APE!
From Moonbot's "Sketch Tuesday":
So here's a quick piece, done for fun! (click to enlarge)
Our friends over at the Center for Great Apes are celebrating their 20th anniversary! The center provides a sanctuary for apes that have been rescued from roadside zoos, research labs, the entertainment industry and the pet trade. To say congrats, here are a few sketches from the bots for Sketch Tuesday:

Dog Portrait progress
Still painting my girl Olive - this is 3 short sessions (3-4 hours each). I'm looking to complete a painting per week by end of August, and after that two per week. It is more about comfort and efficiency of the idea. But who knows, for some pieces it may be a 3 hr painting, and others it may be a 3 week or 3 month painting. Either way, this is stupid-level fun!
I should have the completed and framed painting in a couple weeks (taking time off at the beach).
Catch you soon!

I Heart Vespa
My good buddy Beau Hufford is putting on a show in San Diego featuring VESPA ART! I decided this was a GREAT motivator to paint traditionally, so I put together these pieces for the show next week. Look it up on Facebook if you are in the area, and check it out. Beau knows many great artists out there, so it's sure to be exciting.
(above: detail of 22" x 28" piece - will share the full painting soon)
Hot off the press! 18" x 14" - finished this Vespa utility truck this week. Both are getting framed.

Character Doodles
Between character design and storyboarding on our latest projects, I often have paper, markers, and a thought in front of me. It's fun to just spurt it out and have a little goof-off doodle every now and then. This is just one of those pages that I found laying around the story room. I think it started as character design suggestions and ended with giggles.

Peer Roundup
Here's a little roundup of a couple friends' work.
My buddy Jamil is an amazing animator. We had the luck of finding each other at Moonbot, working on "...Morris Lessmore" and winning an Oscar together. Jamil has since moved to New York and is working on a personal short film that he has been conceiving for a while. He is sharing his process on a production blog, with images, tests, making-of videos, and more. Keep an eye out for this guy, and check out the blog. First video is here:
Stacy is another great talent I met years ago at a caricature convention, as well as while training artists in theme parks. Among other things, she is a great sculptor and asked to sculpt my (ancient) painting of Freddie Mercury. Seeing only the flaws in it and lack of structure, I figured she had her work cut out for her, but she really pulled it off!

Back, with new art!
HEY HEY!
It's been slow, but I'm still here - chipping away at all the fun work we are doing at Moonbot Studios.
So to kick things back in gear, I'll just start sharing some stuff from the last year that I haven't been able to, or didn't take time to, or couldn't until now.
Here's a painting I started at a workshop with Sebastian Kruger in Germany, in 2008. I recently finished it, and gifted it to my friend Nicole Durbin. (the date says 06-12, I had forgotten when I started it... but who really notices that stuff. haha!)
This is about 18" tall and on stretched canvas, painted with acrylic.
THIS UPDATE IS FOR IVY. ;)
More to come soon!
