my shirt design

this is going to be on a shirt pretty soon i think. picture everything that's black as being white (the ink) and picture everything that's white being the color of the shirt (probably navy or a dark color). would anyone want to buy one?

Boy it's been awhile.

Here are just a couple of inked things i did. The first was for my mom, whose law office full of ladies had an open house for the rest of the building to show everyone their newly refinished space, so i did an invitation featuring that character. The second I did for my business card. They turned out alright, but I think I'm going to make another design and print more. Oh, by the way, the elbow on the crocodile is supposed to be the more round one, I edited it out in photoshop for the business cards, but I just remembered it's still on the scan I'm putting up.

Pencil

I don't know where this will end up but I like it so far. That's my cat Clyde with the samurai helmet and katana. It's for Jennie, but as far as the background and how I'm going to color it is yet to be determined.

Add a little milk and bring it to a boil

Alright, so here are just some things I've been doing the last few days. Most of it is the project I was working on for my mom's birthday present, which is the watercolor of the kid and his pet dragon. Don't worry, I'll get a better quality scan soon, I took these with a camera and the lighting I had on it was too bright and kind of dulled the color, but you can definitely get the idea.

Luck is not on my side

I had some things to put up this week, but almost all my means of putting those things up are non-existent. Jennie doesn't have her camera stuff, Joe and Frances' computer is on the fritz (that's the computer my scanner is hooked up to), and I REALLY don't want to go to kinko's. But...it's looking like I might have to anyway, because I need to use a copier to enlarge a bunch of stuff, too. See you soon, I promise!

New Stuff

Alright, so here's some stuff I was dicking around with this week. First, just some sketchbook pages:







Not my proudest work, but I guess that's not what this blog is for. Anyway, the next couple of things are for a piece I'm working on for Russ, it's going to end up being a kid scared in bed with the covers pulled up, surrounded by monsters. So far I have the first two monsters pretty well planned out, but I still need to come up with the third monster and then arrange all the elements, pencil, ink, etc. Hopefully you'll watch it come together pretty soon, and it'll go from crappy pencil sketches to a finished piece:




I have no idea why that last one is on it's side like that, when I open it on my computer it looks fine. Anyway, tilt your head for fun eyeball drippy monster fun!

Okay...so the last couple of things are more finished products of sketches I've put up in the past couple of weeks. One is an inked picture of that crocodile from before, and the other is the (almost) finished watercolor of that wine bottle for my dad's cellar:





Sorry, this post doesn't have that much stuff I really loved, hopefully next week will be better.

I kind of lied...

Okay, so I've been pretty good about updating weekly on Fridays. I told a lot of people that I was going to post some stuff today, but unfortunately, it's going to have to wait until tomorrow, but I will try to get it done early in the day. Sorry if you came here expecting something new, check back tomorrow! Thanks everybody! Off to dinner! Here is some illustration and printmaking stuff that's sorta old, just to tide you over, hehe.
