Time for the Old

Sheesh, these are two really old drawings...the one on the left is from '96, maybe? A drawing of Fairuza Balk from some magazine of the time. The one on the right is from '94, drawn from the back cover of the very first tattoo magazine that I ever purchased. That drawing was actually the first time that I ever used chalk/charcoal on a black surface. Aahh, college.

The trip down memory lane will continue throughout this evening. You have been warned.

Ladies and Germs...

So Jen and I were hired by a local ad agency to make some foam costumes, in a rather tight timeframe. Had a blast, it was a highly entertaining project. I didn't even freak out until the last day, when the sheer mass of "things we didn't have time to finish" started pushing me under. But it's cool.

Honestly, folks, how often do you get invited to make foam germ costumes?! Not often enough, I'll wager.

Ad campaign here.

NERD

Saw Watchmen a few weeks ago, drew this almost immediately after. Love the GN, enjoyed the movie. Freaked out over the awesome vintage costumes (hand-sewn leather hoods? Amazing.)

March sketchiness

two quick work-sketches. Conrad Veidt (Cesare the somnambulist in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) from a studio publicity still, and a really quick lunchtime sketch.

2 more

Okay, two finished drawings. I *heart* vintage photos.

March Drawings

Top left is from a brilliant photo of Theda Bara, great expression (that I almost reproduced. almost.) And thank you, I know the 3rd piece has no head. Screwed it up horribly, just erased it in post. Was much more about the body at any rate. No, really.

January Drawings

Stuff that I meant to post 2 months ago. Including a Palermo Mummy sporting a very festive bit of headgear. Have decided that 2 key things i MUST learn to draw correctly are mouths and (oddly enough) boobs. As much as I like to draw cute girls, how can I possibly not know how to draw these things correctly!? Sad, really.
