Merry Christmas!

This is from the christmas party at my place earlier this month. Wearing an awesomely bad christmas sweater and parting your hair like you did in 3rd grade is the only way to celebrate. I decided to take the picture to it's logical conclusion here.

Hope you all have an awesome holiday!

your turn

Charlie and I did this a long while back - and being that I'm really bored on a Friday afternoon with nothing to do, I present you another product of boredom. I forget where we found the idea but one person draws something and then the next one draws something different, but takes a visual cue from the previous one. Note that Edvard Munch's The Scream is referenced twice (we're terribly unimaginative).

rain cloud kid

concept

eagleview landscape

So the event for work where I was there to do caricatures? It was very, very slow. So this is what I did to kill some time on Saturday.

half life 2

i've been playing a lot of that orange box thing lately, and man, is it damn good. and if he was constantly fighting these little creepy headcrabs that obviously want to go after your head, wouldn't they think to give him a helmet?

more caricatures

here's more of these, and fortunately i'm a bit happier with tonight's results.

brushing up on caricatures

I'm doing caricatures for an event at work, so I'm brushing up on the little bit of caricature skill I've got.

jude law

john krasinski

amy poehler

masi oka

tank girl

charlie ripped off ashley wood and drew her, and now i'm ripping off charlie (though not as successfully). it all comes full circle.

riding a bog turtle

Here's something i did for a happy hour invitation at work, kinda funny looking.

fightin' fungi

here's a logo/mascot i did for my fantasy football team, the fightin' fungi. although i've successfully made one very nerdy thing into something super ultra-nerdy; a mushroom giving the finger was just too funny not to draw.

colossus

colossus blocking bullets for a little russian schoolgirl.

galifanakis!

my subconscious is excited about cloverfield

hey! go see this show!

(Semi-) Weekly Sketch #8: Out of Place

Hey Paul - remember when you suggested to bring back this weekly sketch thing? Before the 4th of July? Better late than never I suppose.

transformer

seriously, who didn't see transformers and wish their car did this when they left the theater? so here's what my car would look like. and honestly, it wouldn't even have to transform if it could get me megan fox, is that so much to ask?

oh yeah! it looks like i've been keeping this blog for a year. hooray! i'll try and post more to commemorate the occasion, honest!

Love Park Flyer

Philly Bike Race

Here's some photos from the bike race i went to sunday. A good time was had by all - special thanks to no open canister laws in manayunk for the day. I took these with my phone so they're not great, but i think they captured just how fast these guys were going (and up a massive hill, no less). Oh, and the last photo is the race marshall who was drunk, dancing around and hitting on girls - those marshall standards must be tough.

getting over her

we all remember that power ranger show right? where the giant robots and monsters fought in a city and would fall into buildings along the way? those kids shows never seemed to address the obvious loss of innocent life there, haha. i'm thinking about adding color/rain into this later.

caricature

a caricature of my sister alison and her fiance josh

sylar

The villain from Heroes who rips people's heads open with his finger and steals their brains and powers and junk. Tried to go for a more finished look (i.e. an actual background), and cooler colors, so uh - here it is!

wii beatdown

Based on true, unfortunate wii tennis events, when I got severely defeated by a girl. ouch.

1982accord

It was a little awkward and i didn't always know what i was doing, but she was my first and i'll always remember her for that.

megaman two

A loving tribue to mis-spent youth. This game was often frustrating, but had unquestionably the best 8-bit soundtrack ever.

warrior

Etcetera

something different

guppy

when i grow up i want to be
one of the harvesters of the sea
i think before my days are done
i want to be a fisherman

another smyth flyer

something new! holy crap!

long time no post. just a quick sketch of some beat up dude, much like how my creativity was feeling tonight. the bonus of drawing a beat up guy is, if a limbs messed up... like say, his left hand or leg? they're broken.

The Office

I got through all of the Office dvds I got for Christmas and constantly was reminded this is probably the best show on tv. The concept is that Michael has his employees locked in the meeting room as a team building exercise and he's pretty proud of himself about it. Not quite sure about the color though, I might take another shot at this later.

Brock & Mol

I attempted to go a little further into inking with solid blacks - and boy, does it ever suck. The lesson? I should probably photo reference more than just the gun.

X-Busts

More Xmen, using the swirly design in each of these for the hell of it.


Oh! And happy new year! Hope everybody's over their hangovers by now.
