moleskine part 1

Hello dear readers!
I'm finally back home after traveling abroad  for the past few months throughout Europe and the UK. I'm a big advocate of taking time off to refresh your mind and gain some new perspective, though I must say, it is so good to be back home - and with loads of doodles to show for it. I'll make this a two-part post, then, of some of my most recently completed moleskine.

Work in progress shot of my super realistic nyan cat! I made this for the anniversary "Memes" show at Gallery 1988 that opens this May. I laughed through this painting from start to finish.

We had another figure painting session at the wonderful Korpus School of Art this weekend. Thanks to Rebecca Kimmel for putting it together, and to our fabulous model Maude for maintaining a pleasant smile for 5 hours straight!

Ahh, I feel like I've been really neglecting the blog the past few weeks... or even the past few months! Life is quite full these days with freelance, commissions, and attempting to lead a (somewhat) normal life. I've been curious about this, and maybe some readers can provide some insight - how do others manage to squeeze a full-time hobby into an already packed lifestyle? Any tips, complaints, experiences, grievances, general comments? What do you guys think? Let's discuss!

In the meantime, I realize I sketch constantly - literally, CONSTANTLY - but hardly ever post rough sketches here. Let us rectify this wrongful practice. Here's a couple doodles I've been working on - the first one for a sort of long-term personal project involving this weird indigenous tribe I've been inventing, and the last two for a large tattoo I'm designing for one of my best friends.

I'm also on the verge of finishing a digital painting that has, for reasons even I cannot explain, been taking me weeks and weeks to complete... more on that (hopefully) soon!
