HARRYhead - NACHOvROJO

Here's a bigger version of the Nacho Libre harry-head done for aintitcool a couple months back:



And, no, I don't speak spanish.
(I say this as though it isn't obvious.)

IF-match

This foldem is for Illustration Friday. The topic is "MATCH"

More Sketchbook Stuff

THUMBO

Just a doodle that went too far while I was procrastinating.

Cartuna Rises!

Hey there,

My apologies to anybody who checks this blog with any regularity for going on hiatus with such an... unsavory image left at the top of the page.

I've hit a busy time, and can't make any promises about frequency of posting, but I'll try to do my best to avoid such long intervals in the future.

ANYWAY, one of the major things contributing to my busy-ness is that I have been re-welcomed into the fold at Ain't-It-Cool-News. As a result, I'll be once again contributing animation to the corner of the masthead.

Huzzah! More Harry-Heads!

In my halcyon days of youth, under the pen-name of "Cartuna" and working in close collaboration with Mr. Knowles (as he insists I call him (something to do with keeping lackeys in their proper place)) I was producing super-short animated cartoons for AICN on an almost daily basis. It was some of the most fun I've had in my animation career. But alas, the starving artist bit can only go so far, and I was forced to get a 'real job.'

But now...
The time has come.
Cartuna must rise once more!



Be AFEARED!

The first new Harry Head is up on Ain't-It-Cool right now.
Go look.
Seriously, go.

Feeling Better, Now

I'd look like Death warmed over, if I could just manage to warm over...



For those of you fortunate enough to NOT encounter me over the past two weeks, as I fought my way through a series of horrific colds, fevers, sore/scratchy throats etc... here's a little glimpse at what you missed. Bleah.

KillBill Foldem Playset

All right, I've gone too long between postings, so here's an oldie.

I'm not all that happy with this one anymore, but people still seem to respond pretty well to it.

Anyway, hope somebody likes it.

(my apologies for the poorly-focused digi-photos.)

LATE! Illustration (last) Friday -- CATS

All right, sadly, I was too late for Illustration Friday's utterly unfair FRIDAY deadline. Next time, I'll have to try harder, I suppose.

Anyway, here's a new foldem. It's a cat.





For those to whom this is not, in and of itself, enough excitement... if you push down the head, you'll get a second expression for your troubles.

Like so:






Illustration Friday

Illustration Friday - E IS FOR...

Ernie, of course!

He probably taught a huge percentage of us the letter E, in the first place.




Illustration Friday

Just Something

Inspired by the cover to the album Rabbit Fur Coat.

More TTC folks

A couple more brushpen sketches from the TTC.



Many thanks to Bobby Chiu for the invitation to his Subway Sketch Group.

We narrowly missed meeting one another at the Junction Arts Festival last fall. (I did, however, pick up your fantastic Girl Sketches book, and talked to your friend for a few minutes) I'm going to do my best to catch a ride with you guys sometime in January.

I tend to save Sundays to spend with my little girl, so I don't usually have them to spare, but I would like the opportunity to meet you and your cronies, so I'll see if I can swing it.

TTC-Brushpen

More folks who transit when I do.

Daddy's Little Girl

From my sketchbook, a couple of quick drawings of my daughter Persephone asleep in her highchair (the suspender-looking things are the highchair straps).



Absent from these drawings:
all of the rice in which she had covered herself.
