Carney Clown Time

Finally, I steal a few spare minutes with a scanner so I can post something!

Space Queen: redux

And now, in technicolor! I heart Photoshop and the Cintiq!

Inaria, Queen of the 3rd Moon of Jupiter

I'm getting very excited about this ink wash thing. It's a lot of fun, although a bit of a mess. I have to remember to factor in drying time, which means drawings thrown all around, ready to get stepped on.



2 Minute poses

CALIFORNIOS

Legends of Old California. I like to make up stories in my head as I do these three to five minute gestures in life drawing. Definitely Zorro, or some masked Mestizo, and Ramona.

And, a new technique for me - the waterbased brush pen followed by a real brush dipped in water, then the India Ink brush pen and whiteout - the kind with the ball point tip. Kinda stressful juggling all those tools, half of them held between my teeth, and ink smeared all over my face. Plus, I'm completely paranoid I'll tip the paper cup full of water over onto all the potato chip wrinkling drawings that are drying all around my drawing bench. What a scene. It's like performance art.

GESTURE DRAWINGS

OK, so I've been going to life drawing regularly, and things are getting more interesting.

I will go to life drawing regularly

I will go to life drawing regularly. I will go to life drawing regularly. I will go to life drawing regularly. I will go to life drawing regularly. Is that how to spell regularly? It looks weird.


You know what though? Every time I've gone to figure drawing, it's been the same guy... You can see him in some earlier posts too. Hmm. Looks like his bottom half is bigger than his top half in that second drawing.

BUTCH CASSIDY

Another fintastic short I made a while ago:

Finally, the cartoon Ruth lives!

My friend Sarah Miller and I made a cartoon short for the Live Earth. Saturday, we were stoked - our cartoon aired on NBC right after Al Gore's speech. Plus, now it'll be shown on HBO! Check it out - it's 2 minutes long:

Inconvenient Ruth: the moving picture

Inconvenient Ruth

A concept drawing of Ruth, for the little film that'll be aired at Live Earth.

Rose? -redux-

I'm still trying to figure out what she looks like, and can't seem to find her...

space chick

Must stop...alias sketch... tablet pc... Argh.

Cookie -- Sleeping

The dog passed out makes a good drawing subject. Trying this wacom, but it's like drawing blind.

Orangey black and white sketches

Cream Team

Hot motorcycle chicks in a dystopic post-apocalyptic Los Angeles. What could be better? Actually, the rest of the pitch sentence would make it more interesting...

Kim Possible

Working in the style of Steve Silver.

Loud Boy

David Steinberg's fabulous graphic novel, LOUD BOY. Early on, I got a chance to contribute to it. ed. note: Just came out! 2008

Rose?

I'm not sure what she should look like...
