You Wanna Lick?

You waited all week for the chance to wrap your tongue around a delectable scoop of creamy ice cream. They have you favorite flavor and you have just enough allowance left over after buying your comics to feast like a king. It doesn't get any better than this!

Gasp!

The things that go bump in the night are not really all that scary. Are they? As long as you don't let your imagination run away with you, everything should be fine. However, be sure not to look behind you in the darkness. You may not like what you can't see.

What's So Good About It?

Sometimes you just don't have the strength to face the day. Especially when your neighbor gives you a hearty, "Good morning!", flips you a wink and then takes off with a bound.

Crystal Skull

In the Fall of last year, I was asked to paint a Crystal Skull concept for a licensing tie in to the new Indiana Jones film. The sketch was created by another artist that I work with. As is often the case with movie licensors, we weren't given much in the way of reference. So we gleaned as much information as we could from available photos and blindly managed to create an interesting image. I painted the skull to look like it was made of greenish crystal. Below is the skull as seen in the movie.

Looking back now, I know that I should have painted the skull with more translucency and facets. The art was slated to be used for a tin container. Before we were able to finalize the concept, we received the approved artwork from Lucasfilm, so there was no need to take this art any further. Still, having grown up watching and pretending to be the adventurous archaeologist, I really loved working on this concept.

By the way, I still haven't found the time to see the movie.

Another Sketch

Warm Up Doodle

My good friend Jeremy suggested that I try to start the day with a quick doodle to get the old eyes and ears working. It's really quite refreshing to throw out a quick little image like this one. My thanks to him for the suggestion. I hope you like it!

DrawerGeeks Dinosaur

This week's topic at DrawerGeeks is Dinosaur. I was tempted to do something kitchy or perhaps, even something clever. Instead I decided to do something in the finest traditions of illustration and resort to that which is tried and tested.That simple paradigm that will solve any design problem you might have. A scantily clad babe. When in doubt, throw in heaving bosoms and lots of leg and you can't go wrong.

Lolly Pop

Just how many licks does it takes to get to the center? The world may never know. Just a playful little post of a cutesy girl. I am trying to develop a solid and appealing style for my girlie girl drawings. I am certain that this is the first of many scribbles to come.
