This started as a goofy doodle of a dog, then I thru in the horse and suddenly it was a pun. Enjoy

At some point or another I promised to draw something cute

did this one awhile ago and just finally got around to posting it...thanks largely to Andrew's rapid response to the bogey drawins

That was a longer gap than anticipated. Here's some more portaits of the homely. I promise I'll paint something pretty someday.

2009-02-20T01:16:00.001-05:00

Couldn't sleep, so I inked some doodles, as an ape-faced neanderthal, I take great pride in drawing the ugly.

Update!?

2008-10-31T00:27:00.002-04:00

So, it's been forever and a day since I've posted. I'm working...alot. I'm at Smiley Guy Studios in scenic downtown Toronto and it's the best job I've ever had in my life. I'm totally getting spoiled, but I can't show anything I've been working on because the shows are so far away from air. So, here's some older sketch book doodles that I've recently revisited. PS check it out, Tess finally got a blog!

War is Hell

2008-03-31T19:57:00.003-04:00

Section from a boarding exercise from school. More live-action geared than most of my stuff, but it was one of the funnest assignments I ever drewed. I used to love war comics when I was a kid. I've still got a big stack of Unknown Soldier and a couple of Weird War Tales comics that I bought when I was younger from a flea market for a quarter a piece.

Yeah, I know that there's no way in Hell you could kill a tank with a molotov cocktail, but it was in the script. I tried to justify it by having it hit a fuel tank on the back of the tank.

2007-10-27T13:12:00.000-04:00

So, here's a character I made up in flash. Just practicin'. It's actually a rework of one I did in summer, I just pushed it a li'l further.
Some quick head sketches from HotFuzz. I used them to warm up on cleaning up with the brush in Flash.

Pretty basic exercise from Character Design class. Three characters from personality descriptions in a line up, one view. Here's my take on them. All nicely Cleaned up.

Hope y'all are fine and spending your weekend doin' anythin' but homework. I gotta draw naked people for three hours this afternoon, so here's hopin' its a girl ;)

I want the 90s back when people were still making shows like Cow & Chicken. Man, I loved that cartoon.

Well, at least we've still got Spongebob and Iggy Arbuckle.

Just upgraded my portfolio because I had an interview. All'a these were done in Flash, which is getting more and more fun to use. I'm sure by tomorrow I'll have funny comments that I coulda added to each of these pix, but I'm tired and I gotta get to work.

Random Heads and Funny Aminals

2007-08-03T21:39:00.000-04:00

So first of all, California is awesome. I had an amazing time visiting my cousins out there and seeing what sights we got around to. Comicon was pretty overwhelming but I met tonnes of amazing artists and people there. I got to meet Jim Smith of Ren & Stimpy fame, Rik Maki, Joe Bluhme, Stephen Silver, Pascal Campion, Martin Hsu, Jose Lopez, Javier Guzman, Chris Sanders, Robh Ruppel, Doug TenNapel, Tom Smolenski, Ken Christiansen, Brandon McLain, Ted Moon, and Zoe Frasure. Thank you to everyone who looked over my scattershot portfolio and gave me notes on my work. Everyone I met was an education.

Here's some stuff I did in the Baltimore Airport where my flight home got delayed...just some random heads from other people just waiting to go home.

After about 9 hrs of delays some of the other people on the flight(those without sketchbooks or the latest Harry Potter) began to look as desperate as this duck.

There's still something weirdly funny to me about the idea of a drawing committing suicide. Then of course there's these idiots again...they just get more fun to draw.

Chow.

Happy Canada Day!

Here's a doodle of a stalwart Mountie.

This second one's for Evan(I totally owe you a call, cousin). Also, apologies to Kelly cuz it reminds me of one of his band guys from awhile back.

The Woodsman.
His Truck.
His Dog. The early temptation with this guy was to go with a Big Black dog, but I thought this one looked more appealling... Well, I've still gotta finish Granny's car and then I'll post her and maybe some rough BG studies.

A spooky Ol' tonal study of a draped manniquin.
I never usually post this kinda stuff, but I'm prepping a portfolio and so I archived a bunch of it on my computer and I just sorta figured I'd throw it up for the Hell of it. It's all classroom stuff.

Li'l Red Rag-Top

2007-06-03T15:10:00.000-04:00

These are some drawin's I did during my concept design intensive last month. The assignment was to reconcieve Little Red Riding Hood. My concept was to do it as a 50s drag race. I've got more stuff but these are the ones I finished and coloured. Whenever I finish the other cars and BGs I'll post them too.

Once in awhile I play with colour. I don't do nearly any colour work and I need to start playing with it more. The drawing is old but I did the colour last night. Gang, I know you guys can kick my colour blind ass, so please gimme some wisdom.

"Do YOU wanna have a BABY with ME!?"

No lie. After maybe 5 minutes of small talk, this bewitching thing asked of me this question. She moved fast, I'll give her that, but not fast enough to block the exits.
Starvation wears a flapper dress.
Some girls just think you're trying to mug them. Of course it would probably help if I took off the ski mask.

Well gang that's enough for now. Hopefully it won't be so long till my next post.

some junk

2007-02-11T22:19:00.000-05:00

I love this drawing I did of Bugs. It was a rough I did for Cleanup and Inbtwning class that I ultimately rejected because the eyes are way out of Spongebob and that's off model for the bunny. I still kept it tho, cuz it tickles me.
More freckled gals.
And a random schmoe.

Random crap

2006-12-01T14:51:00.000-05:00

Just some well, random crap I scribbled. The BG and the compact car were done while taking a break from tweening an animation assignment. The weird looking car on top has been sitting in my sketchbook for awhile and I just thought I'd throw it in for good measure. The BG was the most fun I've had drawing all week. Really wish I still had a Layout class this term. Maybe I'll do rough BGs for the next while here.

You're Beautiful When You're Angry

2006-11-30T20:51:00.000-05:00

That line never quite works out the way it's supposed to. But I keep using it. First of all, apologies to Mel and the rest of the Wednesday cartooning club for not being there. My schedule finally caught up with me. Secondly, this was an interesting experiment for me. I draw curvy girls and anger is an angular emotion. Angry poses, assertive poses are generally angular and also generally work better with the male figure because it features more hard angles. Men have a V shape Women have the hourglass. So I decided to draw a whole mess of angry gals and try to keep them angry looking and still pretty and feminine. Lemme know how I did.

I cheated a little to keep them sexy by putting them in fantasy costumes like a nurse, a maid, a playboy bunny, but I'm not that good yet.

Drama Wears a Paper Hat

2006-11-26T21:01:00.000-05:00

Just a quickie of a fainting waitress. For no particular reason. She literally fell out of my pencil and fainted. However, I still haven't missed a day without a post.

Sometimes I like the Teeth

In an unrelated aside, at Franco's request you can now leave me anonymous hate mail.

Baby!?

2006-11-18T22:03:00.000-05:00

I just found out that my old war buddy Tyler Ward and his wife Jocelyn just had a baby girl named Ayla Miriam Ward. She was born November 15th weighing in at 9lbs and has 10 fingers and 10 toes, I just hope they're not all on the same foot. Anyway, that's one cute scribble, I promise to draw something either really gross or really sexy tomorrow.

Nasal Viagra

2006-11-17T17:32:00.000-05:00

This guy's actually a rework of a really loose scribble. I think he started out as a pirate and then morphed into an old codger. This is another rework of an older doodle. I put more live into him. Before he was kind of just wall-eyed and souless. Now he's got some more attitude.

NOSE BONERS!

They are truly my favourite element in old-timey funny cartoons and NOBODY draws them anymore! With the exception of the geniuses at SPUMCO. I guess Squidward from Spongebob comes close with his reverse-boner nose, which is in character, but still.

THEY CAME FROM BEYOND THE SKETCHBOOK!

2006-11-14T21:27:00.000-05:00

I wanna adopt the guy on the bottom.
Funny faces.
Guess which one's my favourite.

Fishy characters. Such hammy acting.
Here's some more of my farvourite subject.

A mix of different ideas.

Well, I thought I'd dump a bunch of crap on you guys so that you'd have plenty of ammunition. Please, tear these apart, I'll only improve through your hatred and derision.
