Disney at Starbucks

It was an interesting evening, I was working on some artwork that looks like it's not gonna be used for what I intended it. So maybe ill post it up here eventually :) But right now I shant. Any who I was at the Starbucks that my future roomie works. I was introduced to a gentleman who works as a History professor at Cal State Fullerton. It turns out that he was a Disney animator for 20 plus years! He worked on just about everything from Oliver and Company to Treasure Planet! It was crazy to be able to talk to a man who worked on stuff that was such a huge part of my childhood. It was cwazy. And I met a new friend names Kelsey, she was cool.

Coffee Time

These are some illustrations that I finally got around to finishing. I drew and water colored these while subbing quite sometime ago after a friend of mine suggested that I draw coffee-women. I thought it would be a very fun project so I took up the challenge. when I was done painting them I was afraid I would ruin them if I inked them by hand, so I decided to ink them digitally. I am glad I did.

They are Latté Cappuccino Espresso and Mocha.
I had a lot of fun with these enjoy!

I wasn't having the best day, this gave me a much needed smile.
Thanks Shane.

Pixie The Coffee Drinker

The project was to take a picture of something modern or "everyday" and weave something sci-fi or fantasy into it. So I made up this litte gal, she is a pixie and she is checking her myspace. It cant get any more mundane than that.

Oh she is a huge coffee drinker, witht he magic i the world depleeting at the rate that it is, she has to turn to caffene to give her the energy she needs to fly about.

Latté in the Park

It kind of sounds like a title to a Meg Ryan movie huh?



I had the most relaxing day today. There is a park that I having driving by almost everyday since I moved into my new place, and every time I pass it I say to my self, "self... lets go to that park." So today I finally did. Its in this little valley thing behind a little strip mall and below street level, so its nicely tucked away. When you drive by you can only a little slice of it for a few seconds due to the amount of foliage and because its in that little valley. I got on my bike and I rode down there. While there I enjoyed my lunch under a tree [while having some pellegrino as well] and read my Bible. It was beautiful. If you haven't made time to sit under a tree and just relax do it. I was able to just take it the whole park in. There were birds singing and hopping about, butterflies wafting in the gentle breeze, ducks waddling in the grass, and squirrels running a muck.

And the best part is about my latté. I got too hot riding my bike to enjoy it, so I just wrote it off and figured I would drink it later. But after sitting and eating lunch in the shade the breeze picked up and the clouds masked the sky and lo and behold I got chilly! So after enjoying a sunny ride in the park with a cool breeze I also got to enjoy my warm latté while reading under a tree. God hooked me up today! To quote U2, "...it was a beautiful day..."
