Nice stop-motion film short from 96 by Tim Hittle. I remember seeing this years ago, but saw it again at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco. Great storyline and execution.

Inspired by the film “The War of the Roses”, this mixed media illustration is about the distress from love lost.

These concept sketches were originally created in pen/ink on paper. I then scanned and repeated a vertical column to create “endpages” on my handmade book portfolio.

Mavericks Rogue Wave

February 13, 2010. At the Mavericks Surf Competition, two huge waves hit the beach, knocking dozens of spectators off their feet, causing several injuries, toppling booths, unnerving many (like myself) and sent some unfortunate souls swaying in the water while numerous boxes of equipment were swallowed up–all within a few seconds.

Happy Valentines Day! Here is a photo I took with angel wings, which I adapted for Valentines with heart and scroll elements. The photo was converted to a cyan duotone, which simplifies the piece and brings out the red tones.

Artwork: Rivera Dragon

Riviera Dragon

Posted by Sherrie Thai of Shaire Productions.

This commissioned piece was created for a 1965 Riviera car rooftop. It was a nice opportunity to work in a different medium and an all-around fun project. On the surface, it seems to be an abstract tribal design, but there are hidden objects–dragon, skulls, and a bird. The car shop will then take the design and airbrush it onto the Riviera. I’m super excited about this, so I’ll post pics after the project is finalized.
