Messing around some more


Just messing around again with another piece. I've been drawing a lot of warriors lately. Don't know what that's all about.

These are usually how my sketches go sometimes. Some cool stuff here and there but no clear story. Ill try to put something a little more coherent up next time.

AWA (aka its been too long)


Its been a long time since I've posted anything. I have been super busy with work, freelance, and a few surprises that I'll reveal soon. I am super excited about the projects I've got on my plate and I can not wait to share some of my experiences, my achievements, and my disappointments. I thank God every day for the journey I am embarking on, and I appreciate all the love and support from family, friends, and from every day strangers.

I recently just attended the Anime World Atlanta con this past weekend and had a blast. Me and my good buddy Eric, had an incredible time and I hope there's more to come like it in the future. I managed to pull a couple of illustrations together for the my booth and I can not thank enough all the support from just random people, who really appreciated the work I did and their generous comments. Quick shout out to Diana Chen, who recommended I should attend the event. I admit I not the biggest enthusiast of anime, but the ones I do love, have definitely had an influence in my work and my life. From the fast-paced and mythology of Naruto, to the detailed subtlety of human emotion and epic scale of the beauty of nature in the films of Miyazaki; the works of Japanese animation has shaped the way we perceive art from other cultures. Anime has definitely been catalyst, at least for me, to broaden my horizons of how imagination can create something different and new. Their are so many stories that have been untold and so many new techniques to be discovered in our little artsy fartsy community.

Anyways, before I get too long winded, I wanted to share these pieces of Goku from Dragonball and Totoro from My Neighbor Totoro. Two characters that have shaped my childhood and even influenced the way I see the world through my art. I hope you guys enjoy and be on the look out for more things to come soon. I promise. Be happy and be blessed, and I'll clock in soon.

MÉNAGE Á DRAW!!! or How I learned to stop worrying and love the drawing (UPDATE!)


So its been awhile. Been a little busy and a little lazy lately. Holidays you know. Anyways I just started a new webcomic blog with my friends Joe, and Ford today!!! Together we are Ménage Á Draw!!! Get it? There's three of us and we draw! Hahahahaha..........moving on; the concept of the webcomic is just to create stories, brush up our skills, and just have fun. The three of us will switch duties between writing/layout/pencils, inks, and coloring/lettering. Every Sunday we will put up a new comic finished or not, and maybe some other goodies in between. The first story is an introduction, with Joe taking writing and penciling duties, Ford doing inks, and me doing colors and lettering. I hope you guys enjoy! I will post some more stuff this week just to keep my blog going as well. Take care.

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

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.

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.

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.
