A fun drawing toy to get....

...I came across this article and video on the new Inkling by Wacom. Seems like a fun little tool to have to record sketches from your sketchbook to a piece of paper. I'll need to try it out first, though.

I'll catch you all later.

Inside the Orange

Hey all! Wanted to let you that the fine folks at Inside the Orange are producing shirts with my art on them. When you get a chance check out what's being produced.
I do have to say that I dig the quality of the shirts that the graphics are being produced on. Also like how the art looks as well. Here's a direct link to order a shirt or two......three?

I'll be expecting a few of you rocking these fine t-shirts. I'll catch you all later.

Take it easy,
Axel

Sketches from Draw Bitch 3

It was awesome...my buddy Snakebit that runs the gallery set me up with a drawing table and chair. So for the whole evening I sat down and doodle away the night away. had a few drinks and talked with a few folks about my drawing process. I even did a interview for a new video podcast that will be coming out in iTunes soon. I'll let you all know about that when it comes out. Thinking about it hopefully it doesn't come out ok. :P
Oh yes...I uploaded two drawings that I did at the event...these pieces were done on 3'x17' bristol paper. These were strips that I cut out from bigger pads that were used as comic pages. Let me know what you think? Well, I'll catch you all later.

Cheer,
Axel

Myself and my mentor...

...pictured here circa 1997 at Art Center College of Design. Norman Schureman was such an awesome teacher/mentor that I learned so much from. Because of him...he pushed and encouraged me to be the artist/designer that I am today. I greatly miss him.

I thank my sister who pulled this picture out from her collection of pics sometime ago. I now have it on my drawing board.

A page from my Sketchbook...

Hey all, how are you all doing? Hopefully well...and trucking along. How about the U.S. being downgraded to AA from a AAA rating? I think it's sad...we're a bunch of losers in this country. Being born and raised here in the U S of A...I will lump myself with the good and the BAD coming from this country....now the stock market has took a dive...by 600+ points...oh joy.

I wanted to upload a page from my new sketchbook for all of you to check out....let me know what you all think? Good....OK....or shit?

No matter what happens in the past few days, weeks, months, years in this world we live in.... Keep on drawing...stay creative!

Take care,
Axel

Sneak peek...

Sneak peek of one of my doodles being produced as t-shirt graphics through Inside the Orange. These shirts will be coming out for the Fall/Winter seasons.
Looking forward how the rest of the shirts will turn out. I believe these shirts will be available online through the Inside the Orange site.

I'll catch you all later.
