If you're in the Twin Cities, you can see the actual full-sized thing at the AE show, which is on Friday, April 6th. Here's the website with the info.

Hope to see you all there!

Fan Art - Psychonauts OTP

In case anyone hasn't noticed (by following either my Twitter or Dribbble), I'm completely enthralled with Psychonauts right now. I could go on about how it's an amazing game, in writing/art direction/concept/gameplay/everything/blablablah, but instead I did a little fan art of my two favorite characters being the most adorable couple EVER.

YAY

Also I have a big piece to post next week (the one I've been working on for the past 2 weeks) which is also Psychonauts-related, but I'm waiting to find out if that one is going to be in a gallery show or not. It will be a surprise.

Woohoo!

Illustration - Hunka Hunka Burnin' Love

Hey guys!

This is the first illustration I've done in a while. My lovely roommate Alex and I have been challenging each other to complete illustration projects and our first one was drawing what exactly a "hunka hunka burnin' love" was. I went for a caricature-esque look since I've always wanted to improve on my caricatures.

Whee!

Waukesha Winter JanBoree

Hey guys!

Just thought I would post this since I realized I... hadn't yet... anyway, did this a couple months ago for the Waukesha Community Ed Center for their annual winter festival, the Waukesha JanBoree! (And yes there's Mr. N'Ice up there on the bridge, along with the other Waukesha mascots.)

And my correspondent Erica sent me this picture the other day - the fliers have been printed and they look awesome! I actually kind of like the colors on the printed version more than the colors on mine, haha...

Well, hope you enjoyed!

In-Progress: Cut Paper

Greetings lads and lasses!

Well I did attempt to get up to a holiday-related artwork today, but I quickly fell discouraged and retreated into my "art block" distraction of video games. Later, though, I decided to try my hand at some cut paper illustration (which I have never attempted before but have always wanted to), and here are the results thusfar. (I'm holding it against my sketchbook for further clarity.) Now I just have to make it a fancy background or border or something. Yeeeeah!

(Also note the new haircut.)

In case you're curious about cut paper art, here are a couple of artists that inspire me and do it WAAAAY better than I ever could:

Brittney Lee
Ellia Ana Hill (of GreenBeanBaby.com)

Well, that's all I got for ya today. I'm going to sit back and enjoy my cocoa and schnapps. Have a Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/Happy Kwanzaa/everything else!

Dog Days Mural

What's up, y'all? I've spent the last couple of weeks doing this mural for one of my work locations, and I finished it yesterday morning. It was super-fun to do!
