More Meeting Doodles

This first image is from last week, I was testing out my co-worker's turquise pencil in blue-then I inked it. He thought it looked like the lead singer for Midnight Oil, hence the lyrics.



This doodle was based on a 3CH instant "quick theme" which is a neat website that generates random topics for painting and drawing. The theme was: "A supersonic octopus reveals a police officer in the vestiges of a lost civilization". Here's a link:

I may try to paint this when I finish the cedar painting...

New Work! continued...

Ok, I finally got back to work on this piece, having added the sky...



...and finished the old timer. Things are moving right along!



I did some more work on the old timer, added some blush and water stains from the rain. I only need to color one glove and his boots at this point...



(I'm restarting this thread here, because the original will get archived soon)
I started painting tonight in earnest. The other night I blocked out my colors but tonight I started the detail work. Enjoy!

Playing School

Today my Wife, Son and I attended a family party, and I got a chance to spend some time with my niece and nephew. We played "school" and today's class was Art. We all took some time and made some pictures. Mine is below, he's an "Elephant Person" and my niece said he was a "Mad" guy. She made a really cool alien up right off the top of her head! She's very talented and I was totally impressed with her creature! She kept it or I would have posted it also.

Friday's meeting Doodle

Tried something a little more... toony today. Had a migraine also, so this meeting was a non-stop hit parade...

Tracking Thingee

Right about now I'm trying to install a thing to track my non-existent visiters. I have to republish to load it, and this is the only way I know how. Thank you for your patience.

New Work! (not the BIG IDEA tho...)

Ok, I've finished my sketches and it's ready to be painted. Check back soon to see how my first major digital paintwork turns out! (Oats crosses fingers and toes)



Progress marches on!


Here are the preliminary sketches for a piece I'm going to do in photoshop. Some of you might recognize the subject from an earlier meeting doodle. I actually plan to do the entire piece digitally, and these were done entirely in photoshop and I loved it! It was very liberating to draw without any consequences, very freeing. Anyhoo, included are the landscape rough, a close-up of the characters face, and a rough positioning draft for the character. I think I'm going to reduce his scale, as he is probably too big as is. Enjoy, and watch for updates as work progresses!

Pitchforks and Torches

I know, I know. When I started this blog I gave the impression that I would be posting more than just doodles and I will! I just need to set aside the time to scan my more substantial stuff. Also I have a BIG IDEA. I will post work pertaining to the BIG IDEA under that heading. Slowly but surely, patience dear readers! The content will come!

Friday's meeting Doodle

Another riveting meeting, another riveting doodle. This a foggy creepy town pic...

Friday's Meeting Doodle

Ok, not a long meeting this time around, but an especially boring one. Three new doodles, the landscape being my first thumb for a new drawing/PS painting I want to do. I will of course post it when finished!

Wednesday's Meeting Doodle

This is the beginnings of fleshing out one of the characters for a project I'm imagining. I like it, but he needs to have his features exaggerated further.

Today's Meeting Doodle

Here they are! Well, today's meeting was either longer or especially mind-numbing, because I did two! The second is only half-baked, but whatdya gonna do?

Today's Meeting Doodle

From our production meeting this morning, I pictured him as a large mafia thug during a quiet moment...

Old Sketches and Drawings

Here are some of my old sketches from as far back as high school.


This has always been one of my favorite pics. (1997)


done about the same time (1997)


This is a partial page from a comic I was practicing on. Never finished it(surprise surprise!) but I liked these frames a lot. The only problem is the poor perspective on the outstretched hand, should have been bigger.(1996)


Another comic frame (1996)


Hey! Who's this young fella? This is a self-portrait from an assignment in college. Sorry about the scan quality, the original isn't in very good shape. (1990)


A drawing of the Thunder god (1989)


At the time, Ironman had just gotten a new suit... (1989)


Feral Wolverine (1988)


Last but not least, Snake-eyes from GI Joe in action. (1987)

Workplace sketches

I work for a vast corporation in the Creative dept of one of it's many tentacles. Needless to say, we are dragged into numerous meetings, conference calls and other yawn inducing get-togethers. Here are some of the doodles created to maintain my sanity...

Messing around with Photoshop

Here is a pic I drew at lunch today in Photoshop. I had the image kicking around for a couple days, so I figured I test out some of the tricks I had learned in PS. Enjoy!

Illustrator painting

This is a landscape I created in Illustrator for one of my online courses. I like it, it's casual and the sun in the trees is a fun effect. Enjoy!

Character studies

Here are a few character studies I did for a project that was thrown open to all comers. I didn't get it, but I still like them. Enjoy!

First Work post (btw, this will be the end of "First" post titles-I understand it can get very tired)

This is the first page of a comic project I've had kicking around in my head for sometime. Someday I will get around to finishing this. I also wanted to see it in color, as well as to practice using Photoshop, so...


Also, here is my original sketch for the page. I inked it first in Illustrator, then colored in PS.
