More Characters

Hey, I did something for that THING I'm working on!  I sketched out Adam's parents.  Check it:

Paint!

I thought I'd share this, because I think it's nifty, even if it is just a bunch of paint thrown on a sheet of paper.

I painted this over another painting I did.  Actually, there are two paintings under the one you see here.  I painted this one slowly over the course of a couple weeks.  I just picked up some paint and added to it at random when I felt the need... and this is what I ended up with.  Of course, I took some closeup shots while it was in progress, and a few of them look really wicked cool, so I think I'll show you those as well!

Wow

So, that's two days in a row I haven't posted anything.  I'm slipping.  But I have an excuse!  I really do!  I went on a day trip to Santa Cruz with my girls, and then the next day we had people over to the apartment so I was busy.  And, I'm still kinda busy, because I started cleaning the living room, and now my desk is a mess because I've just been putting things on it... so I need to finish cleaning everything, I guess, or I can't work.  So I don't really know how long all of that is going to take.  Might finish cleaning tonight, maybe not.  So, just in case I don't get on to post tomorrow... Here's something with color!!!

My bad.

Ok, so I didn't post yesterday.  And, there's no art today either.  Sorry.  My bad.  But I can show you what I did yesterday!  You wanna see that, don't you?  Of course you do!  Here, lookit this thing I got from my friend Nic who is sadly moving away ;(

That thingy on the front slides up and down!  And it's got a thingy on the back so that it sits at an angle.  It's a travel drawing board thingy!!  Well, I changed up the back a little bit, because it was missing one of it's thingies.  Anyway, check it out!

I found a hardware store, and got some heavy wire to make that thing you see there.  The board already had those black thingies you see there, but they were at the bottom, so I flipped the board upside down.  Moved the handle to the top and BAM it's right side up again!

It took me a little wile to figure out how to do this part, but I think it works pretty well.  I've got yarn tied to both legs of that mettle thing, and hooked to the board so it doesn't push the legs out from under itself.  Pretty nifty, huh?  Well I think so anyway.  Now I don't have to draw on the back of an old cacanvas board when I take my work away from my desk.  I've got this thingy!

More Art!

Lookit what I made yesterday!

And there's a video!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKFsrpUYECk  Watch it!  Do it!  Anyway, I think I want to paint this one too.  I think it'd look good in color.  Anyway, it's pretty much impossible to ruin something that looks this strange, so it couldn't hurt.

Weee!

Since I've been slacking, I decided to NOT slack yesterday, and I actually drew something.  Think I'm happy with the way he looks now.

 

Well, happier, anyway.  He doesn't look quite so silly anymore.  For one, the proportions on his face are actually correct- or correctish, since he's all stylized and shit.  The point is that he doesn't look stupid anymore!  Yay!  I did stuff yesterday!
