Crowded Sketch

By in men, sketches, women

Lots of scribbly drawing with the roller pen, while watching the American election results on BBC via internet. And with mild dismay, but that’s what happens. Is America going down the tubes? We’ll see.

Getting Out of Here.

By in men, sketches, watercolour, women

But not before I post some new junk, sort of comic related. First, a Daisy Mae: She sorts of fits into my trying to do “good girl” art, related to that burlesque project, which has kind of gone on hold for the moment. Then there’s this item I drew on a Twitter challenge. Unfortunately, I […]

De-Zombifying

By in men, paintings, watercolour, women

One last zombie-related picture, painted on Hallowe’en night, appropriately enough. A tribute to Remy, the mohawked guy in the picture, whose gory stage makeups inspired me in this project in making regular people scary. It was quite an experience, exploring one’s morbid side. Also freedom in making pleasant faces look as disgusting as possible. A […]

October Montreal Comic Jam

By in men, montreal, sketches, watercolour

Something special for this month’s comic jam. Pierre Landry from CBC Radio came and interviewed us about the comic jam. Maybe this is a result of the press attention we got in the Gazette a couple of weeks ago. Here are some snaps from the Jam, including the interview: And you can listen to the […]

Fire Horse/Dog/Rhino Thing

By in men, sketches, watercolour, women

When you’re wandering in dark places, always good to bring your fire-horse/dog/rhino pet. I suppose it’s an escaped Pokemon. This drawing below was on the back of the paper. I’m very cheap and don’t like wasting paper. Also, the question came up last night of where to store all these things. I don’t think they’re […]

Colonial Guy

By in men, watercolour

Busy, and kind of worn out today, but I had time to paint this colonial guy.

Graveyard Fun

By in men, sketches, watercolour, women

Graveyards are pleasant places to sit and think. Look over the names, even paint watercolours. Wait … WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??!!! Here’s a watercolour painter and comic artist who’s been an influence on me, lately, explaining her technique, in a graveyard. [link]

Still More Zombies…

By in cats, dogs, sketches, watercolour

…And evil cats! Devil Dog… Here’s smiling business guy: Anyhow, I’m offering you, in internet land, to have your own portrait, facebook photo, or twitter avatar, turned into your favourite monster, for hallowe’en, or indeed any time of year. Building the page right now where this would be possible. In the meantime, visit this page […]

More Zombies

By in men, sketches, watercolour, women

But they’re vegetarian Zombies, I tell you. I had the brainstorm, a little too close to Hallowe’en of offering to zombify, vamp or monsterize people’s twitter icons for that frightening evening. So, I’m drawing tons of zombies. Want to set up a web page where I can sell these, and other art things, but haven’t […]

A Short, Non-Zombie Break

By in sketches, women

Just to give you a breather amidst all the un-death, here’s a sketch of a Rhinemaiden from The Ring of the Nibelungen. There are three of them in the opera, Woglinde, Wellgunde, and Flosshilde. I guess this is Flosshilde. “Rhinegold” was also the name of an American beer it looks like they might be selling […]

More Zombies

By in sketches, watercolour

Okay, I’m getting there. Excuse the weirdness! I’m noticing that the blank eyes seem to help in doing a zombie, but I don’t want to rely on that all the time. Also little flecks of blood. It’s raining cats and dogs outside, and seems to have done so all day, keeping me from errands I […]

Trying to do Zombies

By in men, sketches, watercolour, women

That’s my thing at the moment. This is a link to some of my research material. One of those brilliant ideas I hope works, though I wish I had it earlier. We’ll see how it goes. Tough doing creepy monstrous stuff when you’re mainly used to cute and quirky. But always good to expand one’s […]

Girl and the Gorilla

By in watercolour, women

Which is which? He’s maybe a missing link, or Dr. Zaius’ cousin. Beauty and the Beast? Just a quick morning sketch.

A Hard Life

By in men, watercolour

Painted this guy in the book. Then cut out the pic and stretched the paper. So, it’s a little more easy to scan, etc.
