Last Movember Monday for 2013!

Today is the last post for my Movember Monday Series for 2013. I revamped a doodle I drew back in 2012. It's a expression character sheet for a Greek dad character named Jerome.

Last Pin-Up Sunday for this Year

As far I know, this will be the last Pin-Up Sunday for the year 2013. I'm planning on doing a Christmas Edition, but it depends on how the move to the UK goes.

This was a quick paint job, I was experimenting with SketchBookExpress.

Giving into Social Media

So now not only do I have 2 blogs on blogspot, but now I have a blog on Tumblr! It's basically the same material I've been posting on this blog, just thought I should expand to a different domain to increase viewers. I've also started to actually use my twitter account, so please follow me. However, that being said, this doesn't mean I'll be posting up my every thought and stories of my drunken nights; it'll be strictly professional. But don't worry, I'll be sure to illustrate any colourful moments in my life!

Movember Monday #3

Today's Movember Monday is an illustration of a dear friend who is currently going through chemo. This is the first illustration out of three that I'll be doing. This one is based from a photo of him from a few years ago. The other two illustrations which will be posted up next week, will be based on photo from before and after his chemo.

Koots Gang Series - Chelsea Edition

As a request, I drew my friend Chelsea in cartoon form and as a more realistic illustration. I'll slowly be drawing all of my friends who are from Interior BC as apart of my Koots Gang Series.
