Avatar: The Last Airbender. The Teen Years.

Ok so any fan of the show Avatar knows that he is the last Airbender. Like ever. They were all killed by an imperialistic Fire Lord named Ozai. Well that's a heavy thing to deal with. Right? Being the sole survivor of an entire race. That's a lot for a 12 year old to handle. So it's my speculation that when Aang reaches 15-17 years of age he falls in with the emo crowd. I believe this is even what he may of looked like during that phase in his life.

Nurse On This Illustration

Howdy everyone. I've been meaning to post this for a few weeks now but boy a brotha has been busy. Busy doing thiiis busy doing thaaat. It doesn't really matter what I've been up to but I will say a decent percentage has been doing some new artwork. Which is exciting for me, but also probably VERY exciting for you, my fans, who have been starved of new ecol artwork for some time now. So here we have an illustration I did for the American Journal of Nursing. Pretty fancy gig, right? I thought so too. This piece was done in acrylics and is based off of a particular article in the journal so that is why the subject matter is what it is. They seemed happy with it so I hope the use me again sometime in the future.

The Dog Days Aren't Over

Yo dog, I haven't done one of these in awhile. I used to crank these puppies out like it was nothing. Like it was my job. In fact, it WAS my job. Well here is a brand new pet portrait. This one is a bit different as it was done in oils. I used to do the other ones in watercolor. The reason being I actually made one in watercolor and it just didn't come out that well. And I owed to it to myself and the client to deliver nothing less than an incredible portrait. I knew with oils I could accomplish that. I'm not sure if the client ended up liking this version, but I sure do. And that's what counts.

This one takes the cake!

LIT.ER.AL.LY.
Ok, so this post isnt the most serious of all posts, but figured I would share since it's super cute. My momz and stepfather just celebrated their respective birthdays with me and my sister, and we made them this cake. Now, I know that people make insane cakes with fondant that look like pretty much anything. COOL good for them. I'm not trying to be the cake boss. They win. I was just trying to give the cake a little character, so i drew a quick lil cat face with the frosting. They loved it. And so will you OR HELP ME GOD.

NIGHT OF THE LIVING ILLUSTRATION THAT I DID

ZOMBIES!

The dude who wrote/directed Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Tobe Hooper, recently wrote a book about a movie he wrote but never actually directed. They needed a Grindhouse style movie poster for the viral campaign and I was lucky enough to get the gig. The coolest thing about this all is seeing this online as the official poster.

Watercolor Sketchbook

So I bought a small watercolor sketchbook so I can do quick little studies of things. This is the first one. It's a tomato. Not a peach. The paints I ended up using werent the highest of quality, but I think it's ok for what I want to get out of these. I got my mom one of the books too and we both painted this tomato. She thinks mine was better, but hers was pretty good too.

ecol SAVES THE DATE

By creating a purrfectly pawesome save the date for my great friends Dan and Heather. It was requirement that their cats were on it. Therefore, their cats are on it. It was a pleasure and an honor to be able to provide my artwork for their wedding. Can't wait for the actual celebration. In the meantime, lets all enjoy this illustration.
