Do not be afraid, I am here

starry nite

I’m here now, can you see me
How bright am I
Can you see my light

I think I like it here
It’s where I belong, right

It feels good to me
Everything I want is here
I can’t go back
Can’t you see my light?

a star

Why are you holding on so tight
Please let me go
I don’t belong down here

My wings are spread wide
I’m ready to fly

I want to shine, I want to shine
Please let me go
Please let me burn bright in the night sky

Homework

Yeup, I said it. That terrible word that sends shudders up & down your spine. The word that can ruin a beautiful Sunday afternoon with a single utterance. Yes. That's what this is... homework. I must say i enjoyed it. Once I got past the fact that I had to do it.
The pain it takes sometimes to create.

In Awe

Ecclesiastes 3:1-2

There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven.

amandala baumuntu

This is a logo that my wife designed and I drew up for my friend's upcoming trip to Africa. I believe amandala baumuntu means "the power of one." Very cool. You can check out their blog on the link to the right. Who knows, they might have room for one more...

Vegetables & Fruit

An elderly Elf

This was inspired by an old guy I saw hanging out in the pharmacy today. The old guy wasn't an elf though.
The elf part came from my desire to draw/paint like all those fantasy painters do. Crazy stuff!!

Sad

This turned out to be kind of a sad surfer dude. Maybe he missed the greatest wave ever.... and then his cat got hit by a stupid kid on a tricycle.

Today

This is kinda how i felt today. Like I was in this intense battle, striving for my life.

Emotion?

Just a random drawing of a face that I did in photoshop a while back.

a candle...

I've recently been experimenting with Corel Painter Essentials. It's a pretty cool program. The brushes are very distinct, and it paints really smooooth.

Crossing the Border

Idiot Shark...

This was a project for my Illustration class. They give you 3 make-ups for a character. The ones I chose at random where, animal: Shark, personality: dopey/idiot and outfit: construction worker.

Our next president?

This is my attempt at drawing Obama. I tried to use a different brush than usual which leaves a lot of background color still in the portrait.
I like the style it creates! I may try to work on this one a bit.

Portrait of a Rockstar...(slightly revised)

Hello, to whoever is checking this out. I haven't posted in a while. We'll see if I can keep up a steady once a week or something. Anyway, this is a portrait I did from a magazine a while ago. I revamped it a little and changed the proportions quite a bit. I really like the way the color came out. The clothes and hair were a quick addition at the end to bring some completion. Anyone guess who it is?

Fun with Illustrator

This is a logo I created for my graphic design class. Creek surfboards was the artificial company. It was pretty fun. I never used Illustrator too much before, but have found it to be a really cool, useful program. Maybe I'll make a shirt out of this someday. hehe

Home at Last!

They finally come to the place where a great banquet awaits them and all who came before are welcoming them in. No more treading across open field of sand and thorn, no longer waiting for inevitable defeat in strenuous efforts and no more disappointment and regret of times long past, because they've come, home at last.

Almost there...

Here, the shephard brings them to outermost edge of their destination. Traveling on a long journey with little legs, some of these guys get pretty tired, so once n' awhile their allowed to ride on the shoulders of their friend. As you can see, some of these small dudes are really excited to go home.
