Paramount "Power of Youth" event.

A couple of weeks ago, I was asked to be a chalk artist for Variety's "Power of Youth" event held at Paramount Studios. The event was a benefit held for sick or at risk children. I was asked to do a sidewalk chalk mural for the kids. It was a lot of fun, despite it being pretty cold outside, but I'm a Southern California dweller, so I'm a wimp when it comes to cold.

The kids seemed to really enjoy the art and the entire day built around them. Some of them even wanted me to teach them how to draw! I basically did this mural on the fly out of my head. Enjoy!

Jr. Derby logo...Take 2!


Here's a new pose for the Jr. Derby logo. Just gotta make a few tweaks and finalize it. Then the young ladies of the LA Derby Dolls can have something perdy to represent them!

Jr. Derby logo


Hey there!

I've been working on trying to get a logo together for the LA Derby Dolls Jr. Derby League. I did a sketch for it. I still need to clean it up, tweak it a bit and add some text, but here it is so far. Enjoy!
