This was a drawing of Rudolph that Jaiden did on the computer with a little help from me.  He tells me that when he gets older he will help me at my office and do whatever I tell him to.  I am looking forward to possibly keeping cartooning in the family…possibly (crossing fingers).  Oh yeah, Jaiden wanted to make sure everyone knows he is 4 yrs. old

I’m leaving town for the weekend.  I plan to take a break from the computer, which is good timing since my laptop needs a new power cord.  I do however, plan to take my sketchbook and pencils/pens with me.  So I should have some sketches to post when I get back.  In the mean time, enjoy this coloring I did of a previous sketch.  I think I will make this my official break image….still give me feedback though.  Thanks!

This was a quick digital painting I did.  I painted this based on an amazing piece of work called “Strawberry Shortcut” done by Jake Parker.

This was a cake that my 4 yr. old son Jaiden and I worked together to make a couple weeks ago.  It was based on a drawing Jaiden did of a robot.  I thought it turned out awesome!  Certainly was nice that Joyce made a Chocolate Strawberry Cake under all that icing….it was outstanding!

Inked this sketch using a new pen I just got.  I then scanned that image into photoshop and colored the artwork using my mouse.  Smile Happy Banana…Keep Smilin’

Well…Here is my entry for day 2…..so get off my back Chas….geez!  Anyways, this is taken from a panel featured from BoltCity.com

Run blue bunny!!!….Run you cute little blue bizarre buddy…I’m goin to bed.

This is the first of hopefully countless sketches to come.  I have agreed to join up with some friends of mine and attempt to do atleast one sketch of some sort everyday.  I may have got carried away on my first submission, but it was well worth it!  I did all of this piece using a wacom tablet and adobe photoshop.  This is my first attempt to really sketch in this fashion and I think it turned out pretty decent.

Granted it is taken from a sketch that Will Terrell did for one of his characters from his webcomic “SuperZeros”.  I wasn’t trying to duplicate his sketch 100%, but it was amazing material to use for a really fun challenge!  I was gonna leave it black and white, but then I couldn’t help myself.  The character, Rosina “Muertina” Montano, has the most vibrant colors and possibly personality in the story.  Maybe I am drawn to these characters with hair colors that are purple and blue, because I long to go back to my Freshman year in college when I had bright blue hair and two pierced ears?….maybe not.  On that note….Let the sketching begin!
