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.

Lady Spiderman Violinist & Other Stuff.

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

 

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.

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!

Sunday Sketch

Many Sundays ago, in a friend's backyard. The late afternoon lighting and shadows were much prettier than what I could get down quickly.

More SF

Sketchbook pages from my last trip up....

(This one's for Stephane Kardos)


This bar was our last stop before heading to the airport to go home.

Yosemite Sketches

from a ways back, finally got them scanned in. I can't wait to go back again.

San Francisco Sketches

These are from a couple of months ago. I lub that city.

Avila Beach

This was done in the car as it lightly rained and I was freezing cold, on a drive back to LA from Monterey last year. The scenery was so dramatic and grey. I remember as we pulled out of our parking space and started to drive again the sun started to peak out creating the most beautiful rays and rainbows over the water.
