Pixel Strut
Pixel Strut
Another snippet from the Pixel Art Project, which is one of a few but the main one going. This dudes got a pretty wicked strut. With as few pixels as I had to work with, it turned pretty hard pretty quick but I like the product. Check out the making of here for all the janky steps.

Hello all! I make music under the moniker Prescription Strength Hugs and have been doing so for a whole lot of years. I've decided to put out a compilation collecting tracks from the first four EPs I made during 2005-2007. There is some good stuff in here, some rougher stuff but it's all the stuff that's made me who I am as a maker today. All instruments played and songs written by me. Hope you enjoy! Take a look at the newly set up Bandcamp page to download this puppy for free (but don't let that stop you from spending copious amounts of digi-cash on it). Thanks.

A ghost story of a playlist for the spookiest month. And a skull floating in an ocean listening to music on bone headphones?
Been working on early stages of an ABC book. All pretty goofy alliteration with some fun animals. Twenty six is a lot of letters...
Beemo Playing Pong
Adventure Time is never too far from my mind when doodling. BMO killing some down time.
Legends of Rock #06 - Paul McCartney
Fab four going strong with the guy holding it down on the low end and writing a whole lot of tunes - some not the best, but some timeless and wonderful. Don't get much bigger a rockstar than Paul.
Process Post: Cover Art
Again, a view into the way I work for better or worse. Process of the cover art for DJ Lani Love’s winter mixtape Snow To Stars. Projects for Lani always get me to work in a more sleek, hip fashion. Not much room for smiling pixelart or batmen, but I’d like to think I can do cool too. You be the judge (I’ve decided this is going to be pretty cool if I stick to it, but your confidence is highly appreciated).
Step 1 & 2.
Left: Extra rough sketch for the basic layout and concept. I went with the snow and stars. Right: Less awful rendering of Ms. Love. Coolness tip: head slightly raised, shoulders slightly back? Coolness. Who knows why.
Step 3 & 4.
Left: Serious cleanup of the face and hair with a rough shape for the space-blouse. Right: Her hair loaded the right side of the frame unexpectedly - so the sweet gloves and dropping the collar for a bit more asymmetrical balance.
Step 5.
Clean it all up. Next step will involve the tough decisions of shading, color, text, etc.
Check this guy out, his name is Daniel. This is some character design for a game I hope to make with some friends in the future for the mobile devices. For now, I'll keep dressing him up in dandy gear.
Another gig poster for the now Chicago-based DJ Lani Love. Changed up the style a bit this time to better portray her intended pop, disco and 80s setlist. I liked the look of the background on this so I made some wallpapers. You can get two versions of the wallpaper for your iPhone 4 or big old Droid right here.
