More Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Artwork for the book
I’ve haven’t been working on this project as hard as I have been training in BJJ. My goal is to complete atleast half of the book before I move this spring/summer. The book is huge so completing half is still an accomplishment. These are some drawing of arm locks/arm bars. For the next few chapters I will be drawing out the different moves and positions that one will half to learn in order to take down and disable and opponent. Osu!
Handmade recycled sketchbook
For a really long time I’ve been wanting to learn how to construct and assemble my own sketchbooks, and last night a fellow artist decided to share the knowledge. This is only the first attempt but give me a while and I will perfect my own personal style of book making. It’s a pretty cool process. This book was made of old shopping bags I’ve been collecting for a few months. Originally I was going to use the paper for some sumi ink drawings but now it went towards the book.

Latest sketchbook in progress, just something to keep me busy on the daily commute. I’m actually getting use to the layout of the book. At first it was different but now it’s actually coming in handy.
Three is the magic number (gouache vs. digital edition)
Another gouache painting adjusted in photoshop. I enjoy gouache but I still need to work on it a bit before I’m truly comfortable with the medium. The Art Demon never sleeps.
