FLOOD

Some of you may have heard of the crazy weather thats been going down in my town of Atlanta lately. Flooded homes and theme parks, closed streets. I admit i felt kind of selfish a bit when i was upset because I was trying to move during the whole ordeal, but in my defense I didnt know how serious it was till I looked on the news. My prayers go out to all the families who have lost there homes and the peoples' lives taken in the flooding recently. Keep your head up Atlanta, we'll pull through it. Peace and God bless.

Captain Caaaaaaave Maaaaaaaaaaan!!! (meeting drawing)

Lose interpretation of Captain Caveman. Just for kicks during a meeting.

Im Baaaaaaaaaack!!!

Man Ive been real busy the last couple of months but your man Biv is back baby! Been doing a little freelance on the side and things at work started to pick up a little bit so sorry for the delay in posts.

So in latest news, Ive been working with my "boi" Joe Karg on these comic pages for the last 2 weeks. I have to say, putting these pages together has been one of the most rewarding things Ive done in my life! The story is cool and interesting and Karg provided some killer layouts and pencils for this project. Let's hope it gets picked up so you guys can see more. This is a random drawing I did of the main character during a meeting we had the other day about some of the pages.

Check out the first few pages and drop a line: Comic pages link

Happy 24th Birthday!!!

Well my birthday was yesterday, but I had a little free time with the celebrating and stuff to do a quick post. Been really busy lately, going back and forth between Atlanta and Kansas City, work in the day, and freelance by night. Hopefully within the next few weeks things will die down a little. My dad turned 50 this past week as well so I had to come home and celebrate with the fam and all. Appreciate all the messages on facebook and the phone calls. Hope everyone's life has been cool. Can't wait to see what everyone's doing. Anyways bout to hit the bed, hope everyone had a good weekend. Peace and God bless.

BD vs DS

Ta da! Here are some of the first few sketches from Boozer Doodle vs Dr Sketchys, from the other night. The first few drawings were really rough because I haven't been life drawing like I should lately and I was trying out pastels for the first time in a while. I was trying to work on my color palette, but what looked good in dim light looked really out there once the sun rose. Some I ended up liking better in the light and others I couldn't stand to look at. Lol. Oh well hope in the next session the lighting will be a little brighter. Hope you guys enjoy. I'll post the next round tomorrow. Take care.

Happy belated President's Day!

Grammy Nights

Just a sketch I did a few weeks ago that I wanted to post because of the whole grammy thing the other day. It was okay. Most of those shows have kind of lost their spark. What's with Chris Brown? He might get like 9 years for beating down Rihanna! Anyways I have went to Dr Sketchy's vs Boozer Doodle the other night, so Ill post those drawings up soon when I scan them all in. Take care.

Black President

Current Beats_q-tip

Happy New Years guys! Been busy at work getting back into the swing of things. Had a nice little break with the family for the holidays and been in my little hole ever since I got back into ATL. Anyways, with this new year I wanted to add a little more of my personal tastes into my blog just so you can learn a little more about me. "Current Beats" is just me trying not to be lame I guess. Lol. I wanted to share something for all you hip hop fans out there that miss the good 'ol days when hip hop was about the flow, the beats, the hooks, the punchlines, the energy, and most importantly the fun and love of the art. Now when you listen to the radio its a bunch of noise; no life and no soul. That's why I'm recomending this rare gem that totally blew me away from the first listen. This is one of those albums that grow on you and is appreciated more with each spin. Real 'ol school lyrics and synethic drums that reminds you of the old quest, but still fresh enough to be a fresh new experience. I admit when A Tribe Called Quest came out I was just starting kindergarden, but I latter learned to appreciate the contribution they have attributed to the hip hop culture. Anyways, this is a longer that usual post but I just wanted everyone to take notice to this album. I hope everyone had a good holiday, and hope everyone is ready for this new year of 2009! May everyone have a joyous and prosperous year and wish all of you success in the future. Take care and God bless.

SPAWN!!!

Havent posted in a while so I just wanted to put something up. We were talking about Spawn at work which inspired this. Nothing special, just wanted to test out some brushes. Ive been looking at a lot of concept work stuff lately. Hope you enjoy.

Storytime!!!

These are storyboards for a music video I did for my girlfriend Brandi. It was for a class project and the story revolves around a pregnant teen who goes through different situations and finally seeks to find help through the church. The story was a cool idea but there was a little confusion with some of the details which is why there are continuity problems. You live and you learn I guess. It was a cool exercise and I hope to work on more like this sometime in the future. I was a little worried at first, but she got an A on the project and her teacher loved it. Funny how things work sometimes in life. Im glad I could help her on it and I hope she knows how much I appreciate her for giving me the opportunity. Maybe I should tell her then? Lol Gotta go. Hope you all had a good weekend.

Happy Halloween!!!

Pirates!!!

Sorry I havent posted more of my story in a while. Still trying to get settled in the new place. These are some ideas and sketches for the 3 main pirate crew and the other soldiers for ship; some peter pan and hook, and tic toc the crocodile. I cant believe how old these are. The designs have really come a long way since these were put together. Hope you enjoy! More on the way.

Boar's Head

Things started to pick up on my end again. Just a little sketch inbetween games at work. No kind of significance really, just a sketch to loosen up a bit.

SciFiDude aka i need to come up with better names

Something I was playing with after work. I found some new brushes for photoshop that Ive been messing around with. Getting some really cool effects and it's freeing up my hand a lot with the different textures you can get. I love doing faces sometimes. So iconic like a poster for a movie or something. You really connect more with the character that way. The next one I'm going to do a full body just to bring it all together. Done moving now but now I have to get my car towed! Crazy. Hope you guys have a good weekend.

Hook again

Started taking another direction with Hook this go around. Had to make the character more sympathetic. Feels like so long ago when I did these designs. Lol. Just had to move so things got kind of messed up over on my end and my computer caught a bad virus so I havent been able to back up everything yet. Hope you guys have a good one. Enjoy.

Thundercats HO!

Little something I did while taking a break at work. I was looking at some of Cheeks stuff and wanted to do a sketch of Liono. I always loved this show as a kid. Not too crazy about the new 3d movie coming out but we'll see. Anyway hope you guys have a good one.
