I’m back again to Lubbock after going out of town for the second and final time over the holidays.  It feels good to be back home for a while, but I definately enjoyed being with family and finding some time to rest.  I decided to do a post tonight in honor of my friends at the Lubbock Sketch Club.  I was able, probably over a month ago, to a meetup with the group and brought my 4 year old son Jaiden with me.  I think the drawing I did in the short time I was there was a representation of how I felt on the inside being around other artists and really fealing that sense of community….yes…a total cartoon geek in the best possible way.  I hope in 2010 to make it a point to go more often….my schedule and family willing.  Anyways, Happy New Year’s.

These are some sketches that I did while enjoying the snow falling for the first time ever on Christmas Eve in Arlington, TX.  I always loved doing these characters around the Holidays and it has been far too long.  So even though this year is almost over…enjoy!

Character 5 - “Calling for Backup”

Character 4 - “Praying is so Emo”

Character 3 - “Dude….Linkage?”

Character 2 - “Count Spooked – a – lot”

Character 1 - “Donatellomarketer”

I decided for this weeks theme of Characters to track down some artwork from I show I saw a short clip of yesterday called Fanboy and Chum Chum on Nick.  I was immediately drawn to the exaggerated shape and expressions of the characters.  I saw this as a great opportunity to experience drawing a style that I absolutely love.  So I am taking an expression for each day of this week and adding a personality/persona and ofcourse body to this character.  Thanks for the awesome theme Henry and looking forward to everyone else participating this week! DO THE DAP!!
