Hopping Ghost

Here's a quick doodle of Chinese Hopping Ghost. Click on the image above to see him do his thang.

24hr Comic Day

So 24hr comic day was Saturday and, despite swearing I'd never do it again after last year, I gave it another shot. I'm glad I reconsidered because I had an awesome time making some marathon comics with Danny, Paul, and our lovely hostesses Tiffany and Chandra. If you're at all interested in reading the spoils of our labor I'd redirect you over to Danny's Forum where he generoulsy posted photo documentation and scans of all three of our books.

The Change


For this title to make any sense, I'd suggest mousing over the above image.

Capture

I've been pretty busy lately, so I've missed the past couple Illustration Fridays. I'm not really comfortable doing images this sinister, but that's what happens when doing a Silence of The Lambs tribute.

San Francisco Rags

I used to see a newspaper on a bus seat and think, "Hey free paper!"

I don't think that anymore.

You Really Move Me


This is my pixel-art drawing of this week's Illustration Friday topic, "Skyline." It was also about time for me to put up another animation cycle on this thing, so I also did a sprite animation of myself walking. To see these two items combined, just click on the image below.



(The above animation requires Flash 8 )

If you're asking yourself what the point of this "game" is, there isn't one. I was just messing around with animating myself in sprites. Enjoy!

Knocking One Back

So this is my "Sticky" picture for Illustration Friday, but the more I look at it the more I want to redo the coloring on it. I've got plenty of other stuff I need to tend to before that happens, so hopefully some of these skecthcrawl drawings from this weekend will redeem me.

Rain

When the deluge hit San Francisco back in March, taking mass transit reminded me of all those days at school hanging on a wet corner waiting for the bus. At least the school bus actually showed up on time. Grrr.

Oh yeah, in case you couldn't tell, I colored this sucker in Illustrator just to mix things up a bit. Maybe next post I'll draw something that doesn't involve a dude with a circle head. Given that the next sketchcrawl is this weekend, that is highly likely.

Omega Red Dawn

So I initially drew this for the Wolverine Jam over on Drawingboard.org, but thought I'd toss it up here as well. If you haven't seen the movie Red Dawn this probably seems like it's coming right out of left field. Actually, even if you have seen the movie this is still kinda random.

Dance!

(Click above image to see it animated.)

So I started drawing this as a "Dance" image for Illustration Friday and decided it would make a good animation cycle. Pay no mind to the gentleman's infinite supply of munitions. Perhaps he has magic guns, magic guns of infinite shooty-ness. Alright, I'm gonna go grab me one of the chocolate covered macaroons at the bagel shop on the corner. They're like giant chewy fresh baked Samoa Girl Scout Cookies. Hot damn, I'd dance like that kid just to get one, but instead I think I will just trade some legal tender for it. Catch you folks later.

Do You Know Where You Are?


Hello blog-a-majig. Today I pay tribute to the jungle critter with the most rockin-est facial hair, the Emperor Tamarin. And by "pay tribute to" I mean "crap out a hasty picture of." I'd write something witty here but my tummy desires foodstuffs so I'm gonna go get one of those "screw it, put everything in a damn bowl" meals at KFC. Hooray for Illustration Friday and the "Jungle" theme.

We want illustration...


So this is my Illustration Friday "Portrait" of Patrick McGoohan as The Prisoner. My lack of being born prevented me from catching this show when it originally aired, but thanks to the magic of DVD (and the San Francisco Public Library) I've been able to see it. My favorite thing about the character might be that his face seems permanently stuck giving a disapproving people's eyebrow, an expression I tend to make quite frequently myself. Next on my list of old TV shows to catch is The Rockford Files.

Be seeing you.

Puting the "cycle" back in My Weekly Cycle




It used to be I'd only use the tablet for inking and coloring, but now I find myself doing more straight up sketching and *gasp* animating with it. This weekend I was sketching with said tablet and listening to one of my friend Jeremy's songs. The product of this activity is the quick and dirty cycle of him playing a tambourine featured above.

I'm not sure why I'm playing a Christmas song in June, but I think it has something to do with the adorable banter with his fiancée at the beginning. Can I refer to something as "adorable" or does that have some negative effect on my gonads? Oh well, it can't be any worse for my person than the copious amounts of caffeine I pump through my body. Mmmm sweet sweet caffeine.

Oh yeah, you'll need Flash to see the animation.

He's attacking my ability to sleep.


This blog looks naked, it needs to be made un-naked by having more gunk'l'dunk added. I've got the Atom feed up with the sweet powder blue feed button down at the bottom, but other than that the frill-age is still minimal. Anyway, to keep some posting momentum up I'm tossing up this samurai picture I drew last night when I should have been sleeping. That's what I get for eating chocolate espresso cookies before bed I guess.

In secret, it starts again.


So the necessity for a consistent location to post for Illustration Friday has prompted me to restart this blog. Who knows though, I just may end up posting some cycles, comics, and random sketches in here again. The above is my "Cake" image, enjoy.
