Sierra Side Painting
After spending all day storyboarding action and drama, taking two hours to paint a landscape where nothing happens is pure self indulgence. Ok,got it out of my system, back to work.
Winding path
Long overdue. Don’t think I’ve sat down and done a pencil drawing in a while. Computers are sucking my soul dry. Needed to escape so I sat down and drew this at the kitchen table while my boys were having a lively discussion about hacking Minecraft.
Star Wars Blips: Lightsaber
May the 4th be with you! Here’s a fun little BB-8 short I storyboarded.
Little Bridge Sketch
Doodling while waiting for some downloads to finish. Painted this washed out little bridge.
Snowy Peak
If I can’t go to the mountains then the mountains will come to me. Painted this snowy landscape to remind myself that places outside of the office exist.
Fleet Week beach day
Spent the weekend with the boys at the beach. Its fleet week and the air show was pretty inspirational. Here is a little watercolor I did of the Blue Angeles screaming past Crissy Fields.

His painting the Theologue. was always one of my favorites. I must have tapped into its influence while storyboarding this scene from Star Wars Rebels.
Showdown in the Sith Temple
Found this while cleaning up the rats nest which is my art folder. Vader vs Ahsoka Tano in the sith temple. Painted it while storyboarding on the Twilight_of_the_Apprentice. It was a really fun episode to work on and worthy of some in-house fan art.
Brush Painting
Playing around with some new digital oil photoshop brushes by Kyle Webster.
