A lot of times I get ideas for illustrations that don't exactly fit into any of the projects I'm currently working on, so I try to draw them out as quick thumbnails. That way the idea can stay in the back of my head and eventually it might fit itself into one of my projects, instead of just disappearing into the endless void of unfinished drawings in my head. The thumbnails above are examples of some of those rough ideas which I would someday like to finish in the right context.
The drawing above is a quick warmup sketch I did based on some photo reference of Sophia Loren. I've been experimenting with some new brushes and techniques in Photoshop in an attempt to make my paintings look more like classic 1960's magazine illustrations.
In case any of you are wondering why I'm only posting crummy thumbnails and unfinished drawings, and also why I update my blog so infrequently, the answer is that I've been working on loads of cool new stuff but I can't show any of it right now. Since November I've been doing background designs and beat boards for Cartoon Network Europe. They're making one of the coolest cartoons I've ever seen and I hope it makes it to the air so you can all see it too. I've also done some new t-shirt designs for Gama-Go for their Fall lineup, character designs for Laika on another secret project, and I'm working with Elizabeth to develop a show at Disney. Besides that I'm creating a bunch of new poster illustrations for a secret project which I'm not quite ready to talk about yet... but you will hear more in the coming months, and there will be lots of new prints at Comic-Con!
And finally - Elizabeth just opened a new store and a website! Go check them out!
