Munny Me

Here's me prepping two new munnys and a just finished self portrait.
I'll be going into the customized munny biz-nez! I'll be posting more info on that later.

Merry Christmas!

Here's this years Christmas Card, watercolor.

Christopher Hitchens

Here's a new portrait done in Acrylics of Christopher Hitchens. A man so articulate that even when He's saying nothing, it sounds like something.

Sunny Day Trouble

Here is the latest Team Kat-O image. I'm still trying to get the book together and hopefully have it ready soon. You know what this feels like? The actor who can't find any roles, so he writes his own play and casts himself. Well I'm that actor and this is my play!

high school photos

I took these with my film camera back in high school. My trusty pentax slr. It seems like this is every New Yorkers' favorite spot in NY.

gun slinger update

The finish from the previous entry. photoshop and pencil. REALLY digging zbrush.

3d sketch

A little trolly thing i'm sketching with zbrush, i love this program because it's so fast. This probably took me about 30 minutes or so. I can light it up and use it as reference.

30 rock!

A new caricature done for portfolio. One of my favorite s hows on tv.

andy zbrush

more doodlesky with the zbrush . seriously so much fun making the hat and glasses. these will be good reference for future illustrations. i already have the actual sculpture equivalents. If you know very little about 3d (like me) you might like this program. It's very good and quick for good sketches.

monkey mask

I made a mask and took pictures of the process, enjoy!

sky diving thing

A new doodle for tonight. bungee jumping FREAK thing! they'll be a bunch more of these coming folks.

this might be a new postcard image for ny anime fest. it's a picture of team kat-o in the future.
the final image might look nothing like this, stay tuned!

my day job

During working hours, I retouch photos. A few weeks ago I did some work for this.


woot! watch out Hollywood!

gasp! .2 seconds of fame!





most of this was filmed in the grace building, my favorite part is when the doctor drinks the blood. oh unintentional humor, you truely are a king of kings.

hellboy

I have a bunch of canvas pads, so I cut up a few into smaller pieces.
This one i did a little doodle of hellboy, I'll probably sell it at a con or something



acrylics

football toss

Last weekend we had a bbq and my cousin's kids were eager to toss the football around. After some instruction from yours truly, I ran inside to grab my camera and snapped a few action shots. NFL scouts check out this extension and form!

FINISHed 3d

From the last post, I put on a brand new spanking coat of paint. This was done with aluminum wire, aluminum foil , glued paper and magical paper clay. NO BAKING. after 3 days the sculpt is ready for priming and a day after that it's ready for color. I used acrylics for Billy and my character ANDY K.
This image of Andy is updated from the last version, I tightened him up a bit mostly on the face and the shirt.


This last image was done for my illustrated blog (look on the side for link) .
I usually don't go explaining myself with these doodles but I'll make an exception for this one.
guy= deep in thought (ha!)
fish=whale
girls= interweb girls
quote= friend's joke

paper clay ventures

I was at kid robot the other day and they had some mini figures of the monarch and doctor mrs the monarch. they were cool but too small, they should make them bigger so I can buy them. A little while ago I bought some paper clay and modeled the Monarch. I love this paper clay even though I can't get the details I can with super sculpey. It's air dry so I don't have to worry about the figure burning. And the price is very reasonable. I've actually been building up the models with paper and glue. The newest head will be Billy Quizboy. after the base is dry, i'll sand and finish off the bust. a few days after that I'll lay in some color.

In heaven

this was from the draw my character thread at c9

i might change it up and paint it. 

In---heaven, 

----phone

---you.   

-from my sketchbook 10 years ago(!) today.    haha sooo emo/nerd!

steambot

Hey there , I have another TEAM KAT-O image.

wanted a more steampunk feel to it.

andy in munny form

this is  Andy painted on a mini munny.  I'll pick up a few more next week and paint them up.  

wips

I had originally uploaded this work in progress in photobucket, but it was rejected because evidently nipples = the horror, the horror. A few years ago I  did some work for a magazine that had the same rule. Whenever we received a photo to retouch, the first thing we would do was remove any hint of nipple.  Advertisers wouldn't advertise in any magazine it deemed pornographic. The internets is not immune to the same shenanigans! 

to the picture....

I'm considering changing this picture to a night scene because it screams STARS.  I want butthead to come out of the ground and the girl needs to be more pale in the extremities.  

The finished product might not look anything like this.

at the met

A few weeks ago Chris Lee and I went to see the Super Hero fashion show at the MET, the following occurred.

WATCH OUT PRICELESS SCULPTURES, my bags a-swinging!

from my illustrated blog

And just for kicks, here's a video of me (and my pale dead legs) drawing. The second song is by hottie/racist(?) b. bardot.

On Saturday I went to Donato Giancola's open studio, which was Super nice of him. A real Pro's Pro.

 

Sunday I made my annual visit to the MOCCA arts festival. It was a little more crowded this year than it was last year (when I had a table, curses!). Some time in the afternoon there was a fire alarm and everyone had to exit for almost 40 minutes. Because of the 95+ degree heat, that time outside was not enjoyable.  

Afterwards college pal, Joe Flood recommended  picking up  "FREDDIE AND ME" by Mike Dawson. I'm glad I did, it's really fantastic I suggest you pick it up too.
