more ponies

I just noticed how terribly washed out the digital picture is.

hooray for ponies.

Pony!!!!

more ponies to come

Sketchbook

Here are some mostly coloured drawing from my sketchbook. Happy Easter.

still no scanner

so here's a bad picture of a painting I did a while back..... so sloppy

Phooey

I was gonna post some other stuff tonight but my scanner is broken. So instead, here is a birthday card I made for Sid awhile ago. Nothing says happy birthday like a rodeo frog.

I just went through my blog archive and realized what a bad year 2008 was for me in an arty way. For some reason I thought I wanted to draw and paint more realistically. I think some alien leech must have slipped into my ear and controlled my brain. I can pin point the time when things really went down hill. It was when I had to paint realistic cars everyday. It was the most creatively numbing thing. I HATE drawing cars. If I ever am asked to do something like that again, I will probably quit and serve coffee until I find something NOT realistic and car related. I am now trying to fix the situation by watching Donald Duck and Looney Toons and ordering a ton of books with Mary Blair stuff in them. When I was a kid I loved how round, appealing, and colourful the Donald and Mickey shorts were. Looney Toons were on every Sunday night, and luckly my dad loves them as much as I do, so we watched them every week. (Actually, my dad still gets excited about those cartoons...he's a really good dad.) And I know that I loved the colours in Alice in Wonderland and Cinderella many years before I knew who Mary Blair was. So I am trying to overdose on those things I love.

Holy fucking shit am I glad that's over.

forgotten drawings

I try not to turn on my computer that much. When I do turn it on, sometimes I find old drawings. It's like looking through an old sketchbook. Here's some sketches from both places.

bus people I would really like a mask like the one on the right. These ladies were not on the bus. They are fictional.

and some boys and older ladies.

sick of looking at stooooopid superman post.

I dream about Superman

I love it when I have funny dreams. Last night I dreamt that I was helping out Superman because Bizzaro had stolen some crystals that were needed to save the Earth. On our way to get the crystals back, we stopped at a community centre to have lunch. We both got pulled pork sandwiches. I was mad because I really hate pork and won't eat it. Then I woke up, ready for Tuesday.

More life drawings and paintings

Soon I will get around to posting something other than life drawing....for now here's some more life drawing. The top painting is an acrylic study, the middle drawings are life drawings where I added some costumes, and the bottom sketches are from the most recent dr.sketchy's

Edit* Here is a non life drawing doodle

burlesque life drawing

Here are some drawings from Dr. Sketchy's a couple weeks back. Some of the drawings got a bit smushed after scanning and reassembly in Photoshop.

lost and found

I meant to post this guy a little while ago. I forgot, and then he got absorbed into the giant pile of forgotten drrawings on my floor.

some sketches

Here is a sketch from a few nights back and some life drawing.

I think I would post more if I didn't hate scanning sooooooooo much. Everything I draw is always too big to fit in the scanner and I have to scan it in pieces and then reassemble in Photoshop. poo.

100

Since I haven't posted in over two months, here is a smattering of stuff I've thought about posting, but never got around to it.

I should have known better than to colour something digitally outside of work....can never muster up the enthusiams to sit in front of the computer longer than I need to....hence the scribbliness. I may still do a marker versions of this guy.
tiny and quick sketch to play with oils.
I think I may have done this last year.
She is somebody's baby.
This is a bad digital pic of the lizard butI am too lazy to take a better one. It's the biggest thing I've completed in a long time. About 19x24ish. Actaully, it's one of the only things I've completed in a long time.

another rough

quick and random

just playing for a bit.

Cowboys

Last night I finally watched the MNgnificent Seven. I drew some cowboys!

I don't know how to draw guns very well...

mean ladies

I've started doing some random paintings where I just start painting and see what comes out. Usually it turns into a portrait of a nasty looking woman.
