Annual Pet Show

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

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

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

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

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 !

New Sketches

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

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 !!
