One of my favorite films of all time directed by one of my favorite directors.

Original Cartoon Heroes: "Tex Avery" Behind the Art

Doing research on Tex Avery for Original Cartoon Heroes, and I cannot for the life of me find any good photos of him online. Too small, or he's looking away from the camera. I even tried my local library branch, but the 2 books I needed are in Reference and not available for check out. Bummed!
Luckily, Fred is ordering me the books off of Amazon! Thanks Fred! :)
In the meantime, here are a few studies of Tex I did.

Original Cartoon Heroes: "Bakshi Studies" Behind the Art

For those of you not in the know, I've been working on a dream freelance project w/ Fred Seibert of Frederator on a postcard tribute series, named Original Cartoon Heroes.
Fred & I came up with a list of Animation Legends, and I'm very proud to pay tribute & give homage to these Greats in my style.
Above you will see my studies for Ralph Bakshi. The only one of the list who is still with us, still painting, still drawing, still stirring the Animation stew (and adding a lot of pepper and hot sauce while he's at it!)
Ralph Bakshi is a hero of mine, and I am pleased to say that he's using an early incarnation of my Original Cartoon Heroes tributes as his personal Facebook Avatar still! For that, I am honored beyond belief!
I can't wait to share the new version I've done w/ him!

Thank you Ralph.

Thank you Fred.

Thanks to Cartoons.

I was doin’ my laundry, and well, I just had to draw it.

It made me laugh.

Too Fat For EVER

Click Kevin's tummy to make him bigger. Oh wait, he might not like that. I should rephrase it, but I'm too lazy atm.
Kevin Smith gives hope to bearded, chubby, like-minded people out there like... me.

I've always been a big fan of his films and sense of humor, and just introduced my gf to his films too. (She loved Chasing Amy)

I just caught his special, Too Fat for 40, belatedly, and was pleasantly surprised to find myself chuckling out loud, or LOLing as the kids say these days.

Happy Birthday as well Kevin, belatedly.

Something You Miss! Day #22 30 Day Drawing Challenge!

DAY 22 Something You Miss!

This 30 day drawing entry is supposed to be about something I miss.

I was thinking about how much I miss waking up on Saturday Mornings to watch cartoons when I was just a wee Jeaux. Fish Hooks reminds me of those good cartoons we had back in my day.

I'm currently taking a storyboard test for Fish Hooks and I guess in a way, the something I also miss is having a job.

So wish me luck friends! ;)

Into the frying pan,

New November Comics: Fanboy Fan Art Part 2!

Click to Em-biggify!
Here's the 14th installment: Fanboy Fan Art Part 2 for my New November Comics, Comics Every Day In NEWvember!

Chum Chum dresses like a true bonafide superhero sidekick, so technically this is also kinda... comic related.

I couldn’t do some Fanboy fan art w/out doin’ the Chumster too… cuz a dynamic duo such as these two should never be apart!

If you wanna see more of my fan art tributes, check out my ghost town Deviant Art page!

My take on Chum Chum was created entirely in Photoshop... BUT I've found my previously lost drawing pens and pencils and paper so expect some NEWER hand-drawn comics coming your way this month.

YAY for found Pens and Pencils (and a clean room)!

New November Comics: Fanboy Fan Art!

Click to Em-biggify!
Here's the 11th installment: Fanboy Fan Art for my New November Comics, New Comics Every Day In November!

Fanboy dresses like a superhero, so technically... it's kinda... comic related? Also, I've lost my drawing pens and pencils and paper in my whirlwind mess of a room... still looking.

Mysteries abound!
