...Not As Sweet As Chigurh

i present Anton Chigurh, the sadistic villain featured in No Country For Old Men. I did this totally on the fly, on crappy sketchbook paper. I've been feeling like i'm in a rut lately, like all my work lately has been like pulling teeth. This however, was loose and fun. I can only hope this process is getting me back on the road.

I Saw A Totoro

Okay, so i used to an anime HATER but my girlfriend has been renting movies by Hayao Miyazaki, among them My Neighbor Totoro.
I was inspired when i came across The Totoro Forest Project, a gallery consisting of paintings and prints from a vast array of artists. Apparently the forest that inspired the movie is in danger of being cut down and they are raising money to save it.
Anyway i haven't watercolored in a while, i realized that i really miss it. Starting them is the hardest part, but a finished piece is worth it.

Illio Friday - "Sour"

i kind of re-used the scary chick from last week's illustration- i don't know where she came from, its like she's one part my girlfriend to two parts kat von D and the terminator. i really struggled with the car, i hope you like it.

Illio Friday - "Fierce"

This Apparatus...

I did this portrait of cedric bixler from the mars volta (my fave band), i think it's pretty swell. i also wanted to try my hand at brush ink instead of those really tight faber-castell pens i use. what do you fink?

Album Art

A while ago i let local hip-hop artist Brzowski use one of my images to use on his latest album. I just got an advance copy of it and it looks SICK!...especially the actual disc itself considering i didnt even know he was gonna slap it on there.

Illio Friday - "forgotten"

so i did it a week late- so what? i've been distracted lately by this beautiful weather...
