New Toy and New Project

After months of deliberating I finally saved enough to buy me a Wacom Cintiq screen!
Damn thing aint cheap but I got me a refurbished one off of Macmall for just $1300!! - which is a some what of a bargain compared to a $2000 brand new model.
I got the 21ux which is 21 inch of screen awesomeness! Good bye 6inch tablet! Goodbye carpal tunnel syndrome!
Anyway this is what I came up with recently.

Not quite sure what it is yet it but I'm kinda liking it. It may just set the theme for future projects.

The Venture Bros. Season 4 premiere tonight at midnight on Cartoon Network. Check it out ya'll!!!

Tree Study

Tree sketches for new project.

Discovery

Discovered two pieces of work I did not too long ago that never really saw the light of day.
This concept piece was one of five submissions I sent to a client that was later rejected.One of my all time favorites--a comical portrait inspired by Japanese woodblock prints. I did this one for a friend as a gift to his girl.

"2 Art 4 TV" Gallery Show

"2 Art 4 TV" Gallery Show
Originally uploaded by Lipson Robotics

Opening night for the 4th annual 2 Art 4 TV gallery show. About a bazillion people showed up and crammed into the small gallery. Chaos ensues and I get fined by the police for stepping out with beer can on hand. Good times!!
I didn't sell any paintings that night--perhaps I priced it to high? Maybe I shouldve noted that prices are negotiable.

The Venture Bros. Season 4 Preview!!

Adultswim posted the season 4 preview trailer of The Venture Bros. It's exciting to see from the trailer what they've done and how they've handled our backgrounds. The production team over at Korea has upped the ante once again and judging from the trailer it seems like they're really getting the hang of replicating our backgrounds. Everything looks fantastic so kudos to the guys over at Korea!!
Season 4.2 airs on October 18th at midnight so be sure to check it out.

Sketch Preview

Here are the drawn versions of the two pieces I currently have up at the Erebuni Gallery in Williamsburg.
The finished pieces can be seen when the show opens this Friday. Opening reception is Friday Sept 18th at from 6-9pm.

Secret Identities

Due to my seemingly perpetual absence from blogging I have failed to post several significant events. One of them being the release of "Secret Identities: The Asian American Superhero Anthology".
The anthology includes the work I did in collaboration with Yul Kwon last year along with a multitude of amazing art and stories by various artists like Gene Luen Yang, Greg Pak, and Christine Norrie. Many thanks to Jeff Yang, Parry Shen, Keith Chow, and Jerry Ma for letting me be a part of this group of talents.
The book has received rave reviews and it's available in Amazon, Barnes and Nobles and any major comic retailers near you.
