Blog Change

I am in the process of revamping porpitude.com and part of that includes a blog hosted there. I will be using that blog for my personal and professional work as well as "Gag of the Week" posts. This blog will become an informational blog geared towards tutorials, reviews, critiques, etc. I encourage you all to check out the new porpitude.com and blog there, but feel free to continue to follow this one if you are interested in the processes and techniques of illustration and visual development work.

Thanks for all your support and comments!

Poor Swamp Thing

It's not easy being green.

Sometimes I have strange ideas pop into my head that I just have to draw...this was one of them.

Convenience

Wicked Witches of the Old West

My new goal is to post a gag drawing every week. Here is the first in the series. Hope you all enjoy!

My Job

Audrey's preschool teacher asked us to fill out a questionnaire about what we do for a living and to include a photo or drawing of us doing it. I thought, since I draw for a living, it was only appropriate that I draw myself drawing...myself.

Chicken

This is an oldie but a goody. It fit well with Illustration Friday's theme this week, so I thought I'd toss it up here.

Merry Christmas!

Meet Carl

I was working on our Christmas card this year and had some leftover paint that I didn't want to go to waste, thus Carl was born. Carl is serving a life sentence in a maximum security prison for aggravated leering.

Here is the Color Key I worked up from the thumbnails. I still haven't added the Viking houses (they will be in the center).

Sven Color Studies

I've been working on the color script for Sven lately. Here are so thumbnail color studies.

Fab Jack-O-Lantern

I'm not into conventional Jack-O-Lanterns, so this year's pumpkin carving was of my favorite band in a memorable pose.
