Wide

This quick little doodle was done for the Illustration Friday topic "Wide"; looking at it now, however, I think that this would more appropriately fit the topic "Bizarre Genetic Experiments Involving Prominent Members of the Republican Party." Maybe it's just me, but this guy looks like a cross between Cheney, Bush, and McCain.

Monkeys

I started these for my wife a year or so ago, but things got busy and I didn't finish them until recently. I'm still not super happy with them, but they're cute. They are expressions that our daughter made as an infant portrayed by monkeys (since that is her nickname).

Be Mine...OR ELSE!

It was back around Valentine's day when I did a doodle of this guy. I thought, "He may look mean, but I'll bet he's a tender guy underneath those spikes." So I gave him a lacy little valentine to hold to show that he is just sensitive and misunderstood.

You're Everything That A Big Bad Wolf Could Want

Here is another "Little Red Riding Hood" character design. Definitely inspired by the Sam the Sham song. Here the wolf is a "lone wolf" who stops in at the local greasy spoon "Grandma's Place" and meets the cute waitress "Lil' Red." Originally I had him giving her a toothy grin complete with subtle wolf-man fangs, but the closed mouth smile seemed more his style.

Batman Color Key

Here's a color key I did from a Batman storyboard panel I drew as an assignment. I wanted to push some odd colors into the sky to intensify the moment. It was fun to push around acrylics again.

More Sidewalk Chalk

Here's another sidewalk doodle.
