Hey, I finished this mural! I actually finished it about 2 weeks ago, but I've been so busy I hadn't had the time to post about it. It's going to be installed sometime later this year at Level99 in Natick, MA.

Finally had the chance to finish off this gouache painting that I started a few weeks back. I'm pretty pleased with it!

Another round of marker tests. I got kinda garish with the colors, but I like 'em anyway!

I recently had the pleasure of digging back into marker drawing. I've got to get my chops back up for a project (can't talk about it yet!). Here are the first three practice drawings I did. #marker #drawing #penandink #scifi #copic #spaceship #doodle #artpractice

Another batch of robot doodles. Which one should I turn into a gouache painting? #drawing #sketchbook #doodle #robot #scifiart #comicsart #comicsartist #conceptart

New gouache painting. With birds! I'm trying to do more without the linework and just letting the colors sit next to each other.

From the sketchbook, some random robots... drawn while waiting for a doctors appointment.

A series of pen and ink drawings of quirky robots. One with a tire on it's head and hands. One extremely tall one with a bird on its head. One standing like a mobster. One short one with its hands dragging on the ground and its head covered in canisters.

And here comes the next one. It doesn't look like much yet, and it's pretty much impossible to document. But here's a peak!
Level99, Tyson's Corner

And she's finished! Not bad for 3 days labor. I think this might be my favorite thing I've ever painted. Thank you Level99 for the opportunity! Be sure to visit in late summer/ early fall if you are anywhere near Tyson's Corner, VA! Now on to the next one!
