My first Tattoo!!!!

Hello, i recently got my first tattoo!!!! i've been wanting one for awhile and finally created a design that i really liked. Below is the drawing of what i got on my left shoulder, i will post the real tattoo once its all healed up. Most people ask what the meaning is behind the tattoo, so to save everyone time, here it is. I got a Bear paw on my left arm because i'm left handed, and a term for left handers is "South Paw" so that's why i chose a paw, the palm of the bear paw is an artist palette because it's my drawing arm. I chose a bear's paw because bears are strong and my strength is drawing.......... and there paw design is really neat....lol.

Hope you all like!

Kitty Love!

This sketch was done for my wife Shannon. It's a drawing of her as a kid holding our cat Sketch. I'll be doing another one of me with our other cat Jinx. Both will be printed on water colour paper, framed and put into our washroom. The walls are bear and desperately need some art up there.

Enjoy!

Silk Spectre WIP

So Artjumble decided to extend the "WATCHMEN" theme for one more week, which is great because i know there is a few of us who would like to take a crack at another character. This week i am doing Silk Spectre (the movie version). If i have time i might take the pose and put her in her comic costume as well.... we'll see. Anyways here are two rough drawings done in photohshop, not sure which pose i will use but i'm leaning towards the pointing pose. Looks more interesting.

Hope ya like,

Night Crawler WIP

Long time no post! seems like i say that every post these days..hehe. Anyways here is a work in progress of Night Crawler which i am doing for this weeks Art Jumble topic...X-Men. I wanted to do the whole crew but don't have enough time these days, so i decided to do a character i haven't drawn yet. Once i get him all cleaned up, i will throw some colour and his famous teleportation smoke.

Total Drama Action!!!

Hey gang, Total Drama Action (2nd season of Total Drama Island) is now being aired at http://www.teletoon.com/ , It's also being aired on Teletoon, on Sundays at 6:30pm. I am currently animating on the show but will soon be Animation Director starting in February. The animators are getting more comfortable with the characters and the new season is looking great!

I'm not sure when Cartoon Network is going to be airing the new season for all you Americans out there, but you can find out more about the show if you to go the TDA blog, http://www.totaldramaisland.blogspot.com/ Also i just read on the blog that Americans can not watch the episodes on teletoon.com due to broadcast regulations. Unfortunetly we can't watch on american websites either...oh well.

Hope you all enjoy!
