All things considered... I can't really show what I do at work since it takes like 5 years to build anything at Disney... not like a game or movie where you get to show your concept work relatively quickly. I just generally don't have the time or stamina to work on MORE work when I get home. Evidently unlike other jobs, mine leaves me mentally and physically decimated. So I don't. I post small sketches that take me about 20 minutes each. It's nice, but leaves me horribly out of practice. So having the nintendo DS as a pocket paint pallet has been awesome so far. I can imagine someone getting really good at painting just by always having something handy to observe nature or what have you.

It's also nice to have a gallery to auto-post to as well. Link: http://colors.brombra.net/ A lot of the art is pretty bad but there are a few gems in there. If you don't already have a DS and a Modded DS at that I highly recommend the Cyclos DS Evolution from ModChip.com It has a really nice operating system and you don't have to do anything besides drag and drop files into it from the provided USB drive. Plus as an added bonus... if you care- you can get the mod chip that matches the color of your DS.

What I learned yesterday is that keeping a DS painting loose is much more compelling than trying to paint tight... and issue I have always had. So the bottom of the painting and the hair I think is awesome. They eye's are kinda shaky... like I was trying to hard.

DS paintings



Okay... so I have jumped on the modded DS band wagon with great fervor! I mean really when there is a FREE program like Colors! out there WHAT artist can possibly resist the draw? I ask you... no laptop, no messy paints, no big anything? A pocket sized digital paint pallet you say?... SOLD to the lady in the unicorn shirt. Here are my first and second attempts. Not bad... not bad. No layers and no undo!

Here is a link to my Colors! site. http://colors.brombra.net/author.php?page=1&id=908

Yucatan






It's been ages... here have some sketchbook.

They were all drawn from life on site... The frog actually fell on my head while I was peeing. NICE! Weird side story.... this frog is sort of a grayish green with darker gray green stripes. Every single night one of these was outside of my door, in my bathroom on my wall. Just one. Everywhere I went. No one else had a frog stalker. I think he was good luck.

Grand Floridian


On a simi-recent trip to Florida I couldn't help myself from drawing the average American. who can blame me?

Expiditions



Eat your heart out National Geographic!

I am not the greatest of photographers.... and I have a sneaking suspicion that my camera has a setting where there isn't as much grain... but alas I can't figure my little canon out. I really wish I would have been paying attention in my photography class... something about an f-stop. Hiss....

I like to live in America!




Soooo... I will post some drawings from my sketchbook when I get them all scanned and fancied up. As a grand total of maybe 3 people actually look at my blog I can probably take my time and no one will notice. In the meantime enjoy some odd photos of my Trip to the Yucatan.

Owed to a mother


A personal doodle. Only I get to know what it means... I wonder if anyone will recognize her. I just like it.

Stop bugging me!


This is a funny sketch I did of my office mate Nick Comorre. It's spot on. He always says "no" or, "I don't care". It's his way.

Greed.


So I ordered this calligraphy pen by accident. As it turns out its great for shape sketches. I really had a lot of fun sketching these little dragons. They are my own interpretation of greed... in shape form. My idea of greed is usually someone who is skinny miserly and vulture-like, their magpie like tendencies and a frail weasely frame with a disproportionate belly are all specific to what I think of as greedy. A particular neck shape manifested itself in my designs over and over again.

Enjoy!

Pen Sketches






Here are some pen sketches from my trip to Florida. It was fun. A lot of great stuff to draw at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Can one call it a zoo? Also some sketches from Bali and Singapore. Enjoy!!

Piratey


I have been working at Imagineering for a year and 10 months. Oh wow. Freaky. I was sitting here thinking about what to post... but we all know that you sign your life away when you work for the mouse... hence I can't actually show anyone what I have done here at work as it is a no no. So, I did this in school a while back. Enjoy. Acrylic on illustration board.
