Beeconomic Hits The Philippines

Here's the video that is now catered to the Philippines (you can see the original here). I had to change some of the artwork such as changing skydiving to wakeboarding since they don't have skydiving in the Philippines, and give Buzzter a Filipino flag and the amazing Eugene Yow animated the changes under a very short deadline. I suggested to them that we do a Jeepney and they liked the idea, so there it is in the end!

Inking Mandi-Rigma

Click on image to enlarge
I like how this came out inked. I had to scan it in 2 parts and piece them together in photoshop because the our scanner is only for 8.5" x 11", this piece was done on Bristol 11"x14". The pencils were pretty messy. SR is going to watercolor this sometime after finals. It was inked with micron pens and brush. This was a going away present for Mike, but it looks like it is turning into a project. Hopefully by the time he gets back in June we will have a nice piece for him. Next step is going to be coloring a comp for SR studios. My inspirations for this were 70-80's cartoons by Filmation, Ruby Spears, like Tarzan Lrod of the Jungle, Thundarr The Barbarian, Blackstar, Bravestarr....

Drawing Mandi-Rigma

Here is a piece I did for Mike. I asked if he wanted a Nightwing piece or something but he wanted anything to do with my Filipino/Lapu-Lapu/ character. I was also talking to Jay about 80's cartoons, so I came up with an 80's cartoon that I would have liked to have seen.

Give the galaxy for Christmas!

OrbiTee is a t-shirt i had the pleasure of working on. Here is the official website where you can order these nifty educational shirts.

http://beyondadornment.com/

The basic concept of the OrbiTee is visual representation of the position and tilt of the earth during certain times of the year, in regards to the sun. These parameters determine the seasons, and amount of daylight we humans get. Since the sun is in the middle of the shirt, it show that the earth revolves around you...

Birthday Commission

click image to enlarge
This was a Commissioned work which I believe the client liked. She asked to do something with her nephew and Where the Wild things Are which was illustrated and written by the great Maurice Sendak. I was glad since I own a copy of this book. I came up with this. She supplied a couple of photos and there was one that was perfect which I used for the face. This is drawn from on Bristol with pencil then I actually inked it THEN watercolored it.
