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:

RIP, brave bearers of the crimson uniform.

Hourly Comics!

This was my first time trying this, and it was pretty fun! Warning: ugly drawings ahead. This is my drawing in its purest form haha, straight from my head to my pen. I was going to just jot them down in my sketchbook and redo them later, but I have no time :(

(I suggest just clicking through them with the blogger's lightbox feature, some of them are tiny)

 

 

 

 

 

Check out these other fantastic hourly comics! :)

Batmerns!

 

Sorry to spam the internets with this, but check out my friends' nifty new batman blog! More batman is always good!

Also I did these as part of my effort to get in 20 minutes of warmup every day...I'll be posting those on my tumblr...let's how long I can keep it up! More soon (life is crazy busy right now)!

The Eye Camera

Do you ever have those times when you look up or around you and you see something like this?:

"Whooaaa..." 

"I gotta get a picture of this"

"What the hell?!"

"This picture is a total turd! The colors are all off!" 

dangit.

It always happens! I want to capture an amazing sight but pictures never do it justice. So I thought...

wouldn't it be nice... 

...if our eyes were cameras...? 

What we see with our eyes would be exactly what we get in the pictures....the vibrancy of the colors, the spectacular lighting, the subtle shadows...

When you see something that just needs to be captured --

all you would have to do to take a picture is blink and

*CLICK*

And it doesn't mean you have to sacrifice other typical camera functions, such as:

 

 

   

Now, the one thing I haven't quite figured out was how to actually get physical copies of these photos. But I imagine it might go something like this: 

 
PS Happy Thanksgiving!! :)
