Sousuke

Here is my digital take on Sousuke from Caricature-Japan. You can see his great work at http://so-suke.blogspot.com/. Below you can see him trading sketches with Brian Oakes.

Kruger

Here is my take on Sebastian Kruger. He is the subject of this month's caricature jam at the drawingboard.org. He may be the most famous caricaturist around. Here are the references used. You can see his awesome take on Sylvester Stallone below and more at http://sebastiankruger.org/index.htm.

Boxing and Tom

I spent the first part of my day going to Chiba to get a picture for Tom. As you can see he has a very cool style. You can check out his awesome work at http://blog.tomgraffiti.com/.

I spent the evening watching Hideyuki Watanabe compete in the Eastern Japan Newcomer's Tournament. After winning his four fights he fought for the Championship tonight. He fought well but lost the decision ending up in 2nd place. I have really enjoyed following his career and look forward to watching him fight again in the future.

Peewee Herman

Here is my quick take on Peewee Herman. A unique character from my childhood. Enjoy!

English Club

I was asked to design a t-shirt for the English club at the Junior high school I teach at. The English club wanted to have a uniform to wear at school functions. The students wanted me to do a group caricature. There are 16 people in all, the largest group I've drawn in to one picture. Above you can see the artwork and below you can see the club wearing the final product.

Guam Trip

My wife and I just came back from our trip to Guam. The water was warm and clear. The weather was great, and we had a chance to do some shopping and enjoy some of our favorite American restaurants. I still prefer Hawaii but we definately had a good time.
