Nightmare by Chris Sanders / Bobby Chiu

Title: Nightmare

Drawn by one of my favorite directors and friend - I asked Chris Sanders to collaborate on a piece where he would draw and I would paint. Here it is! Hope you like it.

What my students are doing at Schoolism!

This is an example of what my students are currently working on for my class at Schoolism. This work was done by Duane, who I believe is my oldest student yet, he's 70 years old and works harder than most people I know. I think he's kicking serious butt!!!

My next class at Schoolism starts on February 18th, click here for additional information on how to sign up, or feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Also, I am planning on putting together a apprenticeship type class on drawing and painting caricatures. This class will be more advanced for those who want to really push themselves. I haven't gotten everything figured out yet on what exactly I will cover, but I do know that it will be hardcore. I will put a lot into it to make it worth your while. Any suggestions of what you would like to learn from me, I'm all ears!

Clown Be Gone

New painting "Clown be Gone" painted as a promotional piece for Richard Solomon Artists Representative.











I need to thank my good friend and talented artists Anthony Kosar for lending me a clown mask that he designed and made. I used his mask for reference and decided to keep my character close to his design as a nod to him and his great work. Check out Anthony's work here. Thanks Anthony, you da man!
