The Simpsons

a looonggggg time ago i found an old copy of the now defunct 'The Simpsons Illustrated Magazine', and in the back there was this great drawing of Moe's Bar. I don't have the original scan anymore or the magazine, but i did have a blocked in version that i started. anyway, i finished it recently and had alot of fun. if anyone knows who did the original drawing, please let me know.



And this second one is a reworking (ie. i finally finished it!) of an older painting. let me know if you want to see more:-)

Second portrait from Shanghai

This gorgeous women was one of the agency clients and has such a great profile. She always wore chopsticks in her hair as well, and had this great mix of modern and traditional Chinese. Very attractive...I don't think i did her justice but tried my best.

Galactus

This was kinda close to the stuff i did for the FF2 film, but as i'm never apparently going to be able to show that stuff (thanks Fox!), this was one i did on my own.

Shanghai peasant portrait

i was in Shanghai last year, and while out on the film shoot this Chinese peasant (to call her that seems really odd and demeaning, but i can't think how else to describe her because she was obviously very poor) was collecting all the discarded recyclable water bottles that the crew was drinking then tossing away. she was really friendly and seemed interested so i approached her about taking her picture. she seemed fine with it and posed for a couple snaps. i finally got time to paint her portrait digitally using Painter X and took advantage of the great natural bristle brushes and palette knifes. i sure do love that program!

some more Shanghai paintings coming over the next few months.

Star Trek Animated

i was going through an old hard disk, and found a bunch of sketches that never saw light of day...i was thinking about how to redesign and update the Star Trek Animated show that i loved as a kid. obviously after i had just finished reading New Frontier, and then it turned into something else.
