Thunder god on the eve of a new year

Hola amigos and amigas!

Ah yes the end of another year, and new and better year to come! Happy New year to everyone! whether it is 2010 already or not where you are from, I hope you guys have a blast and wish a prosperous and joyful one to you and your love ones.

And to that a post by moi! I done did up the thunder god Thor. I have been into drawing marvel super heroes lately. I guess because I have always dreamed of being a comic penciller. Perhaps one day.....ahhhhh. anyhoo, here it is! more posting in the coming week. so come on back to the ville when you can folks! be safe and remember......

UPDATERZ

hola amigos and amigas!!!!

how is everyone doing? first off i would like to thank the people out there who decided to follow my little ole blog and checks out my stuff from time to time. it means a lot to me. just want to say thank you :)

so here's an update finally. still been on my quest with the digital paint. this particular one was a value study. i'm trying to keep in mind to keep it at least three values. i'm not sure i did it here heh.

anywhoo, went to the little art show at Disney Animation studio yesterday evening, where lorelay bove had some painting she had done while on vacation. very nice stuff by a very nice young woman. actually saw glen keane there and was geeking out like a fanboy lol.

after the show my brother and i decided to wing it and go to melrose ave to see what was going on over there. saw jay leno interviewing infront of a bar/restaurant called the village idiot, where he was interviewing random people on the street. very cool indeed. after flipping out watching jay we headed across the street to the vinyl toy store munkey king to see what was going on there...low and behold there was a launch party happening there for the artist dave pressler. good vibe, good music and good artwork. ya can't get any better than that eh.

oh wait, then i got news by email from victoria ying that i have won a raffle from her blog and that i get to choose two outta three prints of a series of retro paintings! so yes life is good :)

here's the work
