illustration friday post "ocean"

I've always wanted to do a poster parody. This week's illustration friday theme was "ocean" and I thought it would be fun to do one based on the 1960's movie "Ocean's 11". I didn't have time to draw all the guys, so I made it Ocean's 2.

illlustration friday post "edge"

It’s been a while since i’ve done illustration friday. This week’s topic is “edge”. I’m not sure if crocs have bicuspids but it sure does sound funny.

happy new year!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! First drawing of the year (I actually wrote the wrong date out of habit) -Cheers!!!

wilshire mark #17

Our mark for the week was this petite lady wearing a zipped up leather jacket and shorts. Right before picking her as our mark we saw a guy on a cool vintage vespa. I decided to combine the two. It's quite possible he picked her up later on down the block.

Wilshire mark #14

Rainy day on Wilshire. Our 14th mark had a unique way of holding his umbrella. It was held really high up. Perhaps he was blocking the rain for an imaginary little friend.

Wilshire mark #13

A windy moment on Wilshire Blvd. Here's a quick sketch of our 13th mark.

Wilshire mark#12

Our 12th mark is a cool dude walking his pit bull. I wonder if his dog's name is Spike.

Wilshire mark #11

We had a great turnout today! I think there was about a dozen of us. It was really cool to meet new people and sketch. This week's mark was having Chipotle for lunch (according to his brown bag) Here's my take on him.

true grit inspired illio

I got inspired from the drawing club last night, so I decided to take one of my drawings and do a more stylized illio.

drawing club - true grit

Happy New Year!!! It's been way too long since I've posted. Went to the drawing club last Thursday. The theme was "True Grit" and the model we had was awesome!!! Here are some doodles from the session. I think I need bigger paper... all my drawings are cropped. I improvised on a few and just drew the missing feet on a separate piece of paper.

Sketchcrawl #27 - Redondo Beach

It's been a long time since I've been to Redondo Beach and not much has changed. Sketchcrawl #27 was held there and it was a great location. It was super cold and windy, but still lots of fun!!! Here are some doodles I did with my frozen fingers.

THIS IS CHRIS - wedding video animation

I made this animated slideshow for my buddy's wedding. He was just married this weekend and I had the honor of being his best man. Hope you like it.

hanging with mr. cooper

Here's a little doodle of me spending some r&r with my little pup Cooper. I do a lot of line drawings, so it was fun and challenging adding colors.

sketchcrawl #24

Had a great time this weekend at Sketch Crawl #24. We met up at the Grand Central Market in downtown Los Angeles. It was great to see everyone again and meet new crawlers. Looking forward to the next one!!! Here are some of my doodles from the session.
