Some storyboards from the summer done with a different approach then I've ever tried (or been asked to do). The boards were meant to reflect the look of the final video, which was an animated/graphic design video.
Always a good challenge to think in shape instead of line, it usually produces some interesting and unexpected results. Especially when you have a short deadline and no time to think...
A piece from last summer that I never posted and just found while digging for some reference. Its oil and acrylic on board, that started with a purposely gaudy underlay of rainbow colors that I glazed again and again with bluish-white washes in order to give the ice a feeling of transparency and reflected light. A great suggestion from Andrea Wicklund.

Thought it was time to take a break from the marker sketches and work on something new in my sketchbook to push myself a bit.
Here are a couple of quick 15 minute gouache sketches.
Looking at a still frame from the movie "George Washington"... Another from "2001: A Space Odyssey"... And trying to recapture a walk home from memory...
Some sketches while looking at magazines and while watching "Man on Fire". Trying to see how simply I can state these sketches and working on designing my mark-making as much as possible.
I just saw that this came out in the most recent ESPN The Magazine. I am really happy with how this turned out, especially because I see some elements that have been developing in my sketch books show up in a finished piece.
The thumbnail layout and idea phase...
And a couple of the elements I created with pencil and marker that I scanned and colored digitally...
