My friend is a big bill sienkevich fan (so am I for that matter). But I did this as a “HAWHAW LOOKIT ME I’m Bill Sienkevich!” and just sorta stabbed the paper with nearly random bold strokes. kinda worked surprisingly well.

paintchat

I was paint chatting with a friend o’ mine and I kinda liked this one.

Seriously…you guys suck.

Post some freaking art already!!

Here’s a little selection of the Indiana Jones sketch cards I did for Topps. Let’s see whether I get paid, or get the shaft like Kody did… These haven’t been approved by Lucasfilm yet, so no spreading them around. I did 101 single cards and four ‘panoramic’ (double-sized) sketch cards. They were fun, until they started interfering with deadlines and vacation.

Meanwhile, slackers, get to work.  Post some damned art already.

FUSE sketches

I was at FUSE last night, a semi-regular all-night event at the Vancouver Art Gallery where they basically turn the whole place into a disco. It seemed like a bad idea to me, having tons of drunks running around the artwork (drinks not allowed into the actual galleries, but nothing stopping people from pounding back 10 glasses of plonk in the outer rooms, and then staggering into the exhibit halls.)

Anyway, because this FUSE took place during the KRAZY! comic exhibit at the gallery, we comic guys took over the east wing on the 4th floor for a big 12 hr comic jam. I brought the Cintiq to get some work done, and try painting for fun. Things got crazy around 11-midnight, when all the boozy party goers started hanging out with us and drawing etc.
Everything ended up getting shut down 3 hrs early at 3am, after some guys got caught shooting up, and some drunk punched some artwork. Woo! Good times.

Anyway, here are 2 of the quickie pics I doodled during the evening.

**edit: My scared bear looks a little like Dean in the entry below. Haw.**

Acrylic

I went to visit a friend of mine while she was painting, she told me to grab some tubes of acrylic and give it a shot. I don’t think I’ve touched acrylic since elementary school.

Sorry about the lame content. I just sorta started slapping paint on the page without a plan. If midnight didn’t suddenly roll around, I probably would have stuck a bird on the other side of the page or something interesting. But, I’m kindof excited that it’s not the most horrible painting I’ve ever seen. I may even try again sometime.

Drawing a bunch of images to have randomly load on my blog when I fix it up, if you’re wondering what’s with all the upsidedownness.

Professor Challenger

Here’s a character study for Professor Challenger from Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The lost World.”

I *love* this character. Maybe because he’s a self-important self-righteous prick. ;)

Kraven

Quick B&W Kraven the Hunter sketch for no good reason.

Hard not to make him look like a porn star or Freddy Mercury with that ’stache.
