Greg's Uncanny B-day Illustration

My favorite X-man has always been the cajun. :)
For Greg -
who appreciates comics despite gaps in the "continuum."

Meg D and the Cupcakes

For Megan - who waited patiently nearly two years for me to sit down and finish this for her. :)

Nicely's

Something I was working on for my friend Scarlet. I haven't really settled on a style yet. Cartoony? Dark? Portraitee?

Perry's

This was a birthday present for a coworkers brother.

Jen's Tattoo Party

I got perhaps my funniest "notes" on this illo that I've gotten to date.
1. Add manly hair
2. Increase package
3. "Up-size" Rack
4. Pet-lypo

Who says work can't be fun!

VIRGOS UNITE!!

Attention OEF Readers (but just the ones that actually like me..)
SHAMELESS PROMOTION LIKE MACY GRAY AT THE GRAMMYS!!

I'm celebrating my Birthday with several friends (you may know) at Baxters, this Saturday from 9 to whenever.....

It's casual..think Happy Hour on Saturday. I'd love to see some peeps that haven't came out in awhile. Presence not "presents" is all that I'd like. Buying me or one of the other virgos a shot would be fantastic, but not required.

All zodiac signs are welcome, but extra hugs should be given for those who have August and Sept. Bdays.

Air Hugs!
Lavapony....

Patty B

I did this for one of my friends as a "tattoo".

Sunny & Paul

I did this as a Xmas present for my friend Sunny who so graciously hooked me up with Tori Amos tix and NoVA room and board despite my treacherous D.C. driving ability and Typhoid Mary - like sinus infection.

Lavaponyland Commissions

Thank goodness this isn't a news column - Right?
I've done a woeful job of updating my own art blog. It's my noncommittal nature to anything I suppose. At any rate, I'm working on commissions. I'm actually trying to draw a 50's style couple standing by a creek. That's all the description I got, so I'm gonna do it my way like Burger King. A few months and software ahead I wanna make this a website with a blog, versus say just this blog. I work in trade for most jobs, so if you have some music, an adventure trade *friends* only (i.e. field trip) I can probably draw something for you.

It's my goal by the end of September to have some old school family portraits - pics of my grand-dad and grandmother back when the dinosaurs walked.

Soo in the meantime, here's the tentative OEF logo I built - It won't make it to the final draft due to fashion inconsistencies, but after that's resolved -- Keep your eyes peeled.

So, one of my room-mates was in a bad car accident. That luckily was not as bad as it could have been - (which subsequently took away all 3 of my room-mates).

So here's my little get well card.

Leslie's Angels

There's been a rampant crime spree on the streets of Clifton Forge these days. (And no, I don't mean a runaway cow.)
So who do you call, The Angels of course.

A Reyes Reinterpretation

I've reinterpreting alot of other people's family pictures lately (for fun, for modest commissions, or for presents.) I must say it's alot of fun just hearing the story's behind the pictures and making my own while I drawn them. Since I got this one off of a photograph, I misinterpreted what was supposed to be a clutch bag as a piece of someone's pants. Turns out the person in question was not wearing silk creme colored pants as I thought (thank goodness) but wearing black trousers. S. assures me that said person keeps up with fashion trends. )And was not wearing silky pants.)

Tuxedo Un-Masked??

One of my friends loves Sailor Moon, and since he didn't make the Sailor Scouts team I figured he could assist Tuxedo Mask.
