Tom Servo

One of my favorite shows of all time is "Mystery Science Theatre 3000", it had a huge impact on forming my sense of humor. I'm not sure who my favorite character is, everyone has such great one-liners, its hard to choose but Tom Servo is such a fun-looking character, I had to draw him.

Looking at Chris Sanders art today

The title should explain it all, I was perusing Chris Sanders site today, looking at his work and reading his hilarious "Kiskaloo" comic strip. So for my post today I just started sketching and this is what came out.

Harriet the Spy sketches

So I'm reading "Harriet the Spy" and aim to illustrate some of the scenes from the book. Here are a few character sketches of Ol' Golly's mom, Harriet and Sport. I'm not sure if these will carry through until the final illustrations but these were the first concepts that dropped out of my pencil. Although, Ol' Golly's mom is pretty close as to how I see her in the book.

Quail

Ahh...the quail...so majestic and funny looking with that thingie dangling off of their heads. I don't really have much of a reason as to why I painted one tonight. I just like them.

Bus nap

I was all set to draw something completely different tonight but on the way home I was on the bus and right across from me was a dad holding his passed out son in his lap. The kid looked waaay out, completely limp with his head firmly mushed into his dad's chest. I thought it was a cute scene so I drew it.

more clownfish-es

I had so much fun painting a clownfish last night, I drew another one this morning before work. I again choose to draw a black clownfish with an orange face. I love adding a small splash(heh) of color to an otherwise black, white and gray scale image.

Clownfish

I realize that most people probably think of "Finding Nemo" when you see or hear about a clownfish, I know I do. But they are a beautiful species of fish with or without the association. And I recently discovered that there are black clown fish as well, they might be even more striking than the orange and white ones. It's personal preference but I saw one, loved it and I had to paint one.
