Top o' the mornin' to ya!

Exploring the galaxy is rough business. You gotta get up pretty early in the AM if you wanna beat the Farkalians to the outer edge of the Oort Cloud and back.

Every morning growing up, my father used to come into our rooms and declare a rousing 'Up an at 'em!' I began to hate those words by the time I graduated.

More to come...

A Hare at the Beach

Found an old sketch recently but never felt like it was finished, so I threw some color and texture at it. Hope you like it.

Wishing it was warm now.

Oh noooooo....

 

...run for your life from the Twinkie Invasion...A war is waging on planet earth and the invaders from Planet Hostess are laying waste to our world with their armada of Twinkie ships and strange Monkey Bear robots.

Found this little gem in the archives when I was doing a little studio cleaning. It's the last one for a while. 

First come, first serve for the special price of $40. 

11" x 20" artwork with 1" border on watercolour paper. Gently loved.

Fright Night...

It's been a long time since I've seen a really good scary movie...I've had to settle with American Horror Story...and not to say it hasn't been great, but it doesn't make me check the closet or under the bed. Hope you enjoy.

Night of the Purring Dead

Just a little mood setter for Halloween. Started this zombie cat whilst watching The Walking Dead....okay, gotta go toilet paper some houses....Cheers

Your attitude sucks!

Had a little time on my "vacation" to do some animating. I put together this little animation test from a VO I found on an animation site. I took the voice over from the list and came up with an idea and characters... et voilà you've got what you see here.
Hope you enjoy the best 6 seconds you'll have since you left facebook.

For more fun quick animations from another site and the originator of this concept:
11 sec animation club
It's mostly dominated by 3D animation nowadays but still lots of fun.

Cheers,

Candy Cane Strut

A little test animation I whipped up for Betty and Yeti. Looped 2x for double the fun...or not...

Twit Twot Tweet Tweet

So I came across these little guys...while doing one of those random walk-abouts through my old files.
I thought it was a bit strange when I realized I made this like 5 years ago. Not that I have a shot in hell of retrieving any royalties from Twitter for the "tweeting" little blue bird. But I can fantasize, right?

Cheers,

Yeti like candy!

So it'll be summer in a couple weeks and I don't why I'm posting this, but here it is. I have so many unfinished pieces, I'm not quite sure why I gravitated to this one on the list but here it is. I just finished it up. Hope you like it!

Have a cool one.

A Little Tease

Just a little snippet from my upcoming show with the designers from work. I'll keep everyone posted on the event that will be held at FOE Gallery in Northampton, MA starting in 11 days.

FOE Store & Gallery is a new home for subculture art, designer toys, kaiju and kawaii in Western Massachusetts.

Keep it greasy.

It's right there, under your nose!

Cut off your nose to spite your face.
Keep your nose to the grindstone.
Can't see the nose in front of your face.
Paying through the nose.
Keep your nose clean.
Don't be so nosy.
and....
Up your nose with a rubba hose!

This is Sparta!!!

Today's blog post courtesy of 300 and a dirty martini. Just a little doodle in the new sketchbook.

I've got a show coming up with all my work peoples, so hopefully I'll be posting with more frequency than as of late.

I'll post the details of the show when I know more. Have a great week!

Rain, Rain, Go Away...

So I'm not sure who lives here, but by the looks of things, they haven't been around for a while. I started this piece a ways back but finished it up today...courtesy of the 24 hours of non-stop pissing rain that still continues as I write this post.

It was either get creative or another Law & Order marathon...I think I chose wisely. Hope you do too....now where did I park that ark?!!
