Employees

Over spring break I drew caricatures at Sea World and drew some employees on my lunch break. These are a few I cleaned up and colored. I believe SW is hiring all positions for summer, so you too can join the ranks of these characters.

In Space!!

For about 6 months Beau Hufford and I got together to develop "In Space". A story that we would later turn into a comic and eventually a few comics. It takes place in space and follows the adventures of Professor Soanso (so n' so) , Cadet and their cat Pico. They travel the universe and research everything in it while hosting a science show that is broadcast on Earth.

We both had a hand in the designs. I filled up about 2 sketch books worth of stuff while we developed this. These are just a few quick sketches of each characters evolution.




Professor went through a few changes but never too far from these pics.
Cadet started out being a lil chunky kid.


but eventually got closer to this. Cadet: The boy from space!!
Pico is the camera man/ sound guy for the show.
This pico is more like the final design.

Governor Splitzer

I came home today to see the Governor of New York was in big trouble. Having been involved in (cover your ears kids) a prostitution ring. When I saw him on the news he looked oddly familiar to me. I realized that I drew him out of a Rolling Stone in April 2006 and put it up on this blog. And because this blog is THE blog on the net for current events here he is again.

Mink and Roob

I've been busy with a few different projects the last couple months, so I haven't had time to do fun blog drawings. So here's a couple of pages from the comic I finished. You may have this book if you went to cripple con and were a non-cheapskate.

Here are what the roughs look like.


I'll post some more on other projects soon.

Cripple Con

I attended the "cripple con" this past week. A convention celebrating all art forms. Mostly caricatures, cartoons etc.


It was held outside Kansas City at The Elms Resort. They manged to put up with 75 loud, routy and sometimes very drunk cartoonists for 3 days. This is the town above and the hotel pool and spa area below. I did not go swimming as there was no life guard on duty.

Here are a few of my drawings, with no pictures of the actual faces so you can't tell how much I suck.
Kev and Pat above. They are from Texas but are moving out to SD next month. So watch your backs you Sea World kamans people.
This is Ben above who was good enough to help get me and a few others a ride from the airport. Saved everyone a lot of money.
Kelsea (probably spelled wrong) another Texan. A bright eyed young girl with dreams of killing.
Who also made sure me and some others got back TO the airport. Thanks!!
and Matt Zitman
This is the ballroom just getting started with con heads Len and Barb Hernandez in the foreground and Beau Hufford in the background.
Not long till everyone was there having fun and jumping to the music of que padre.
The hotel is supposedly haunted and a whole lot of "orbs" showed up in all the dancing pics.

Some random post

"Yep that's right, There's a new comic over at that other blog" "whoa jeeze"
"My god a new comic? How fascinating."
"Hmmm, I stopped reading that dumb comic. That guy never posts anymore.
"Yeah, I hate that guy. Who does he think he is?"
"Well I like that comic and I'm going to go read it. Dum dee doo..."

San Diego is on fire!......again

It's the four year anniversary from the big cedar fire here in San Diego. What better way to celebrate than with another fire!
This is the street on the side of my house. Just beyond the house at the end of the road is a canyon filled with smoke.
I drove down the road to a park that is perched over looking the same canyon with a 180 degree view. (view below is not 180)
If you're familiar with black mountain/ Rancho Penisquitos this is looking down on that area (above). Just to the right would be Black Mountain but it was not visible with all the smoke.
The houses above are down the street from me and along the same canyon.

I don't know how these kids were playing baseball. It was getting hard to breath just walking around taking these pictures. Also the camera didn't pick this up but there was ash falling from the sky like a light snow fall (I assume).

Comic Con: The tale of a late post

So comic-con was 2 months ago, and since I am always on the cutting edge I thought I'd share some of these drawings I did while there.
One of these people above paid to be at comic con and the other one is being paid to be at comic con. Guess which is which.

Elite security was in top form this year. Giving me the wrong information about everything from which lines to stand in to what door not to enter. I think a lot of those "elite" guys are old high school jocks who want to bark at nerds.

Go check out Anne Bush's blog to see the new Mink and Roob title card. Something is coming soon on that.

This is just a doodle I did the other day. This blog needed some color. What are they looking at? Find out in a couple of weeks.
