Last year, my co-worker Jason Weitzner set me up with a freelance gig from a friend of his who runs Leaf Trading Cards. The job was to do however many “Family Guy” sketch cards I wanted, depicting scenes from seasons six through eight. These were the result: 50 cards of scenes culled from the episodes “Three Kings,” “Peter’s Progress,” and “Road to the Multiverse.” For those who are interested in… Read More »50 “Family Guy” sketch cards
Come October, I’ll be going on hiatus for the first time since 2010, in which I plan on visiting my mom’s relatives in the Philippines for much drawing and sightseeing. I hope that I will be able to enjoy the fruits of my labor this time around. My last hiatus was spent in Japan, where there were many bad drawing days to be had. The only blog-worthy sketch from that… Read More »My upcoming hiatus and a Tokyo coffee shop sketch
Last Friday, July 20, the “Family Guy” crew hit up Pacific Theatres at the Grove for the 8:30 showing of “The Dark Knight Rises.” Some photos from the event: The crew, minus assistant director Mark Covell, who totally ninja’d his way out of this photo like the closet ninja he is.

My favorite page of figure drawings from this week’s Story Development for Animation class, in which we had to draw scenes around the poses of a cowboy-clad model in under 5 minutes. I crack myself up sometimes.
Forgot that there was no Figure Invention for Animation class yesterday, so I took a walk around Pasadena looking for a place to draw and have dinner, and eventually found it on the patio of AKA Bistro. Perfect choice because the patio was elevated to a considerable degree, and overlooked a square where people sat on tables and benches that were neither too close nor too far from where I… Read More »AKA Bistro sketch photos
Last Saturday, I, along with my LMU schoolmate Laura Robinson, attended the opening reception for the All Together Now: A Tribute to the Beatles art show over at Gallery Nucleus. I first heard about the show through Brigette Barrager’s blog, where she posted up “Fab Four,” her piece for the show. I was in love as soon as I saw it. Her depiction of the Beatles in her vintage Little… Read More »All Together Now: A Tribute to the Beatles art show
Went to the “Winged Creatures” late night drawing event at Gallery Godo last Friday. These are my favorite drawings from that night:
Celebrated the 4th of July at Santa Monica Beach yesterday. Did some sketches while I was there.

I said I’d have a thank you drawing for Ben Li by this time, and, um…let’s just say I had a really bad drawing night. This is either a work in progress, or it’s going to be replaced by something totally different. I’m so sorry, Ben. I’m going to make this up to you, I swear!
