"These kids are such a disgrace. I need an older crowd"


Messing around with a sticker. Ballpoint pen and apathy.










I dunno. Figured this blog could use a random picture.











I hate how Finn's legs turned out in this. I kinda pulled that classic trick that Liefield and other artists did, where you obscure the feet or whole portions of a character to compensate for a lack of the ability to render them...I like how Slime Princess came out. Just sayin'.

"The concept of absurdity is something I'm attracted to." - David Lynch

Here's a Trikky I did with sharpie. I actually did this to drum up interest among my students for a future art unit using Munny dolls. They dug the little guy.


Ballpoint pen. Done at work. Heard that phrase in a Love and Rockets comic, and it stuck.


Two of my Munny dolls in progress. At work. Honestly, this is why I hate being an instructional aide. They need to give me an actual class to run.


Here's my Bub after being sprayed with a coat of clear acrylic. Protip: out of newspapers? Use outdated resumes!


Finished product. I call him "Archibald P. Maulington". He's a well-to-do grizzly about town.


This is the ultra-rare "missing hat" variant. Worth way too much on the collector's market.


I recently bought a Marvel Legends figure of Man-Thing. I think posing him has become my new pass-time. Look! He's already made a friend.


"Jazz hands!" Oh, Man-Thing, you're the living end.


I take it back. Man-Thing's kind of a jerk.


"You see this guy? Freakin' love this guy."


I've wanted to mention my vinyl pieces for a while now. In an attempt to buy my affection, the girlfriend gifted unto me this beautiful piece of urban vinyl. Knucklebear's 18 inches tall, limited to under 500 copies, and came with a certificate of authenticity and a print. This thing is purty (like a girl).


D'aww. He takes after me.


Another vinyl piece. Not a HUGE fan of Qee stuff, but I'll be damned if Frank Kozik isn't the bee's knees. I got a good deal on him, but not good enough to admit it's price to my family and significant other.

"A bunch of random sketches, send 'em to tha moon!"


Bee. Eff. Eff.

This sketch should stimulatate your mind and baby chute.
Done for my 8 year old pupil. He loves Marvel comics, and works hard. So...yeah.


Rough sketch for a painting. No idea why Blogger turned it on its side.


One more rough sketch for a painting.

You better do what he says. He looks really mad.

BIGGER THAN BIG, JOLLIER THAN JOLLY

This is what happens when you find a brush pen in your pocket while at work.

Super robots blend in perfectly with an educational setting.

Did this over the course of the day at work. I'm kinda proud of myself for sneaking this much in during the moments when I wasn't breaking up fights or making copies.

Lookit this guy. He's about to start something.

A hideously deformed post of superhuman size and strength!

Step the first: Sculpey was used to give Toxie his lumpy visage. I actually baked it twice, because I went back and added small bumps. See how that one over his left eye kinda looks like a boob?

Step B: The initial paint job didn't come out well. The green was way too green. He ended up looking like The Hulk if he were in a grease fire. I still had a lot of work to do.

3rd step: I decided to toy with the idea of watering down a mix of brown, yellow, and white acrylic to coat Toxie's skin. This picture shows him after about two coats and some time under a hair dryer. Still a bit too green...


Step IV: After getting his skin to make the color of the water you find at the bottom of a trash can, I set about painting the details. Black lines were used to make the lumps "pop" a bit more. I also gave Toxie his trademark tutu and mop.

My buddy Renzo works for Troma films, and was nice enough to pass my munny onto Lloyd Kaufman. He even took a picture of him holding the little guy. Sadly, as I refuse to do anything with even a shred of expedience, I have lost that picture. I emailed it to myself from my phone MONTHS ago...and it was erased along with a clump of spam. FFFFFFF....
