Remembering Norm Schureman

Norm was a really cool guy and someone I could really relate to. We shared similar interests and I really enjoyed the trips we took in his dynamic sketching class, especially the Nethercut where he got us in the private collection tour then our class got a special tour in the restoration area which blew my gear-head mind. Also Planes of Fame, it was great being able to talk to him about the aircraft; something I don't often get to talk about with someone so knowledgeable. Not to mention he helped me improve my drawing.

Goodbye Norm, my life is certainly better for having had the pleasure to be one of your students.

Pressure

Week 9, the work is mounting.

Where are the BRAKES!?!

I'm taking drawing for Illustration this term, aka; drawing with a pen. I enjoy this class but I have a hard time slowing down. 100 mph is the speed I draw.

Come on feel the noise... I mean paper.

Drawing from the last day of Inventive Drawing.

...and another one.

I visited San Luis Obispo this weekend, and Morro Bay. I've been doing a lot of drawing from observation this break and its been a lot of fun. Especially fun at cool locations like Morro Bay with a rad looking power plant just to my right, I have a third eye now.

New Year...

...but this is old now, its from 2009. You know, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, before there was the iphone... OK, not that old.

These were some Dynamic Sketching redesigns.

Trazar Dinámico!

Here are some dynamic sketching pages. I was not satisfied with my final book, I wanted to make a magazine featuring my sketches but it proved not feasible (ie; not well planned by me in time to turn it in) so I had to coil bind it. I really enjoyed the field trips with this class, most the places I had never been or not been for quite some time, definitely a worthwhile class.

DYNAMIC!

Dynamic Sketching was a fun class this term. Just going places and drawing pretty much everything. Word of warning: Do not schedule another class right after this one, its really a pain in the ass.

Much to learn, you still have....

This term is nearing completion and I'm finishing up my final projects. Al...most... there...

The Force is with me and I'm ready for 5th term.

ZAP

Here is a ray gun master piece.

No time for Love!

Break is over, 4th term begins. Something from my sketchbook. I had a fun, but uncreative break and did not produce amazing work on the magnitude I envisioned. Darn.

The Hare

Danger abounds, only one hero can save us. THE HARE!

This is my character from my digital illustration final, expect this to be all the rage amongst K-12 kids this school year.

Outlaw Minotaurs, before its too late...

Haven't updated in a while, so here is my logo I did in digital illustration as part of a business card project. You can see it in my banner above.

Domo Arigato

Another digital illustration project. The colors really look bad on here now that I look at it. The concept behind this one is just too deep and complicated for me to even verbalize....

Semper Fi

Latest digital illustration. My least successful to date but I like it. Really toned down from my original concept to not offend anyone.

Vladimir Putin number 1 Fan Club.

Ole' Vladimir Pooty Poot, everyones favorite ex-KGB agent. For digital illustration.
