Illustration Friday - Clumsy

Who's clumsier than Humpty Dumpty? I can't think of anybody. Except maybe Martin Short from the movie Pure Luck? Hmm, maybe.

Do you know someone clumsier than Humpty Dumpty? Are YOU clumsier than Humpty Dumpty? If so, let's not hang out . . . ever.

Invasive Species

I've heard that younger siblings can be horrible pests. I'm the baby of the family so I couldn't tell you if that's true. Wait... that means I'm the pesky critter. Huh. Well? Yeah, I guess that's pretty accurate, LOL.

Just Try It

When I was sketching, I was thinking this is a fed-up nerd boy with his 2 monstrous body guards. But now I see it could also be interpreted as the toughest gang at school and this kid is the leader of the pack. Kinda funny to think that a sock and flip-flop wearing scrawny nerd is the bully. But it works either way, I guess.

This piece was fun to do. Not only designing the characters, (I love drawing monster thugs, apparently) but using the liquify tool in Photoshop. I'd never used it before and it sure is handy. It really helped when making the reflection in the floor.

"ook! oook! eek! arrgh ... ook!"

Illustration Friday - Primitive

Wow it's been a while since my last post! Sorry about that, everything I've been working on lately is top secret ;) But I had to do something for this week's IF... couldn't let this topic pass, it's too good.

Illustration Friday - Garden

One of my neighbors growing up had a full-size, yet fake well in their front yard. It was surrounded by a lawn and a garden and I used to attempt to chuck pennies into it from the sidewalk (this vexed my neighbor greatly, I think). So whenever I see a well I think of that house and while "well" isn't the IF topic this week... I can connect the two thru my mischief-making memories. This here's a card I did for my dad a few months ago. It's in a cut-paper style I've been doing for Lakeshore lately.

Illustration Friday - Theory

Schrodinger's cat ... is it dead? is it alive? all I know is that it's green.

Illustration Friday - 100%

I am not an early morning person ... I'm never at a 100% before 9am. Luckily I don't look like this guy when I wake up... at least I hope not. I'm planning on painting him, so check back soon to see this illo in color!

Illustration Friday - Hats

Wow it's been a long time since my last post! I'm so glad October is over ... November is proving to be a much better month. So yeah, Hi! I'm back. This week's IF subject was 'Hats' and my entry is a "Hats Off!" to the brave fire fighters in So Cal!

Illustration Friday - Poem

I'll draw some straw
or doodle a poodle.
Whatever is clever
comin' out of my noodle.

Illustration Friday - Cars

Here are some hot roddin kids I did for a project a few months ago.

Illustration Friday - Remember

Remember to be on time ... that's what my momma taught me.

Illustration Friday - Polar

Polar has many definitions, but these 2 stuck out the most to me:
• adjective: extremely cold
• adjective: being of crucial importance
I dare anyone to say that ice cream isn't crucially important! Unless they're lactose intolerant, of course.

Illustration Friday - Snap

This guy sure looks like he's snapped. I think he gave himself that black eye.

Illustration Friday - i spy

I wanted to do more for this week's topic, but I've been too busy getting ready for my trip to Utah. Oh well, there's always next week.

Totally Sucks ... trust me, I know.

Illustration Friday- Super Hero

Illustration Friday- 80's

This is pretty much me in the 80's. I had one kind of outfit... screen T, spandex shorts and high tops. Oh man it was bad.
