Sketchbooking

Brandon Oldenburg (cofounder of ReelFX) came over from Dallas this week to do some presentations and what not. He's an awesome guy and ReelFX is looking like a very promising company. It'll be interesting to see how they develop over the next couple years.

Yes, I actually got inspired by a stick I found on the ground.

So we're sitting around and somehow we start talking about Ninja Turtles and how all their names were Renaissance artists and Avner said it would be a cool way to learn your art history if they had a TV show for the real artists... like Da Vinci! I painted over this in white ink and I was going to use color pencil on top of the ink... but I kinda like the flat look. Any suggestions? comments?
