Goblin Week!

so this is my submission to goblin week 2014, it is a lost page of a lost goblin children's book called, "Lenni and his Turtle shell." hope you enjoy it.

513- wastie

I have been using a random concept match maker recently, and this is the latest idea, a wasteland psychic.

512- fashion shirt

goofing around.

POST 501- Skeleton band

At the end of the world, our skeleton bones will rise and celebrate.

499 two days = 1.5 seconds.

yesh....this is tough, but fun.

498- if only I had five hands...

...and 25 hours a day to draw. and the spirit to keep at it all day. Anyhoo, I have been kinda busy lately, doing flyers and poster images, but no comics. I am currently starting an animation project that I am pretty excited about, hand drawn! 

480- Unsure Explorer

I sat down with the intention of drawing an explorer type and this sad guy came out. this is a digital drawing, and the line quality came out a lot better than the last time I just sketched aimlessly. I really want to do more drawing digitally, just hone my hand at it. Now that I think about it, I think this guy comes from a passing thought about doing a comic about a brokenhearted adventurer. Who in the nadir of emotion decides to descend into the underdark. He continues to delve deeper and deeper into the dark as his broken heart grants him the uncaring daring needed to survive. hmmm, maybe.

471- Inspiration

I recently went to southern California to visit my friend Danny, and got really inspired to make more art. He has a room set aside for music, which I think is really fantastic. I thought about how I want a little room for my art. But then I realized that I already have a studio space and that I should use it more. So, its been a great summer so far, and I think that this will be the summer where I really start to utilize my studio. What this has to do with this "Minion" drawing I don't know. I just like how purple it is.

468-Skaleto!!

Skaleto has always been one of my favorite personal characters, how could one not love a daredevil acrobat who constantly tempts death? Ever since I made him I have been searching for the right story to place him in, and unfortunately I am still looking. But soon Skaleto, soon.

467- moleman

I wanted this image to look like it was accompanied by a stick of old hard chewing gum.

452- makes me gag

A new zine in the works about the incident last year at the Bronx Zoo where a cobra escaped and explored the greatest city in the world. He learned to love, he learned to cry, he learned what it was to be human. Sometimes it takes a fresh pair of serpentine eyes to see the world for the joys it beholds. Read how this wayward snake befriended a blind man and taught him the meaning of friendship and sacrifice.

452- in the shadows...

                                                      A little preview of things foreboding

On post.

Here is a new image for the GO!GamesLab boardgame 3 Tours of War!
It's the Armored Personnel Carrier, that helps all the brave players get around.

long road to nowhere

Again I am unsure about a image.
What do you think?
Is the sun glare too much?

Latino Taxes?

On my drive home today I saw a tax services called "Latino Taxes", I didn't know what to make of it. Does it mean that Latinos pay according to different tax codes? or is it just a lame gimmick for a Spanish language speaking business?
I need to learn to speak Latin.
on an unrelated note, here is a drawing i did awhile ago.





post script: i added a drawing in progress image at the bottom of this page, its too small to see properly, but i will post it when its done.

old life drawing

So, I was taking photos of my old life drawings in preperation for building a portfolio, and I found some fun ol' drawings.
Some of the drawings I found made me jealous of Old gil's drawing style, I dont think I could draw like that again.

new post- limitations.

This is BUGCLOPS!!!
I will post a colored version soon enough.
Limitations, tonight I face my two favorite limitations, time and ability. Time, is a sore point with me, I feel like wasted eight years watching TeeVee on a friend's couch. Sure I have a decent stored knowledge of trivial facts and the ability to take perverse pleasure in the inane, but I now doubt it was a fair trade. I regret not having the grit to stick with drawing my whole waking life. Being so long in the tooth as I see more time slip past, so encrusted in dust and din, still in a moving river. whoa, that was too poetic for my tastes.
ability.
Ability is a flux of frustration and amazement, I guess this is the ebb and flow I mentioned so long ago. Tonight I faced a wall as my skill with a pencil struggle to cross over into ink and brush, which I do love to use. Ink and brush give a wonderful joy that is way too nerdy to describe, magical. I have to just understand that I will have to slowing chip away at this limit and just grin and bare it until I can slip through a crack.

more to follow.

335- commodin sketch

found this old sketch, kinda thinks it looks neat. I really like the paper quality, if I had the money I would like to try out a large variety of drawing papers. There is nothing like figure drawing on different tones and textures, such a good feeling.
this is not a life drawing, or I would be dead.

312- norah jones

I have been sick for the last three days and this is the only drawing i have done in those three days.
i hate being sick.

307- ink stained fingers part one

dont be mislead by my misleading title, this image in not inked, i found this old image as i was cleaning out my ol' sketch drawer, and thought it was worthy of new life.
so i made several prints of it and inked four of them back to back it was an excellent idea. it helped in breaking down an inking wall for me, i am unable to describe this barrier further at this moment. i will post these images soon, most likely tomorrow, since its late and i am tired.
today was a good day for my art.
