Joker Concept Sketch

This is an old character study I did a while back of the Joker. I was satisfied with Heath Ledger's skill as an actor, but I wasn't impressed with how they wrote the character of the Joker in the latest movie. This guy right here is a little more like it. Maybe I'll keep developing him as time goes by.

Dia de Las Madres

This is a scanned image of a portrait I worked on for a friend. This was a gift for her mother. I appologize for the poor quality of the scanned image. Most of the piece was done in water colors and the values weren't captured by the scanner I was using.

¡Feliz día de las madres tarde!

KaboingTV.com

I love cartoons. Chances are you do too if you think about it. the bad news is that Cartoon Network will be showing less and less cartoons as time goes by- much like MTV no longer carries music videos in their programming. Saturday mornings sure haven't been any good on network TV either. So where will we watch our cartoons?! Who will produce and air great shows by great creators?!

I suggest you pledge a few dollars at Joe Murray's Kickstarter.com project. He has a few ideas that might get us out of this mess. I believe in it so much that I scrounged a few dollars together and made a pledge. I sincerely hope that a great number of you out there will do the same.

Dumbfounded: Virtual International Jam Session

8 people with 5 instruments from 4 Continents speaking 3 languages for 1 song.

Listen to the track- watch the video- download the track for free if you like it. Spread the music. I would love to be a part of a project like this someday soon. Thanks for the tip Peshi.

Nigol

The other day a character just popped into my head and I had to get him down on paper. Below is a quick character study I did of him. Our friend Nigol is a "special" person who has delusions of secret agent grandeur.
