Itamae

admin — Tue, 21 May 2013 14:00:07 +0000

I was requested by Daily Sushi to submit a drawing to their amazing collection of sushi inspired illustrations, so of course I couldn’t resist! With some inspiration from photos and experiences I had when visiting Japan a few years ago, I ended up focusing on the sushi chef (Itamae in Japanese) and some of the tools and ingredients used for sushi. Here’s the final drawing for Itamae, and you can also grab a printed version off Society6 (they have free shipping right now).

Spring drawings

I have a few new drawings posted up, they were created for the Land Gallery show at the end of last year, but I finally have them ready for my site so everyone can enjoy them! You’ll find Sea Urchin, Totem, and Scout on the main gallery page, enjoy them as always!

Phobos

I was invited to draw a robot as part of the Robot Envy series, my entry is named “Phobos”. There are so many amazing robot artworks featured on their site, I’m glad I could be a part of it.

Hungry & Foolish

A little helpful reminder to always stay hungry and foolish, inspired by the quote from Steve Jobs.

Tinnitus

admin — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 04:07:02 +0000

I’ve been wanting a nice subtle desktop for a while and I’ve ended up with one I quite liked a lot. Nothing says quiet and subtle tranquility like the deep depths of the ocean, and there’s lots of friends to be found there as well. Check out the definition of “tinnitus” if you want a hint at the little gem (and the depth of my cheesy titling) hiding among the residents of the high pressure race to the bottom.

Sketches & Things

Between brainstorming and projects and my daily doodling time, my sketchbook and computer are full of sketches that very few people would ever see. If you’re interested in getting a peek at them, I’ve started a sketches tumblr that will be updated daily-ish with new sketches and old buried gems that I dig out of folders and sketchbooks of old. Drop on by if you’re a fan of line work!

Happy Camper

admin — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:03:13 +0000

There’s nothing quite like a quiet breakfast with your friends around a campfire. Inspired by a true life story.

As you may also notice, I’ve updated the site to be a lot more simple and clean. It’s also retina friendly and there’s a new layout for visiting on your mobile device too (mostly optimized for iPhone). I’ve also added a new product in the shop that will let you download all wallpapers at once in a zip file that I’ll keep updated with each new release. So that’s about 60 drawings in formats for Desktops, iPads and iPhone layouts for $8 :D

Lost in Thought

Some deep thoughts to bring warmth down in the cold blue.

Hatch

admin — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:46:23 +0000

As you’ve probably noticed from my drawings, I *love* animation. I’ve always dabbled in it, but never tried it seriously. Well, I’ve jumped in the deep end and I’ve been hard at work the last few years on my own game at Impending. I’m super happy to announce Hatch! It’s scheduled for this spring but you can early adopt a fugu egg with some exclusive colors before it launches.

Twitterrific 5

admin — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 15:50:01 +0000

Twitterrific 5 has been released! Nearly everything has been rethought and refocused on simply reading your tweets as well as making things easier and more fluid overall, while still being Twitterrific at the core. Even Ollie, our bluebird mascot has been refined. I hope you enjoy it!

Studio Ghibli Icons

admin — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 16:52:16 +0000

It’s probably pretty obvious that I love animation but some of my favorites as I’ve been growing up have always been the works of Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki. To have some fun and celebrate all their wonderful influence and my admiration, I’ve made some desktop icons and wallpapers based on characters and objects from the various movies. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed the movies and if you have seen the movies, go watch them now! Really, go now!

Prints from the Land Gallery show

admin — Tue, 18 Sep 2012 01:58:56 +0000

I had a fantastic time at the opening night of my show at Land Gallery in Portland, and now all the new drawings I created for the Land Gallery show are available as prints in various sizes (but the large format prints are the most awesome!).

Here are some photos from the opening as well, thanks to everyone that was able to come out!

Shadow Puppets

admin — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 14:03:17 +0000

I’m really liking many of the drawings I’ve made for the Land Gallery show this month, I know a lot of people can’t make it so here’s one of my favorite new drawings to enjoy.

It’s called Shadow Puppets and it’s showing a group of mysterious five elders meeting again to create something new from something old. I’ll let you figure the rest out!

Land Gallery

admin — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 01:37:47 +0000

If you’re near Portland, Oregon this September, swing by the Land Gallery for a big solo show of my artwork, including 18 new drawings! I’ll be there for the opening on the night of September 7th so stop by and say hello if you can. The show runs through the 30th, featuring over 30 large prints to take in a the detail and colors.

Over the next few months, I’ll be putting up prints and wallpapers for the new drawings, I hope to see you at the show and if not, I hope you enjoy the new artwork!

#sworcery

admin — Fri, 11 May 2012 21:44:59 +0000

One of my fav games on the iPad has been Sword & Sworcery, so to show some love, I’ve drawn up some fan art titled “Woe”for their A/V jam. If you liked the game, you’ll love all the art that’s pouring in over at their#sworcery tumblr.
