Lazy summer
As usual, I let the summer days get to me and my mind has been wandering to far off places instead of blogging. Which is probably a good thing!
Last few months have been wild--just finished up working on a claymation spot at work, been doing some drawings and things here and there, and just came back from a road trip to New Orleans.
Some older drawings from back in June. Here's to summer:
Mister Blake Larue.
Update on the little new york apartment gardening project: I was getting a little scared that my tomatoes wouldn't flower, but all that worry was for nothing for they are thriving, flowering, and fruiting like the awesome plants they are! Also, they are humongous and taking over my bedroom.
I'm avoiding posting more drawings and stuff...but that's for another post. Meanwhile, I leave you with skies of the south, the most breathtaking skies I reckon I ever seen in this here blessed country.

Drawins
Some watercolor stuff!
The first one is something this guy I worked with once told me to draw. "DRAW ME a rusty pick-up truck with a tire missing set up on a cement block and cracked windows. Oh yeah, and there's a octopus in the trunk." Well, here you go.
This one is based off a Richard Brautigan poem called Adrenalin Mother. I just like the words he used.
Adrenalin Mother
with your dress of comets
and your shoes of swift bird wings
and shadow of jumping fish,
thank you for touching,
understanding and loving my life.
Without you, I am dead.
And a comic! True story.
Besides illustrating things literally, I have started working on backgrounds on my film. Will post some later. In the meantime, check out my bohemoth stack of animation that have been cleaned up and colored. Those babies can finally go in the closet!

Me so cold!
Sketch dump! Old drawings and recent drawings.
The effervescent Rob Malone
Harry Potter, the College Kid.
I went back to Delaware for the holidays and had a nice arts and crafts session and bound some notebooks. Looked up some tips on the internet and found it to be surprisingly easy. Try it out and make your own! All you need is some paper, thread, and a sewing needle.
Anyway, feels good to be back in the city. Feels not so good out in the cold. That's why I stayed inside and made a fort.

Comic vomit and other things
I haven't posted in a while. I'm distracted by summer. Bad, bad blogger.
These are some quick comics I've done in the last few weeks. I get really impatient sometimes drawing comics because I don't want to take the time to lay out boxes and set up each frame. So I've been trying something different where if I think of a good gag, I try to get it down on paper as fast as I can despite the sloppiness. Apparently, I can't think of anything other than people with animal bodies.
A semi-autobiographical experience while in LA in early June.
Some sketchbook stuff.
Oh yea, some news! Too Art for TV has accepted my series of bird heads (see two posts before) for their show in September, so you'll be seeing some in-progress construction in the next month as I attempt to make a giant duck head. Should be fun.
Byes!

Tempus fugit
Hmmm, haven't posted in a while. Just been working on my film mostly...rough animation is almost complete!
Some doodles from the past few weeks--weird babies, Mr, Dursley, classmates.
Eeeh, my scanner is so lousy...

Old stuff and sketchbooks
I recently started a new sketchbook. It's a 5.5 x 8.5 inch Canson basic sketchbook, black hard-bound. It's super tiny for my standards, but I wanted to try something new. I find that choosing a sketchbook that is going to be your companion for the next few months or so is like choosing a new jacket for winter. It's not going to be used forever, but you'll need it for a good while, so you have to make sure it fits you well.
So far I feel like my drawings have been less free, now that I'm confined to such a small space. I'm hoping in the next few weeks that I'll loosen up and learn to embrace my tiny companion.
Anyway, I have nothing to show from it for now. But I found a sketchbook I had from last summer that I abandoned for those nice 8 x 10 inch black paperback Moleskins. There were a few drawings in it that amused me so I painted them for fun.
I don't know why money stuffed in a dog's butt was funny to me 8 months ago. What specifically made me decide to do that? It's weird looking at old stuff. Even if it's only over a span of a few months, your work reflects how often your mind changes.
Or not. Some early sketches of Ice Cream Man characters. Still looks about the same.
Another oldie. Dated June 16th.
As I already told the 4 people who read this, I saw another guy jerking it on my street last week. Why me? I don't think I'll document it this time though.

Girls girls girls
A mini-painting.
Channeling a bit of that fatass horse in What's Opera, Doc?
Hey everyone, go watch GATE OF FLESH (thanks, Harry). A Japanese B movie from the 60's, starring Gooooood ol' Chipmunk a.k.a. Joe Shishido, this pretty cool actor who had cheek implants. He's also in one of my other favorite movies Branded to Kill, which is damn cool.
