This coming month, I'll have some of my work up at Café Muse in Hollywood as their featured artist for October!

Cafe Muse is a cafe & coffeehouse featuring live music and an art gallery, located at 6547 Santa Monica Blvd. in the heart of Hollywood's Theater Row. Check out cafemusela.com for more info.

Also, to celebrate, we're hosting an Opening Night next Sunday, October 4th from 8-10pm including a special performance by my good friend Kenipha, a fantastic jazz vocalist from San Diego! Guitarist Ray Brown will accompany her.

Upcoming Events & Sketchbooks!

CORRECTION: I am in I I - 16 , not JJ-16 as listed in the Comic-Con program!

Hey Everyone! Sorry for the lack of posts this week, I've been really busy getting ready for Comic-Con... In the meantime, here's some info about Comic-Con and a show I'll be in on August 1!


Next week at Comic-Con, I'll be in Artist's Alley II-16 with copies of my brand new sketchbook, Tangent 2! I'll also have some groovy postcard sets and Volume 1 of Tangent. I can't wait! Stop by and say hello!

A little about my sketchbooks:

Tangent. is 120 pages of original art, sketches and drawings collected from 2002-2007.

Tangent. 2 is all-new, 48 full-color pages of pop culture characters and life study. This is my first color sketchbook!

Stop by early-- I'll have a limited amount on sale at the show.

If you're not going to Comic-Con or prefer to order online, get yours now on my Lulu.com storefront: lulu.com/mr-representational

Also, I'm very proud to mention that on August 1, I'll have work in a group show with NightHawks LA at the Where Lounge in Silverlake! Stay tuned for more details! The flier below is by Anthony D'Amato!

More Skate Park Sketches!

Late Night Drawing Salon: Sci-Fi!

It's a Sci-Fi Weekend! Posting a few of my drawings from this month's Late Night Drawing Salon before going to see Moon!

The Late Night Drawing Salon is a great monthly model workshop thrown by The Gallery Girls. This month's theme was Sci-Fi, featuring looks inspired by Blade Runner, Mad Max, Barbarella and films of that era.

I'm trying out using some more color elements than I have recently. These are marker on paper, 14x17".

Enjoy!

Spectacular Spider-Man "Graphic" BGs

Couple of busy days, so here's some more Spectacular Spider-Man stuff!

These are backgrounds I designed and vector-painted for the main title sequence. These are based on storyboards by the masterful Phil Weinstein! It was a lot of fun to get this crazy with those New York buildings.

*I should also mention these are an exaggerated/adapted version of the background style for the show, which was developed by Vince Toyama and Kenny McGill, based on the work of Sean "Cheeks" Galloway!
