more drawings

the sunday after next

More Next Sunday sketching.
Oh crystal ball, please help me finish this eternal infernal drawing.

Doggies!

More Chrimmas pictures I worked on for friends. :)

Next Sunday?

I'm working on a book cover for a former co-worker of mine about a couple from the 1950's. This cover didn't make the cut because they look too "Abercrombie" and not very "Grease". I like it on it's own as a drawing so I thought I'd post it.
:)

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.

Purr..

In the coming months you'll be seeing alot of these types of deals. Trying to get back into hypermedia type stuff again.
Wish me luck.

CM's Doggie -

Here's the start of a picture I'm working on for a friend of her pooch.
No excuses for poor site upkeep. Just busy busy. :)

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.

The Elephant in the Room

Define it.

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.

Old Territory

I try not to retread places I've already been before with my sketches, but I was called out on my comic nerd-dom the other day and thought I'd pull out my favorite comics..(the X-Men) which feature my favorite character Gambit. Say what you will about him, but I always thought a card throwing, bow staff wielding, trench coat wearing hero was the coolest thing since Wonderbread. I'm still mad he wasn't in the movie, Toad - but no Gambit? Come on!!

I don't read them much now as they appeal to much younger age demographic and reality has set in, but every once in awhile I go back. After all, comics led me to graphic design and the entire art world in the first place.

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.)

Merry X-Mas..

Decided to give some framed artwork this year for Christmas presents. It worked out alot better than an anticipated.
Thought I'd share it with you peeps.
Happy (belated) Holidays..!

7:00's

This is my homage to Zach Braff. I've been watching alot of Scrubs right after work lately. Funny, funny show.

Doodling at Barnes

Deftones

I went to a Deftones Concert this past Weds.... and it was awesome. In the 90's I used to draw all my fav rock groups So I figured to commemorate 96 and an awesome show...I'd draw and add some lyrics. Huzzah!

Mars Volta

I guess I should start drawing pictures of groups I actually listen to on a regular. Oh well, the Televators video was dope.

Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving isn't always about Turkey. Mine this year really wasn't. Sometimes I just don't feel like writing out everything. A pictures is worth a thousand headaches.
