Bowling Day!

Yo. This past Saturday I went to my bro's bowling league, and I was bored... and this page appeared.
I freaking hate that clown. I hate clowns. I would tell you the story of this clown, but I think I will save that for the day I am brave enough to draw the terror that was our encounter. In other news, I was so enamored with hideous little special Joe there, that I had to make him even more special!




That is probably the worst photoshop job I have done in years... and Joe deserves it! Let's have ahand for Joe!

*Crickets chirping*

Marlon Brando... sort of.

Hey. This is a little project I did for the dude running One Duck's Opinion, when someone claimed him to be the Don of the Ducks, and someone else said they could picture Marlon Brando as... well, you'll see.

First off, the man himself, and the original suggested duck to combine him with. It, er, didn't work out. (Language warning for this one, by the way)


So I think you can see where this is going. A progress page:



And finally, the inked image:



Now I admit I got a little lazy on the colouring here... For the love of Bob, I spent a week turning this poor man into a mallard, gimme a break!!

Sons of Butcher Fan Art

I've been working on these since, well, since I saw these guys live in concert and it blew my mind right out my left ear. Anyway, I did Doug, the bassist first, way back in November:




I kind of rushed the inking on that one, for which I have already kicked myself, but eh - you live, you learn. Now with Ricky, the guitarist/lead singer, hoo boy did I run into trouble. I'd never drawn a guitar before, I have little experience drawing husky dudes, his pose was difficult, and it took about 7 tries to get the colouring of his clothes anywhere near right. Guh.


Considering all the trouble that last one was, I'm pretty proud of it, especially the guitar. It really looks like a guitar, doesn't it? *Beams*

First image post - under the junk category, I think.

I was flipping through my sketchbook and I found the page that got me thinking about starting a drawing blog. See, I showed this to my brother, and he went, 'wow, you should post this on an art journal or something.' So here we go.



I drew this at 2 am, about a week before I decided to quit the latest retail job. I believe I'm yelling at a golf tee in the upper left corner there. I love the crap that comes out of my brain.

A new beginning?

A lot has been going on lately.

I recently left my fashion retail job for one at a more prestigious store... then learned it wasn't at all how I thought it would be there. This got me thinking, what is it I really want? What do I really want to do with my life? What makes me happy? I realized I didn't know - but I did know I couldn't stand retail any longer.

Now I'm unemployed. What do I want to do most with my life? I'm not sure. What do I want to do most right now? Draw. And share my drawings with anyone who cares to see them. So I have a drawing blog now. I can't call it an 'art' blog, because nothing I've produced up until this moment can really be called 'art', so for now it will house my drawings, my rants, whatever comes out of my brain and splatters onto the computer.

Here goes.
