Here’s a cool new Space Invaders themed video from the Norwegian band, Röyksopp, and their upcoming album, Junior.

Brent- Work in Progress 2

Here’s the latest version of Brent.  It’s close to the final version, I think.  I’m still tweaking the background, and I have a few small details to finish on him, such as giving his shoe a tiny bit of texture, but it’s not much.  I had to put him together for the portfolio at this stage, so I thought I’d show him off, since he looks pretty complete now.

I’m using a trial version of Photoshop CS4.  I’ve only got a few more days left before the trial runs out, and I’ll be sad to see it go.  Unfortunately, I can’t afford to get the new version (I’m still on CS1!), but the ability to rotate the canvas while painting is a GODSEND!

This is just about one of the coolest things ever!  It’s from a great blog called Everything is Terrible.

I’m experimenting with different painting techniques in my recent character series, “Portlandia”.  I haven’t settled on a particular style yet, but that’s okay.  Once I figure out what I like, I’m going to go back and unify all the character designs so that they match.  Although, they shouldn’t match too much.  The final look should be pretty eclectic, incorporating some flat graphic elements next to more painterly ones.

Here’s the latest painting of Lisa Marie, featuring a loose energetic painting style.
