Commissioned art in progress

Among my many projects that I am curently working on this one is my
favorite so far. It's my favorite cause the concept was mine to
choose. The client only asked that it have Stitch and Lilo.

Cartoon illustration of my father for his retirement dinner

My father will be retireing from the
Los Angeles fire department soon and he asked for a cool cartoon of
him. So I'm going old school and drawing it traditionaly. It's been
awhile but since the last time I drew on paper. I forgot how cool it
looks and the satisfaction I get when it's finised. It takes a bit
longer then when I do it on my tablet, but gift illustrations schould
be done traditionaly. People appreciate traditional art over digital.
It seems more real when you can see, and feel a drawing.

Donald through the years final ink

A couple of days ago I posted a early version of this minus one
version of Donald with symbols. With that one added this inked stage
of the illustration is complete. Each of the Donalds are seperate
vectored images which will allow me to rescale them any size and not
distort it in the process. Tomarrow I will post the final colored piece.

Phineas and Ferb pin concept for Disney Shopping

Here is a concept sketch for a three pin set for the TV show Phineas
and Ferb. Each pin will be about two inches. I'll post a color version
as soon as I can.

Kennedy Space Center Snoopy Astronaut pin concept

Not too long ago I was approached to design a pin for the Kennedy
Space Center that would feature Snoopy as a astronaut. It needed to
resemble a statue they have of Snoopy as a astronaut. So this is what
I sketched. Unfortunately the client could not get promission to make
a pin of the statue so this is as far as it will ever go. I hope you
enjoy it.
