tiger tiger, burning bright, in the forests of the night....

i wanted to take a lil break from drawing looney tunes characters, so i whipped up this lil ditty, of a tiger. :) Mr. coleman, eat your heart out....

Dude, I'm a sucker.

LOL, so if you've ever come to me at universal citywalk or at any other caricature retail concession that I've ever worked at, you'd know that I can be a straight jerk. lol. Well, beauty tames beasts like me. Try to imagine the hours put into this drawing, and imagine whether i charged $15 dollars per person on this image or not, lol.
It was for a bunch of cute Brazilian chicks? What would you have done? lol.

Tiger, tiger burning bright,

In the forests of the night. LOL, Here the latest victim.

Pro work and New drink and draw stuff.

This week's stuff!!!!

This was fun. My buddy Jeremy Rusnak and I doing some fun character design stuff while at the caricature stand. We set out to design a lobster boy!


Some Jaguar studies.


Some random character designs. Heman and some pirates.





Also a retake on the an old show piece, "The usual suspects" originally the breath of paintings featured animals that raid urban trash cans. Possums, alley cats, bears and such. This was the bear. Originally it was carrying a trash can. I made this one an ice bear.

Some retakes on some paintings from Previous shows. These were two of my favorite lil paintings. The Hellboy was for the "let them eat pancakes" show at uberbot gallery in florida. I don't know if the paintings sold or not, i haven't heard from the gallery? I painted this one for myself. I'm gonna hang it up at my place somewhere. The lil mummy was also a fav of mine and my ex girlfriend. I painted it for her because the original was sold to some lucky person. She really wanted it, but never made it in time to buy it. (Am i the nicest ex boyfriend or what?)


My first attempt at painting with cell vinyls. A lil study inspired by all that stuff out there that i absolutely love!!!


Damian, a once co-worker truly missed. He totally looks like that black tiger from the 80's movie Beast master! Also, Sam, of big sam art blog, totally looks like Rafikki from lion king. lol, and a lady friend that accompanied them both, well, she looked like a giraffe to me.
Man, that was so fun. Friday the 6th, it rained all day, so Sam and I were supposed to work at the citywalk airbrush stand, well, the rain made us close up. We tried to wait out the rain by hanging out at the Bubba gump's across the way. Well, it was nice to sit and draw in our sketchbooks for like 8 hours and get paid for it. I love my job.



A blast from the past.

Hanging out last night with independent comic publishers Bernyce Tally and friends. A quick lil memory sketch of Bernyce and her lil red dress.

The Ba~no brothers.

These are two lil characters that we came up with at work. They're both luchadores. Number One always has to hurry and finish his matches on account of his bladder problems. Number Two's finishing move is "the Mud Slide". Can you guess why it's called the mud side? lol.

We're doing several lil story driven character designs just for fun. We all take a stab at drawing, #1. Samurai vs Wrestler, #2. Yupi douchebag werewolf, #3. 80's hairband werewolf, #4 the Ban~o brothers, and... a few others.

I'll post more of the other concepts soon.

All in a day's work.

One thing I love the most about working at a retail caricature concession, is that during the slow season, or during down time ( in between customers ) I can work on anything I want!!! This is what i did today. Playing with guache for the first time.

Some of Last week's drawings.

Another funny reaction.

Once again, i got caught up in the fast pace of caricatures for retail, that i didn't take a picture of this drawing, and it was a pretty good one. :) You can see it in the vid though, check it out.

My friend Chloe and her family!!!

This is Chloe's lil cousin who's name I don't know!





This is Meatball!




This is the one I call Pocahontas, lol. Chloe and her family make fun of her all the time. She's the darkest of her siblings, so before i actually drew her, they had me fake her out. I drew an all black stick figure. (Chloe's idea.)
Here's the vid fake out.





Chloe's cutie mom! Her reaction was awesome! She needs to lay off the thigh master, see what I mean in the vid.





The famous Chloe!





This is Chipmunk.
