Scribbles # 1

2012-01-17T22:26:00.000-08:00

Scribbles from my sketch book. Sometimes more then scribbles, but still from the sketch book. This scribble was done at PDX airport a few months ago. This guy had a crazy resemblance to my Dad. Okay, Minus the glasses, and my day has a full beard. But other then that!! I couldn't stop myself if I wanted to. The drawing had to be done.

Flowing with Concrete

Skating myself for around 20years now. I've wondered that simple ?? of why? Gary answers it for me. Thanks Gary!

Deja View: Frank Thomas' Squirrels

LOVE SQUIRRELS, LOVE THOMAS' WORK!!
Deja View: Frank Thomas' Squirrels: Let's stay with "Sword in the Stone" for a moment. Juan Alfonso asked to see some squirrel sketches from this film, so here they are. Fran...

I had his Finger Print book when I was a kid among others. I love his style, and the reasons he does what he does. Find inspiration where you can. :)

Photo additives

2011-11-24T09:23:00.001-08:00

I was in Chicago recently and went to the previously called Sears Tower. Great views and photo op. Some of the photos, although great scenic shots missed some content for me. So I thought I would share this modified Picture of Chicago with you. It's not complete, but thought it might inspire some.

Stuck

2011-10-13T10:58:00.000-07:00

This painting was left out of the "Happy Hour" show I was recently in due to a, "now what" moment.
It needs something else to me and I haven't been able to think of the right add on. I have an idea, but not 100% sold on it. So we'll call this the Before. Stay tuned for the After.

The Latest

2011-10-10T19:50:00.000-07:00

This was a piece I did for Screaming Sky Gallery here in Portland, for their show "Dia de los Muertos."
It's called "His name was Steve." There might be a prequel to this one with Steve facing the Chupacabra. ;o)

Happy Hour pics

Happy Hour art show

2011-06-11T08:58:00.000-07:00

Cracking down on projects to get ready for the show this July. This get me motivated when I see it, and a bit nervous.

SORRY EVERYONE...

2011-05-02T22:35:00.000-07:00

So sorry I haven't posted anything for soo long. I started to get into photography, thinking I would try some stop motion down the line. Then taxes came and went and things got crazy.
Then thinking I would start fresh, I started an other blog for mostly sketches. Thinking that would spark me to draw more, and it did...for a while. Now I'm just stretched between too many things.

Well here's where I'm at. I have an Art show coming up in July with my good friend Tyler Brown. I'm going to open a web site for various things, but I will keep this blog connected with the site. The site should hold the bulk of my things all in one place and have this to add to and keep going.

I hope this works.

The Start to the 011

2011-01-15T09:12:00.000-08:00

I'm gonna try to make this year a painting year, and try to have at least one show. Here is the first of what I hope will be many more for the 011.

Be Thankful

ZOO SKETCHES

2010-10-13T08:44:00.000-07:00

I had our Aunt Linda come by last week to watch the kids, and had the opportunity to get out of the house.
I've been to the zoo many times, but have always wanted to go and take some time to just sketch the animals. So I called up my Buddy Tyler and we went.
I will definitely be going back for more.

SWING DESIGN

2010-09-11T13:44:00.000-07:00

My best friend, Larry Peacock is known for being one of Portlands best Lindy Hop Swing dancers. Larry now lives in San Antonio where he is developing an online Lindy hop store. He asked me to help him out with a design, and when he mentioned Disney's "All the Cats Join In" he made it really easy to come up with this piece.

His site, lindyhopstore.com should be up this fall.

Drawing A Mystery

2010-04-28T18:37:00.000-07:00

I do these things called "Lock-ins" at the Department of Skateboarding. For the last Lock-in I had a fun idea for a shirt graphic. I would draw two guys bird-napping the eagle out of the Department of Skateboarding's logo. Inspired by "101 Dalmatians' " Horas and Jasper, I drew the first. Reflecting on it for a while I opted out and went for a "Cartoon Modern" feel Instead.

I liked it much better and I'll definitely be working more with this style in the near future.

HANDLEBAR sp

2010-03-26T14:39:00.000-07:00

I haven't been painting much lately due to my Brother and I starting a Screenprinting Company. For fun we called it, "Handlebar sp." Handlebar isn't all about mustaches and facial hair, but more about fun. This is taking up a lot of my time right now, but I have plans to do some paintings and illustrations soon.

Other Works

MIND TRIP art show

2009-12-19T12:54:00.000-08:00

I had So much fun seeing all my friends and family that made it for the show. Thanks to everyone for their support and love.

2009-12-01T19:00:00.000-08:00

I'm excited, this show has been in the wake for a very long time. Set for June 09, now showing Dec. 18, 2009 along with the Friends and Family Holiday Party. Photos of the event are to come.

2009-06-06T20:41:00.000-07:00

My latest painting I did for Trevor Bingham. A Bar Mitzvah present from his Mom Lenor.
I really hope they all enjoy where their imagination takes them staring into this painting as I did.
Mazel Tov!

2009-04-22T13:10:00.000-07:00

This was my first job as a Storyboard Artist. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was fun and a bit stressful. Maybe there will be more, or maybe not. It was a good experience nonetheless.

2009-04-17T13:44:00.000-07:00

Still thinking of ideas for the up coming show.

Siblings

2009-04-06T09:13:00.000-07:00

I never had a sister, but growing up with two brothers and now having
kids of my own...seeing this through father eye's is a trip.

2009-02-26T08:17:00.000-08:00

I'm currently working on some paintings for a solo show coming up in June. Here are a few to get you interested. Oh yeah, remember the post from March 31 2008. This is what came of the bear I sketched.

2008-12-30T09:44:00.000-08:00

For some reason or an other. Come new years, I always think of a New Years Baby.
It just makes sense to me.

Something...

2008-11-09T13:46:00.000-08:00

Finally, something new.

A few sketches from the last few months that I decided to post for your viewing pleasure.

The Mummy Tuck knee was done for a Halloween overnighter at the Department of Skateboarding. And the sketch of the Newly Weds was done for a side business that I'm starting. Look for details coming soon to hrglsvideography.blogspot .com.

More to come soon.

Sorry...

2008-07-27T10:14:00.000-07:00

I've meant to keep this blog more current than it's been, but This summer has me really busy.

I promise that I will try harder in the future.

This Fall should be a bit easier for doing project , although I can't really be too sure with two kids at home.

I'll try my best.

Guts

2008-05-21T15:28:00.000-07:00

Not sure why I was thinking of

this the other day, but getting the guts to approach a girl you

like is extremely hard for most.

Being a shy guy myself I know how hard it can be.

A little Animation...

2008-04-03T09:46:00.000-07:00

I tryed my hand at a little Animation for this skate video I worked on with my friends. I think it turned out pretty good for my first go. Thanks again Tyler for your help. (stage by Tyler Brown)

Working Bear

2008-03-31T17:17:00.000-07:00

A pen and ink sketch idea for an up-coming painting. Look for the Bear in a future post.

Vagabond

2008-03-19T10:55:00.000-07:00

There is a huge population of vagabonds in Portland. If you ever have a chance and the time, stop and talk with some of them. It's interesting and, as you could imagine, at times sad to hear how they got there.

Something New

2008-03-01T15:28:00.000-08:00

The saying " I'll try anything once," isn't the wisest thing to say. Rather, " With some thoughtful research I'll try somethings."
The first time I saw a skateboard my big brother was riding one. I opted for my BMX bike. I eventually came around, and have been riding a board ever since.

Reid

2008-02-26T10:03:00.000-08:00

I have known the joy of children for just over two years now. They tell you that children are such a blessing...and it's true.

I can remember my life without them before I was married, and the good times I had. But now that I am married with children, I'm really looking forward to the times that we will share and always remember (as I totally ignore my daughter ).

This is my nephew, Reid.

I'm very happy for my brother in-law and his wife.

Enjoy your little Blessing.
