Beach Cities Volleyball Club - Manhattan Beach, CA.
Paul June of Barrel O'Monkeyz (www.barrelomonkeyz.com) requested a logo refresh job for a new client of his, a non-profit volleyball training club for kids in the L.A. area.
This is one of the submissions.

I like that the abstraction reminds me of kanji and conveys a clear sense of purposeful activity.

You can see the winner - created by my brother, Rob - at www.beachcitiesvbc.com. We went on to redo their site, too. Fun stuff.

Wild and Crazy Story

Scene from a book: a landowner happens upon the meat-stripped carcass of his pet dinosaur. The victim of carnivorous tiger-roses, it had been enjoying its own snack - eating a two-legged apple.
We don't need drugs to trip on in Utah.

Marcelo Vignali introduced this gent and his work to me via his blog. Paul, thanks for sharing artwork as well as some technical info! I'll be a frequent viewer.

Twilight

A friend of my wife contacted me with a need to create some artwork for an opening-night event.
The Twilight movie will be released on the 21st of Nov. The shirt was done for a local, midnight party. More info at http://www.twilightmoviepartystgeorge.blogspot.com/

Skull

Quick concept for a client. Sketched it on charcoal paper, then quickly inked directly over it with a #4 brush. Nice to have a pencil in hand. Tactility is a wonderful thing.

Kayak & Kolob Reservoir

After a recent trip to CA, I raced home and took my wife to a nearby man-made lake that lies on the northern slopes of Zion National Park. I had hoped for one campsite in particular, and we got it!
Just in time, in fact, to see the surrounding thunderstorms part their gloomy curtains for a polychromatic spectacle of wonders.
I plan on taking the easel next time.

Oarfish

My uncle recently gave me a 3-man kayak. My friend Joe and I took most of our kids and his wife to an alpine reservoir to try it out. There's an island in the middle of the lake that's large enough to camp on. A cluster of boulders drapes from the shoreline into the water, forming pools and crevices for crawdads to enjoy, and trout carcasses collect there. I'm sure the local gull population loves it.
I didn't have a pole, but we did catch some fish. Hold on to your stomach, if fish skulls disturb you.
