Green Lantern Animated Dark Aya

So while watching a DC Nation Trailer for season 2 of Green Lantern Animated, art buddy Dou Hong, pointed out a character in the background.  I'm just speculating here but....  I think that's Aya in black!  I had to do a quick recolor of my "Aya" piece!  She's such a hot design.

SF 25 in SF Round Up

Needless to say this passed weekend in San Francisco was amazing!  So now I'm going to talk about the Street fingter Tournament and for those who don't know street Fighter, you might not completely understand my ramblings and for those that do know,  my commentary on the festivities might sound amateurish at best... Let's face it... I never sound anything but like an amateur. :P

As long as I've played and loved Street Fighter, I've never attend any sort of organized competition of the game.  I've always planed to go to an EVO event but have not yet gone to one.  If this past tournament is any indication of EVO is like then I GOTTA GO to the next one.

Challengers from all over the world were there.  And I was able to play against a few of them... I lost to all I played... badly.  But that didn't get me down.  I told myself that the 10 year old I was playing up against was a professional competitor and I had nothing to be ashamed of when I lost two perfects to her. Also I didn't sleep much the night before and my game was off and I didn't want to make a little girl cry... plus I didn't bring my custom joy stick... if I had a custom joystick.

But my day wasn't over.  The art portion of the tournament (set up by my hommie Eric Phan of Tsunami Syndicate) went off really well.  Even though it was in a separate room from the main hall, it still got attention from the attendees.  It wasn't a steady stream by no means but they came in waves.  The first highlight of the art gallery was when Yoshinori Ono (Ono-san) stopped by!  This man is basically the main man of Street Fighter!  He had nothing but kind words and praise for the art that he saw in the gallery.  He even asked if he could buy one of my prints.  I said no... and gave it to him as a gift. :)  The second highlight was getting to sketch with my friends Nate Mitchell, Linda Panda, and Jerome Lu.

The weekend was finished off with an excellent bowl of ramen and a flight back to the LBC!  If you're not sleeping by now you should be... cuz that's about it... go home.  You are home?   That was fast.

Capcom will be holding a Street Fighter Tournament in San Francisco this coming Dec. 8th to celebrate Street Fighters 25th Anniversary.  A bunch of extremely talented artist and  myself were invited to do some art pieces for the event.  Here is what I'll be submitting.
If you're around that area on that date stop on by.

Empire Strikes it Rich

I guess George Lucas didn't want to look to greedy so he sold Lucas Films for only 4 billion to Disney... WHHHUUUUUU!  That's Crazy Money!  I have no hate though.  I love both companies.  They brought me Star Tours and Captain EO.  So we cool.
Here's my lil' tribute to both.  Darth Mickey or Disney Vader or Sith Lord - teer.... Can't think of any more Darth Vader / Mickey Mouse combos...

KWESTONE says "May the four-billion be with you... George"

D-Con 2012... Success!

Thanks to all who stopped by the booth and said "hi"!  And a big thank you to all you who stopped by and bought something!  A great Saturday in my book.  I got to hang out with some awesome ole' friends, got to meet some great new friends and sell some art.  Especially was great having one of my best buds sharing the booth with me (TRACY TUBERA).  If you guys have not seen his art just click on his name and check out his website.  You will not be disappointed.
Tracy and I collaborated on a piece that we sold at DesignerCon 2012.  We booth love our childhood cartoons so we did a Voltron (Golion) piece.  It went over well with the old schoolers.  Thanks everyone for making this D-Con one of the best times I've had. Let's do it again next year!  Woot!

Monstoberfest 2012

Awesome sauce!  I'll always love getting invited to do this show, held by Rothick Art Haus for the last 3 years.  Here are the pieces I did this year!  I didn't get to attend... I was off running around a giant hole they call the Grand Canyon!  Hahaha! Actually it was pretty cool see the GC up close.  Pictures do not do it justice.  Well back to the program!  I themed my pieces of the classic movie monsters but sexier =) Once the show is over I'll have prints available for purchase on my online store (KWESTONE Store ) .  So stay tooned for that....

Fun With Fan Art

Here is a fews piece I've done in the last few months.  I have a bit more but they're all still in sketch form.  I have to admit... I'm really liking doing all this fan art. From Anime to Hanna Barbera.  I do plan to do a the Gatchaman busts and maybe draw up Pebbles Flintstone to finish off my Hanna Barbera Cartoon Crush set of Judy Jetson and Velma from Scooby doo.  Most of these piece you can find on my online store (KWESTONE Store) if you wanna grab a print for yourself :).  Anyhoo, now I'm prepping for DesignerCon 2012 where I'll have more new art for sale.  So I hope to see you guys there too.
