NEW

2007-02-02T03:19:00.000-04:00

Heres some designs from george of the jungle.....both were modified after i did these, so i think its safe to post these up.....sorry for the quality, my scanner is currently my digital camera.

the octopus one, george is supposed to be milking the octopus, but i wasnt allowed to show nipples, so that was removed....i dont get how that works..youd think if a cartoon can milk an octopus, youd be able to show what hes doing? guess i was wrong. the other dude is a monster or something, not to sure.

SHOW

2006-11-13T14:06:00.000-04:00

kids!

okay everyone, heres whats going on:

i am wanting to put on a massive art show with a theme, as i may or may not have found a venue for one. this place is massive by the way. i had some ideas, but if any of you want to toss some ideas up in the air, feel free! im looking for something phenominal.

here are some of the themes i had:

40:
a show where there are 40 artists displaying their works on a 40 oz bottle of your favorite malt liquor. its a toss up between bull max and the black label big ten haha.

terry:
a show dedicated to the man terry fox. try to make it a fundraiser show.

two-tone:
every artist does up two pictures using only two colors.

so yeah, if you want to do a show, make a comment on this post saying youre in, and we shall talk further.

Chapter 2:

2006-09-29T13:22:00.000-03:00

Hohoh, You thought I was gone......Had no faith in me, well IM BACK BABY!
yeah, ill admit, i got busy, and work took over my life, but today is the last day! in celebration, im posting everything i could find! mostly unfinished of course, but its someting!

expect more now that im a freee man!

oh, the airplane sick bag, funny story with this one haha.....the night before leaving new brundswick from my contract from fatkat, I called a meeting with my crew, my NB crew, and said "YO, we gotta do things right here, lets play a game" ....
that game was edward 40 hands. now, most people dont know what this horrible game is, but its involving two bottles of 40 ounce malt liquor bottles, such as colt 45....my personal favorite is a magical bottle called Bull max. it rocks. anyways, new Brundswick dont carry the Bull, so i had to substitute with colt 45s. no worries. so, this gaem, you have to duct tape a 40 to each hand. the whole purpose of the game is to get gooned. still with me? good. yeah, needless to say, i got so sick that i couldnt pack my bags ( diddnt eat anything all day.....big mistake folks), or clean up my mess from the house. i was puking everywhere! i get on the plane, i puked like 7 times. this old lady scolded me for being in the bathroom too long, then made a scene when she saw the pukey bathroom! hahaha, i dont even care! so , anyways, still sick, i figured that some rum would cure me. so , all pukey, im drinking rum like a madman, then draw all these retarded drawings, alot of them i gave to my friend, they were pretty offensive haha ( but ill see if i can get them back to scan )... anyways, heres a treat from 40,000 feet up. oh, and the rest of this stuff, its all recent. but i wanted to tell the story of my alcohol abuse. enjoy!

trying to get back in this

2006-09-14T02:34:00.000-03:00

its so easy to get over ambitious and then *CRASH*

you lose your mind for awhile. you overdid it, and all your creative aspects go out the window. Im getting back into it again, but i needed a break from it.

plus, working 9-5 drawing all the time , you dont want to draw on the time off. you want to spend it socializing ! meet someone of the opposite sex, make bad jokes and go home alone!

you know what im talking about.

anyways, now with that said, heres something for ya!

now if only i can work on pics of characters interacting with one another. keep wishing..

2006-09-08T21:50:00.000-03:00

Whoa, sorry about all that! I kinda hit a creative slump for awhile, felt pretty drained, but im back now, hopefully! heres a little something for you all, Im not really sure if its off model or not, cant really tell at this point of time. ill check back later.

The Volunteerz Mixtape cover

2006-08-20T22:42:00.000-03:00

Wow, finally finished this one. doing characatures kinda sucks! So what I did for this one, which was kind of a cool experiment was trace photographs , adding my own quirky lines to it to add to the flavor. its kind of fun doing this because you get to experiment with different facial features, such as jowels, imperfections, and hair. actually, the hair i learned the most from. i think after doing this, it really tightened my style. I probably should explain what this is though! this image is the cover for a CD that me and all these guys worked on. after being hounded by them all for not working on it , I decided to step it up and get going. Im happy with the results, Hope you all like it!

Can you spot me in here?

Modelling Just Sucks

2006-07-22T18:20:00.000-03:00

heres a little film that me and my good friend james richards were working on when i was on duty at fatkat animation. we never had a chance to work on it much cause we got broadsided with crazy ( i mean crazy) deadlines for the last two months. its something i wanted to start up again, as it was real fun working on, making real ugly characters in the fashion industry. can you tell i was real into john K's work then?

anyways, we're thinking about getting the band back together. ill be composing the music for it too, so yeah, it should be solid.

crits?

try not to melt this weekend!

just tossin some stuff together for a portfolio. just finished this. i wanted to keep it all traditional, but the pen i was using tends to hate prismacolor pens. makes for an awful mess. so here is my digital coloring attempt. enjoy!

off model but alright

2006-06-23T03:30:00.000-03:00

this is so off model its not funny. crooked neck, big forarms, off balance, etc etc. guess thats what happens when youre all anxious to ink something without caring how it looks. at least im getting better at inking.

2006-06-17T01:34:00.000-03:00

Did this for the Voltage Munny show next saturday. sure to win the ladies hearts over with his world renown crooning abilities.
To be honest, I had alot of fun trying to paint on something that wasnt flat, but at the same time, it was one of the most stressful things ever! well, hope you enjoy my efforts. it was most certainly one.
