MJ Sketches

Hey guys, so a little while back I got to do some MJ concept sketches for upper deck, this would have been for the All Star Vinyl line, however I don't think Jordan brand was feeling the ASV figures so they didn't approve the designs. Anyway I got to freelance for Jordan brand from there on based on these drawings, so it's all good.  - click on the pics for a closer look.

Here is the sketch and the final of a piece I did for my friends vinyl toy launch, the piece will be printed on to 12x12 canvas and is part of an installation. The character depicted is my version of his character Spikey.

Here's a piece from my personal sketches, This will probably end up being a painting or a print if I ever end up having time to take it to finish.

Hey whats up guys, so for the new year I decided to manage my blog a bit. I decided to start from scratch for 2009, this blog will be for sketches and concept art. If you are interested in staying up to date on all my toy releases, gallery shows and kaNO kid related inquiries please follow the kaNO kid blog. for now lets get the sketches on a roll.

This is a sketch I did for a collabo show I did titled Street Tribe starring Jesse Hernandez and myself. Originally we where suppose to collaborate on paintings, however it ended up being easier said than done since he is in San Fran and I am in NY. Anyway with his permission I was able to design this piece using my style and some of his tribal trademark designs. I think the styles merged nicely.

Next up is another concept I did for one of my toy signings, this features my recent vinyl figure titled Bodega. Designer vinyl toys aren't meant to do much in the action department, so I wanted to take the opportunity to promote the figure as animated as possible.

This last piece was for kicks, those of you who known my work for a while know I've always played around with the concept of having my characters posed out in the form of letters. Anyway here is a fun little concept I knocked out before I passed out LOL.
