The Station






















"The Station Recording Company" ink and digital 2011

Last Thursday me and my friend TJ (check out his band String Bridges here) attended Tamara Beatty's CD release party for her newest album February Bloom (listen to some of her music here). It was a lot of fun with lots of great music, dancing and all around good vibes.

A little while ago Tamara had commissioned me to create a piece for her friends over at
The Station Recording Co., seen above. I was able to meet them at her show as well when she gave them a framed copy of my illustration, which was pretty awesome.

Make sure to check out their site and The Station Recording artist Clea Roddick.

Listen to the song "Hush" from Tamara Beatty after the jump!

sailor girl



















Listen to the song "When I'm With You" off of Best Coast's terrific debut album that was released last year below.

I wonder if Ronald McDonald will ever make a comeback?

ink girl























Just a fairly quick drawing from my sketchbook, playing with ink. I did a quick rough of the girl with a colerase pencil, then used a calligraphy nib for the line work. I added values using an ink wash, as well as adding a bit of texture. I filled in the background with some markers.

I haven't been getting a lot of drawing done the past few days as I have been trying to get my new web site done before the holidays. And here it is!

Big shout out to my good buddy Cory that gave me a hand with figuring out a bunch of the code, which is pretty foreign to me.
