Memory Sketches

I really miss Minnesota sometimes. Some people say they would go crazy if they ever lived in a small town and went to school in Bemidji. Part of that is true, but it's the people there that make it more than worth it. These are some memory sketches of my friends from back home.

New Furniture (and Artwork)!

My boss from Legoland dropped off some couches for our apartment the other day. The guy who used to own them is a character designer for the new Transformers and Spider-Man cartoon shows so that made the furniture that much cooler. Check it out! Our living room is actually starting to look like... a living room!

Here's some new art from my classes this term. I'm focusing on portraits the most and my figure drawing class. I'm also enjoying reading about other artists like Alphonse Mucha and Norman Rockwell. All very inspirational. That's all for now.

"Who Wears Short Shorts?"

Well, It's official. My dignity has been totally compromised at Legoland. As if the striped shirt wasn't goofy looking enough, the employees alternative to pants are short shorts and red socks. I tried it for one day and have to admit, they're really comfortable. But with comfortibility comes lack of respect (from your coworkers and guests.)

Here's some caricatures from the park.

On a side note, the drawing classes at Studio 2nd Street are going well. It's weird. Lately all I'm interested in is drawing and getting better. Girls usually cross my mind during the day, but not often. I'm really focused with what I'm doing and love learning with my teachers.

New photos from the land of Legos!

Kid with Chicklet teeth.

Wall Sample. We hang samples of our work on the wall for people to see what our work looks like.

This gag was used on last summer's Mad Magazine Spider-Man cover.

Drawing kids gets tricky after a while. With adults, it's easier for me to see different shapes and features. Babies are challenging if you're going after exaggeration.

Legoland Caricatures

I just wanted to let people know what I've been up to since moving to California. That's what this blog is ment for. Hope ya'll digs!

Here's some caricatures from the park.

There's a lot of requests from kids who want to be Jedi's in their pictures. This one was funny to me because after the drawing was finished I realized it looks like he's grabbing himself... woops.

I'll post more park sketches after spring break.
