Sketch Dump!

Holy Smacks! It seems like eons since my last post, which is probably bad form for a blogger, but I do have a good reason; I've been slaving away on new projects, and a couple of commissions. So, how do you like them apples?

Anyway, this is my first official Sketch Dump, and I've got a whole mess of piping hot sketches straight from the sketchbook. As I've mentioned before, sometimes after scanning my sketches I go into Photoshop and clean up some of the stray lines and overlapping doodles, but not this time. You could call these sketches in the raw, because they truly are in their naked state, which kind of goes with the theme, since some of these sketches are of the racy persuasion. I may or may not get more posted later in the week, so no promises, but either way have a great week.

My Super Gal

This started off as kind of a joke between me and my gal, Ace. Rather a long story, but we were bantering back and forth over who was going to Google something. She wanted me to do it, and started calling me Google Boy (and made up a little theme song for me as well), and I in turn told her to do it herself, and dubbed her Goggle Girl and even gave her full rights to use my new theme song. Anyway, at the same time I was thinking about creating a Google Girl mascot, she asked if I was going to draw her a Google Girl. Well, of course, Google is trademarked, and I have no desire whatsoever for any kind of legal hassles so for now this character will be known as Super Gal, until I get something better worked out. Oh, and if you're wondering, she finally looked it up herself, but she used Ask.com, instead of Google, probably just to be contrary.

This is just a sketch featuring my new favorite mix of blue & black colored pencils. It's a bit off and somewhat wonky in places, and she even has an extra leg, but overall I'm pleased with it. Oh, and my UPS is being a pain in the ass tonight, to the point that I probably will have to replace it, so I didn't bother to scan the other part of the retro shape dealio.

A Little Asian Fashion

I don't really have any true fetishes, however, I do have tons of—for lack of a better word—obsessions. They seem to rotate, and some even get abandoned altogether, such as the one for garter belts. Yet, the one for corsets remains. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to them, and I've actually stopped questioning them; I just go with it. They also seem to fall into two categories; Main Obsessions and Sub-Obsessions. One of my most long standing sub-obsessions, from the exotic fashion main obsession if you're wondering, is for the high necked Asian style dress. Oh, chopsticks in the hair are pretty nifty, too, although I guess that would be a sub-sub-obsession. Anyway, that's where this one came from.

Hmmm. And now that I'm looking at it on screen, I see that I made the *boob-line a bit wonky. Oh well, that's why they're called sketches.

-Cheers!

*Yes, incidentally that is my own word, but feel free to use it.

A Couple of Dorky Fellas

For lack of a better title I call this one Happy Guy. I know what you're thinking, Hey Bob-O, what a profoundly unique title. Way to stretch that creative muscle. Woo-Hoo! Well, I'll tell you, its late and I'm tired. But there are some interesting things coming down the pike at the almighty Walk on the Wild Side, and I don't mean just your average run-of-the-mill pencil farts, this might really be something, just a little more flavor. Sadly, that's all I'm at liberty to tell you right now, but in the spirit of the excitement check out this second sketch called, Astonished! How do you like them apples?

Topless in Jeans

Just a slightly chubby topless tattooed punkabilly chick, for no particular reason other than I think she's cute, and I'm fairly pleased with the way it came out. Incidentally, I seem to be back to my old pencil sluttish ways. My current pencil-tart of choice is a standard Prismicolor colored pencil; the official color is True Blue, if you're wondering. Actually, the color is True Blue whether you are wondering or not. Anyway, I really like the way it mimics the non-photo blue pencils of old, and yes, I know non-repro blue pencils are still used today, but with digital inking become more the standard it is increasingly rare.

-Cheers!

Post # 75: The Big Beer Baby

As I mentioned not too long ago, I have been going through some old files and whatnot, and came across this colored pencil sketch. I'm really not sure how to categorize this one, it is either the beginning of the end, or the end that became the new beginning. Sounds a bit complicated, doesn't it? Well, basically a few years ago I was working in a quiet family oriented brew pub, which was kind of like a restaurant that focused on hand crafted ales. On one particular evening I cut a friend off and pulled his beer, because he had had way too much to drink. He was getting loud and belligerent and was dropping F-bombs left & right. Evidently, cutting The Beer Baby off and pulling his beer gave him full license to throw an incredibly childish temper tantrum, which was then followed by a shockingly bad display of poor management skills on the part of the manager on duty that night. Later, when informed of the situation, the actual pub manager's apathetic, feeble response told me it was time to get out of the restaurant business and follow my artistic dreams. It has not been an easy path, and I've made mistakes along the way, but I have no doubt that I am better off now, than if I would have stayed. I also know that I'm going to be okay, and that I'll make it.

Oh, back to the sketch, it was well over a year after the fact that I heard through the grapevine that he was still threatening to get me back. So, in honor of his profound douchebaggery, this is a sketch I did of The Big Beer Baby shortly after the incident. I also have a couple I did of the manager on duty, but for legal reasons I don't think I should post them.

-Cheers!

More Poop Greeting Cards!

As you may have guessed, I've been going through some old files as of late. I never realized how many poop related greeting cards I've done over the years. This is one I did for my friend, Pea, for her birthday also in 2006. The thing about sending Pea cards, is that it is nearly impossible to offend her. Seriously, I have sent images of masturbating clowns (with two penises), anthropomorphic vulvae, and a number of things in that vein, which I can't recall at the moment, but the point is that none of it phased her.

Anyway, this is her dog, Klaus, he's a tea cup dachshund, and he loves to eat cat poop. He's also extremely vindictive, and if you dress him up in, oh, say a Santa outfit for Christmas, he will urinate on your feet—twice! Anyway, the small one is just a stand alone of Klaus with a big ol' turd in his mouth, which I believe was on the back of the card, and the bigger one below is the actual front of the card. I'm afraid my lettering was pretty crappy on that particular day. It reads: . . . and upon waking from his mid-morning nap, Klaus was delighted to discover that the "Kitty-Roca Fairy" had once agin paid a magical visit, [Note: I should have left it off at this point] leaving behind the most delectable treats. Oh, and his thought balloon reads: Oh Boy! They're Still Warm!



Have a safe & sane 4th of July.

Cheers!
