6pm - 10pm.

hope to see you there.

because you all begged for it

more drawings!!! this is the initial sketch for a painting I'm going to do for the good vs. evil show this December. We have to do one good painting one evil painting, so I'm going to do two zombie cowboys...mirror images of each other, one in a black hat, one in a white hat...the "evil" zombie will be saying "brains", while the other will say kittens or something...haven't really decided yet...but at least i started...well, i have an idea anyway...

a rocker drawing inspired by Tim's new game "Brutal Legend"...gunna be awesome.

Igor with a martini, of course.

a girl and a Frankenstein....yeah.

and a rockabilly chick with a gun..oh, and she's in her bra and panties...reow! So, there....some drawings for you kids, no please stop with the begging...sheesh...it's just sad...what is that you say? you didn't beg...okay...well, whatever helps me sleep at night. anyway...go over to Esther's blog and watch the video of her coloring...and being a general freak...she's just like us...it's awesome.

Esther's first Cintiq drawing...

so Esther dropped by my work yesterday to show off her Yoda costume...freakin' sooo cute...as Dev said "something that cute should come with it's own vomit bag"...which i agree...sometimes she's just soo cute it gives you stomach cramps...it's awesome. Anyway...she sat on my lap and took over my photoshop session...and this is what she came up with...nice huh? she's already doing the thick to thin lines and stuff...she's brilliant!

a new drawing and a picture of Esther...

lil' Billy hasn't been brushing...and the Fairy is a little annoyed. Always floss kids.

and a photo of Esther at the park on a brisk sunny weekend afternoon...sooooo freakin' cute.

i began to hate my old cereal box art...

so, seeing all the really awesome stuff that people were sending in to the cereal killers thing...the more I began to loathe what I sent....so I made a new one...with some gore...and an eyeball...so, yeah...enjoy.

another quick drawring...

a zombie on prom night...

Another 15-20 minute sketch...i'm loving doing these little quick drawrings...granted the art that comes out of it is so-so, but it's forcing me to be a little more sloppy, i mean, sketchy...which I like...and it's forcing me to just go with things, and try to not overthink stuff...it's not really helping my line quality, but i think it will eventually...if not, I will take it out back and shoot it. Anyway...happy Wednesday.

milestone done'd

so I did a really, really quick crap sketch of a girl hurting the little ears of a dino...so...yeah...I'm tired...anyway...thanks for stopping by.

illustration friday "alphabet"

having fun with the cintique...and color...it's fun...feel free to judge harshly...there will be no snot bubbles coming from me...

because you've been good...

i just thought i should also send yas here...it's my company's blog...we are teh cool.

hey look, it's changed...

made a few tweaks and stuff...so there. take that mr. poopy pants.

and just in case some of you are wondering, it's fer a book called cereal killers, info can be found here. He contacted me to participate and I was more than happy to do so...there's going to be a bunch of high rollers attatched to this project, so to be included in that group is awesome!! Anyway...just thought I'd let you kids know.

screw the work in progress...

So the thing was to make a creepy/horror themed cereal box cover...so I decided to go with the Creature from the Black Lagoon...because he's often forgotten aboot...and here is what I did...I don't know if I'm happy with it or not...it seems a little bland and crap...I tried to make it look somewhat like the poster...yet a cereal box at the same time...I dunno...eh. Anyway..feel free to critique and tear it apart. I won't hurt you...I'll just cry in the corner like I do every night...oh, and Esther's now eating apples...so that's pretty cool. She's also eating other babies...I'm not sure what that's all about, but I think that's just standard toddler behavior. She has to try out her new teeth. Anyway...don't forget to call your mother and tip your waitress.

work in progress...

I done apologizing for being busy...hehe...for now...anyway...just thought I'd show you a work in progress version of what I'm doing for this thing for that guy with the face...it's a mixture of photoshop and flash...anyway...not much for a post I know, but it's in color and stuff...so that should count for something, right? I'd show you more, but I'm going to stretch it out over a couple of posts because I'm evil that way...kiss kiss...hug hug, and fondle, fondle.

holy crap...has that much time transpired?!?

wow...over a month...sheesh...well, i guess you deserve an explanation...works been really great and really busy...milestone and all...plus Huddle went to Alaska for five days leaving me in charge of Esther....and she decided that the day Huddle left was the time to try climbin' outta the crib and doing an awesome flip and landing flat on her back. it was a 9.1...she didn't stick the landing...but, she's only 17 months...give her time...also, i've been asked to do a picture for a coffeetable book...i'll show you kids when i finish it...it should be soon...soo much has gone on and is going on...the wife and I are making the move to the east side..we'll be about a ten minute walk from work...which is totally aresome. uh...what else...i got to work with Mr. Trussell on some fun stuff..and...and....Esther really likes me. so i have that going for me, which is nice. Anyway, have a good evening, and i'll talk to you real soon...honest. cross my fingers.

suit

so i'm a day late...like you care...sigh...this is for Illustration Friday's Suit catagory...werd up.

kitty ete a boid

so it's been a little while..sheesh...back off...it's not like anyone's coming here anymore...hehe...anyway...did this during rendering...so, there you goes...i'm gunna try and take an hour every monday to draws me somefin and i'll post it no matter how horrible it is...so beware. awesome. see you then.

to answer some questions...

my new gig is still in warshington, Kirkland actually...still doing game animation...amongst other responsibilities...like getting everyone coffee and changing their diapers and whatnot...i don't remember those last two in my job description, but, alas...i get the metal stick if i don't comply...so, yeah...i don't like the metal stick...it's cold and it hurts when they strike me about the head and feet....of course I'm kidding...it's actually rough wood so there's splinters...yay.

Holy crap!! it's been two weeks allready?!?

The new job is awesome!! I can't believe it's been two weeks allready..sheesh...time just flies by here...it's one of those things where you wake up at seven am..a little tired, but psyced to go to work, then you get to work start working on cool stuff, then someone tells you it's lunch time. You get back from lunch, and before you know it, it's six thirty...it's the radical. Anyway...sorry long time no post, will post more soon and stuff...just been busy and things...so, yeah...hope your mother's day was fun. Huddle's first mother's day was pretty good...thanks for asking. Talk to yous later.

and so it begins....

I start me new job on Monday...yay!! It'll be good to work on stuff that's a little more me...plus i get to work with great people and stuff...so, uh, yeah...here's an angry monkey in a sweater vest. Enjoy.

the 40oz show was excellent!!

with a kiss from my daughter I was off this weekend to Vancouver to go to the fabulous 40oz show!! Lemme tell yous, a good time was had by all, well, most...the person who threw up didn't have a good time....hehe...photos here...

Here's the man who put it all together. Mike G, whose bottle kicked much butt by the way...the photo I took of it really sucked...granted, this was after I discovered the bar upstairs, so that might have had something to do with it....maybe...prolly not tho.

Here's my friends bottles, together at last...Trussell and Augie's beautiful bottles in one glorious photo!!

and here's Jodi. Schmiddy, and Gina...they rocketh...Jodi really rocks it hard!! She is awesome. Just thought you should know. respect.

some girl on girl action...to which schmiddy gave this face...

...awww yeah!

here's schmiddy's kitty Mr. Kitty...

and Baxter...i believe his name is Baxter...he likes his belly rubbed...so, in conclusion, I had such a blast...had a few drinks, and stuff...thanks Mike for putting this thang on...i had such a blast...

holy crap!!

This totally inspired me to draw the above sleestak...i love those guys!! Anyway...nice to see you again...please come again.

frankenberry's weird.

kinda weird to put a monster in a pink spandex body suit with chain suspenders and strawberry fingernails, and a pressure cooker head? weird...or genius?!?? See you in Vancouver. and apparently i do a lot of opened mouth pointing drawings...sigh...i'm stuck in a rut...somebody shoot mes.

it's back baby!!

the super villian challenge is back!!! whoot! Here's my quick sketch entry of Mxyzptlk...hehehe...he has a tiny penie..hehehe...

Lois Lane tried to steal my daughter!!!!

...sorta...well, not really...Margot Kidder was at Emerald City Comic Con this weekend when the family and I showed up to see what we could steal from Karin's booth. We all walked by and Margot saw the beauty that is Esther and she was mesmerized. She held her and Esther even got her to do the "oh no" thing that she makes grown ups do to look funny....she puts both of her hands on each side of her head and shakes it back and forth...well, she'll do it if we say "oh no!"...but she did it for Margot and Margot did it back...she then signed a photo for Esther...we picked the one where you can see superman's package standing next to Lois Lane...hehe...oh, and she fell and hit her head on the cement, but it really wasn't my fault...honest.


oh, and she's back to the whole posing thing for the cameras...sigh...it's almost so cute that it could cause siezures. Doesn't it kinda look like those depresingly cute photos that come with frames? The ones that say, your kid isn't this adorable, but buy this frame anyway...well, my kid is that adorable...so there frame companies!! I've beaten you at your own game! Your mearly cute children in frames is nothing compared to the raw power of Eshter's dimples....bwaaaaahahahahahahahahaah...or something.



and I think i get to go the the 40oz show in Vancouver!! It'll be hard to be away from Pancake...I'm the one who puts her to bed, but it should be fun to see my friends, and people who I've only met via blogs and stuff...hope to see you there?

Well, I've finished my bottles...

So here's some photos of my bottles for the forty show....once I finished them, I realized three things....one, that painting on bottles is haaaaard...two, that I'm not a good painter (tho it is fun), and three, these looked soooooooooo much better in my head...so forgive me. Color really isn't my forte...I'm most comfortable with pencil and/or ink...maybe one or two colors tops...anyway...i have no idea how much to price these things...I'll let Mike price them...hehe...


I was playing around with sponges on the monkey bottle...it didn't turn out that well...kinda hard to have any kind of stencil with a bottle...and plus, I've just never done it before...

and here's one of Esther...and her banana slug hair clip that Karin made...damn...i feckin' love this thing...so does Esther...so, bug her 'bout making tons more so you can buy them too!! She has a whole bunch of different animals and stuff...chicken leg, dead fish, octpopus...and all of them are the rad.

if you're near seattle on April 7th.

...if you want. No pressure. A bunch of us who worked on this anthology comic thingie will be there to sign copies if anyone wants to purchase one..or not...whatever...sigh.

some Esther...and a crap drawing

here's Esther at the park....she loves the mirrors.
Here she is "napping"....

And here's the crap drawing i was talking aboot...yeah, i know it's generic and it was inked fer poo, but, hey, it's all i have for now...i've been busy the past few weeks and stuff...so there. Anyway...thanks for all the kind brithday wishes and stuff. I'm now officially old. Yay. Talk to you kids soon.

esther's better than you

here's the inital sketch that inspired one of my bottles for the forty show in vancouver. I might even be able to go to the show...and crash on schmiddy's couch, which is always fun...but he now apparently has face eating kittens now, so that should be nice. anyway...the show should be pretty cool...mike g is putting it together. So if you're in the arer, drop by and buy my pieces.

some crap for you to behold

so yeah. Yesterday Esther went to the doctor's again for her follow up..and got four shots, two per thigh...which completly sucked. it totally sucks having to hold your kid down while someone sticks them with needles...and one of the shots was the flu shot...another was polio....i forgot what the others were, protection against groundhogs i think. Anyway...she got a fever last night...she was miserable...couldn't get comfortable and stuff...we gave her some tylonol or how ever you speel it...too lazy to look it up. This morning she was all smiley and happy, not feverish...so yay!!! I hate not being able to help her. sigh...i suck. anyway...how was your evening?

here's some random screaming heads and stuff.
