Elements to use were his favorite beverage and a cartoon character of him.
Mixed that one up the the Oakland Raiders/Sal Barbier style type of head and voila.

Vectors & skateboards
As always i was browsing the internet again for random pictures to archive when i stumbled upon 30 cool vector illustrated skateboard decks .
It shows a nice small collection of vector-created designs that the writer has selected.
It also includes some very handy tips regarding how to handle vectors in Adobe Illustrator but also how to screenprint or to set up your own little designed skatedeck shop.

Skateboard graphics book
Got this book in yesterday: New Skateboard Graphics.
The book has some very nice photos of decks and cool interviews with some designers and they're also more up-to-date with the boards of recent years and not focusing on boards from the 1980-1990s (which had a lot of good graphics too don't get me wrong).
Really love it and i'm hoping for a book 2 with more art to oogle at and reminisce over.
Their site is here and while you're at it, just order it you won't regret it.
My next goal is to do a deck-design ;)

Favorite Artist
Well my my most favorite Artist finally has a site! (could be there for a longer time than i imagined though hehe).
I capslocked artist because he simply draws the coolest stuff, has terrific line-work and amazing detailing going on plus everything looks clean yet gritty.
Oh and the ladies are looking hawt as well!
Check Chris Bachalo !

How to paint digitally
This video was very helpful on learning how to paint digitally, i applied most of it on the Carla-piece below.
Still need to work a lot of things out though.

Done!
Finished the Carla-illustration today.
Opted to digitally paint her because i need to practice it, did some tweaking as well on her.
Also used some textures of a wall and floortile from my backyard to give it some more flavour sort of like a modern day fairytale vibe.
I like it and i hope you do too (and Carla ofcourse).

Looks like i'm getting somewhere.
I was sketching some other things like a pin-up girl style sketch and i was browsing through the book 'The great american pin-up" when i saw a pic and it all clicked.
In the book the main focus is on the girl with little to no background so i'm going in that direction. Next step is to decide how to finish it whether i'll digitally paint it or do some simple shading.
