check out the singer's previous band Superheroes... Danish pop at it's best.

 Good day m'am

You're Lindsay Lohan!!!

Fun day today. On a video shoot where the Director's direction goes something like this. "Now you're looking deep into his eyes.. is this love? now puke a little. You're Lindsey Lohan! You're Lindsay Lohan! Now update your facebook status..."

I'm doing some of the graphic work for the pieces. I can't say much about at the moment, but when it's done and circulating I'll let you know.




Here's a sketch I did while on set (the disco dancer)
And a sketch I did when testing out the mirror tool in Sketchbook pro.

 

Goofing off at work...

We have a ping pong tournament at work. I suck at ping pong. I do not suck at smack talk.

This is my ping pong playing theme song.
 

Blog transforms to Sketches/Music/Cool Sh*t

Transforming the blog... will now be my sketches, any music I'm into at the moment, and cool sh*t.

Love this band. One of my favorite 90s shoegaze bands.


And here's a couple random, nonsensical sketches.
