Drawings of naked / semi-naked people

So I teach figure drawing a couple hours a week. It’s definitely been a blessing in disguise. I’ve been approached to teach before but I’ve always held off. Now that I’m doing it, I’m finding that working with kids is rewarding, but it also helps my drawings a lot. Once you gotta teach somebody how to do it, you start to analyze it yourself, and in the end, you’re able to break things down better.

Feel Good Fusion - 1/25/2008

For those interested I’m going to be showing some work as well as doing some live art work in Pasadena at The Terrace in Jan 08. Here’s the flyer for the show:

I’ve never done anything like this before so I’m excited to see how it turns out (read: I don’t know wtf I’m doing!) Hopefully the three of you guys that read this can make it (i’ll remind YOU again).

Holed Up

Hello world,

I’ve locked myself up at my parent’s house so I can work like a madman without any distractions. I was supposed to put EVERYTHING on hold this month so I could bust out as many FR*A clothing designs as possible… unfortunately life was getting in the way.

It’s nice to settle in with just my mac, some pencils and paper, and get absorbed into design. I’ve also taken this opportunity to brush up on some drawings / paintings and studied some After Effects tutorials online.

The year’s just about over and looking back, I gotta say it’s been about 5x’s harder than any year I’ve had so far. Quitting my job, only to join a startup with no paycheck in sight - it’s quite overwhelming. Never in my life did I anticipate depending on freelance to pay the bills, and yet somehow I find myself in that situation.

Anyways, I’ll write a proper rant blog in the future but it’s back to work for me!

BTW, do you know Gez Fry? Really good work. I was looking to do some practice painting and found this drawing of Gez Fry’s:

Here is my painting based off of Gez Fry’s drawing:

Happy holidays.

Jyeah

A friend of mine asked me to help out with a music video shoot. They needed someone to spice up things for a Digital Smoke music video. I didn’t have as much time as I wanted to but I whipped up a couple of elements. Here is one of them:

FM

Howdy y’all.

Working on lots of cool things (I’m happy to say). One of the cool things is that I’m just about wrapping up FM’s new website. I’m passionate about their music and had a blast putting together all the visuals. Hopefully it’ll be up by next week. For now here’s a screen shot of what I got going (layout wise).
