Two more bird studies from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. I’m not sure what the bird on the left is, but that’s an owl on the right. I visited the museum on a field trip with my 482A Life Drawing class from UCLA.

Today I finished coloring the Bird character from my animated film, ‘Papoose and Bear.’
The top image shows the final character designs created in photoshop. The middle image shows the individual painted sculpey forms (used in the final photoshop designs). The lower image shows the original model sheet.
I’ve been itching to make a poster so I decided to make one for a band I like called Bloc Party. The poster references the song ‘So Here We Are’ off the album Silent Alarm. I created all the line work in Freehand and Illustrator and then coloured the design in Photoshop.

This is my Christmas Card design for this year. I began the card design with acrylic paint on watercolour paper. I haven’t painted in a while so this project seemed like a good place to start.
The image below is the original acrylic painting.
I wasn’t really happy with my colours or edges in the original painting so I scanned the painting and reworked the design in Illustrator.
A lot has happened in the month since I posted last; I resigned at my job, sold my house and decided to apply to a few MFA programs. Anyway, thanks to my family and friends for all the encouragement and support I’ve received recently during this transition.
The image above is derived from a childhood photo of me, my older brother, my mother and our pet bird (called Starsky, after…Starsky and Hutch). My Dad took the photo and I’ve always been really fond of it. The final image is the product of Freehand, Photoshop and Painter.
