Llamas

Right over here kids. My Secret Life as a Cartoon





llamas only have bottom teeth. One of these guys had buck teeth, but they were bucking from below.

New junk and stuff

Cartoons

Ok time for cartoons. These are sketches and ideas from a cartoon I've been working on with Anne in my spare time . Which I've had none of lately.





A surly ol' hobo has a big part in this story. Here are a few ideas. Non of these made the cut...so far.

And a bright eyed, confused young girl in which our main characters can corrupt.



Here are a few of the actual frames. So you know the whole thing doesn't look like it was drawn on the back of a napkin.

Big Fat Zoo Post

I read a quote one time from Craig Mc Cracken (powerpuff girls creator) where he said "I'd rather see a bunch of funny cartoons in a portfolio than pretty elephants." . I apologize to him in advance.
These sketches are from a couple zoo trips over the last couple months with Wattana, Manny and zoo Ryan.


If you cross a giraffe and a zebra you get this guy, the okapi.



These guys were fun to watch but hard to draw. A lot of little monkeys running very fast, jumping, and playing with each other. Most of these sketches were done very fast when they would stop for food or rest. The drawings I have of them playing are unrecognizable, just scribbles.









When I approached the baboons I thought I'd be drawing some surly angry red booty beast.



But after watching and drawing this guy (actually a girl) for a while she seemed a bit neurotic. Her poses were very skitish and she had a funny cough.


I promise to post some real cartoons soon so Craig McCraken doesn't cry.

C4!

I went to "C4", the cartoon and caricature convention here in San Diego this past week. It was a ton of fun, and I predict it will just get bigger and bigger every year. I was going to get pictures of everyone next to their drawings but my camera ran out of room. There was so many cool drawings I had to get pictures but my camera ran out of memory. I apologize for these horrible photos.

Here's a drawing of me by Beau. You can hear the wind blowing when you look at it. There's a cool caricature of me and other people at the con over at Jerts blog.

more comics

The planets are aligning once again so you know what that means. Yes, a new web comic! Come check it out over at My Secret life as a Cartoon. If you're new to the blog start from the very first comic here.
It starts in March of 2006 and as of now goes to may 2006 (inspired by true events). I'm a lil behind...

The club house

The other day I hung out with my old friend, Angela. We were neighbors when I was about 4 and 5 years old and she was 6 and 7. We were remembering the good ol' days. When our moms would turn us loose to the world and wouldn't bother with us till dinner.
This drawing represents one of our finest memories of that time. It was our club house. It was an area behind the apartments we lived in where people would throw away all their junk. So we had ant covered furniture and old food cans, all the things a kid would need to pretend they had their own house. And in the corner is a hole in the fence where Angela's shoe slipped through and fell 2 stories down and we spent all day yelling down at passerbys to throw the shoe back up, but I don't think anyone ever did.
We were such sophisticates.

To that guy in Target

To that guy in Target, who stands in front of the new dvds. Covering up the entire area while you read the back of one dvd : MOVE!



thank you.

The local Coffee Bean

It's been a while since I've sketched for kicks. Its late so I'll keep it at that and give you the goods.
