Beam me up!

"Safety in Numbers"

Hey guys! I made a piece for the "Beam Me Up: Star Trek Art Show", opening tomorrow 7PM @ Qpop in Little Tokyo. Truthfully I haven't watched much of the show, but I know that it's campy and awesome and that a red shirt usually means bad news for its wearer. So I just did a little something simple :) Some process shots below!

Also, I tried to use actual redshirts, so here's a little reference chart:

 

you can read about how they died here!

RIP, brave bearers of the crimson uniform.

a couple of paintings!

I did a couple of pieces for the Pencil Mileage Club's student/alumni gallery. The show opens tomorrow night at CSU Fullerton, everyone is welcome! :)

I always thought some of the collective names for animal groups were rather odd and cute, so I decided to take them literally. I'm sure this has been done before, but it was fun for little paintings.

 

both are watercolor...i need to practice more :(

See you there! (traffic permitting...D:)

08 Shark week! -- Great hammerhead

Huzzah! It's shark week!! So...every year when this blessed event happens, artists unite to draw these magnificent creatures all week. First up is the Great Hammerhead!

I tried doing some watercolor sharks first, but they turned out so awfully that I gave up and did the rest in photoshop. The paper just didn't agree with me, but I put them up anyway.
