FOOD REVIEW EPISODE 1- GEORGE'S AT THE COVE

GEORGE'S AT THE COVE
858 454 4244
1250 Prospect Street, La Jolla, CA 92037

So, those of you who are my close friends all know that I am a huge foodie. I love food, and for the most part meals are kind of the defining moment of the day for me. Every once in a while, I come a cross a restaurant or food dish that is truly noteworthy, and I have decided to share these experiences here on my blog.

Last week in San Diego wrapped a local tradition called Restaurant Week.

Here you can see the process behind how a page of ZSB is completed. I normally draw a rough sketch of the layout and then in Photoshop refine the design of the page and then do the final drawing. One of the big things about ZSB is that I've been experimenting with doing panels or scenes in different styles using the pacing and character design to tie them all together.

With this page I wanted to get something that resembled my friend, Cheeks' art style. His style has a really loose, active feel to it and he has really subdued, deep color palettes.

So, I've been kicking the ZSB idea around now for a couple of years. Jed Desuka, the editor/ webmaster of GW and me came up with idea one day while I was visiting him, which was inturn based off of a completely random topic of conversation developed by two of my best friends while they were at work. The idea of "Zombie Shark Bear" was so cool I knew I had to run with it somehow.

ZOMBIE SHARK BEAR EP 0 COVER

From ZSB Production Blog


Here is the cover of Zombie Shark Bear Episode 0.
This page was really simple to make, actually, it's pretty much just the old "Coming Soon" image on a black background. Since I wanted the artwork in the chapter to speak for itself, I decided that a simpler cover page would work well. I also like the way Mirai's eyes contrast with the rest of the image.

Some of my figures

So lately I've been following one of my friend's blogs where he posts some really cool toy reviews and toy improvement tips. Think I might follow suit soon, cause I've got alot to post about on that topic!

Posting it here since the website isn't cooperating...

4 MINUTES OF BREAK LEFT QUICK POST

So, I really wish I was at home working on an art project or something. Also, I really should be posting more about things on here... I've got toy reviews I could do, food reviews, movie reviews, all kinds of things to speak my mind about, and I think it'd be a good New Year's Resolution to try to make at least 3 new entries a year. Heck, let's make that 4...

Okay, so for something good to announce here, looks like I'll be trying to get a few graphic novel collections out by San Diego Comic Con this year. We'll be doing prints this year, but to make it really special how about we finally finish up on GREMLIN WORLD GN Vol 1 and ZSB GN Vol 1? More to come soon, so check back often!

Here's a look at the illustration I did for Pixel Drip's gallery during their last SF tourney. If you like it, I think it's still for sale and you can contact them at pixeldripgallery@gmail.com about it!

THANKS SPANKY!!

COMING SOON TO THE ZOMBIE SHARK BEAR BLOG

Okay, so I have a new plan!

This upcoming week, I will be posting ZOMBIE SHARK BEAR Episode 0 and Episode X over on the Production Blog and will giving some commentary on each page with each update! I'll also be showing the storyboards for some of the pages and may even include alternate versions of scenes if I still have those available! Please make sure to check out these updates!

MORE UPDATING

So, I realize I haven't been posting that much at all; in fact, my last post was way back in April. That being said, going to try to be much more active here and will be writing about a variety of topics ranging from food to the robot action figures I collect. Of course, there'll be art as well, hopefully lots of it. Some by me and some by others.

Tomorrow, I'll be back with some info on my latest anthology project I undertook with my art friends, COLLAB. It'll be on sale later this month at the Long Beach Comic Con and then sometime afterword on www.lulu.com .

So, here's to tomorrow.

COMIC CON 2009

New GW and Massive Hook Up!

Hey guys,

4 YEARS OF GREMLIN WORLD!

This week marks the 4th anniversary of Gremlin World as a web comic!
Though I am very proud of this accomplishment, I know that as an author and artist there are still many ways for me to grow and give my readers a greater presentation. I am doing my best to help you enjoy GW even more!
I thank everyone who has followed the adventures of Pai and co. from the bottom of my heart, and hope you will look forward to the future of GW!!

GW This week

Here's a look at this week's new GREMLIN WORLD updates, with another page coming up on Friday.

BAMBOO

Well, after weeks of trepidation, I have finally brought my WACOM BAMBOO out of it's box and experimented with it a little... and it is freakin' awesome! While my tablet sketches aren't as clean as my usual art (yet), I found it pretty easy to draw well with and I have a feeling my storyboarding time is going to be cut down by a pretty good percentage. I'm going to be trying to finish two animatics this week, one is a remake of an older project, the other is a music video for... well, it's GW related, and that's all I'm going to say.

GREMLIN WORLD REVIVAL

Well, those of you who are following my manga-esque web comic, GREMLIN WORLD may not have really noticed a lapse in content, but Part I of Gremlin World ended with Chapter 14, and so the world and primary characters have now all been fairly fleshed out. Now comes the fun stuff.

Part II of GREMLIN WORLD will have tons more action, a better worked out storyline, better art, and some great new (and varied) supporting cast members and villains! Starting with World 16, titled SIDE B, Part II will open with a bit of a recap on the GW world and reintroduce the characters to new readers. All the art is new and features the updated designs on the regular cast, whom all appear.

GREMLIN WORLD World 16 will begin its online run on Monday, May 5th, and as the entire chapter is already finished should run smoothly into World 17. Please be sure to stop by the GREMLIN WORLD site and check it out!

The Day to Day of an Unemployed Artist

Since graduating from the Art Institute, I have little substantial work on my hands save Nyamo, Gremlin World and the assignments from my current internship. Sounds boring, but surprisingly every day has been quite busy. I wake up at 9 and go to bed at 1, I do the dishes at home, play with my dog, Heidi, eat lunch with my friends, and find a few minutes to check up on what's going on with my hobbies. Somewhere in-between these things all my time is ticked away, a few minutes here, an hour there... it is  tragic but enlightening.

And time is not the only thing being eaten away, my finances are also approaching their last legs. I need to find a job soon and say good-bye to the security and freedom of student life. I have the talent, and I have the time to do something great- if only I don't give in to the slowly growing sense of dread that comes with being bankrupt.
