Drawing: Sketch

Busy, busy, busy is what I've been lately. I felt like drawing though so I had to wrestle my Wacom back from my lovely wife. Of course, in order to do so I had to exchange it (temporarily, until we decide to by a third, larger tablet) with a much smaller stand-in tablet that I picked up on eBay for cheap.  read more »

I originally thought of naming this one "Same Great Taste" because then it would be funny and ironic because of this figure's expression. But then the more I looked at it, the more mad the guy looked, so I went with "Road Rage" instead.  read more »

This drawing is based on someone that I (used to) have to interact with on a regular basis. He always had several gadgets hanging off his belt (large PDA in a hanging belt-case, ratchet-phone case, etc), because he was convinced someone would steal his crap if he left it at his workstationParanoid much?. I won't even mention the glow-in-the-dark calculator watchSeriously..  read more »

A recent doodle. Not sure of the inspiration (if any), but I like the mad expression on this little rug-demon. Also unsure if I will develop this further, but it's off to a funny head start.

This image is related to the "A Wild Thing" post of last week. The "(R2)" in the title relates to the revision state of the piece (in this case, the image has been updated, a background has been added), as well as being the second "release" or publication of the image.

This sketch wants to stomp right off of the page, apparently. This reminds me of Maurice Sendak's Where The Wild Things Are. I always loved that book as a kid. I may have to develop this further.

Something that I was messing with earlier tonight. This is far from finished and needs some serious work at the sketch level. Despite all this I still kind of like his cackling expression.

I think I may do a whole series along these lines, with a theme celebrating has-beens and burn-outs. I feel inspired.

Something I was working on earlier tonight. The drawing isn’t finished yet, but I like the digital color work, so maybe it will stop here as it is. Time will tell.

This is hot off the press, something I just finished sketching the other night. The central character looks OK when heavily downsampled to a JPEG, but the background looks so exquisite in the uncompressed version that it’s a shame to see it completely pixelated and lost in this “Web-friendly” version. :(  read more »

I came across this in one of my sketchpads recently… the face looks so familiar. Did I subconciously rip this character from something else I’ve seen? Hmmmm…anyway, he looks like he a good start on a comic character.
