2011-01-21T12:53:00.000-08:00

John the Baptist

2010-04-01T20:00:00.001-07:00

Couple of sketches of good ole John the Baptist on which I'm planning to give the digital paint treatment. I love reading descriptions of people in the bible. Apparently JtB ate lived in the wilderness and ate locusts and honey. 2 great tastes that go great together.

it's been a while

Drawings from the Field

2010-01-22T06:58:00.001-08:00

Since I'm not so good at doing drawings specifically for Friday anymore... I thought I'd share my Field Museum drawings.

Enjoy y'all.

clicking

2009-11-20T09:39:00.001-08:00

this is in some
stage. not sure.
there's more clicks,
more type, i need to work
it out. i feel like it needs the type?
please don't anyone say it
looks jesus-y, that would ruin
it for me. it might.

2009-11-13T08:22:00.000-08:00

Here's one of the drawings from my 31 Days of October. You can see some of the other ones over at Joeville.

Also this minotaur is from a drawing jam I did for the 100000 Bad Drawings blog.

Devil's Dandruff

2009-11-13T05:27:00.001-08:00

New Meth Hedz. Finally finished. Well sort of. Looking for a way to incorporate the logo on this side of the trading card. And I haven't designed and written the stuff for the back. But at least the damned illustration is finished.

Thoughts and critiques are appreciated. I really want to get this trading card series rolling. Might take me awhile, but I think I've found a direction.

Enjoy.

31 Days of Halloween

2009-10-01T19:41:00.000-07:00

Every day this month I will try to do a Halloween inspired drawing. So here's the first one, hope you like it. You can follow my progress over at Joeville.

Party Time

2009-09-25T20:07:00.001-07:00

Here's a drawing of my dad.

2009-09-18T09:37:00.000-07:00

Here's one I did a while ago and never got around to posting. You can also get this on a T-shirt at my store.

Some old stuff

2009-09-04T12:04:00.001-07:00

Okay... these are couple of months old. Meant to post it, never did. But as I have nothing new to add right now, this'll have to do.

doodles

2009-08-14T14:01:00.000-07:00

sketches for something that will end up on clay. i'm working on trying some new technique/style. wish me luck:)

It's early

2009-08-13T10:36:00.001-07:00

I'm headed out of town for the weekend so I thought I'd post early. Couple of sketches from the week.

Enjoy.

baaaaaaaaah

Work in Progress

2009-07-24T06:36:00.000-07:00

Haven't posted in a while so here is something I'm working on right now.

Sizzurp!

2009-07-10T14:24:00.000-07:00

I made a present today.

Desk Eaters

2009-07-10T07:59:00.000-07:00

Crazy day at work the other day. I was privy to a lunchtime feeding frenzy.

Figurin' a direction

2009-07-09T17:08:00.000-07:00

I'm fishing around trying to find a specific style for the piece that I'm wanting to work on. These are in the order they were created. The photoshop stuff still needs work.

Unicorn VS Narwhal

2009-07-03T05:45:00.001-07:00

Poor unicorn. Never had a chance. Just what was he doing out in the middle of the ocean anyway?

Dragon AXE!

2009-06-26T06:32:00.001-07:00

New character I developed to go hand in hand with the dome head guy.

2 Weeks in a row! (i think that's a record for me)

2009-06-19T05:37:00.000-07:00

Ink sketches of some character ideas I have for a graphic novel.

2009-06-12T09:59:00.000-07:00

Oh no... they say he's got to go....

2009-06-12T06:40:00.001-07:00

COCKZILLA!!!

More anthropomorphism. It's not a problem. I can stop anytime I want to.

Mawkurz!

2009-06-11T11:22:00.001-07:00

Trying my hand at a little marker rendering. Did the underdrawing in marker and added pen at the end. Carz are effing hard to draw.

Neu Blüd

2009-06-11T10:55:00.000-07:00

So it's been a while, my energies have been spread somewhat thin. I've begun a series of portraits i want to put together for a large poster in the end. Here's one of the first.

Bat Boy

2009-05-22T10:49:00.000-07:00

variations on a theme

2009-05-22T10:05:00.000-07:00

So apparently I'm drawn to the concept of smashing faces or impending face smashing. Also I attempted a batman redesign based on the knightfall series (nasal voice in full effect).

Okay so it's been awhile...

2009-05-22T06:32:00.000-07:00

I've been pretty lame about posting. Been kinda busy with other projects. Well damned if I'm not gonna post this week even in the face of deadlines. To make up for it here are a few sketches.

New Meth Hedz character: Devil's Dandruff.

Definitely going to do a larger version of this bird.

No idea what's going on here...

i didn't draw this, but it's sooo funny!

2009-05-08T09:06:00.000-07:00

Long time coming

2009-04-24T11:44:00.001-07:00

I've been meaning to post these for a while, but PiL was blocking posts. I did these for Reebs for Christmas.

2009-04-24T08:48:00.000-07:00

Why don't you go home?

2009-03-27T06:34:00.000-07:00

This is my first real attempt at animating in flash. The audio is from Bride of the Monster. I hope to have more done soon.

No. It's Not A Grateful Dead Poster

2009-03-20T07:18:00.000-07:00

An Abe image I did this week. Still digging through old sketchbooks and making larger versions of stuff. Bottom one is one of the sketches from Atomic Sketch last night.

Stuck

2009-03-13T11:28:00.001-07:00

I shared this image last year in my old sketchbook. Thought I'd make a larger, more detailed version.

This Economy!!!!!

2009-03-12T15:12:00.001-07:00

So, the title needs a little work, yes. But here is the beginning stage of my new piece. I'm kind of on a little kick with animals. Working towards a little show!! Whom I kidding, it will be the BIGGEST art show that has ever been. And I will be the best artist in the world. Stop talking.

2009-02-20T20:41:00.001-08:00

Didn't have to work today so I found myself at the Field Museum this afternoon. Anyone remember those dino-sour eggs? Man those things were sour. Like everlasting gobstoppers, but saliva inducing to the point of pain.

Enjoy.

Meh....

2009-02-20T12:15:00.001-08:00

Just tryin' to keep the dream alive.

2009-02-13T08:16:00.000-08:00

Uh... Yeah, you're probably right, thanks for the heads up.

2009-02-06T20:07:00.000-08:00

This girl kept trying to dance with me at the Gil Mantera show. Her pick up line was the best.

We'za hit 200 posts! Woo!

2009-02-05T15:55:00.000-08:00

Sorry about the lag between werks. The PiL started blocking uploads from work. Weak. Anywho, here's my splash page for my website that I'm working on.

"Honey... I'm late..."

2009-01-31T14:04:00.000-08:00

So, i just mustered the strength to do a postit. This week, most of my energies were dedicated to writing music for a band audition next Tues. Wish me luck.

2009-01-30T13:22:00.000-08:00

Send in the Clowns

2009-01-30T09:09:00.001-08:00

Boot, Scoot, & Boogie

2009-01-22T22:07:00.000-08:00

Remember that song? Boot, Scoot, & Boogie? Man, what a blast from the past. Here is a young gladiator, readying for battle. His only fear is fear.

I want my youth back!

2009-01-16T11:34:00.000-08:00

2009-01-15T17:16:00.001-08:00

I've done a lot of these little postits this week, but i don't want to inundate the site this week. I feel like an asshole for posting so much piddly (i think that's a word) stuff. I'll just leave you with one image. It's an ism i've grown fond of.

blue shoes

2009-01-15T12:46:00.001-08:00

these are my favorite shoes. i was trying to give my
School of the Art Institute id from 1999 to the lady
at Pearl to get my 10% 'student' discount and she
was totally giving me a hard time about it...i was like,
lady, what the hell do you care? and i just played dumb
when she said "i've never even seen one of these id's"
"hm, that's weird, really?" piss off lady. i'm trying to save
a couple bucks. anyway, it was getting uncomfortable when
her co-worker walked up and said EEEEEEWWWW! I luv those
shoes! my granma used to have shoes like that i used to
luooove walkin' around in em"

thanks for takin' the heat off, granny-witch-sadistic-school-teacher-
shoes!

Silk Screens

2009-01-10T09:06:00.001-08:00

It's been awhile. Consider me lazy. I have been doing a lot of personal work still though. Here is a poster I silk screened for Christmas presents. It was a 14 prints deep. I am going to do a second run with the pink bear color way sometime soon...
Hopefully I will find it in my bones to post more often!

Finally

2009-01-10T07:59:00.000-08:00

I've been trying to post stuff the last couple weeks and my work computer no longer allows me to and I just got around to emailing some scans to myself.

This job I've been working on this week is for sheet music for violin. They allowed a lot of creative freedom in the design, so I just enjoyed playing around on yee ol' Photoshop. It's been reeeel.

As for actual factual drawrings, I'm workin' on it. to be continued.....

My Favorite Dictators (cont'd): Daley
