During critiques Norm would tilt his head and look at one above his glasses, something that made my blood run cold but eventually got a kick out of. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/S71eCNh-wEI/AAAAAAAAAZA/Xp9LQyczShE/s1600/Norm.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/S71eCNh-wEI/AAAAAAAAAZA/Xp9LQyczShE/s320/Norm.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457621715527843906" /></a><br /><br />Thank you Norm for your inspiration and for pushing me to do my best. I first saw the drawings of Norm and his amazing students when I was taking Saturday High classes, our class was using a room that happened to have books from his students lined up on all the tables. To say it blew my mind would be an understatement: I knew right then and there that I had to learn how to draw like that, and I can see that so many of the aspiring designers and artists at my school and elsewhere can relate.<br /><br />Norm was always demanding the best from students in his classes, and even when I was not able to do as well as I should he still supported me. <br /><br />When I heard the news about his passing I was in a complete state of shock and denial, how could this man who was consistently an enthusiastic supporter of all of his students be so suddenly taken away? I will always be grateful I was able to learn from him and I know the things he taught will be passed on to others. My thoughts go out to his family.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312565298087360269-6796409018682483835?l=thegrablog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Paul Grabhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00938446373646044283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312565298087360269.post-5782956604813022342010-02-07T17:21:00.000-08:002010-02-19T19:41:35.154-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/S39Z2Wc3H2I/AAAAAAAAATI/MT7NmUhECFY/s1600-h/speedy+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 312px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/S39Z2Wc3H2I/AAAAAAAAATI/MT7NmUhECFY/s400/speedy+3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440165665161289570" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/S39Z1-lnYXI/AAAAAAAAATA/3Ewb8b4_LzY/s1600-h/dumb.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/S39Z1-lnYXI/AAAAAAAAATA/3Ewb8b4_LzY/s400/dumb.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440165658755555698" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/S3x9GECMNUI/AAAAAAAAASg/QnCmmyfSLv8/s1600-h/StressGuys.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 263px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/S3x9GECMNUI/AAAAAAAAASg/QnCmmyfSLv8/s400/StressGuys.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439359993072334146" /></a><br />A very confusing page of bad cartoons I do when my mind is a blank.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/S29qeMRQB1I/AAAAAAAAAPs/a5z0Dxr6z30/s1600-h/GrayLA+copy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/S29qeMRQB1I/AAAAAAAAAPs/a5z0Dxr6z30/s320/GrayLA+copy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435680342181676882" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/S29qdze7dMI/AAAAAAAAAPk/3xsg7xxN5kM/s1600-h/Rock+Brush+shit+copy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 83px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/S29qdze7dMI/AAAAAAAAAPk/3xsg7xxN5kM/s320/Rock+Brush+shit+copy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435680335528162498" /></a><br /><br />Clouds are hard, but fun!

The b&w sketches are a little clearer than the colored ones below because I did the lower sketches quickly while watching a dvd of a Parliament concert. They were done as ideations for Egytian/Art Deco-style costume for my Costume design class. <br /><br />Parliament/Funkadelic are one of my favorite bands, not only did Parliament write great music but they also created hilarious stories and characters. I want to bring these to completion as a tribute to how much I'm inspired by and love Parliament/Funkadelic and how much I'm inspired by fellow artists every day.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312565298087360269-9219489916093958587?l=thegrablog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Paul Grabhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00938446373646044283noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312565298087360269.post-28217848847579398312008-10-20T22:07:00.001-07:002008-10-20T22:24:07.589-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/SP1nRu5EhWI/AAAAAAAAAIg/gVCMYwZu2lo/s1600-h/sketch.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/SP1nRu5EhWI/AAAAAAAAAIg/gVCMYwZu2lo/s400/sketch.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259473494181447010" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/SP1nTSuH0qI/AAAAAAAAAIo/FtS34m9veEY/s1600-h/sketch2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/SP1nTSuH0qI/AAAAAAAAAIo/FtS34m9veEY/s400/sketch2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259473520979071650" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/SP1nTSu0k6I/AAAAAAAAAIw/I7gea3YMtkE/s1600-h/sketch3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/SP1nTSu0k6I/AAAAAAAAAIw/I7gea3YMtkE/s400/sketch3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259473520982004642" /></a><br /><br />Just some drawings I do when I'm supposed to be doing homework.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6312565298087360269-2821784884757939831?l=thegrablog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Paul Grabhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00938446373646044283noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312565298087360269.post-69529601978083016882008-09-29T17:17:00.000-07:002008-10-05T21:05:43.132-07:00I recently got corrected on my design for the Proterosuchus, apparently this is a more accurate depiction of the creature.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/SOmNzG6fjDI/AAAAAAAAAIY/E-HLhh3HZ-4/s1600-h/Whutup.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/SOmNzG6fjDI/AAAAAAAAAIY/E-HLhh3HZ-4/s400/Whutup.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253886349473188914" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/SOFw0KPPPFI/AAAAAAAAAF0/ucG1B1iMn1Y/s1600-h/Proterosuchus2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/SOFw0KPPPFI/AAAAAAAAAF0/ucG1B1iMn1Y/s400/Proterosuchus2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251602681894485074" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/SOFw0RMTYlI/AAAAAAAAAF8/eK32Ed7Iy70/s1600-h/Materpiscis.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_S8rogoAfNxg/SOFw0RMTYlI/AAAAAAAAAF8/eK32Ed7Iy70/s400/Materpiscis.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251602683761222226" /></a><br /><br />This summer I was fortunate enough to work at a TV production studio called Digital Ranch in Sherman Oaks, CA.
