Death is in the nose

2011-03-09T07:22:00.000-08:00

Here is a new painting that I recently finished. I started out with just the happy image of the bunny and the blobby things that i usually add to my paintings. It needed something to make it mine though, so i added some skull faces into the nose ears and tail. Its 12x14 and acrylic.

Maybe just one more post

2011-03-01T13:01:00.000-08:00

Here is another sketch i had done. This was loosely based on some vineyards i saw and the cool shape that grape vines make.

Hello Blogging world !, It has been a very long time since my last post. I do apologize for this but things have been quite hectic. I am starting to take more of a fine art approach to my artwork. I will be updating you regularly now on the up and coming paintings. I would love to share with you now these sketches for some upcoming paintings. Enjoy and please feel free to let me know how you feel.

New Friends !!

2010-09-13T18:44:00.001-07:00

Here is a sneak peek at some new friends !!

Welcome to the world Bunny Boy !

2010-04-02T06:50:00.000-07:00

here is a set of characters i have working on for quite some time now. I have been drawing short comic strips of these 2 in my sketchbook for about a year now. I thought i would share them with you. I will start to make finishes of the strips ! Let me know what you think !

The sneeze

2010-03-17T08:24:00.001-07:00

I really would like to thank everyone who checks out my blog and reads my short poems. I feel like I have gotten out of my system this project and am starting to create final versions of these poems/illustrations. I will still be posting other work as I cannot stop creating lately !! Enjoy !

Jason had a cold. It wouldn't go away. He sneezed and he sneezed till the end of the day. Along came a big one and out it blew. He head exploded. That's what a sneeze can do.

Thing

2010-03-17T08:22:00.000-07:00

The mysterious thing that sat on the curb. Where did it come from? Does it speak any words? It might be a spaceship. It might eat me for a snack. What should I do? I hope it never comes back.

Superhero

2010-03-09T18:38:00.001-08:00

The greatest superhero ever around. Always saved the day and never had a frown. Conquered all evil no matter how hard. His heroic career didn't get too far. Jumped off the tallest building when he heard a loud cry. One small thing, he wasn't able to fly!

Creative Block

2010-03-09T18:36:00.001-08:00

Staring at his blank canvas with nothing to paint. The starving artist can no longer wait. SCratching his head and flooding his mind. No inspiration or words can describe. Running through his thoughts with no place to go. HE will go insane if the work does not flow. An artist can't create if he has nothing to show. That empty white canvas will eat at his soul.

Bunnies

2010-03-09T18:26:00.000-08:00

Karen's fear of bunnies was nothing to joke. Their beaty little eyes chased her till she broke. Furry and fluffy they want to cuddle till the end. Karen would just cry, she never wanted to be their friend. One day they would get her. It's what they were meant to do. After Karen you should be running, before the bunnies get you too.

Peg Leg Pete

2010-03-07T21:15:00.001-08:00

Peg Leg Pete. The most feared pirate of the seas. A hook for a hand, a wooden block for a knee. No fear in his heart, no blood in his veins. Hunting for treasure is how he eases his pain. He only uses one eye to navigate the seas. In the belly of a squid is where he will be.

Fairy

2010-03-06T09:55:00.000-08:00

Not all fairies are cute little friends. Some have four arms and tentacles for hair. They will not grant you wishes or put bows in your hair. They are selfish little demons, who don't even care. Razor sharp teeth and claws that dig deep. They sneak in your bed and bite you in your sleep. Next time you see a fairy flying overhead. Check to see if its friendly, for it might leave you for dead.

Blind Owl

2010-03-06T09:51:00.000-08:00

An owls stare can leave you still in your step. They watch you through the night, even if there is no one left. Under the dim moon light the owls play as we sleep. This wide eyed owl has no vision to speak. You may see him staring as you wander the deep inot the wood. If your in need of help, this blind owl will do you no good.

Witch

2010-03-05T12:07:00.000-08:00

Caleb was hung in the middle of Town Square. Hung fro being a witch, but he didn't care. They burned his body, pretended he never existed. You can still hear his cry when the wind whistles. He would haunt their souls, even after death. Their children would pay for their evil mishap. If Caleb was a witch, he was quite strong. For a witches spirit lasts very long.

Swing Belly

2010-03-02T19:13:00.000-08:00

The fuzzy swing belly that roams the summer nights. Tall and wobbly you want to hold it real tight. It's adorable features can pull you right in. Play with its tails or pet its soft skin. Give it a hug your in for a surprise. Wrap you in its arms and eat out your eyes.

Fresh Flowers

2010-03-02T19:12:00.000-08:00

Picking fresh flowers can be quite a charm. Especially picking them with someone special on your arm. The smell of fresh flowers can lift you above. Picking them is worthless when you have no one to love.

Vampire

2010-03-01T20:08:00.000-08:00

The albino striped vampire who roams the garden of death. Floating around with large horns on his head. Feeding off the lost souls that rest in their place. This blood thirsty vampire goes searching the graves. TRy not to be caught near this hungry demon. He'll snatch you with his claws and you won't be leaving.

Gerald

2010-03-01T20:07:00.002-08:00

Gerald loved his books. They had become his new best friend. On many new adventures, the excitement would never end. Until one day a problem would impede. Gerald my boy, had forgotten how to read. Over and around. Turning the pages till the end. Unless he remembered how to read, he had lost his only friend.

Pearls

2010-03-01T20:07:00.001-08:00

The shallow sea monster who guards the shores. Takes care of the pearls that sit at its door. They make wonderful necklaces and look great as a gift. Grab a pearly wonder and your fingers may cease to exist.

Cereal

2010-03-01T20:06:00.000-08:00

The boy who loved cereal. He ate it four times a day. All was normal until a piece jumped and said "hey". You eat all my family, you eat all my friends. If you keep up this pace there will be no more cereal left in the land. Not knowing what to do the boy did what he knew best. He popped the piece in his mouth and chewed it like the rest.

Siamese

2010-02-26T10:55:00.001-08:00

Siamese twins are not always two and the same. One has no heart and one has no brain. Two heads aren't always better than one when one can barely think, and the other is in love. Siamese dolls and siamese cats. Everything comes in pairs when another head is attached.

The Flood

2010-02-26T07:12:00.001-08:00

The rain was coming fast. It was an unstoppable event. Not sure when it would stop, flooding soon filled their heads. SAlly put on her rain gear, boots all set to go. She built a small boat out of an old tub and a row. As the water started to rise she zipped up her coat. The rising water brought some large waves that gave her a jolt. Her rickety boat would never stay afloat. Whisked away in the rising sea. There would be no more land, or even any trees. Her boat finally gave way, all that was left was a shoe. There would be nothing for miles, in the endless sea of blue.

Skeleton Man

2010-02-24T15:00:00.000-08:00

The skeleton man who lived a lonely single life. After death he decided he wanted a wife. He found the perfect bride. Her bones were well in tact. They decided to be married. He was finally on the right path. He chose the finest tux in all of the undead land. He even fixed his bow tie with another skeleton's hand. He waited and waited for his bride to be. There wasn't another skeleton in sight. The wind sang a lonely melody. The skeleton man who lived a lonely life. Nothing would change whether he was dead or alive.

XR 9000

2010-02-23T20:14:00.000-08:00

The XR 9000, any child's best friend. It did everything they wanted, and was the new trend. All little boys and all little girls had the XR 9000, it was the newest of twirls. It did all your homework, it played all sorts of games. It even made you a hat, in case it started to rain. All was well and going smooth. The XR 9000 started to make some unsuspected moves. It's buttons changed functions. It wouldn't obey and commands. Then came the mind control plates that launched on the children's heads. From here on out the XR 9000 was through. It was the computers turn to tell you what to do.

Magical Koi

2010-02-23T20:07:00.000-08:00

The magical Koi fish who swam the mystic river. Once an ancient king who refused to get old and wither. His wish was granted with the help of some magic. The rest of this tale becomes a little tragic. Living forever in the chilly waters of the streams. The ancient kings life was more than he dreamed. He was safe from the world and hadn't a care in sight. Till one fateful day he mistook a hook for a bite. Caught in the line and mistaken for fresh fish. The ancient king was next served on a dish.

Mars

2010-02-23T20:05:00.001-08:00

After 100 years of science and 100 years of travel. We finally made it to Mars to see what we can unravel. There wasn't any water or fuel for our cars. They do have many large rocks which can't take us very far. No intelligent life or plants to spare. There are lots of monsters and really bad air. Nowhere to run and no place to go. This forbidden planet is now my new home.

Down the Drain

2010-02-22T19:36:00.000-08:00

Bobby was afraid of getting sucked down the drain. It's happened before and the legend has always been the same. You step inside and let the water run. Once it fills up it pulls you deep in the tub. Through the pipes and into the ocean. The drain has taken you in a single motion. Holding his breath with his ducky held tight. Bobby stepped in and vanished out of sight.

Sock Puppet

2010-02-18T20:38:00.000-08:00

The monkey sock puppet who was delicately made with love. He's become slightly ragged. His stripes not nearly as dove. Left at the bottom of the closet of the den. This new addition is having trouble fitting in. The other socks are lifeless. They have no buttons or ears. There is not fluffy stuffing, he's nothing like his peers. They smell and their dirty. Their patterns quite bland. All this puppet needs is a small helping hand.

Safari

2010-02-18T05:56:00.000-08:00

In the heart of the jungle a hunter seeks his prey. A new mount for his wall is why he's searching today. This large exotic creature has never been seen by man. A legend of the jungle. Even the local tribes fear its command. The hunters moving slowly, listening to the land. There's a rustle in the bushes, this could be my only chance. I hear heavy breathing, I'll be the first to have a glance. I'll take a step back, I want a good shot. I feel its heavy breathing, deep in my heart.

Blizzard

2010-02-16T12:47:00.000-08:00

It was the worst blizzard I have ever seen. Snow was flying everywhere. Even in-between. I have been walking for hours, trudging through the snow. Where I was, I would never know. Hoping I could see any familiar sight. The shimmering snow was my only source of light. Colder and colder my body is getting weak. If I don't find my way, I'll be frozen here for weeks.

Dog Pound

2010-02-15T18:43:00.000-08:00

The sole puppy left in the pound. Wandering away from home I wound up lost and found. The kind and loving family that I thought I once knew, haven't come to rescue me. I feel like a lost shoe. Time is running out. They better get here fast. Dog's that aren't puppies don't seem to last. No one wants an old dog. WE sleep from dusk til dawn. I hope my family finds me, I don;t have very long.

Lump

2010-02-15T18:41:00.000-08:00

One day a small lump started growing on my arm. I didn't know what to do, it really wasn't any harm. The lump got bigger and bigger. One day it grew an eye. I kept it tucked under my shirt, but then it got a stye. Now it started talking. IT wears a top hat on its head. I always wanted a brother, I got a lump instead.

Valentine Dinner

2010-02-15T18:38:00.001-08:00

The happy man with his beautiful wife. They made a great dinner well equipped with ice. All went well from beginning to end. The chicken tasted great. The salad chilled and petite. The bread warm and toasty. It was a buttery treat. The loving man forgot his wife was allergic to wheat. The fluffy white gold enamored her plate. A taster for her love is all she would take. ON his way to the table, dessert in hand. His wife was keeled over, bread in her hand.

Skeleton Zoo

2010-02-12T16:10:00.000-08:00

Every night in the cemetery the skeletons roam the grounds. They are looking for a home that can never be found. Not sure where they are, not sure what to do. When the sun sets in the cemetery, it becomes a skeleton zoo. Some are friends and loved ones, others once were pets. Don't disturb the skeletons, for they easily get upset. If you see a skeleton hanging around a grave. try not to get frightened. You will meet them there one day.

Mount DuBlanc'

2010-02-12T15:59:00.001-08:00

The famous race at Mount DuBlanc'. Happens every year and cannot be stopped. A race to the top of this steep french mountain. Pierre DaFoe thought no one would catch him. He's never won a race, never finished his final lap. He kept a lucky rabbits foot tucked away in his cap. His pint sized car with rocket speed was a very fast machine. Fast I tell you. Fast indeed. Pierre took the lead all the way to the top. Caught up with his victory he didn't think to stop. Off the mountain his car flew and flew. Pierre's last lap was finally through.

Dark Trees

2010-02-10T20:27:00.000-08:00

It's the only way home. I have no other choice. Through the dark forest, you would never hear my voice. The trees are dark and heavy. They never grow any leaves. Their spiny long branches, will make you stop and heave. The spirits inside make you weak at the knees. I hold my breath. I swallow my pride. It's the only way home. I hope I make it out alive.

No Milk

2010-02-09T16:03:00.000-08:00

Dolores the cow was very unique. A milking cow who made no milk to speak. The farmers all left her alone in the pasture. Hoping one day she'd be served with mashers. Her only known purpose was to make milk for all. She couldn't make milk, but it wasn't her fault. Dolores was useless as a cow used for milking. The farmers would grind her right up for cooking.

Long Lost Love

2010-02-09T07:03:00.000-08:00

I have finally gotten my internet back and am back posting all my recent work !! Please leave comments !!

His long lost love he was bound to find. She came and went, but never slipped his mind. She stole his heart right from his chest. He would rather have her than take it back. He packed his things and off he went. To find his love, it was time well spent. He searched all the land, high and low. Reached the end of the world to find a little note. It was attached to his heart, she had left no more tracks. It wasn't his heart that he wanted back.

Shy Boy

2010-02-09T07:00:00.000-08:00

Be kind to the boy who is quiet in class. For you may never know what kind of powers he may possess. You can bully him around, he'll never answer back. After you made your move, he'll get you with a snap. You may feel a little queasy, then you look around. You arm is now a monster, dragging you to the ground. The little shy boy who does what he's told. Don't push his buttons, he may send you to another world.

Sea Of Monsters

2010-02-09T06:57:00.000-08:00

In the sea of monsters, all is not well. There isn't a creature floating that won't scare you out of your shell. Some breathe fire, others latch onto your skin. Some are so black with evil, you don't even get a chance to swim. Enter the sea of monsters, you'll have a nice surprise. It might not come in a pretty box, but I can guarantee you many eyes.

Nine Lives

2010-02-09T06:50:00.000-08:00

There's a good reason cats have nine lives. They come and steal your soul when you look into their green eyes. When they cross your path, you should stay very calm. Don't let this fury creature jump into your arms. Thats when they steal your soul and put it in a bottle. If that bottle isn't filled, your in for some trouble. Beware that cute little cat who has many many lives. He might just trick you into looking at those big bright eyes.

Pickle

2010-02-09T06:46:00.000-08:00

One day my pickle jumped right up off my plate. HE said he'd grant me wishes if i let him run away. Oh the many wishes I would want to have. Giant lizards and monsters to help me rule the land. I could be a hundred feet tall and shoot fire from my mouth. INstead I'll eat this pickle before he runs right out. I poked him with my fork and chewed him into bits. I haven't eaten a pickle that taste better since.

Candy Striped Witch

2010-02-01T07:57:00.000-08:00

Sorry I have not been posting much past few days. I have no internet service at the new place yet !!!! Enjoy !!

The long legged witch with candy striped thighs. Evil as could be she terrorized the skies. Haunting and bothering the pleasant people in town. They ran to the wizard to stop their endless frowns. He summoned a tornado to come down from the skies. Go home and sleep, do not worry or cry. I will take care of this, run off to bed. For when they awoke, there was a house on that witches head.

Waiting

2010-01-28T20:39:00.001-08:00

Even though moving has been my priority and I really cannot think straight this week, I feel like many of my recent poems have been about love. Mostly lost love. Enjoy !!

Waiting for his love that he once lost. The boy on the rock knew his only cause. He would wait for her return, whether she knew or not. He would sit and wait on that giant rock. The wind would blow, the rocks drift in the sand. The boy would never be happy unless he held her pretty hand. No one in the distance. No one on the horizon. Waiting for his love, it would be real quiet.

Caged Bird

2010-01-27T20:42:00.000-08:00

Just had a little extra inspiration. Another poem !!

The little bird in the little cage. Whistles along til the sun takes a break. Sleeps and eats on the same old pole. Day after day never changing its role. Year after year it follows it's routine. This little bird will never enjoy a new scene.

Old Bear

2010-01-27T20:26:00.000-08:00

IT has been a verrryy busy week. I am moving and my mind could not think about poems. It has been very robotic. Move-Build-Move. Todays art and poem is kind of an indirect tribute to my love for the Winnie The Pooh books. When I was working at Disney (before being kindly laid off) I was working on a special WTP project, read all of the books, which are amazing. Here is an indirect sad tribute !

The old bear in his attic chest. Comes to life while you are at rest. Thrown next to the chewed up fox. This bear wanders the attic deep into thought. Will he leave or is this the end? Will this bear ever be loved again?

New Kid

2010-01-24T19:25:00.000-08:00

New in school and new in town. Josh McCloy rarely frowned. A good little boy who did his best. He made his bed and passed all his tests. No one would speak to him or give him a chance. Josh would always be the new kid in class. He would make no friends, or have anyone around. Josh made his first, never ending frown.

Lonely Ghost

2010-01-24T19:20:00.000-08:00

It has been a crazy week. I am moving this week and my mind is everywhere !!! I did not get a chance to create a poem yesterday so I decided to create 2 for today !! Enjoy !!

The lonely ghost of little Troy. Struck by a train when he was a small boy. The first to be buried under the large oak tree. The only ghost lurking in the dark cemetery. Time passes by and nobody visits. THere are no other souls who know of is existence. Seasons still chance, the grass still grows. Its hard to be the only ghost you know.

Four English Guys

2010-01-22T11:34:00.001-08:00

I have always wanted to do a Beatles tribute as I am always inspired by their music when I work. I finally have come up with something. !! Enjoy !

The four english boys who loved to sing. They wore matching suits and their guitars would ring. They were unstoppable, their music a blast. They were on top of the world, on it real fast. Tragedy struck these lovable friends. Four became three, then two in the end. They all grew apart, their music soon died. They were never the same, those four english boys.

Coffee Bean Monster

2010-01-21T20:18:00.000-08:00

Coffee is something that most people need in their everyday life I do enjoy coffee, but I do not need it to survive. There are some creatures that do ! Enjoy ! Please leave comments !!

The coffee bean monster of the peruvian shore. Preys off coffee beans, but doesn't eat much more. This sneaky ground dweller has a horned front bill. They grab those beans from your precious morning fill. Next time you have your lovely cup of java. Check on the ground for this bean eating monster.

Birthdays

2010-01-20T16:59:00.000-08:00

This was my original post for yesterday. Hope you enjoy this, it is one of my favorites !!

Birthdays are great, they come once a year. This little boy had a different idea. Instead of celebrating with his friends in his home. His decided he wanted to have his birthday alone. He ate his cake and opened his gift. Nobody watched or cheered him a bit. After a while on his birthday throne. The boy finally realized. He's spending his birthday alone.

Baby Bottle

2010-01-20T16:58:00.000-08:00

I decided to create another post for today ! Enjoy !!

Rock a bye baby, on the tree top. You cry for your mother when your bottle drops. Im here when your sleeping. I watch you when your awake. No need to be afraid, one day we have a date!

Arctic Cold

2010-01-20T16:50:00.000-08:00

I passed a Titanic Expedition at the Discovery Museum in Midtown today. This had me thinking about the real Titanic Story. Enjoy!

The arctic cold has an eerie chill. There is ice for miles and the waters still. I am the one who lurks in the deep. Unknown to the world, I like my beauty sleep. When intruders pass, I sink their glorious ships. The icebergs get the blame, I use your bones for toothpicks. When you feel a breeze, know I am there. Lurking the arctic sea of fear.

Pin Cushion Man

2010-01-19T20:25:00.001-08:00

I actually created another poem today but left it at work !!, I will pst it tomorrow along with a new one as well. Nothing wrong with 2 in a day ! I really love the pin cushion man from the old Ub Iwerks Cartoon. This is inspired from that short !

The pin cushion man who felt no pain. He held his pins tight deep in his brain. He performed his daily duty and stayed out of trouble. Until one day he spotted a bubble. Beautiful and bright, round and sleek. This love at first sight would be hard to keep. He begged and he pleaded with his new round love. Fate would be defeated by its sharp ended hugs.

Freddy's Garbage

2010-01-18T20:21:00.000-08:00

It's getting close to midnight !!!, but I have come through again with another poem !!!! Under pressure they always come through !! Please leave comments ! Enjoy !

Freddy hated garbage. He hated it oh so much. Freddy decided one day, enough would be enough. He built a living compactor to eat all his old junk. It ate all of Freddy's garbage, and chewed it into a chunk. He then ate all his pillows, and all of his dress shoes. It finally ate Freddy. What else should a trash compactor do?

Henry

2010-01-17T18:46:00.001-08:00

Still pretty tough to come up with some new stories every day, but I'm pushing on. Im trying to use all sorts of inspiration for my stories. Hope everybody enjoys !. Comments are greatly appreciated.

Henry was a good boy who was seven years old. He put away his toys and did what he was told. When the moon is at its brightest Henry doesn't feel that right. He grows fangs and claws and hair out of sight. Normally Harry is quiet and shy. When the moon is in the distance, I wouldn't stand nearby.

Devil

2010-01-16T17:23:00.000-08:00

I have been extremely busy lately. I almost forgot about my illustration today, but luckily found a few minutes to come up with one. I watched the soloist last night( not such a good movie ), and this sort of inspired from it. (sorta) !! Enjoy !!

Kimberly had everything she ever wanted. She was good at most things, but that wasn't the problem. Kim wanted to be the best violin player in the world. She practiced and played but was still nowhere near her goal. She offered to sell her soul to the devil. Of course he accepted, why would he care. It would be nice to have some lovely music to his ears, down below in the dark places most people fear.

Boogey Man

2010-01-15T11:14:00.001-08:00

Everyone has had a moment when they look across their room because they thought they saw something. What if what you saw was real. I am really excited about how many poems and illustrations I have come up with so far. I will definitely keep going. I hope to start some finishes of the artwork soon though, otherwise I will need to do a bunch each day just to keep up with myself.

He lurks inside your close when the bedroom lights go out. The sight of just his shadow will make you scream and shout. Scare you while your sleeping, you think that he's not there. He watches every move you make, the boogey man is well prepared. When you think you see him, try and stay real calm. Once he gets a hold of you, there's no use in screaming for mom.

Nutcracker

2010-01-14T17:53:00.000-08:00

I have been seeing a lottt of nutcrackers on sale in most stores. Its that after holiday push to get rid of all holiday goods. This got me thinking about Nutcrackers and their usage. Enjoy !!

The sad and lonely life a nutcracker lives. It gives its heart and soul to cracking walnuts into bits. They're stores in dark boxes, only to awake to the cold and bitter nights that winter gives way. Used in its glory only a few times a year. What other purpose does a nutcracker have here?

Tea Time

2010-01-13T18:41:00.001-08:00

I was talking with a few people lately about horror films. I am a huge fan of horror films and love fear. I think it is one of the strongest emotions we have. I have an incredible fear of dead children (thank you "the shining"). Enjoy !!

Tea is at four. Crumpets at ten. There's always a few visitors now and again. Ethel would talk, her imaginary friends would listen. They were always around, little Bobby and Kristen. The tea was great, but Ethel was misled. Bobby and Kristen weren't imaginary. Her new little friends were dead.

Giant

2010-01-12T16:40:00.000-08:00

Today's illustration is inspired from someone important to me that I lost last year.

The local giant of the ancient hills. Carried a golden heart, but loved to have his thrills. He'll lift your house to see inside, jump on his back and go for a ride. Scared to death of his monstrous size, the people of the village decided it was time. They gathered ten men and ten sharp sticks. They took the giant down and tore him to bits. That was the fall of our giant friend. His golden heart meant nothing in the end.

Voodoo Doll

2010-01-11T12:28:00.000-08:00

I am a huge fan of toys, dolls and children's play objects. They mean so much us when we are children, but those toys souls never really do leave us do they ! Enjoy !!

The loving doll of Madame Lareau. The voodoo queen who resides on the river blue. All she wants is to be your friend. Once she is yours, she is yours til the end. If strange occurrences start to happen, remember this doll has powers which you can never imagine. Always be kind to your little doll, for if your not you may take an unfortunate fall.

Psycho

2010-01-10T19:50:00.000-08:00

So tonight I had the pleasure of watching one of my favorite horror films, Psycho. Thus really is a beautiful movie. The shots are great and Hitchcocks story and suspense are amazing !! Todays story is a direct inspiration from the film. Enjoy !!

Little Norman always did what mother said to do. He brushed his teeth and tied his shoes. He parted his hair and pressed his shirt. Even if it was all right, she still made him eat dirt. Norman loved to stuff animals, especially birds. One day mother will surely get her turn.

Tortoise and Hare

2010-01-09T14:35:00.000-08:00

I was just doing some thinking about racing today probably because I received my new amazing RC car (yes I am 5 !!). It worked out for the best though !! Hope you enjoy todays work !!

The infamous tale of the tortoise and the hare. The tortoise always wins, the hare never really cared. Time and again he'd lose those races. After a while, the hare just couldn't take it. He was shamed in the forest and to all of his friends. Hare knew what to do this would be the end. He wouldn't have to race or get a new pair of shoes. It just so happened that hare took a liking to fresh turtle soup!

Love Songs

2010-01-08T12:32:00.000-08:00

Todays artwork is something that is pretty meaningful toe me. I have listened to my Beatles collection over 10000 times already, and I envy the ingenious songs they have. Here is a sad love song tribute to them.

The saddest song ever written was by a young boy whose heart had been bitten. HE sang for his love, for whom he held high above and yet she never wanted or needed him. They boy's happy love songs became sad and alone, as did he when she left in the distance. He still plays everyday, hoping she may actually want or miss him.

Balloon Boy

2010-01-07T19:57:00.000-08:00

I really do not pay attention to the news (most of it anyway), and did not know much about the balloon boy story besides the fact that it was a huge scam. But what if it wasnt...... !!!! I also have to mention that lately the illustrations have been coming out much faster. My idea becoming an image in one shot has been going well. I think this is a big breakthrough as an artist !

All little boys want to fly. Only a few will ever give it a try. Some jump off couches, others jump in the air. Most will just dream and not even care. This clever boy knew what to do, blow up the biggest balloon and let it fly you. Up up in the air he soared and he sailed, flying through clouds this plan would never fail. On and on, further he went. Well that balloon never did come down and he was never seen again.

Gnomes

2010-01-06T20:44:00.001-08:00

Longggg dddaayyy !!! Almost missed my deadline to post for the day !! So todays inspiration came directly form work. I was working on a Dora episode which had a gnome garden. Gnomes in general are interesting so here's my take on them !

Garden gnomes live under backyard fountains. they take care of our gardens but that's all we really know about them. Don't ever try to hunt them and catch them. They hide in the bushes, they hide in the trees, if you get too close they'll bite at your knees. These little gnomes aren't as friendly as they seem.

Sisters

2010-01-05T15:52:00.001-08:00

Today's illustration came to me last night while watching TV. Funny how things hit you in the strangest places. Enjoy !!

Be Kind to your sister, for you may never know. She might be a mad scientist in a pretty dress to show. You may torture her dolls, and pull on her hair. When you are asleep, you would never know she was there. She'll play with your brain, maybe even give you a new one. When your sisters a mad scientist, this is how she has her fun!

Pig King

2010-01-04T11:42:00.000-08:00

Today has been a hectic day. Busy weekend, and heading into Nickelodeon for some Dora work. Today's poem was fun to draw and work on ! Enjoy !! Please comment like usual !!

Come with me my pudgy friends, for I am the pig king sent to save you from the end. Hop along my wondrous train, take a trip and never worry again. This pigs followed along, excited for their adventure. Maybe they would eat lavish foods, it would be such a pleasure. Off they went far in the distance, soon to be the end of their existence. It was hard to tell and difficult to see, but the large pig piper happened to be the bacon king !

Summer

2010-01-03T18:52:00.000-08:00

Considering how cold it has been today, I cannot recall how I came up with a summer themed poem, maybe its wishful thinking. I would really like to thank everyone for the encouragement on this massive undertaking, it really means a lot to me. Enjoy !! Comments are always deeply deeply deeply appreciated !!

Summer is here, oh boy!, oh joy!. The most wonderful time of year for all girls and boys. Trips to the beach, vacations all around. Don't you just love that fresh ocean sound. All is quite well when swimming the ocean blue. I forewarn you beware of the fish that may want a nibble or two. They may pick at your fingers, the may chomp at your toes. Depending on their last meal, they might even bite off your nose. Who knows when the last time these creatures have eaten. Next year in the school yard, you may never be seen again.

Timbuktee

2010-01-02T15:15:00.000-08:00

I'm not too sure about this one. I think its slightly lighter than the rest but can still fit in with them. Let me know what you think?

The abominable snow creature from Timbuktee, has a thing for lost shoes but that's between you and me. Collecting what he finds on the side of the mountain. He loves his special finds, and could not live without them. When hikers see him come out of his cave. They jump out of their shoes, some even their grave. There's a pile of left and pile of right. Shouldn't a snow creature just have a snowball fight?

Jeremy

2010-01-01T18:25:00.000-08:00

Happy New Years Everyone !! - Even though I reallly wanted to be lazy and kill my hangover today, I forged on in a dark room with a sloppy pen to do my drawing and poem for the day. Hope you enjoy !!

Jeremy loved to eat. It was his favorite hobby. When he ran out of donuts, he ate his best friend Bobby. Donuts and footlongs, diet soft drinks on the side. Jeremy couldn't stop, it showed in his size. The bigger he became the more he ate. There was never enough that he could fit on his plate. He never had a preference in food as you can plainly see. If he did, I tell ya he wouldn't have eaten me!

Rusty Robot

2009-12-31T11:16:00.000-08:00

So creating something everyday is not as easy as it may look ! I found myself for the past two days struggling with what to write about and illustrate, while at the same time caring about it, and keeping it dark - whoa ! In light of my love for the Twilight Marathon on New Years Eve, I decided to dedicate this one to the Sci -Fi in all of us ! Happy New Years. Enjoy !!

Louis the robot lived a lonely life. He had no robot children or a robot wife. He stands in the rain, shine or wind. He's never had any visitors, he never had any friends. He sits in the junkyard where was first put together. Louis waves to the parked cars, falling leaves and feathers. No one ever answers or helps make him feel better. All he ever wants is for someone to say hello. For now he must wait and watch the rust begin to grow.

Stronger Arrows

2009-12-30T15:37:00.001-08:00

Trying to do an illustration and a drawing everyday is a lottttt tougher than it seems. But it's great practice and it has forced me to produce something everyday which I love. I'm waiting for some pens in the mail before I begin the finishes on these pieces. I would love to make compilation of all my little poems and illustrations into a book ! (I can dream !) The trend so far has been to a darker side with my stories, and I like that. I am going to keep it going down this route because it keeps it unique in a darker side of children's artwork. I do not mean to make artwork that is for children either, When my pen hits the paper this is what comes out !, Might as well not hold back. Today's illustration means a lot to me and for those of you who know me will understand why. Enjoy !

Vincent loved Kristen for a very long time. To get her to notice him he began speaking in rhyme. He showered her with flowers, candy and gifts. She never even noticed his new shirt has a small rip. He swooned and he dreamed of some time with this fair maiden. She was gift from above, a girl sent down from heaven. Even Cupid had come to try and help this poor fellow. He shot her many times with his love potion arrows. Hoping his love would soon seep into her skin. Kristen passed by Vincent like a spec in the wind. After all his tries, attempts and tricks. She didn't even notice that he barely exist.

Sock Monster

2009-12-29T15:33:00.000-08:00

NO matter howwww detailed and organized you do your laundry there is always bound to be a missing sock. It never fails. The smaller of the sketches is actually with a nib fountain pen. I love the gritty look of pen on paper and would like to have my finishes of all these poems as pen (good pen) on good paper so i thought i would give sketching with a nib a shot ! Wasn't too difficult but still need some work on it. Practice makes perfect anyway.

Everyone knows about the infamous sock chomper. Lurking the night and eating from your hamper. He likes one from your lucky pair and two with a pattern. If your up late at night, you might even catch him. The smell never bothers his nose, because he doesn't have one. He wears them on his horns like a stinky hat. They taste even better for breakfast, especially the ones with the holes in the back. If you want to keep your lucky socks, you should beware. Once they come off those precious feet, he'll find that special pair.

Annual Pet Show

2009-12-28T15:43:00.000-08:00

As an animal lover, i always try to incorporate pets. Especially dogs!! I'm not a huge fan of cats, but they always seem to make great illustrations. Enjoy !!

The annual pet show of P.S. 242. Bring your cat or dog and show us what they can do! The dogs chase a ball, the cats are dressed in pink. There's always a kid with a goldfish leaning over the sink. Patty kept saying her pet Morris is really unique. He looked like a cat, he purrs like a monster. Patty said when she found him, he was only the size of a lobster. He eats regular cat food, or tuna in a can. When they go for their nightly walks he drinks water outside the power plant. Morris keeps getting bigger, and has been starting to grow more arms. I think first prize should fit him like a charm.

The Greatest Caper

2009-12-27T19:15:00.000-08:00

So forcing myself to write a short poem everyday as well as an accompanying illustration has been going well so far. 3 days and counting !!... Tonight I watched a marathon of the original Pink Panther movies. These are incredibly funny movies, even 40 years later ! It inspired me to create something thief related. Enjoy !!

Ah the story of the greatest mini caper. Known by all from the headlines of newspapers. If you turn your back, he'll even steal your stapler. He's stolen all of the great gems and treasures from around the globe. He was only eight, but never did what he was told. Sneaky as could be, he was the best, even the police would agree. Then one night at the Museum De France. The mini caper had his final chance. His eyes were on a mysterious plant from Brazil. Man-eating to be exact but who could tell. When he lifted his prize and basked in his glory. The plant was hungry. End of story!

Lucky Rabbit

2009-12-26T17:13:00.000-08:00

So, haven't had the greatest year, or the best luck at all! In honor of one of the worst years ever I figured I would sum it up.

The luckiest rabbit in all the land, he may not have legs but he sure has two good hands. He finds his lucky shamrocks and closes his eyes, picks his pennies and rubs them on his thighs. Of course he misses his legs and his feet, but they're in better hands now. A gift for unlucky pete.

Wooden Boy

2009-12-24T08:21:00.000-08:00

So today I started doing some character sketches for my wooden boy poem. I also added a few lines to the poem as well. It felt incomplete, and needed an ending. I'm not a huge fan of adding backgrounds to anything for some reason. I just seem to really just care about characters, and I think when they alone exist in space it makes for a nice image. Here is the new poem as well as the character sketches. Let me know what you think !

The wooden boy who told no lies. He was poorly made but never cried. He did his good, he tried real hard. Becoming a real boy wasn't very far. He had a few laughs, a beer and a smoke. Who ever though a wooden boy could tell a dirty joke? It happened to be more than even his conscience could stand. When the blue fairy heard there was trouble at hand, she did what she knew best and called on the axe man ! It wasn't that hard to be very good. Now the wooden boy is just a log of fire wood.

New Year, New Art, New Goals

2009-12-23T18:27:00.000-08:00

So, I have never really posted much of my writing or thoughts on this website. I was always interested in doing it, but never took a real stab at it. For the new year, I have set many high goals for myself as an artist and would like to share my thinking process with you. As you can see from my previous postings, most of my artwork is very clean (line wise) as well as colorful. From here on I have decided to do what I reallllyyy love to do. Write my rhyming poems, and draw with grit and raw line work, because nothing makes me happier than sketchy artwork. I also tend to have a dark side of humor with my work. So enjoy !!

So after seeing the Princess and the Frog, which was good but not great, I started thinking about how amazing the old Disney films are, such as Pinocchio. It is one of my favorite films. It is beautiful in every which way. The wooden boy becoming the real boy can have many meanings, here is my stab at Pinocchio (literally). Hopefully, will bring this to finish !

I used this new paper called "yupo" to do the inkwork - AMAZING PAPER !!!

New Sketches

2009-07-16T10:49:00.001-07:00

I wish I stopped putting doing more drawing/finishing art off as much as I do. I have tons of ideas for shows and art in general. I need a permanent fire under me. The little sleeping boy is an idea I have about kids and nightmares. The other is just a cool character illustration idea.

New Sketches Part 2

2009-04-21T10:24:00.000-07:00

This is the second part to the Chloe sketches. There is also a sketch of a boy in a car which is a new initiative that I'm working on !!

New Sketches Part 1

2009-04-21T10:20:00.001-07:00

These are some sketches I have been working on for a Children's Story/Book that i wrote. This is the worlds first introduction to Chloe And Her Bunnies !!
