Kennedy

Another niece, Kennedy. She turns 4 today, but these are based on her at 3. She has enough personality for two kids, so she gets two portraits. I did the ballet one first then painted the other one using the existing face.

My niece Hannah. 3 years old.

Individual Tenenbaums

Here are the individual characters from my “The Royal Tenenbaums” illustration. The characters that were to go in the picture frames are less finished since they would be shrunk down. The Owen Wilson is from a drawing I did of him when I was in high school, that’s why it looks different from the others.

The Browns

Quick sketches of my friends. I'm playing around with the idea of offering to create custom online avatars...along these lines.

Thriller Redux

(Due to my strong personal convictions, I wish to stress that this film in no way endorses a belief in the occult.)
Blake's Thrill'r
When I was a kid I loved Michael Jackson's music videos. I would watch "Thriller" and "The Making of Thriller" all the time. When I was a child no artist touched me the way Michael Jackson did....wait, what?!

I would reenact Thriller randomly. Because of this my brother Kelly decided to shoot this super-8 film of me. He also did the makeup.
