Farewell, Koller.

This was made for a dear co-worker and friend who is leaving for greener pastures. He is an artist who brags about being part Cherokee. Travis Koller, you will be missed.

Legend of Korra

I am shamelessly smitten with the new Avatar series, Legend of Korra. And this is my participation in groupie fan art.

Be the leaf.

Fart bending.

Also check out Fred Stewart's blog. He is responsible for some of the fabulous backgrounds of the show.

Meant for an earlier Travistys Beard topic from last month, song title.

The Greatest - Cat Power

This little project went through many revisions... Thanks for the awesome crit, Goro, Jason & Fred.

An Oasis...

...among uncertainty and absence of sympathy. Gentle whistling, tea clinks, slivers of window light. How lovely it was to have discovered something like this.

The Eye Must Travel

Diana Vreeland.
"Don't just be your ordinary dull self. Why don't you be ingenious and make yourself into something else?"
" I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity."
" The only elegance is in the mind... if you've got that the rest really comes from it."
"Elegance is innate. It has nothing to do with being well dressed. Elegance is refusal."
"I'm terrible with facts. But I always have an idea. If you have an idea, you're well ahead."
"Imagination is your reality"
"Never worry about facts, just present an image to the public."
"Without emotion, there is no beauty."
"Never fear being vulgar, just boring."
"I'm a great believer of vulgarity if its got vitality."
"A little bad taste is like a nice splash of paprika. We all need a splash of bad taste, it's healthy...Its no taste I'm against."

Late Travisty

Travis Dragon Beard. Naughty fire spitting Koller.

Sketches and Smudges

Wonder Women

Travisty's Beard November post: Comic Book Heroes. I'm not a hardcore comic book fan...but when I was younger, I remember my only American female role model for a super hero was Wonder Woman. I was pretty bummed because I didn't really care for super buff flying men with deep voices and she was my only alternative. Now that I'm older, I have a deeper appreciation for her.

Summer Sketches

I've been keeping two sketchbooks this summer.

It's been a mix of painting, drawing and scrapbooking.

I collect framed insects and small taxidermy and decided to study my Mantis.

I like this spread because a very unhappy 'Wilfred' looks like he's shaming me, "Really? You stuck me here amongst these shitty drawings?" I did it for fun for my Art Director, Tim Lamb.


TimmyTom! My talented art director who I am learning so much from! So awesome he's tearing me a new one :D He currently had pink eye while spewing good advice, so I decided to draw him.

A sideshow act in the Barnaby at Outsidelands--lovely lady on a ten foot unicycle.

My new good friend, Francesco, who I sketch with in the city. He thinks I'm a monster :)

After moving back home, there was crazy mix of turmoil and inspiration. I was cleaning and discovered an old family photo. If it's not obvious, I'm the badass with the pink plastic cake that doubles as a keyboard.
