iphonebook concept

So I think this concept is completely awesome and since I do alot of iPhone art it kind of makes me want to figure a way to replicate this and create an iphone story book.

new site for 3D and monster related projects

I started a new site for strictly 3D creations of monsters and creatures. There will mainly only be images posted of basic sketches, process and the final build of each creature. the projects posted on their now are mainly older things that you probably have already seen. I am planning to post one projects month of something 3D and dimensional.

too soon for christmas?

This is one of three Christmas designs I have submitted to the new MobileArt App.  This is loosely based off of a night-light design I did for work. made on iphone with Brushes app.

An Experiment in Cardboard Characters

I just completed this first CardBot character made out of cardboard and a few sticks of hot glue. I wanted to try to make something with material other then sculpey or poly-clay, to mix things up. What I really like about the cardboard is the 'poor mans' approach to making and creating stuff. It costs next to nothing and takes very little time to take a design from an idea to a dimensional working sample.If I get enough time I would like to have an entire army of cardboard robots by the end of the week.

Iconic Halloween Creatures - Headless Horsemen

This is a iphone sketch I made for the mobile art drawing-a-week feature. You can see more images here.

Jack-o-Lantern in sthe style of me

2006 Honda Ridgeline

After making the modern day muscle cars I wanted to do a quick sketch of my current ride, the Ridgeline. It still needs some work on the front end and windshield perspective. but for now I am pretty happy with the result.

First sketch done on the newly released Brushes v2.0 I really like the exact pixel selection for the brush size and obviously the layers tool. I keep forgetting the layers exist and so far focus on the brush and eraser tools.

Red Skele-ghost

This Skele-Ghost was sketch n my iPhone with the Brushes app. Still a favorite application for drawing on the go. This character is just a simple study for ghoulish monsters for a Halloween project I am working on. I will have more details to post in the next few weeks regarding the Haunted house I am working on in Chicago.  I am currently coming up with themes and characters to present at our first meeting.

Ghostly appearance

Made on iphone with brushes app. A quick ghost study trying to tie in fog and form.

The zombie theme continues! This started as a quick snapshot I took of my self with my iPhone. Then I imported it into the camera bag app and picked the theme Cinema to add the theater wide screen ration (black bars). Then I de-constructed my face with the Brushes app and altered my appearance to a Zombie-Bot character.

well, George Washington made it back to my sketchbook. I did a 24" oil painting back in 2004 for a painting class I took in college. I will post the other sketches and original oil painting I did back then later this week.

There is a cool new app that came out for the iphone called Layers. It allows your to digitally draw on your iphone and utilize layers alot like photoshop does.

In this post I am including a snap shot of how I used layers to create a simple scratchboard. I like doing illustration in which your main tool is more of an eraser then a pen/pencil. I think its called reductive drawing.

Week 22: falling

Originally uploaded by KevinB (monstar)

It has been a while since I did an iphone painting project for the weekly brushes group on Flickr. This weeks theme is FALLING. It probably was a good thing I had a reference folder of over 100 people falling from a past project to pick out the perfect pose.

for some reason I really enjoy silhouette artwork. I made another pirate ship fleet. The ships design work well for this style and adding the little ropes and tie offs give quick subtle detail.

While most people sketched out classic Smooth Criminal and Black and White MJ, I choose for the more rockin costume of Zombie, Micheal. I wonder if his corpse will look like this or if after so many years of plastic surgery it will just forever hold its form for archeologist to dig up millions of years from now.

While sketching this out, I realized how closely his make-up resembles that of the Twilight Zone episode "Eye of the Beholder"

New fun side project - Rat Rod Cruiser bike

her she is, my first rat rod cruiser bike. It is basically a pile of parts i've collected of of craigslist and garage sales. I'll post some real art soon, but I wanted to squeeze in one more custom project. technically, this bike will be an art bike.

2009 DIY electric drumkit

It took a few weekends to complete, but the new and improved DIY E-drums are done. Over the next couple of months I will probably up grade to a roland dual trigger mesh snare drum and a Yamaha dual trigger ride cymbal. The current setup sounds really good and even feels pretty solid when playing on it.

Alesis Trigger IO Drum module (USB powered drum brain)
MacBook Pro running BFD 2.0 (over 5 gigs of sampled percussion sounds)
DW practice pad drum kit converted to Electric drumset with Radio Shack 273-0073 sensors
2 Roland single trigger percussion pads
1 Yamaha Cymbal trigger
DW Bass drum pedal
Rockband2 bass drum pedal (works great as a hi-hat controller)
