this is one i did over the holidays last year. wasnt sure about it at the time but thought it was looking good enough to post ;)
finally! a new one. put my 3 day weekend to use. the challenge on this one was taking something that could have been very flat and horizontal and really exaggerating the z depth. lots of calligraphy ...
the latest in the series. still working on doing more with less. meaning, what are the absolute essentials of the scene and still have it represent whats there in front of me. trying to spend more ti...
it seemed fitting to end the year with this location. i usually took my class here for the last day when i was teaching at Art Center. simplified shapes but realistic tonality seems to be what im try...
this weeks Graphic LA entry. these are getting more abstract in that while the shapes are based on reality, im pushing them farther than whats in front of me. the color as well. this approach, i have...
or near that street anyway. every single shape is altered, pushed and skewed in this one even though it looks somewhat real. had an interesting talk with Robert Valley which lead to this. although my...
granted its not as picturesque as Vermont but LA ha its own unique palate. concrete and orange. lately ive been thinking a lot more about designed shapes versus sight to size/visual impression. this ...
heres a few more concept deigns from Uncharted 3. i was trying out a little more of my graphic look on these.
i say snapshot because its a very casual composition. almost something youd see catching your flight to mars or saturn. invented piece inspired by recent travel. going for a retro future, with some A...
enough time has passed i thought id post a few of the concept designs i did for U3! i waited a beat because i didnt want to give anything away for the hardcore gamers who played to the end already. a...
I was in Altoona,PA for Illuxcon last week (thanks again Pat and Jeannie for putting on a great show) and I was exposed to an entirely different set of shapes and lighting conditions. I carried a sma...
a new Graphic LA painting! its been too long. Uncharted 3 is safely put to bed and its time to get back to this thought. an important note (to myself as well) in the very last stages of a painting do...
imagineFX (great magazine btw) has a gaming issue coming out and ive done an in depth tutorial on the creation of THIS concept for Uncharted 3. thanks to Claire Howlett and Naughty Dog for making thi...
well, its been TOO long since i posted a n y t h i n g . Uncharted 3 has been a bear to wrestle to the ground but its looking good. had a spar nano second and needed to do a piece for moi. more explo...
hey all, ive been getting good responses to the Graphic LA images so im going to have limited edition prints of 4 of the images. i numbered and bagged them this weekend. these are high end archival g...
finally, a new one! i noticed that these are taking much longer and getting more detailed, which is fine. its an interesting evolution when you look back over the posts from this series. i added a fe...
one crashed hard drive, a corrupt file and one false start later, i finally was able to get to another in my series of Graphic LA paintings. this one was 90% rectangle and line tool. i make a square,...
plus my block in and a close up
the latest in the series of graphic interpretations of LA. i saved out a few steps along the way and added those too.
its interesting to see my own evolution as this series develops.
ive been curious about this for awhile so..... i did a little reconstruction by watching the film, making a map and looking for landmarks. heres my result !
view from Chinatown
still working on realistic yet stylized look/process
in this quick 45 minute painting i primarily used the receding texture to give the sense of receding distance, much like Moebius does with his details in this profoundly simple but accurate pen drawi...
