moleskin 2

here are some more sketches from my moleskin.

her name is erin. the purple hair makes her look like paramore. 2 sittings.

her name is daniella. i wasn't planning on painting so i didn't bring my paint set. but when i saw the model i wanted to run to the art store and buy some paint. such a great model to work with. again 2 sittings.

quick head study.

here's my contribution to the hi fructose show at copro.

cattaragus

this is a commish for damian over at rolling stone. im hoping that they'll hang it in the center of the office, so every time they're in need of an illustrator i'll be all in there grill. this is a portrait of his girl. in every picture he sent me she was making a cat pose, so i painted her with her cat and a cat woman figurine.


aslo i found out how breakdancing made it's way to cambodia. it's great to see someone being deported able to make a positive impact elsewhere. we are 40 years late........... they should have deported kk earlier:)

ranscape

recently i've been painting quick landscapes on my spare time. I was exicted to get call for me to illustrate a landscape with no figures! I've never did something like that, but i figured all these quick landscapes studies i've been doing would help me out.


the art director told me to add some last minute changes.


in other news my friend julienne hsu got her mfa. she's the first person out of my graduating class to get her mfa. im really proud of her!

lyfer

this illustration is about new life. the art director wanted me to illustrate synthetic generation of life.
this is what i came up with.


in an unrelated story. usually when you hear about cambodians on the news it usually evolves around the starting of trg or asian boys. peap sent me this news clip of him in action. it's great to see positive stuff like this on the news. you might remember his stuff on hi fructose 7.

moley moley

these sketches from my trip to cambodia. my goal was to fill up the whole moleskin while in asia, but there was just to much things to see. sadly this is all i painted while over there.





also did a quick video. going to send it to my sis to get it souped up.
