Pink Laughter Designs Blog

Osh is a new character design. I hope to one day expand his world by illustrating the images I have in mind, which includes animated scenes and depictions (I am currently working on my animation skill set). He exists in a very surreal, startling and magical realm but sometimes he likes to step into the reality of others so that he can make new friends in different dimensions.

This illustration was created in Illustrator and taken into Photoshop for highlight and shadow effects.

All of my illustrations will soon be available as prints in various sizes. I’ve received a lot of requests so far for my work in rich commercial print format.

This was created in Ilustrator CS3. I decided to create a cute little panda bear holding his beloved stalk of bamboo while he gazes upon the viewer with a curious expression but sweet expression.

This illustration would be very ideal in a recreational room or a quirkily-themed bathroom as decor on the wall.

This illustration was created in both Illustrator and Photoshop. I have as very strong fascination with clowns and all other characters related to them which includes mimes, harlequins, jesters and so forth. Many people find this to be unusual since clowns are a source of fear for most, but even if clowns are depicted in a sinister fashion, I am interested in that depiction and characterization of clowns as well.

I didn’t really have a plan when I first began this illustration, although I wanted to experiment with images of mimes which turn into looking more like clowns. Mimes typically have the eye paint designs featured in this piece in some way. They also usually have darkly painted lips.

These clowns are in lavender and pink hues with lots of shine which gives them a candy-coated appearance, hence the name of this image which is Candy Coated Clowns.

Stay tuned for more painted-faced and masked character illustrations, which might include an illustrated character card set.

Sukra is possibly another character in the Pink Laughter Kingdom world concept.

She enjoys eating a lot of bitter and sour treats that make her cry and frown in a very intense expression. The treats are often very sickly sweet smelling which are deceiving to the noses of visitors to her domain. Sukra enjoys singing catchy but dramatic and tragic songs about misfortune, neglect, remorse and the like. Her melodies are sing-song, puckish, dark cabaret and vaudeville in style.

She was created in Illustrator and taken into Photoshop for further enhancement.

I have many alter egos that are based off of various sides to my personality and moods that I often fall into. Panash [PA-nosh] is a character that I created several years ago. He has a suicide king complex and he is also one of the characters to my Pink Laughter Kingdom word concept which I will be developing into fantasy-adventure a book series over time.

I created him in several modes. Sometimes he appears in a red rather than blue clown suit with knives as hands and amid a background of fireworks and brilliant light displays. His hair is wild, chaotic and has a life of its own. He often ties up his hair with balls of light orbs in the colors lime-green, purple and sky blue but sometimes he lets all of his hair down and they appear more like abstract snakes or dreadlocks shooting out in various directions in a reactive manner.

I started a company with some friends and former schoolmates about a couple of years ago. The entry can be seen here where I talk more about this film company entitled, Third Eye Cinema.
