Leif Erikson Day!

Today is Leif Erikson Day. Not exactly sure why we celebrate him but I guess from some historians' belief that he could have discovered America and not Christopher Columbus after all. Either way, Vikings are always cool to draw! :)

The 3 Amigos at CTN Expo 2013!

Im happy to announce that I'll be speaking and sharing the panel with two best buddies of mine, Marcos Mateu and Marcelo Vignali at the CTN Expo 2013 on November 16, Saturday, at 2 pm. The session is titled, "The 3 Amigos: A Collaborative Approach From The Artists Point Of View." Excited to share the floor with these guys to talk about collaboration, friendship, respect, teamwork, Surf's Up and of course, El Pacifico. Exciting time, too, to reconnect with old friends and colleagues, and just enjoy breathing in fresh flow of amazing creativity into our artistic veins. Don't hesitate to stop by and say hello.

F104 Starfighter and Battle Of The Bulge

Random warm ups using new PS brushes. Enjoy.
