Step Into A Slim Jim

Bonesaw is reeeeaaddy! Just messing around in Illustrator again...

Brunette

A lady with dark hair. Done in Illustrator. I enjoy trying to make drawings done in Illustrator not really look like they were done in Illustrator...

Some of the latest Freelance on my plate. It's a charity event in Orlando hosted by Ken Griffey Jr. and Dwight Howard. Hopefully they are okay with their depictions. I guess KG doesn't like people drawing him with a big nose, heh.

Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3...does this do animated GIFs?...

Flippin' Chicken

I've been drawing the same thing over and over for work today, and decided I needed to drawing something that I've never drawn before really quick, so here's a chicken doing a backflip...

Rodney

Due to the resurrection of my skateboard and the many jaw-dropping, Rodney Mullen videos on YouTube, I had to take a shot at capturing some skating action. Don't mean to post on the same day as my brother, sorry Al. I tried to get it up last night, but got distracted. I wish I could Casper slide...

Just some dudes...

Okay, I drew this one with the mouse, so it's a bit sloppy. I'd really like to draw something with big, heavy, messy brush strokes that had these guys, and a bunch of other guys, beating the crud out of each other. A comic about some sort of fighting league or something. Hrm.

Lady

Just messin' around.

Just to get something up...

I haven't posted anything in a loong while (although I still feel like I should just keep letting dan-o post his stuff without diluting it with mine), so I'll just throw this up for now. It's from the calendar we do each year (click for the full size pic). And yes, that is a rhino tooshie...

Bo Barrier Reef

Workin' hard on the second book about Bo Obama for work. He goes around the world and visits all sorts of places. Here, he's kicking it underwater at the Great Barrier Reef. That's in Australia for those of you who do not know. Did I mention I would like to go there?...

Plata-wuss

I really want to go to Australia...

Salty Sea Dog

A buddy of mine, Drew, and I talk about getting a sailboat someday and sailing it all over which would could be pipe dreams, but would be amazingly spectacular. I often hope I end up an old salty sea dog when I get to my later years in life. It's unfortunate I get sea sick by just stepping on a boat if I don't have Dramamine in me. I also really like the sailor illustration by Allen in the second post of this blog with the Kraken attacking the boat in the background. Anyway, these are all inspirations for this character. Thanks for your time. 

Beach Bunny

I finally got some time to take it easy sort of, actually just got back from a trip up to B'ham, AL, and I wanted to do something fun. I had sketched this a long time ago and liked it. Thought it would be fun to color. It was, yo. I'm probably weird, but I think one piece swim suits can be enjoyable to look at. Working on the surfboard really makes me want to get out on the waves soon. It's been awhile with all the work, and the surf hasn't really been on lately. I gost the itch, and it needs some scratchin'...

I'm finishing up the work on a book about the new White House dog, Bo Obama, for work. It's been a rough few weeks with no sleep trying to get this puppy done (get it, puppy...sorry). Just thought I would share one of the images. If you like it, you can buy the book on our website at www.mascotbooks.com and it's called Bo America's Commander in Leash™. Hope you enjoy!

High-Wired

This is the first of some illustrations I ask my brother, Allen, to come up with to help me practice drawing things I'm not used to drawing. I enjoy trying to get out of my comfort zone. I used to do this sort of exercise with my parents when I was little where I would get them to draw some random squiggle on a piece of paper, and then I would have to turn that into a full drawing of some sort. Good times...oh and for pretty much all of the images in this blog, you can click on them for a bigger view...

Ke Ho'okani Nei Ke Kane Nui Ka Ukulele

As everyone knows (and by everyone,I mean my bro, Allen) I love Hawaii and all that relates to it. I have a few ukuleles that I keep next to me while I work that I pick up and play to break up the monotony. So I drew up a little illustration here in that same spirit. I've been learning Hawaiian, too, so I made him singing in Hawaiian to practice...

I actually sketches this awhile back for a client that dealt with pie when I worked at an ad agency. Felt like coloring it, so I did. Not meant to offend anyone...

Just a dude smokin' a cigar...done in illustrator...

Latest Book

©2009 Mascot Books

It's been awhile since I have posted also, mostly do to the large amounts of work I am trying to get through. Here's one illustration from the latest Wally the Big Green Monster (mascot for the Red Sox) book I am illustrating for work. It's about Wally's trip around the world. Here's he's obviously in Brazil scoring the winning goal...

Just trying to get something up here...

I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I'd put this up. It's just a few quick sketches of some characters my daughters made up. I know it doesn't compare to Danny's awesome artwork, but it's something at least...

Coffee Posters

So I finally finished up the eight posters for Kaña Coffee. It took a lot of late nights and some without sleep. I always feel like I can fix things and do better, but sometimes deadlines have to stop you whether you like it or not... It was fun though, I hope people enjoy it.

I love this image of Fish from "Fish Out of Water" by my bro, Al, so I am making it into a shirt. I just wanted to share it with the world. You can read the whole strip here. Then read all the rest of them because they are all hilarious.

Monkey Business

This is a satire on human desire, how we, at our most primal instincts, want more of what we already possess. One of something is just not enough. We need more, more, more even as we enjoy that which we want more of...or I was just playing around with some painting techniques in Photoshop...

A Pin-Up

This is my attempt at a Pin-Up Lady...

Tex-Mex

Rockabilly Rebel

Here's a Greaser dude inspired by some of the music in my tunes collection. I just acquired a large collection of Rockabilly from a friend, and it made me want to draw this guy. Colored in Illustrator...

Jersey Eater

An anteater. Anteaters are funky...

Rasta Mon

It's been a while, so here's a quicky. Inspired by the Soca and Reggae that shuffles in my collection of songs on my iPod...

yeah right

I just felt like posting something, so here's one that is just a sketch, not finished or colored...maybe I'll finalize it later when I have more time. Word to your mother. 

creature feature

I really have no idea what this is. I just wanted to get some new art up, and this is what came out. Go figure.

Cowabunga

Not much to say here. It's an octopus, and he's underwater. I would have liked to of done the lighting better...maybe I can explore that later when I have a little more time. Word. 

Chocoholic

Another lady attempt...no offense ladies, I do this too...

Laugh Attack

This one is part of my Women of the Kwiki Collection. I noticed I couldn't draw women very well, so these were an attempt to try and get them right...I'll add some more of them later. Illustrator.

Aminals

These were some test sketches for a comic we were thinking of doing. Danny drew it, and I colored a few of them (I think you have to click the image to see a larger version).

Hankerin'

Reeeal Kwiki...

Snow Lady in Preparation

I am trying to just take a bunch of my small sketches in my sketch book at work and color them when I get chances in between jobs as were done with the past two, so here's another in the Kwiki Collection as I am calling them...colored in Illustrator...

Frank

Another quick one out of the sketch book. This one a colored in Photoshop...

Flying Car

This is a quicky out of my sketch book that I scanned and colored in Illustrator...

Me, too

Here's some more content. It's actually character development for a current web project...

Ahoy!

And just to add more content, here's a picture of some sailor guy...

Yo Yo Yo!

Alright. So this may become a place for me and my brother, Danny, to post our sketches and such. I'd like it become that, at least. Basically I want to force myself to do more finished-type artwork, and I want him to post more of his stuff up on the ole' web-o-web. So I'll start things off with this old picture I did (I don't remember exactly why I drew it, though...)...
