I’ve been rummaging through a lot of my old art folders looking for random, embarassing comic strips for you all to laugh at and I’ve come across a few things that i thought were kind of neat. Here’s a pencil version of a drawing I did for my grandma last year for Christmas. You see she almost died and thankfully pulled through. So when she was better she told me she wanted me to draw a picture of death with a big X over it, to show that she kicked deaths ass. So I just decided to draw her kicking deaths ass instead.

This is acrylic on top of a Bristol board comic strip I’d drawn. It was an absolutely horrid comic strip and I had used it to keep paint off my desk, then turned around and painted this crap image on top of the original crap image. I was supposed to mail it out to my friend Zach, but I lost this thing long before it ever got out to the post office.

circa 2005

Here’s a flyer I did for the Firedance Bar & Grill with colors and layouts by Corey Bernhardt. You should go check the shit out. I however will be at my house avoiding anything to do with these “Rookie” drinking nights. If you do go out, enjoy douchebags with thier tapout shirts, fake tans and Ed Hardy gear. These are the nights when the only two things these bastards wanna do if fuck or fight, and by the looks of these goons—nobodys fucking. Unless you find Snookie that is.

 Here is a few photos from a sign for a pizza place that myself and Corey Bernhardt (links on the right under artists, check his stuff out. ) This little flyer is pretty much all that we had to work with as far as what they wanted us to rock on the sign, so we fuckin winged it and hoped for the best.

These are our process pictures of how we brainstormed. We took the iconic pizza box chef image that every mom and pop uses and made him chuck the deuce. The sign was basically two slabs of wood which we painted with chalkboard paint to allow the owners to write their own specials on the sign. Then we took some prismacolor colored pencils to sketch out what we was gonna do. The great thing about the prismacolor pencils is that when we used them on the chalkboard paint, we could just erase the stray lines after the paint went on.

And BAM! we’re done.  

EGAD! 31 pages?!!?! This is by fat the longest book I’ve ever drawn. It’s a whole nother ball game than drawing a few pages, a 3 panel strip or even a single page comic. I know they’re all in the same ballpark, but it just takes so much more to draw 31 pages and put em up every day. It’s looking like the book may be well over 50 by the time all is said and done. Even looking over the old pages I’m starting to see all the warts, poc marks and scabs that make me cringe. It takes more self control not to go back and fix everything I hate than it does to draw the whole fuckin book. But I guess you just gotta let it ride at some point and not keep tinkering things to the point of insanity.

I was in Sacramentos 2nd Saturday art show with a few of the people from the Drink & Draw (which is tonight at 8pm at the Fox & Goose downtown BTW). Here’s a bunch of photos form the little show. It was interesting to say the least.

These are some of my buddy Rods work at the show.

Here’s my little corner. Right next to the mens room. Score one for me and prime fuckin real estate.

Here’s the piece I’d been working on for the last 8 or so months, I’ll post some more flicks of the whole thing soon.

A couples of smaller pieces I busted out.

These are both older, but they seemed to go over ok at the show. People stood and looked at the three drawings like this for at least 20 mins. It was pretty cool that people were taking the time to look at stuff.

My friend Corey rocked this piece for t he show. It’s pretty massive and turned out dope.

Along with some of his pencil drawings that he had framed for the event.
