LIVE PARTY SAMPLES

LIVE PARTY SAMPLES

MORE FUN GIG stuff...

LIVE PARTY SAMPLES

Sooooo behind on bloggin from gigs.
So in no particular order here are some faves from recent June/ July gigs.
I drew these guys before last year too, I think this was 3rd year, only this year the one guy had a black eye-They're always great fun and really dig it!...maybe some day they'll graduate...?

Twilight Twit. Part duh, er...Deux

The other one.

Twilight Twit. Dorkiest Vampire Ever

I saw an interview with this guy...I think he beat out Count Chockula for the "Dorkiest Vampire Ever" award.
Put me on team "Who Gives A Flying Shit"!

BLAST FROM THE PAST

Came across this piece I did while in art school....lo some 20 or so years ago...ouch!
It's for the story "The Old Man & the Sea"-great movie with Spencer Tracey....
I remember the reason I picked this scene was just about every other artist in class was going with the literal and obvious subjects of the marlin and boat and sea and I was tired of doing that for other projects so I wanted to go in a direction that was more personal to the story and really only accurately interpretable by those who actually read the book (or saw the movie)-not just the title.

It's still one of my favorite pieces I ever did and I miss the discipline of art school to pull me out of my "Cartoondom Safe Haven" at least once in a while...Thanks for the assignment, Kim!

MAD SCIENTIST GIFT CARICATURE

Another Saturday morning type gift caricature.
A really fun one! FLASH & Photoshop.
I coulda (and wanted) to go a LOT further with zombie or Frankenstein monsters, body parts, etc. but client didn't want to go that way-I really like the way the tubes came out and client LOVED it so it's all good!

Character designs for iphone app

STILL going on with this iphone app- more new character sketches-Opera Viking, Bowler & Brute.
VIKING is my fave!....but now I have to draw them from 3/4 overhead view like all the others.

JACKO-

He died a year ago...
A lot of controversy about the guy, BUT NO ONE can dispute he became one helluva strange looking dude and is fun to caricature!
EE HEEE!

mmmmMitzvah!-cont'd

MMmmMitzvah!

Did an M&m themed mitzvah with some great people who really LOVED my work!
Had to draw LOT of kids quickly-NOT MUCH TIME FOR PIX...
but these couples were some of my favorites- ESPECIALLY when they REQUESTED to be in SWIMSUITS!
Congrats M&m (Matt & Marissa)!
Thanks M&m (Marty & Mary)!

Tizz da season to be Groggy...

Ahh yes..... the Proj Grad/ Post prom season-gotta love them ? til 3am gigs!
These are always a blast and it seeems the lack of sleep by both artist and subject and the ensuing laughter and delerium lead to some pretty wild drawings and requests.
Always love the "group caricatures and the inevitable "jump in at the last minute" folk.
Sometimes I leave these gigs with a sore throat from all the laughing!

more Character Designy Grad Gift Flash Caricatures!

I think the Evel Kneivel and Hamlet are my favorites....

Character Designy Grad Gift Flash Caricatures!

Just finished up a bunch of these gifticature character design toons.
These are more in the style of Saturday morning cartoons-which flash lends itself to very well IMHO.
I enjoy these as a change of pace from the crazier exaggerated stuff and it's a nice exercise to try out different styles....and It's a lot of fun too-Thanks Bernd!

Dogggy-catures for wall.

This is the 1st flash/ illustrator vector toon of a job that came from the Debella Dog Walk day.
This is "Ireland" you can see the 5 min version I did at the walk is a bit different from the studio piece.
The final is to be printed 2 or 3 ft high and hung in the dog's room.
After speaking about it, I found this was the style the client wanted and best for the size/ printability issues and her preference.

Her comments: I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! I LOVE THE SHAMROCKS TOO!
I think she really loved it....Thanks Kathy!

(Although, personally I still love the Jackson farting style myself...)
