Portfolio

I spent some time recently putting together my portfolio in hopes of moving on from Disney and into bigger and brighter things. So, I thought I'd show a few pages for your enjoyment.

Mothra!

For some reason Ive been thinking about Godzilla lately with the new comic book series and movie in developement. My favorite Godzilla-verse monster is Mothra...so about a year ago I made this piece. Here it is for your enjoyment.

More Disney: Some old favorites

Since I was a kid Ive loved Ludwig VonDrake. His songs are the best. Since I have a love and fascination with all things Disney Ducks...it was about time I did my favorite professor right. Here he is all decked out in his best tux for your enjoyment.

Ive been playing alot of Epic Mickey lately...AMAZING stuff...I actually bought a Wii just to be able to play it. Anywhoo, Ive always like Horace Horsecollar, Mickeys original best pal that faded into obscurity. SO...I decided to kick out this little beauty in honor of our forgotten hero.

Wildlife

Recently Ive decided to start painting wildlife. I'd like to do a whole series of marine creatures. I started about a month ago with my second watercolor ever. I've had a love for pelicans ever since I had my first opportunity to swim in the ocean. I was in Southern California at a beach near Huntington Beach (but not Huntington Beach), I got out pretty far and i floated in amazement as pelicans dove down all around me. They would strike downward from the air, shoot straight into the ocean and come out with a fish. My fascination for them only grew once I moved to Florida and I see them on a regular basis. So I combined a photo I had taken with another photo I had taken of a lighthouse near Miami, and I set it to watercolor. As you can see, I need some work on my background washes, but I think the pelican turned out well.

My second wildlife painting adventure came after my wife bought me a Beluga Whale interaction at SeaWorld for Christmas. Such adorable and awesome creatures. I had to paint one. For this one, however, I used acrylics which im much more comfortable with. I think it turned out well. My camera doesnt quiet do it justice though. Next I think Ill tackle dolphins and penguins...maybe Ill alternate birds and sea mammals.
