San Diego Comic Con 2010
So I'm finally going back to San Diego for Comic Con! It'll be only my second time attending, but I'm very excited! I had such a good time the last time I went in 2005 and I've been dying to go back. I'd love to hear any suggestions of must-see panels, events, or shindigs. I'd especially like the inside scoop on any great animation artists that will be selling books, so if anyone knows of any, don't hesitate to share.

Some New Changes
Hi all,
Some of you might have noticed some new changes around here. I finally got around to putting together a website. It's nothing special, but definitely a lot more organized than just having floating images here and there like what I've had for the past few years. Now visitors to my blog will have access to the rest of my work (ie. Photography & Videos) and vice versa. Visitors to my site will have access to my blog. I'm using a service called Smugmug.com. I've only been using it for a few days now, but I'm blown away by how great its' gallery features are, in particular how fantastic the videos are streamed and displayed. I'm even more impressed by how easy it is to customize your site. Of course though, I can't ever seem to make anything THAT easy for myself. If you really want snazzy features, like integrating your blog into your site (as I've done here), well then you have to get your hands dirty with CSS and HTML. This basic little site might not seem like anything special, but MAN have I been knee deep into code for the past 4 days! My brain's fried and I'm spent...so for now, this will have to do. It's time to get back to creating.
Oh and now that I'm able to designate a page to just my illustrations, I'll be blogging a lot more, utilizing my blog to showcase my photography as well as talking about other interests and topics. I hope you all enjoy the new format.

Night Fury
Well I haven't had the chance to see 'How to Train Your Dragon' yet, but I wanted to show someone my design and color process and how I would reinterpret an already existing design. I thought Night Fury would make a good subject since it's current...plus, you're never too old for fan art, right?
Unfortunately I also have not had the chance to buy the Art of book yet either, so as far as my reference material, I had to make do with the couple of images of Night Fury that are available on the internet.
What do you all think?
