Views from Above

Some Los Angeles-area nighttime sketches from about three stories above ground, 25 miles (40 km) apart on opposite ends of town: looking at a processing plant from a rooftop in Pasadena, and a view from a bridge over busy traffic on Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica.

New Year, New Sunset

Sunsets over the beaches in Los Angeles and Santa Monica are simply spectacular.

I keep sketching them - here is the first sunset sketch of the year. This is a view from a pier overlooking the beach. There happened to be a telescope - to me, it feels symbolic, like "looking ahead" to the new year:



Visit my blog for a reference photo and a slideshow of more sunset sketches!

Disneyland

I celebrated my birthday at Disneyland. I grew up in a city nearby, so I went there a few times a year as a child until after I graduated from college. While I still live about an hour's drive away and even know people who work for Disney and have worked for Disney myself, this was the first time I visited there in over ten years. A lot of things were fresh and nostalgic at the same time - while there were tons of new attractions to enjoy, I also get to drink the mint julep and ride the same roller coasters that I loved as a kid.

I think this sketch captured the spirit of the Magical Kingdom - tourists posing for photos, a little girl walking in costume, large Mickey Mouse decoration for Halloween, cast members of the park being attentive - that day even had what I would call "storybook clouds" that are white and puffy!

Early Morning

I woke up one morning very early, so I decided to go for a walk. The neighborhood was quiet and still, and the sky was still gray with marine layer that rolled in, blanketing the sky. I've been paying attention to geometric nature of Los Angeles lately - palm trees, buildings, power lines, cars - a lot of things around here have strong lines.

Poolside Without the Pool

I sketched a building by the pool on a lazy Sunday afternoon - except I ran out of paper before I got to the bottom of the sketchbook page! So here it is, a poolside drawing without the pool.

Los Angeles River

I have been drawing with a group of other artists at Urban Plein Air Society in Los Angeles, and we have been exploring the Los Angeles River. There's no mistaking that the river, with its concrete bottom and graffiti, is in a metropolis, yet it is also home to wild birds and lush with plants. I enjoy capturing the different aspects of the river that can only be seen on foot. (More sketches from the series are posted on my blog.)

Blog/IM Novel

I have spent a lonnnnnng time writing my debut novel, and seeking representation for it. Recently I decided to publish it myself -- all's good so far.

The book will be available for free download for the rest of July, at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/2864.

I am also doing collabs with artists, so if you have anything to contribute/showcase -- let me know (more info on the EyeLeash website)!

PS: I also used a bunch of my old (and some new) art pieces for a book trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnRoFDRwMmw

People Sketches: At the Trade Show

People walking fast with bags of stuff, talking on the cell phones, vendors waiting at their booths and watching the passersby - all are common things about people at trade shows and conventions.

California

A sunny California day, cruising down PCH on a convertible, enjoying the beach view and the surf. What else can you ask for?
If this was a photo, it would be the perfect one for a postcard, dont you think? :)

Nighttime Jogger

Corn Trailer

Here is something that combines my fascination with food, cities, and vehicles: a converted trailer that serves corn on the cob.

Pet Owners

Here's a fun one below - do you think the dog owners (and a rabbit owner) resemble their pets?



This is one of the sketches done during 22nd World Wide Sketchcrawl. More sketches and explanations are at my blog.

The Lonely Bicycle.

There is a bicycle that is parked by the parking sign near my neighborhood. It has been locked there for weeks, and I've never seen anyone move it. The lonely bicycle continues to wait for its owner, day after day, dreaming someday of being free from the post and riding around town like it was made to do....

Boxing Legend

I boxed for the first time about 2 months ago, and the awesome time I had inspired me to draw this. Still no digital editing/coloring, so I was forced to do everything with pencils and sharpies... hope you enjoy it!!!

Sketches of Musicians

I saw a New Orleans-style band, Vaud and the Villains, with some of my friends and had a great time. The place was dimly lit, so I couldn't really see my lines when I was sketching their performance. I like how these "blind drawings" turned out because they capture the energy of the band.

Batgirl by:Alexei Martins

Batgirl based on the awesome Andi Watson's design.
