Unfit

2010-03-08T14:11:00.001-08:00

This was part of the Power of Laughter cartoon I was submitting with Road Rage. I had 5 days to do 3 illustrations, but only finished Road Rage, 2/3's of Laughter, and 1/3 of Exercise Regularly. Working full-time with that crazy bachelor life-style, damn.

Lowered the Saturation on these runners.
A nice drained look, maybe.

The Hurried Submission

2010-02-23T19:53:00.001-08:00

Part one of an Art Submission.
Cartoon Illustrations to follow chapters in a book.

I may post the other two subs:
The Power of Laughter & Exercise Regularly.

took these this morning.
Thought it was kinda neat how the characters matched up.

Some guy

2010-01-13T20:19:00.000-08:00

testing, 1, 2, 3, Can anyone hear me?
test design for a character. plans are to make him more like me. That's what I know.

Father

2009-12-06T06:33:00.001-08:00

Main Character in a scifi story I'm making. You know, Man with handicap uses space bugs to rebuild his life to support his family. Then everything breaks down. A classic.
Going to tell it use basic icon-based graphics.

Random Bat-Note

2009-11-08T17:53:00.000-08:00

I was trying to do some work, got distracted by TED and I ended up on deviantART.com where I clicked upon this lil drawing. I thought...."Boy, those villains are a bright and colorful bunch; That Batman and his group sure do wear a lot of black and dark colors."

I could go on about how great the Batman franchise is, but only one thought really came into my head. This thought really relates to some of my recent findings about life and the way I'd like to take mine.

Batman dresses in black not only to hide in the shadows, but to hide who he is.
While....
The Villains dress in their colors, loud and bright, showing the world who they are and what they are all about.

Just kinda neat eh?

All is Love

2009-10-16T21:01:00.000-07:00

I often enjoy this guys videos, and after seeing Where the Wild Things are tonight, I watched a few online critics talk about the movie. This is the closest voice I could find to my own in relation to the movie.

Mushroom Boy, An Idea so Far...

2009-10-05T15:42:00.001-07:00

Had an idea for a story involving a boy that lived underground in a cave. He had worked long and hard and become somewhat of a lifeless moldy guy, with a mushroom growing out of his head. Story would focus on my views of living too much indoors, isolation, and the boys journey outside as he meets people and starts to impact the world.

These are early designs. First it was going to be about a man, but I quickly jumped ship to the idea of using someone younger, as I wanted the Mushroom Boy to learn things and make a heck lot of mistakes.

Above you can see the first step to the design, and so far the one I like the most. A mix of young and old looks, and general look of being tired and puzzled. I was thinking his job would be focused around a monitor, but that was too close to reality. I figure his job with involve work with his hands on a skilled leaving.

Above you can see the idea of what the exit to the cave might look like.

Other characters will be based off of other plants and nature themes. A girl with a pollen covered nose, a large wise redneck tree man, and the Sun and Moon (played off as Parents to the world).

The People

2009-08-28T18:56:00.001-07:00

Been collecting all my sketches for the book I want to make for myself.
Haven't made a post in a while and with moving most of my stuff has been packed and left in storage. So here is some sketches of the population from my story.

They're animals with Skull face plates. If it helps, they are all dead too.

Zoo Doo(dles)

2009-07-14T19:55:00.001-07:00

Went to the Toronto Zoo a while ago to do some live animal sketches. Didn't counter in the fact there is no place to sit and draw, or that drawing would attract people. Kids like to watch people draw, it's kinda cool.

These are the only "good" images. Spent about a half hour with this bird. It got pretty close and the fence was pretty low that I could get a good eye full of her.

These are from today.
Some concept sketches for the story I have in mind. Plus another cat doodle.

Got a Cat

2009-07-01T05:36:00.000-07:00

Expect a buncha Cat drawings. Adopted a stray a few days ago.
Starting to see why someone gave her up, but she needs a home. I'll take care of her.

Fun House - Cops part 2

2009-06-21T20:12:00.001-07:00

Comic Project

2009-04-12T17:41:00.000-07:00

Working of a Comic for a Guy in Town. Wont say much, mostly posting for the Writer to see how we can take the character. What I got here is a Ring Master mixed with an Insane person(straight jacket like coat).

Also included is a possible victim with some Fun House Juice in his head.

I have some more sketches. Different poses and The main man with a balloon for a head.

Things have been real ugly lately and being sick isn't helping. Drew these last night.

Life Happenings

2009-03-17T18:33:00.001-07:00

New stuff going down. Got a new (it's old) car, found a place to move into, picking up a whack load of new jobs. And while this is all good, can't help but feel depressed. But I move out in May, so a month of depression wont be much compared to my new place. Hoping it will be a better work environment then what I have now.
This is a blob guy thing. Idea is his muscles and skin have semi gone blobish. With a stunning sence of control he uses the his gooey substance to move around his bones and remaining organs. Thinking he would be a good mobile storage for a fight. Just store guns in his body and pull them out when needed.

The Blob would be semi transparent and cloudy. his body still has to function, so bodily fluids just mix into his blobby insides. Sometimes releasing air bubbles from his back at raised tempatures.

Long Distance Relationship

2009-02-08T15:45:00.001-08:00

Uploaded a sketch for a friend to look at. Had an a random idea for a love story involving snipers, and I figured she could do a better job of designing the opposing sides uniforms. I'll link or post her ideas if she wants to share.

Naked Lady in the Morning

2009-02-02T06:35:00.000-08:00

Well not full nude, but I saw this on deviantART.com

Holiday Stuff - End of the Year

2008-12-24T12:58:00.000-08:00

I've started my holidays today and I'll be returning to work on boxing day. It's been good lately as I've been doing lots of art for friends, clients, and myself. Yet I haven't been posting half of it, I'm still happy with everything.

I'll be sending good messages out to all my friends, family, and general people I care for, but to those who read this blog mistaking it for internet porn: Have a Great End of the Year Holiday, whichever it might be, or might not be, I don't know, we've become so culturally aware that everyone needs to be included..... well I hope that pleased someone.

I'm off to play my new Xbox 360. It wasn't a Christmas gift, but I didn't pay for it. Thank you give away limited supply deals from large retail companies.

And Virgin Mobile.

Removing

2008-12-05T21:41:00.000-08:00

I'm not sure who is talking or doing things now. But I have begun to remove myself from things. MSN has been removed and Facebook as well. I will be keeping my website, blog, and deviantART accounts going. DeviantART because you cannot remove your account.

Going to be dropping out of these social internet networks, and going to try aiming my time more efficiently. Use the phone a lil more, see if I can't start my career.

Old Art for a wordy post

HardBoiled

2008-11-22T23:23:00.000-08:00

Watched Hard Boiled tonight for the first time, kick ass movie. As you can see, the babies are pretty important.

Colored these guys in Flash.

I have plans to give them a lil life, but when that gets done.

A Pig, an Old Man, a Tiki, and Fubbs!

2008-11-02T18:27:00.001-08:00

I rather dig the old man and the Tiki. the pig kinda feels basic, but I'm still having fun playing with my Fubbs character. Work should be interesting, Ive been getting more jobs doing caricatures and I'll actually have a day to do them in our store to raise money for the Special Oylmpics.

Website

2008-10-26T20:32:00.000-07:00

I'll be updating my online portfolio over time. Needs to be a lil more fresh, starting to stink up the internet. I'll be mixing up my image gallery and I'm thinking about adding a caricature section. Ever since the Staples caricatures, I've been getting more business and I do like money coming in.

For now, check out the hosts of my site, The Ink Dudes!

Flower Necklace

2008-10-10T19:25:00.000-07:00

Old Idea, tried to play with it:

Over all I'm not too happy with this one. I have too many forms for the style I colored it in. I may redo or play with this image some more.

The Fight

2008-09-28T11:53:00.001-07:00

Working on a piece about fruits and vegetables. The main focus will be between the Apple and the Tomato.

These are just some of the pre sketches for the characters. I may be subbing some of these drawings for the final peice.
Namely the yelling Tomato.

Work for Work

2008-09-24T12:20:00.001-07:00

A few people at my employment are celebrating anniversaries. Being put in charge of the staff party I was issued to do caricatures.

The sketches:

And the Final Pieces.

Another woman at work is included, but I am having a friend draw her, as my buddy has a closer relationship with the woman then myself. With her permission I'll post the image when it's done.

Bugs and Pain

2008-09-21T19:50:00.001-07:00

I'll be out of town for work, so I wanted to put up some sketches. Tried some different styles with bug people, and just tonight I worked on the punching face and the freaked out....guy thing. I've been pretty happy with my art lately. Had to over come some issues with myself, but I've been getting better at them due to some hard thinking and a friend that cares.

Work has hired me to do some caricatures, so I think I'll post the sketches as well as the clean ups when they are finished. Also, my arm is healing, which is good. Best part is my drawing arm will now have a big bad ass scar.

Bitching.

Sun and Moon

2008-09-18T16:34:00.000-07:00

I did finals on the Sun and Moon sketches and they look great. Going to add them to my portfolio.
Here are my black and white versions.

This Guy, a Moon, a Sun, and Sperm

2008-09-14T15:03:00.001-07:00

I drew these guys today, scanned them,

then wrote this post.

Keep In Mind

2008-09-13T07:19:00.001-07:00

Some resent doodles that I'll be cleaning up. Not sure if I'll post them; they'll be going into my stock portfolio, plus this is a sketch blog....SKETCH.....yeah.....

My arm is still horrible and creepy looking, Ill be getting a nice 2 inch long scar out of it. I figure my chick levels will go up, so I'm planing to bust up my other arm to even things out.

As for the drawings, started off working the puzzle concept of a woman playing in a guys head. But the puzzle pieces aren't working for me too much. I'll play more with the cogs and machine qualities and see what comes out. I do enjoy the car concept of the opposite sex driving our heads to exhaustion.

Trees and a Guy

2008-09-08T15:25:00.000-07:00

Been drawing with my bum arm,
worked out some different trees and plants.

I may work some kinda comic with the Bird talking with the Tree.

ow

2008-09-04T18:36:00.000-07:00

May or may not be getting a lot of art related posts up. I ripped a piece of my right forearm off, which makes it hard to draw for long periods of time.
If I had any readers this would suck, but I don't have any, so I don't know why I'm posting this.
Stay tuned for photos of my wound and the exposed bone!

~edit~
Fug that, bring on the pain and bring on the art!

Why I fail at being a Cartoonist

2008-08-31T16:15:00.000-07:00

Out of all the people I know(or asked today), NONE of them knew the Nation Lampoon was a magazine, let alone that this cover existed.

This cover holds such inspiration, yet the fact that not one average person I know knew of it's existence, makes my future depressing.

TED

2008-08-22T18:19:00.000-07:00

Recently a friend reintroduced me to TED.com and I've been watching them remembering the few I saw in college and I wanted to post some of the ones I find truly inspirational.

Robert Full on animal movement ,

Ross Lovegrove shares organic designs ,

David Griffen on how photography connects us ,

Stefan Sagmeister shares happy design ,

The Eeru

2008-08-18T19:23:00.000-07:00

Here's a sketch for COW 120. The theme was to make a creature related to shaving, so the Eeru is an animal that grows hair out of every hole in it's body. So it can see, eat, breath, piss and everything, it needs to be shaved down.

I only got this far with the project, but I kinda like how it was going so I may revisit it one day and finish it up. I've done some more conceptart.org sketches, but I'm not crazy about them. Mostly lame ideas for a unicorn killer and some Dark Knight villains.

Friday Night Doodles

2008-08-09T21:20:00.001-07:00

Between cards and drinks, a few doodles

Mostly random people from my head, plus a COW submission based on a creature that needs it's eyes shaved so it can see.

I Can Color Too

2008-07-23T18:40:00.001-07:00

or colour, however you like it.

Original art belongs to Phatso, an artist I once knew online. It was a quick photoshop color, but I still like it. It's simple and doesn't over power the art. So often I find comics have incredible coloring, yet it takes away from the content. Too distracting maybe.

Ideas for a Creature of the Week entry on www.conceptart.org. just got a look at the site, since the deadline is today I figure I'd just leave these guys for my sketch blog. The idea is a species that kills boredom and entertains. so:

1. These long legged nutjobs would be common in forested areas, running and jumping liek madmen. Locals would atempt catching them, then by grabbing there horn, toss them in the air and watch them bug out and whistle in joy. Locals would use these guys in competitions. No harm either since the little buggers love moving at high speeds.

2. By eating low hanging toxic fruits, the stomach acids of this creature would cause chemical reactions in its belly, giving of a colorful light show.

3. Living Trash Disposal Units. Aside from the fun of seeing what it would eat, this amphibious creature preforms what some call art, by using it's whipped tongue to cut and destroy it's food before closing it's giant gate like mouth to finish it's meals.

4. Simple idea, pull on the tail long enough and you can hurl this creatures inner organs out of it's mouth. Fun at parties!

5. This bird grows up into a beautiful and vain creature. It's a yearly event to watch as these creatures take their first flight, showing off their plumage. Best of all is while they are showing off they have a record for not looking and crashing into walls and trees; permanently lodging their necks into their body.

6. With it's eyes on the bottom of it's feet. this creature is often running from any hint of danger. Often people can look out their windows to see this possessed creature fleeing for it's life.

Full Metal Ralph

2008-07-07T21:12:00.000-07:00

Watched me some Full Metal Jacket and a few classic Bakshi movies today. More inspired the direct drawings, but that's what I like.

George with Refs

2008-07-06T15:14:00.001-07:00

Printed of some drawings of George and did some sketches on the guy in utter hope that John K will be interested in my pencil scribbling skill.

I like how some came out, a few big mehs, but over all I had fun drawing George.

More George

2008-07-05T18:38:00.000-07:00

Working on some more quick sketches of George Liquor:

These are just quick rough no reference drawings. I'll print out some good George drawings and come up with some more drawings tomorrow.
