Painting is hard!!! Well, this is the best I can do for now. Practice, practice, practice!

LATE NIGHT PAINTINGI forgot how fun painting is! It really helps loosen the old brain to see color and shape for what they are and can become.

"THE RUNAWAYS" I call this one. Sometimes running away can be a good or bad, "+" or "-" thing. Running away from a problem(FEAR) is bad, but from monotonous routine, I think it's okay. My lil' bro calls this method of illustrating with shapes "isometrics" but I think the correct term is "POLYGONIC ISOFORMS."

I hate Vampires! So I drew this to help me sleep at night. Just kidding, I love vampires!

Hey yall! This here is an old piece circa 1998. This is what I used to "draw under stream of consciousness." Sometimes I think I drew better back then!

Friday Night
So instead of going out tonight to hang with Kennedy at a Karioke Bar, I thought I try sketching a few pieces. These two are just my thoughts streaming, not thinking much about it, letting my pencil wander.














I'm having so much fun so far and hopefully I can keep this up!

Here is one of my other drawings, and one of many things I like to draw. RoBoT!

Hi Everyone,
Welcome to The Smoking Pencil! I'm an animation artist doing character design in "Hollywood." I'm sort of new to the whole cartoon scene, but I've been drawing my whole life and miss drawing stuff that is not work related or needs to fit some formula. I am using this blog to help liberate me from the constraints of the job and explore my inner creative consciousness!
