urban oils







Well it's been too long since the last post but better late than never I guess.

I finished up on "Astro Boy" with Imagi Studios late last year and now I'm back at DreamWorks designing on one of the upcoming films. I'm not sure how AB is looking but our design team came up with some very cool art last year so now we need to cross our fingers that it makes it to the screen....

Here are a few more of my gallery oils from my 2005 Howard Mandville Gallery show. I also included a pic of how I start these paintings. I usually cover the board in pure cad red light and work like mad to cover the brilliant color before all the cones and rods in my eyes go completely crazy. Not sure if you guys have tried to stare at something that bright, but man is it hard to do. I tend to be bolder with my color when keying off of this bright red.

I am scanning more of my outdoor guoache sketches so I'll try and post those next...
