Pico Canyon Hike

Earlier this month, I went on a bike/hike trip with some CalArts friends to the Pico Canyon hiking trail. It was a good 16 mile round trip, and very pretty. I did some thumbnail paintings based on the field sketches...

Bagpipes of the World

Recently, I was researching bagpipes on the internet, and it's cool to see all the different variations.

Living Room Ninja

A gag sketch I drew in a life drawing class from a few weeks ago. Beware the Living Room Ninja!

Pine folk

 Some pine folk rafting to a family reunion 

 The landscapes were adaptations from sketches I did at the Dustin nature preserve back by my house., then made the story when I got back to CalArts.

The Boxcar Brothers

An idea I came up with, trying out the Bill Peet style.  Maybe it'll turn out to be portfolio material if it's boarded...

Mount Diablo Hike

 Being home for Christmas, I have the time to sort through things from 2012, including some sketches I did in November on Mount Diablo. I went up to see family and hike the Falls Trail on the north side of the mountain, where there were indeed a number of recognizable 'waterfalls' near the riverbed.

 Really pretty 8 mile hike, I drew these pictures on the trail, and then colored them back at school...

Midwestern Christmas

I made it back from another great semester at CalArts to spend the holidays in Indiana. I'm always excited to come home to be with friends and family, walk the old woods again, hopefully ice skate on the lake, which just froze overnight.

A merry, Ent-ish Christmas from the MidWest
