My Dad took us little kids to see "Taste the Blood of Dracula" at the drive-in, and the image of Christopher Lee with bloody red eyes burned itself into my brain. I had to do a painting of it! Done in watercolor.

Jean Giraud/Moebius 1938-2012
I'm still kinda devastated by the passing of one of my favorite artists of all time, Jean Giraud. I only got to meet him a few times, but each time was memorable. The first time was in the late 80's at the San Diego Comicon ( before the show became this pop culture monster) when it was all about art and comics.I got three skecthes from him which I treasure. I never thought that I would get to meet my idols, but since moving to California from Hawaii, I've pretty much gotten to meet them all. Moebius being at the top of that list along with Frank Frazetta whom I also met at the Con. The last time I got to meet Moebius was at last year's CTN EXPO in Burbank and got watch him sketch for an hour straight. Mind blowing. I'll really miss him, but I'll continue to use his influence and inspiration to keep me going in my efforts to become a better artist.

More Watercolors
Here are some watercolors I did last night in class of Malo Youseffi. I'm still trying to get the hang of the medium, but practice makes perfect ( or not...)

Watercolor
Just did this watercolor tonight. It was a total joy to be able to paint in class once again. It's been WAY too long since I could do it, and it feels fantastic! This was painted in ten minutes. Gotta paint more.

HulkBoy!
This just came to me one day. I liked the juxtaposition of two characters traits. Since The Hulk is a big oaf and Hellboy is a big oaf, I figgered why not? This was done with watercolor in my regular Stathmore sketchbook whose paper isn't made for wet media, so I had to really push the pigment around to get the color down, so it made this weird mottled effect which I wasn't planning on, but I actually really like. I love happy accidents in art, they give you things you can't plan for.
