Visiting Los Angeles for the first time last year Venice Beach seemed similar to London's Camden Town-except everyone wears less clothes . . . and there's a beach!
oh, and I have to say that I went back through some older posts and I love your blog (sketchbook...)! You go to the most wonderful places and with your sketches it's like your readers can go with you. I had a good time
This artwork is absolutely incredible. What a perfect vision of Venice Beach. They should use this artwork in all of their promo material. It makes even the "geeky" and abnormal look nice.
Awesome! I love the Chief. You forgot though that the black dude in a speedo had the American flag on his junk. True patriot! Great job on the life guard huts... nothing says LA beach like those life guard huts! Hope you get here soon boss. KP.
I'll have my Canadian maple leaf speedos on when I hit northern cali in the fall! Right now I'm installed in North Wales for the next 5 months but planning another epic drive into Europe-Spain this time!

Lovely!! Definitely captures the life there, especially the feeling of space.
Now we just have to find Will.
I love how you portrayed LA life! Got all the characters :)
...I usually don't see aliens there, though. You must have visited on a very good day.

Great drawing, love the colours
M@-cheers pal, the colours in Will's cheek inspired this piece.
Carrie-thanks for stopping by & leaving such kind words
Owen-thnx, it's a completely digital piece.
love your picture, a funny moment of life!
Merci Thierry! Most of the people in this image are based on real life beach folk I saw there, even the Alien!
You've really captured it, I feel like I need to take a shower now.
Beautiful colours and characters. Smashing.
Hey Matt, this is a very nice way to work out your observational sketches. More please of these tiny mood panels... !
lol - a nice mood in there!
This is awesome... now I wanna go to the beach.
Except not everything is covered in shit.

Wonderful painting Matt, The colours are brilliant it really full of life.
Exceptional, though I wouldn't expect anything less. I like that you kept it as lively as your sketches.
Entirely digital? Just wait 'til Ronald hears about this...

Plenty of joie de vivre on offer...must be evening because of the long shadows.
Thanks for all the kind words folks-appreciated.
Very nice mood! Never been to LA but I'm sure (or I hope should I say) it looks like that :)
This is fantastic! such a happy drawing and captures the atmosphere so well!!
Hey dude!
So cool!
This is awesome! I love how loosely you've captured everything. Easy and breezy!
