childhood cat

I did a painting of one of my childhood cats, named Picasso, wearing a hat while I was visiting SLC, Utah.

It's been a while since I've updated my blog...
I've been pretty artist-blocked this past year and have not finished many pieces, but here are a few works that I haven't posted up:

Campfire Jam, June 2010:

Untitled, November 2009:

Thumb study, sketchbook drawing:


Also this year I was one of two 1st place winners for ON3P Skis "worst topsheet ever contest" (they could not decide on only one winner out of all the entries, so they made two 1st place winners). Winning a pair of one-of-a-kind custom skis! (191cm ON3P Caylors).
My concept was Stephen Hawking skiing on ON3P '09 Caylors*, to be put onto a pair of ON3P '10 Caylors. My idea came to me the night before a 9am class, I ended up getting out of bed and working on the computer from around 12am till 4am in the morning to create the graphic.
The drawing in the graphic was intentionally drawn poorly. Here was my submission:


Here are pictures of them being made in the ON3P factory:

Thanks so much to ON3P Skis for hooking it up! & Thanks to Stephen Hawking for being a brilliant mind, and source of inspiration. Now I just I can't wait for the ski season, Mr. Hawking and I will be tearing up the white fluffy pow!

LET IT SNOW!
