Brothers, Sisters, Dinosaurs & Robots

Maggie Park

Mags - 9" x 12" - NFS (click to enlarge)


Moses Park

Moe - 9" x 12" - NFS (click to enlarge)

I finished these a little while back, but since I am handing these two off to Mike tomorrow at the Asian Man Records 13th year Anniversary Party in the Oakland A's Stadium, I finally got motivated to put these up. Monica Park was one of the first people to contact me about doing a commission, and here they are! She just told me to paint whatever, so I decided on a Dinosaur (duh) throwing a paper airplane to a Robot (double duh) who is catching it. I hope they like these, and I hope the kids they are named after (Maggie and Moses Park) will like them and enjoy having them on their walls as they get older.

I stole these from Monica's facebook page, I hope she doesn't mind, I just wanted to share with anyone who doesn't know the Parks how adorable their kids are:

DRAWING CHALLENGE #2 - The First 11 Drawings!

I'll be posting these up as I go, rather than trying to finish them all and then posting them. Last time I did ten, this time I set the limit at 15, but I'll probably wind up with 16-17. Between odds and ends around the office I've been hammering these out in my cubicle. These are the results, click on the image to make it all big and smudgy:

Check back soon! 5 or 6 more drawings on the way!

DRAWING CHALLENGE #2

Hey Everyone, let's get down to this:



1) I designed this logo for the Sound Scene Revolution Podcast. They interview lots of awesome punk rock-type bands. They interviewed my band DESA. I'm supposed to have a pizza eating contest with their host Rich aka DANTE3000, but I keep putting it off.

2) I have a terrible sunburn that just seems to be getting progressivly worse. I applied and re-applied sunscreen, looked fine when we got home, and then it just got more and more red. It puts the lotion on the skin. It smears the aloe. It puts the lotion in the basket.

3) I have been neglecting to put up the most recent paintings I have completed, I haven't posted anything new in a month! Have you forgotten about me? I will hopefully put up some new paintings soon, and then more moleskine drawings.

4) It's time for...

DRAWING CHALLENGE #2

I'm stuck working at the front desk today, so let's do this! For this to work, it requires some group participation: in the comments below, write one line that can be illustrated. (example: The Hamburgler jumping out of a cake at a bachelor party.) I will take the first fifteen that are posted, sketch them up, and post them. The one that I like the best, I'll turn into a painting, and the person who posted that idea gets the painting for free! LET THE DRAWING BEGIN!!!
