digital painting

This was kind of Bob Peak inspired with a little sci-fi twist. I still marvel at those 1970′s ads he did. Sketched and painted via Photoshop and a Wacom Cintiq 21UX.

Bowler hats are cool. So are the guys that wear them.

I’d rather it be Halloween hence the Zombie-Bunny.  I guess the candy will tide me over…..

The typical view most days on my way home on the 101 freeway. Nothing like a warm meal and time with the family….

Late last night I was doing some last minute surfing on my Modbook while flipping channels on television and happened on the classic P.T. Anderson movie HARD EIGHT. Philip Baker Hall is one of my favorite actors and he is especially good in this one. (Probably his best performance to date)

I paused my DVR just as he struck this pose, lighting a cigarette late in the film just as he is about to meet the character played by Samuel L. Jackson. It’s kind of noir-ish and really dramatic and inspired me to do a quick painting. (Well, it took about an hour so it’s not so quick)

Consequently, “Tivo Sketcthing” as I call it is a great way to do costumed gesture drawing if you can’t do it in class. Just pause and draw. Talk about making technology work for you…..
