“You can have anything you want - if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.”
~ Abraham Lincoln
Welcome to the new site remix! This is the spot for every and all things CHOCOLATE SOOP™ related. There are simply too many places for me to have to keep track of, so I decided to try to keep it all in one place. Of course you can still choose to follow me on Facebook ,twitter, Instagram, behance and LinkedIn, but at the end of the day they all start and end here.
If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

あけましておめでとうございます!
Akemashite Omedetougozaimasu!
To all of our friends, family and creative cohorts around the world.
We would like to wish you a heart felt Happy New Year!!!
2013 is already shaping up to be a awesome year of new projects and partnerships.
Nothing would make us happier than to contribute positively to the mix and as a result see all of us grow and prosper on our paths as we move forward.
In Japanese culture, Eto (the Zodiac calendar) starts on the first day of the new year. This year is the year of the snake, and it is said that if you see a white snake, it will bring big luck. So in the spirit of that we are present to you （びゃくだ) Byakuda, a little horned white snake to help kick the year off right.
“In this third installment of my 2d drawing sessions, I have created a little Anime style tribute to the late Tezuka Osamu . Born in Osaka Prefecture, he is best known as the creator of Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion, and Black Jack. He is often credited as the “Godfather of Anime” and is often considered the Japanese equivalent to Walt Disney, who served as a major inspiration during his formative animation/cartooning years. His prolific artistic output, pioneering drawing techniques, and innovative redefinitions of animation genres earned him such titles as “the father of manga”, “the god of comics”, and “kamisama of manga”. Hope you like.
This is the 2nd instalment of the Draw Session tutorials. The result of this exploration came out looking like it could be a ultra rare ancient Pokémon. Hope you enjoy.

With the goal of creating process and how-to videos on the regular, I’ve created the first of what I’m calling (for lack of a better title) Draw Session. The videos will basically show the process I go through in sketching out concepts designs.
