Here is a new piece I just did for this week's LA Weekly. I had been reading about the history of Malibu Creek State Park, where M*A*S*H and the Planet of the Apes series were filmed when I did the rough sketch. After hiking up to shoot some reference shots for an idea about a misdirected extra, I painted the ink and watercolor version. After some trial and error and strange accidents with color and temperatures, I came to this version, which hopefully retains most of the anachronistic feel of the original concept.
In other news, I'm incredibly honored to have my unpublished "Waiting" illustration awarded a spot in this year's Communication Arts Illustration Annual, which is on stands now.

i hate how you make it sound. "Strange Accidents." Psh... I wish stumble upon some strange accidents... they seem to only happen to you... but thats when you know its no longer an accident, but a skill. Lovely piece man. I have some friends here at work that suggest I go there when I get back to Cali cuz the landscape to paint there is amazing... just like your work!
