The Dark Crystal


"When single shines the triple sun,
What was sundered and undone,
Shall be whole, the two made one,
By Gelfing hand, or else by none."

birthday present


So in a couple of days is my dads birthday, and he asked for an illustration... he is an architect and likes art... so I decided to make something refering to buildings, but also with a more artsy feeling...
I am not crazy about it... but I think it came out pretty good for being the second digital illo I have ever made.

lucky koi


will bring you lots of luck

Lucky


I have not been around lately and I have not been doing a whole lot of extracurricular art lately. I may not post for a while either. This is a design for "Griffin Day 5k" a day to support my family and my son. May 2oth 2009 he was diagnosed with Leukemia. The doctor told us we were lucky that it was Leukemia ALL because it has a 80-90% cure rate. Quote:"if your child is to get cancer, this is the one you want to get." We actually have been blessed by support from our family and community; we have been quite lucky in that regard.

If you want to learn more or support the Griffin Day 5k go here.

Design: My son with cells in an exploded out view to the left. Cancer cells (red circles) are intertwined with white blood cells (yellow circle for design sake) which then fade until there is no cancer cells. Purple is my sons favorite color, hence the purple shirt.

Wanna Give This Guy A Hug?


This week on SFG the theme was "Bears", and it made me wonder this: "Whatever happened to those adorable care bears that I used to watch as a kid?"
And sure enough.....that.
