I Hate Mushrooms

Art Vandalay at Aster Cafe

Art Vandalay has a CD release show coming up in the new year and was kind enough to ask me to a poster for it. The Aster Cafe is a nice little spot to drink a beer, eat a flatbread pizza, and listen to some excellent music. Check it out.

Jon Stewart

Doodling while watching The Daily Show - I know it's part of his persona, but every now and then, Jon seems genuinely depressed about what he reports on.

Gasmask - Vector

A very rough sketch in photoshop of a Holiday card I had in mind with Jack Skellington and Oogie Boogie from A Nightmare Before Christmas. Check out the website to see the final version.

Monty

Another excursion through flickr. His name is Monty.

Tornado.

Steve Jobs 1955-2011

Still drawing.

Faces!

Windmill

Playing around with layout and shadows.

George Lucas and a Hipster Smurf

Oh George, what have you done now?

And a hipster smurf. Because why not?

Smashed

I'm in the mood for Fall.

Gingerhead.

The Wizard

I was experimenting with some new brushes in Photoshop but needed a project try them out on. This started out as just a doodle, so the perspective is a little wonky.

Click for judgement.

Eagle Final

And after a few adjustments:

In which an eagle takes interest. Repeatedly.

Madison Episode V

My niece is 5 today. It seems only fitting she should spend it on the planet Hoth. Happy Birthday, Madison.

I'll try to add some color to this later.

Plane Sad

Creepy Clown Massage

Lisa, it's your birthday.

Happy Birthday, Lisa.

Gonzo the Great

Ever get the feeling you spent way too much time on a project?

Vector Art

I've been working all weekend in Illustrator. Have an apple.

Harbor

Another pen and ink sketch in my little sketchbook.

Here we go again

I have been drawing. I promise. Just not posting as regularly as I used to. I'm going to try to throw up what I can. It may not always be pretty, but of course, I seldom am.

Book of Eli

Best scene from Book of Eli features a fight between Denzel Washington and a fat man in a gas mask, rubber overalls, and wielding a chainsaw. After that, the movie tends to go over the top.

a spike lee joint.

Spike Lee is fun to draw.

bicycle.

Been doing a lot of pen and brush sketches in this tiny sketchbook I've had for years to loosen me up and also break in a new brush pen. Added some color for Illustration Friday.

photo study

a close shave.

One dark morning, I grabbed my razor thinking it was my toothbrush.

Fortunately, I realized my error before anything happened.

Comics Comics

A couple of commissioned comics:

I was asked to do a 3 panel strip for PC Solutions to depict the "bad" tech guy who uses overly complicated language to confound clients.

And another comic for 3 Things & Something Else focusing on the American Education System.

Turtleneck

Something Blue

"I've looked around enough to know that you're the one I want to go through time with."

My Valentine's Day gift for Lisa. On March 3rd, we celebrated 4 years together and I actually managed to surprise her with a ring containing a blue sapphire and a not so unreasonable question.

surly girl

surly girl is surly.

at least there's a view.

Started doodling a stump, then added a jar to sit atop. How sickeningly poetic. Wallace Stevens or Sylvia Plath influence? Or just memories of sitting in a cubicle, happy to be in an open area for a change.

Spidey-Sweater

 

I'd wear this entire ensemble, given the opportunity. When I was regular commuter on the 6 bus downtown, I'd see a guy in Carhart coveralls and red ski mask that had a spider-man likeness scrawled on with a sharpie. He earned my respect that day.
