Introducing, Matty P

This is my friend Matt. Months ago he asked me to do a drawing of him and at first it was going to be a simple sketch but I turned it into this mess of a picture. I wanted to incorporate a lot of things/events from his life into it, so all the little bits and pieces in this picture have been his job locations, skateboard poses, traveled roads, childhood stomping grounds, and actual clothes. He's a character for sure.

2000 and Shine

Well, 2009 is kicking off on a good note. I just found out this guy was accepted into the Society of Illustrators Los Angeles 47 show and catalog. I had done this piece as part of a final project series for a class last Spring.
