Cassie

I was trying to surprise my mother with another picture of her adopted pet Cassie (aka Meat). I think this is a first attempt rather than a final, Meat isn't really so "dark" - she's a happy jumpy little thing.

Limp Bizkit Illos from the Vault

I was heavy into rap-rock and comics when I first got to Norfolk. So I re-drew lots of the cd covers and imagery contained in them to get a feel for the styles. I was a big L.B. fan for a very long time.

3D Cows

EINSTEIN

Spiderman, Venom, Deadpool

When I first figured out that the drawing thing was "cool", I decided to draw ALL the things I thought were cool. I would go through comic books and redraw (my way) my favorite poses. These sketches are around 9 years old, but they never got to see anything beyond the flap of the sketch book. If I had a blog then, I would have posted them then. So I'm going to start showing some older stuff for the next few months, whilst I work on my "website".
My fingers are black with conte crayons as I pull this stuff out, but I thought it may be a fun blast from the past.

Not a fluffy affair..

This is my first non-pet/person illo I've attempted in a while (besides my soda bottles that I doodle sitting on my desk). I may try a technology series just to see how well my style meshes with different "non-living" things.

HWANGTIN!

Coming to a wedding chapel near you.

Another "little" something

I'm working on.

Freelancee Drum Gig

Some beginning ideas for a freelance GD job I'm working on.

PENGUINS - WEREWOLF

Possibly the rarest breed of carnivorous penguin. Don't worry fish, he only comes out during the full moon.

Baby-Q

This technically doesn't fall under the realm of "illustration" - but I had fun designing this.

PENGUINS - BLOB

This was loosely based on the Blue Mt. Dew slurpee at 7-11.

PENGUINS - ZOMBIE

It's time for our Frozen Food book at work, so for a few weeks I'll be making penguins left and right. Here's my first "monstrous" creation.

Roses Bloom (in Heaven)

My mom put an excerpt from an old hymn in the paper today.

Then she whispered birds are singing
Songs of melody
And I see the roses blooming
While the angels beckon me

Then mother whispered
In the land so bright and fair
When the roses are blooming
There will be no parting there

This is a picture I sketched out real quick for mom to run with her quote in paper ad today. They couldn't run the illo for whatever reason, so I'll run it here.

Mag Pictures

Found this guy in a magazine.
Thought he had interesting hair.

HOUSE - Attempts

I've noticed sometimes my pictures vary widely in style. While lack of consistency is frowned upon in most "design" blogs, I'm trying to work out which style I want to settle into, so for here I think it'll be fine.

These are my first two attempts at drawing one of my favorite TV characters.
I'm going to keep trying 'til I get this my style AND looking like him sorta.

Cassie/Meat

This is my mom's adopted/part-timer pet Meat. She's a travel sized Terrier who looks similar to a brown Spider Plant. This is one of two sketches I did for her, I'm choosing the other option for color and framing, but this one I thought still merited a showing or two.

OBAMA

I'm working on revamping my "Hope" Poster with something more relevant to things happening after the election. This was a really loose sketch based on a poster in my room. He's looking a little like Nathan on Heroes at the moment. I'm working on it.

OEF Mouthy Broads

My friend G makes these fantastic little sculptures called "Mouthy Broads". These are the three I asked her to make for me. At some point when I have a few quiet moments I'm going to ink these and post them as a comic or a gif.

Concert Poster

AND... another two I'm submitting for free-tix.
These are fun if only because I'm doing them for no other reason than personal amusement.
