Lost in Space...


I'm really happy with this one! I came up with the idea when I was trying to think of stupid stuff that I did when I was a kid. I remember this one time my sister and I made a bunch of construction paper levers, switches, and screens and taped them to the bottom of the kitchen table so that it could be our space ship. I tried out a few different more serious/dramatic thumbnails, but in the end it was a lot cuter to look at it like a parent would - just outside of the 'ship'. Then I thought it would be cool to have those E.T.-like shadows coming out from under the table, making it look even more surreal and space-age. Hope you like it!

Gamer's room



I'm going to give myself some distance from this painting to see if I'm really finished or not. But I am fairly happy with it so far. I set up a second monitor so that I could paint zoomed in, and just look at the other monitor to see the overall effect. I it worked out pretty well, except that my second monitor being a cheaper end led has very saturated colours without a complete tonal range. I was able to fix it with most colours, but it leaves pinks coming out VERY bright magenta if they are anything above a midtone... I'll have to see if I can tweak the colour temperature of the monitor to fix it.

Seahorse, Band Cover, and Chris's Card




Since I moved I've had lots of time to work for the first time since november, and I've been crunching out work like crazy. Here is a seahorse that I did for my girlfriend's mom's birthday, a CD cover for the Living soundsystem, and a card that I made for my stepdad. I also started playing around with a new version of Colors for the DS, and I'll post the results as I go. I had no idea that the touch screen on the DS was pressure sensitive. So cool!
