Revelations

2011-04-27T20:20:00.000-07:00

A little drawing I did for my sisters class she is teaching about religion and stuff, here is the quote from Book of Revelations
"I saw one like the son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash across his chest. his head and hair were white as white wool, white as snow; his eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters. in his right hand he held seven stars, and from his mouth came a sharp, two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining with full force."

So I know I havent posted anything in a while, I've been working on some cartoons, which take a little longer, but in the meantime here are some napkin drawings to appease the masses. I hate to be topical but I've had an assfull of Michael Jackson talk, so I had to do at least one of him, and some ancient aliens.

I went to the beach

2009-01-25T19:03:00.000-08:00

Today I left my cave and went all the way across the street to the beach, the sun was high in the sky but the wind was a howling big time. I heard there was 290 mph winds, thank goodness I was able to hold down my sketchbook long enough to draw this little beach scene. I painted it with real paint (it looks better than the scan) when I got home. My crappy attempt at a landscape.

The Package

2009-01-20T10:17:00.001-08:00

Robot Uprising

2008-11-26T09:46:00.000-08:00

This is a video of me and my coworkers in Robot form doing a little daytime protesting against humans. You can see my robot costume is by far the worst, the aluminum foil I wrapped my lunch in, on my head. But I got to use the bull horn during the whole march from Titmouse to the CNN building and then on to some drinks at the pub. I love the animation industry.

25 cent

2008-10-27T22:28:00.000-07:00

Day one of M Farrar's new blog challenge, even though I destroyed her last time, I dont feel as confident this round. I have a feeling though that after Thursday my posts might not be there on time. But here is day one on time. The word was "25 cent". I think I may have seen too many ads about prop 8. Vote no, unless your a nazi.

Smoking Birds

2008-10-16T10:22:00.000-07:00
