Punching Pandas
25 Cent Wonder Pandas
Patrick Ballesteros did a super mech panda sketch during one of his Periscope broadcasts, so I decided to return the favor.
Egg Tart Panda
Egg tart panda sketch from this morning’s Periscope Pandacast. The original sketch and print are available on the shop. I’m still adjusting my schedule for the Periscope broadcasts, probably limiting them to Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with some spontaneous broadcasts when I have the spare time. Man, now I’m hungry for egg tarts again…
We Bare Pandas
From my latest Periscope Pandacast. Original sketch and print available on my new shop!
Periscope Pandas
I found out about this new app called Periscope that lets you use your phone to broadcast video from anywhere. I’ve been using it to broadcast some of my morning sketches, and it has been a cool way for me to interact with my audience. Download it and check me out at my Twitter handle, @punchingpandas, to catch a little behind-the-scenes action!
The balloon panda above was the first drawing I finished in my last Pandacast. I also managed to finish an Ant-Panda riding Antony. Look forward to catching you at the next Pandacast!
Pandamonium: Urban Brawl (Revisited)
When I was preparing to display my art at Cafe Cesura, I was planning on including the four Pandamonium: Urban Brawl pieces from my Pandamonium show. But there was something that didn’t sit well inside of me about those pieces. For one thing, the pieces were incomplete. In the days leading up to my Pandamonium show, I was scrambling to complete the PUB pieces before I had to send them to the printer. I even pulled an all-nighter the day before to get the piece to a respectable level.
Even though the piece got a good reception, I still wasn’t completely happy with the piece. I expressed my thoughts to Olwen, and she suggested I touch it up a bit, but I knew it wasn’t going to be just a touch-up. It was going to take me a lot of time, A LOT of time. But I was going to do it.
In order to finish on time, I had to economize the way I worked. That meant creating more custom brushes for the buildings and the trees. But the pandas and all the broken windows were done by hand, there’s no cutting and pasting there. In my first Pandamonium piece, I knew I had 500 pandas; in this one, I lost count.
A few weeks later, here’s the final product. I still have it printed in four separate pieces in case someone wanted to take home a smaller portion, but I do plan on printing the whole thing at once eventually. I can probably still work some more on this piece, but I’m completely satisfied with how it turned out.

Meet the Artist!
Apparently #MeetTheArtist is trending right now. Let’s join in on the fun, shall we?
Super Pandas
Leading up to Emerald City Comicon, I decided to do another series of pandas titled “Super Pandas.” I tried to pick the most popular superheroes I could think of, but there were still a lot that I left out. Maybe I’ll revisit them one day, but for now, let’s start with the X-Men, or should I say, X-Pandas!
Then there’s DC Comics’ Justice League (it depends though if you think Cyborg belongs here or not).
Justice Pandas
How can we forget Marvel’s Avengers!
Avenger Pandas
And let’s have a couple more bonus characters: Deadman, Daredevil, Deadpool, Baymax, and Hiro Hamada!
Bonus Pandas

Piggy Panda comission
I recently finished a commission for a client who wanted to include a pig as a companion for one of my pandas. The three ink drawings revolved around their interests and quirks, namely the wife’s profession as a pediatrician, and the husband’s interest in Reddit. The last drawing relates to a Hawaii vacation which the client and his wife are probably on right now. Anyways, hope that’s enough to explain the drawings, but enjoy them anyways.
-
- The client’s wife was a pediatrician, and the client himself hated shots.
-
- The client mentioned he had a habit of visiting Reddit frequently.
-
- A sunset finale for the series.
The rough concepts that I presented to the client.
