Fian Arroyo art on H-Street skateboard

Mike Owen at a skateboard signing, signing his H-Street signature model with the artwork I did for it last year. Always cool to see my illustrations on the end product. Gave it that regal eagle look, a slight departure from what I usually illustrate. That was such a fun piece to work on, especially when I am so passionate about skateboarding myself.

Children's ebook illustration

Here is a humourous children's book illustration for a potential children's ebook. Initially did it to promote the ebook for other avenues. Since then, I have had to pass on doing the rest of the ebook. I just have too many projects on the table that will keep me busy for a long while...which is always a super good thing! Don't you think? :-)

How Fian sees the world

Check out how I see the world. I usually see creatures in everyday things and just thought I would start illustrating them...is that something that needs medical attention? :-)

I was looking out my studio window when I saw this creature in the branches of this fir tree, so I had to sketch it out. So if you see me giggling to myself...now you know why. Does that require medical attention as well? :-)

This could become a regular posting thang...waddayathink?

Road Runner character design

Recently I worked on a character development project for the city of Las Cruces New Mexico's Convention and Visitors Bureau. It is a roadrunner mascot developed for their VIK (Very Important Kids). Here are a few of the many sketches I created along with the final art for one of the poses. Click on the image and check it out. Waddayathink?
