PBG Live Paint II

Phone Booth Gallery has done it again; another Live Paint event, this time with raffle tickets to give away the eight (individually worked) finished paintings at the end of the night!





It was great to work next to some of my favorite fellow artists again, and we had a hellava turnout, the place was PACKED all night!





Mr. Moses Avila (I think I spelled that right) won my painting in the art raffle finale! Hooray to you, and to all the winners of eight AWESOME art pieces. This event set the bar really high for next time!

3D rainy-day fun!

Trying some stuff out while working on Christmas presents. Seems like it works better with the red lens over the right eye, but I don't know if that's the Official Way™ or just the way I made the image.

Light a Candle, part Deux

I got the chance for a second stab at the van Bommel page ad from a while ago, with a new shoe to showcase for a designer's expo. They ended up changing the background color scheme back to the original ad, but I really like the way this version turned out.

Technology is my friend

Screwing around with some vacation photos, trying out an old tilt-shift technique I just discovered to make landscapes look miniaturized, and instantly fell in love with it. Ridiculously simple to do, and I'm probably very late to the party, but definitely something I'll be playing with in future projects. Huzzah for knowledge!

van Bommel odds n' ends/ Zombies' last gasp

Tried to post this on Facebook just now... terrible.





Also, if you haven't been by yet, my good friend Mr. Jason Liwag's Zombie show has been extended, but only for a little while longer, so go check it out at Yojie's (501 w. Olympic Avenue, Los Angeles)!



Wonderful work by a great group of artists, don't miss it!

Amsterdam, HO(i)!

The newest van Bommel Family Tree is off and running to a new shop in Holland! Did the drawing on illustration board instead of paper this time; great surface to work on but with limited scanning options. Ended up having to cut it into sections (as artfully as possible of course) to get it into the flatbed.



This final shot's pretty tiny, but I'll be adding some detail shots soon. Excelsior!
