Sunday Night Sketch Scramble

and the shuffle begins. get out the boxes, folks. i'm blowin this popstand.

Mailer Sketch

Working on sketches for a trifold mailer. I want to do a big pile of folks inside, type on outside back, little decorative spot for addressing. But I keep changing the plan for the inside fold. Text? Blank? Garg. We'll see if I ever get it done. Things are a bit hectic now.

Sketch...slowly but surely.

Stuff's been crazy, but I need to get back into this.

Illustration Friday: Dusty

Housekeeping!

What fun it would be to have a canister vacuum.

As an aside...stepping away from this, I can't put my finger on why...but does something about this remind anybody of Rugrats?

Just Stay Out of It

I'm not sure whether it's prudent to say why or for whom I painted this yet, but rest assured it was for a good reason. Yessss!

Sketching: Still At It

something about this really gets me. so cheesy. so schmaltzy. AND THE HORNS!

Illustration Friday: Phenomenon

there is no spoon.

Illustration Friday: Prehistoric

sort of a prehistoric lion and mouse...with a sabertooth tiger.

sketch

I said I was going to try and get some more sketches up on here. And up in my life in general. Here are a few spreads I scribbled all over for a couple of days last week. And since I liked adding my soundtrack on that last one...here's it for this one.


weep all day, ray. you make me weep all day.

Hullaballooo Final Page

The (rear) End.

nothing important.

been listening to adele's new song for about two hours now. this is what fell ou of my fingers in that time.

i should sketch more. damn rusty.

cover rough!

here's my best rough for the cover. i am quite pleased with the little monkey on the back.

and then there was one

and now all that's left is the cover!

fireflies!

this is the second to last spread in mr. goldoor's book. above is the finished art, below with text. i love it without type. it really swings.

Cold Blooded!

I had a really tough time on this painting, I don't know why. But in the end, I'm really into it. I want to draw more fish.

Dance Party

I don't know what it is about this one, but it comes off very Babar to me...I don't know how that happened.

Porcupine

I can't say I've ever drawn a porcupine before. But this one might just turn out to be my favorite of the book.

hey hey we're the monkeys....

Bark at the Moon...while limboing

More than a year later...

So the spring before last my words on wheels illustration to go with a poem about amnesia was chosen by the MTA folks. At the time I was told it would be put up inside the bus...I don't think I was aware it would ever be wrapped AROUND the bus. Folks kept telling me they'd seen it and I was jealous. I asked everybody to take a photo. Elyza, who is my homegirl fo' life, finally chased down a bus and got this shot with her cell. yea that's right. It's hard to see in this photo, but if you look closely, you can see MY ART AROUND A BUS. I was so psyched to have this picture, much love to Elyza :)
