I started a new sketch the other day. Boredom at work got the best of me and I started to draw this.

So of course I took it home, scanned it in my computer and started to digitize it. Here is the work in progress.

I'll keep working on it little by little during my days off.

Just a recap for those who tune in:

Project 001-Najwa's Snowflake: SHE GOT IT DONE. But...it wasn't colored. Apparently the tattooist thought the design was TOO INTRICATE and decided not to color it. Thats what I get for not having my tattoo studio up and running. She loved it, thats all I care about. If she's happy, I'm happy. I am super stoked about having my art on someone. It still looks good and Im glad/honored she asked me to be a part of the process.

Project 002-Dia De Los Muertos: Im still in the process of vectoring this piece. With work and moving, I havent really had a lot of time to settle down at the 'ol drawin board' and art away. I still love the piece, and am trying to make time to digitize it. Im doing it on Illustrator for those of you curious, and as you know the Pen Tool is as easy to use as it is unpredictable. If youve used it, you know exactly what I mean.

Project 003-Roberts Raven Skull: He loved it. It was a late Bday present, Charcoal on Canvas 24x36. He has a thing for skulls, and ravens are a sort of "grim mort" type of birds so that kind of went hand-in-hand.

Project 004-Julie's Turtle: I still havent received any reference photos or images that she wanted to use so im still doodling random turtles until she gives me those things.

Project 005-Sarah's Accordion: See Project 004.

Project 006-Napkin Octopus: I started combining different octopus sketches Ive done in the past and Ive come up with a tattoo idea that I would love to get done. It's an octopus wrapped around a crumbling anchor.  It has several connotations for which have too many details for me accurately portray in a post, but I will give updates on this.

Please feel free to leave comments, ask questions, start chats, etc. I am always open to meeting people and exchanging stories/ideas.

:Projekt 006: Octopus

So I was at the local casino the other night and decided to draw on a napkin. Surprise, surprise. My fascination with octopi always tends to lead me to draw them in different positions, colors, or wrapped up on different things, (like an anchor, possibly :projekt 007:). But this came out the other night.

I like the juxtaposition, the suction cups, whatnots. The color too. I only had the two colors so I might re-do this with some blues. We'll see. Let me know what you think.

Side Note: I'm still waiting on my friends accordion pics :projekt 005:, and Im still sketching turtle stuff for :projekt 004:
