Birds of a Feather show

Couple little companion pieces for the Kids Rock benefit concert and nature festival deal, which you can get tickets and info for here!

Didn't really sketch anything for this one, except this little owl guy.

RECENT THINGS

Yes finally! Sketches that are legitimately recent. I imagine this will not last.

I would so like to know what exactly Torgo went on to do after Manos. Oh, I've got some guesses, but I bet the truth is even better.

I want like eight more taxidermy Fallow deer heads, but I'm already toeing the line between having interesting decor and living in the Bates Motel Lobby as it is.


Why don't genetic mutations ever slap anyone with extra cute parts? I could get behind a panda with 6 ears.

Embarassing Fanart

Yami No Matsuei is solid terrible fangirl fanservice pretty much nonstop, but oooohhhhh, I watched it. I tried to read it, but the artwork is so hideously flowery and sparkly I just couldn't hang.

One thing about this series that IS totally awesome is that the main villain dude was keeping his brother's severed head floating around in a big jar, so that one day he can bring his brother back to life, and then kill him. That's the best needlessly complex utterly pointless plan ever.

Liking Carmen Sandiego isn't that embarrassing; everybody played it in grade school, and who doesn't love Rockapella's stirring rendition of the game show theme? Butttt...I've never actually played the game. I'd always just kind of appreciated it in theory. In my defense, I am utterly weak against the gentleman thief/outlaw detective archetype. I HEART THEM ALL.

And oh yes, I watched the fairly terrible Saturday morning cartoon.

I think ReBoot was pretty decent for what it was and when it was made. Hex holds up as a quality villain, for instance. At least she did, until the whole series went completely batshit early in season 4. Still though, I've driven through Kitsilano and felt a nerdy little thrill over it. Nar.

Growing up with Great Danes, I sort of feel like I have to love Scooby Doo. It was a pretty terrible show, though, let's not kid ourselves.

Kimi Wa Pet (Tramps Like Us in the US, for some reason) is actually pretty good, and I still like it. But it's a cutesty romantic comedy, which is a weird thing for me to be enjoying.

Nothin' in partic

Found this pencil sketch in an old sketchbook. I'd like to say it was carefully archived, but in truth it was part of a giant pile of crap that fell out when I picked the book up. So anyway, I figured I'd throw some color on it.

Just some random stuff floating around my sketchbook.

I kind of love the dude who's freaking out on Ms Havisham there.

Brothers, That was a Dog's Death

Growing up I read a lot of Victorian-era & earlier lit. Most likely because books in the public domain and my parents both turned up a lot at garage sales. At any rate, the Mowgli stories are one of my favorite things ever, ever. I've read each one at least a hundred times-whenever I imagine what it must be like to be juuuuuust about to shuffle off the mortal coil, the thought that someday, I'll have read The Jungle Books for the last time always comes to my mind.

Looking at the sketch, I feel like this painting was supposed to be a lot more lowbrow than it actually turned out. Also, Shere Kahn is meant to be sort of a cross between a skinned hide and actual tiger, but he ended up looking like he was just chilling out on Mowgli's head.

Not sure why I do such detailed sketches when I'm clearly gonna ignore them as soon as I grab a brush.

CAN'T SLEEP. MUST PAINT.

Finally done. I forgot how long it takes me to paint stuff. I ALSO forgot to scan it before sealing it, so I couldn't get a great shot of it due to reflections and so on. Win some, lose some, I guess; it has been a long time since I painted.
