Snowman break

An older piece, but whatever.

Judith (update)

My wife and I just went to Alaska on a vacation and this is basically the only sketch I did during the whole week. It was some lady that unknowingly followed us around the airport. She was a bit of a nut. She looks like a Judith.

Update: I just found a photo we secretly snaped of her. She the lady that left her bag unattended at the check-in, and when we asked if it was hers, she said "no". Then, after the security guys show up, she says it IS hers. And later, she is the one who walked right past the huge line that everybody has to wait in at the security check point, and goes right up to the front. What the..!? Then, from clear across the terminal, she walk to within a few feet of me, looks at my face, and then just walks away. Nutty I tell ya. How could I not draw her?

Jaws

Oh man, I've been a slacker. Here is a recent shark filled Wall Street Journal piece I did. It was for some article about the dangers of investing and inflation or something like that. I didn't read the article. Me just drawz the pictures.

Dangerous Waters

I recently did this for the Wall Street Journal. I thought it was fun to do a underwater scene. Cheers.

Frog Prince

This was a cover I did for a dating book a while back. Helping young girls find their prince.

Gladiator

I haven't been able to post for a while because I've been hanging out in blogger limbo. For some reason when everything switched to the new blogger I got left behind, but thanks to Shane I'm back in. Here is my gladiator from last week. I often find myself with that same stupid look on my face right before I go to battle.

I dug up some old mermaids studies from the past. Nothing great. Someday I would like to do a real mermaid painting. I thought this topic might get me motivated but it isn't looking very good. Oh well, someday.

Hmmm, maybe the girl on the bench is underwater... or maybe she is a mermaid of the legged variety...or maybe she was just on the same piece of paper and I'm too lazy to crop.

Makin' Fire

I combine the Illustration Friday topic and the caveman topic and got this. Not very finished. Work is keeping me busy.

This is an old one that I dug up from the crypt. I didn't have time to draw a new one, but it's too good of a topic to pass up.

Tini Drac sketch

It's like a mod vampire at a poetry reading. Lame, I know.

Froggy

Okay so he doesn't have a tie, but he does have a poka-dot joggin suit. This is an old painting but it's a frog and it looks like he could be going courtin'.

More pirates

Great stuff from everybody. Here is a quick page of pirate sketches.

Peg

Avast! I was sketching whatever comes to mind and because of the topic, everything turns into pirates. This turned into a color experiment for me, using a limited pallet. Pirates are cool.

Old Duffers

Great stuff from everybody this week. Here is a page of old guy sketches. If I have time I'll paint one of em.

Tiny Cowboy

Here is a little doodle of a cowboy to get things started. And I mean little (2x4). This started out as a thumbnail sketch, but I liked it, so I just threw on a little wash. Okay pardners, Draw!

Cow-pig

Maybe not so scary as the Killer Whagon or creepy as the Ape-worm (Hmmm I wonder if this is why my daughter has a tummy ache?), but it is a crossbreed. Actually, this is part of job I just recently finished for Innovative Kids. I had to do ten different farm animals that could be taken apart and rearanged. Pretty fun really. I also did a small board book that goes along with them. After the book gets published I might post some more of the mixed-up animals, but until then enjoy the Cow-pig.

Rosie

She was the Jetson's housekeeper. Basicly the perfect woman. A little vaccuum and a whole lotta va va voom.

Captain Hand Puppet

I've been invited to participate in the Toon Club. Thanks guys. It's a honor to hang with such talented people. I hope I can regularly put stuff up. I missed the last topic by a smidge, but I can't miss the opportunity to post useless superheroes. It's like my favorite thing to draw. Something about superheros that serve no purpose is soo funny to me. This is an old one, but it is still a useless superhero. When you fight crime with hand puppets the world is your stage! (It's just tiny-- a little puppet theater.)

I like the new topic. I'll need to think about this one... hmmmmm
