I drew these years ago for the OG Jingle Spells Album.

The PotterCast Summer tour 2009 Poster was modeled after HSM. Many people might have the printed poster but YOU could own the original art!!

Three huge sheets of tracing paper with art work for MoM's latest album.

A drawing I did way back in 2005 for a Harry Potter Tarot Card Live Journal Community. I got the Magician and it was of an older Harry. I made him wear his hair up as to show off his scar as a token of pride.

Commissions Complete

The Commissions are finally done! And it only took me a month and three days. But i did have over 25 to draw. :/ Sorry it took me so long, they took longer to draw than I expected. I probably wont have open-call commissions like this again for a while, if I do commissions again it will most likely be themed, like patronuses or you as food objects. Now would that be interesting to any of you out there? If so let me know by leaving me a comment.

Here are a few samples.

LeakyCon 2009

LeakyCon was awesome! It was awesome for many many reasons. Two of which were the premiere of the Finding Hogwarts Trailer. John and Bre did an awesome job! So cool!



The second was that I got to talk about art and drawing and Harry Potter all at the same time. I had two drawing sessions/talkings, one for anyone, and another for the Youth programing. Where we all drew a House Elf.

All of the Wizard Wrock was great. The Ball was a blast! Seeing wizards from all around the world was amazing!! But the cherry on top of a weekend full of cherries was hanging out with Michael Goldenburg! For 3 plus hours I got to talk to and pick the brain of an actual working Screenwriter. But not just any screenwriter one who had the honor of translating my favorite harry potter book to the silver screen! He was so awesome, we got to nerd out on Potter.

Squee

This is a random doodle I did of a Hogwarts student, when I asked some friends what house she looked like she would be in they said Hufflepuff and I agreed. :)

He Knows his Roots...

I just finished the Album art for Matt Maggiacomo latest album, Demons at the Helm. I had a lot of fun doing this for Matt, and he has really stepped it up for this album. If you liked his past workings as The Whomping Willows you have to hear this one. It's quite brilliant. Go Matt!

Here is a preview of the album.
(buy it)

Onward and Upward

I did some more art work for Ministry Of Magic!
I love these guys and have a blast drawing them, so it s win-win situation for me!
Can't wait to see you guys at LeakyCon!

Ryan lets try and avoid that barcode this time around. ;)

Houseelf Magic

This doodle is from DCA, It's a House Elf animation.
We drew them in the animation building (the best thing about DCA).

Not too good, but a lot of fun. :)

PC Doodle 182

Some Ravenclaw love, with a dash of Harry.

PC Doodle 181

HARMONY!
Evil Harry & Hermione mess with Ron's head and heart.

For some reason I thought they were naked when the locket made the evil Harry and Hermione. Am I crazy?

Sorry the PC Doodles have been so scattered, teaching take too much time :P

Veela

I drew this a while ago, I finally got around to coloring it the other night. It is not exactly what I see in my head when I read about the Veela, but it's close. Except I cant figure out how to make them look birdlike without making them look really stupid. I should research some old drawings and folklore on Harpies.

Qucik mini CC, I think that when a Veela mates with a human, she can only give birth to females. I dunno why, but it makes a lot of sence in my head. As for real Veelas I dunno how they mate and with whom. Maybe there are male Veelas, or a male version of something that is Veela-like but it's own species/race/what-ever all on its own. I DUNNO! :B

Post-Tourdum Decompression

When you are gone on a trip for a solid month of go go go and constant new stimulus everyday it can be hard wind back down into the everyday "toil" of regular life. Tour was that go go go for me, and it was a blast. But I am glad to be home. I was gone for a solid month! Thats never happened before! The month was one week of Royal Family Kids Camp (which needs a blog of its own), and then three weeks of touring and convention craziness, with a dash of comic con in the middle. Oh man did I have a wonderful time! Seeing new places, meeting TONS of people. Most of which were nice, and if you read my blog and I met you I can say YOU were oh so nice. Having had never seen the East Coast I was in wide-eyed astonishment of almost every detail, which amused my fellow travelers. Speaking of my fellow travelers, that is just the segway I needed to introduce my fellow travelers. They happened to be my favorite part about the trip. I had such a wonderful time with everyone! "Everyone" being my fellow PodCasters; John, Melissa, and Sue. Some cool merch girls; Bre and Sam. Some cool cats who know ancient ruins (aka my new fun way of saying web coding) Nick and Alex, along with a whole suite full of Leaky staffers. And probably the coolest kids of all, b/c they can make instruments make beautiful sounds, the bands; The Remus Lupins, The Womping Willows, and The Mudbloods. This was my first time hanging out with these kids for more than a few hours, and I gotta say that I am glad that I was able to. They are pretty cool :) and kinda talented ;). And all the silly jokes made a memorable tour into an unforgettable tour. Below are some inside jokes, doodles and pictures. ENJOY!
