Watercolor sketches for pitch

A studio contacted me last month for some whimsical watercolor sketches of dads with their kids for a commercial spot pitch. It was a fun project and I believe the pitch went well.

Here are some pages from a non-linear travel journal sketchbook I kept while in Italy this past holiday.

 

Bagni Franco

A couple quick people-watching sketches at a little beach in Italy.

Cafe reader

Wow, a new post! I figured it was time for a new one. This is a little doodle I did last year in Italy, while sippin on some cappuccino and pretending to be painting something else every time this dude looked over.

ISM 10 Year Anniversary Print

This was a limited edition print I did for ISM's 10 year anniversary that was given away to honorees at an award ceremony last week. This was a lot of fun to do and I was honored to be a part of the celebration.

Blue Sweet Nude

This was my little entry in the Just Desserts show at Monkey House Toys last month.

I'm on Etsy!

I've finally set up **my Etsy shop**, where I'll be selling some paintings -most of which I've posted here- and other handmade items. I need to figure out shipping costs and taxes, which unfortunately for me involve math. Please bear with me on that. In any case, thanks for looking!

Battle of the Bands

Girl in the Green Shirtdress

Tourist Couple in Venice

Ladies at a Cafe

I can't decide if I like this or not. It was an exercise to be as quick and loose possible, with watercolor and pen.

Girl in Red Tights

Thank you to everyone who came out Saturday to the Peligro Event! Saw good friends, met new sweet people, drank free margaritas, listened to good live music, a nice time. And special thanks to Chris Vigil for organizing the entire thing and letting me be a part of it. I'll scan & post my other pieces sometime this week.

A Chicken

Man, woman, and pimp

My sketchbook is filling up fast.

Fashionistas

A couple more.

People

From my sketchbook. These are drawn from the Sartorialist, Rumi Neely, and other various fashion blogs.

Objects

From my sketchbook. Getting crazy and trying something new. Lots more to come, as soon as I can scan. Thanks for looking!

Aperitivo

I am in love with the Italian concept of Aperitivo. These are acrylic on wood board 10"x10"
Attempt #1. Eh.

Attempt #2. Eh, but getting there? Maybe 3rd time will be the charm? We'll see.

And here is #3. I'm happy with the way it came out. I hope I can find the time after the holidays to do more.

Ancora Italia

Italia

In April I had the vacation of my life: 16 days in Italy. Here are a few of my silly drawrringz from the trip...
Beautiful Urbino






A quick painting I did, sitting on the countryside one afternoon in Urbino (don't laugh, I haven't used Acrylics in ages, okay!)


and Venezia



It was quite a fairytale of a place, and the trip was fantastic, overwhelmingly. I can barely mention it without gushing, so I will stop there and go back to my daydreaming of returning one day....
More things to come!
