Some Sketches from the Dev of C i v f i v e

Cross country in a new Car

Civ5 is done, flew to San diego to visit family and go on a quest for the Best So-cal Cheeseburger. I tested many burgers, and have to say the in-and-out double double animal style is my fav. Even better than 5-guys. But I'm not a big fan of in-n-out's fries. Best fries might have to be in baltimore, those belong to the brewer's art Garlic Rosemary fries. Best burger in baltimore is The Hamilton tavern burger, artisan meat with bacon and a Fried egg. Though i had a really awesome burger in West-Chester, PA at Kidare's, the E.U. Burger, very tastey, has swiss and cheddar cheese and some fancy beef from England, looked like it had cubes of ham mixed in it.
Back to so cal, I bought a brand-spankin-new 2010 VW Jetta TDI Cup edition. Completely love this car, its fast when I want it and efficient when I want it. great suspension and handling. 47 mpg's highway doing 75 mpg in 6th gear. Overall average is 40mpgs, i'm thrilled with it. The Sat-radio is cool, but i really love the SD card reader, I can stick my favorite tunes on a tiny disk and plug it into the dash. This car took the 5 day trip across the country like a champ, and did it sipping only 6 tanks of gas for the 3000 mile ride! I have to thank Mary for this sweet pic of me and my ride at Red Rock! Also thanks to Maren, Art, Carrie and Matt for letting me crash on their couches!

Subs in San Diego

Just got back from an awesome trip to the West Coast. My last day in town visited Cabrillo national monument with my Mom, snapped this photo of a US Navy Submarine going out.

Ain't saying its Origional, Just fun to draw . . .

Drew this while watching "Rock N Rolla" . . .fun film.

Year End Update

Things this year went by fairly fast and fairly awesome. Here's a life-digital-painting did last week on the Cintiq at Charcoal Club in baltimore. Also posted is an drawing for beach towels given out at my sister's wedding in Venice beach. 2008 was a very social year and i've had some great times and made some great friends, but haven't made a whole lot of art I can post up here. Hopefully in 2009 i'll make up for it.

Returning to Life drawing

It was a fun and busy summer, and now its time to get back to business. I hit up Hampden's Clipper Mill's Charcoal Club last wednesday for a great Lifedrawing session. Met up with old drawing buddies Mathias, David, and Diego. Monday night went to the rediculously awesome Dr. Sketchy's session at Dionysus. David in attendance aswell, met lots of cool folk there. Tuesday night began MICA alumni drawing nights in the Fox building. Hope you like the sketchbook scans.
