Gurls Again!!??!

God I need a girlfriend (or not). Perhaps I should try using this blog as a means to dating. Because, as we all know, my audience on here is comprised mostly of the female gender.....BUWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I enjoy [short] romantic walks on the beach, cuddling by the fire place, oh, and SMASHING MY FOES TO PIECES, WITH BUT A THOUGHT!!!! If you look like any of the following pics, send your 5x7 pictures and profiles to "The Date A Tal Foundation"....

Started with a copy of a Presing original.


Obviously NOT, a Presing original, hahaha.


And I say this all the time and then never follow through, but I may color this one.

Talkuma!!!!

Unleashed my evil intent....Mmmm, smells like rotten coleslaw!!!

Klassic Korner 3 (I think)

Hey so it's been a while since my last installment of Klassic Korner.....And I just couldn't resist this gem from days past.

I watched "a classic" the other day and I immediately searched for a comic I had created for Forkan's "Cartooning" class, from about 5-6 years ago......Forkan obviously had nothing but praise for it, hahahahaha. Do note the amazingly realistic, Torgo vibrating action. Enjoy!






One word: BUWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Cows go mooooooooo....

Los Azules

Heeeeeeey, so Mexico was fun. The place we stayed at was insane! I'll try and post the pics as soon as I download 'em.

Anywho, I'm still a little behind on the posting, so here are some more sketches. I've started to gain some reference for my comic in terms of blues musicians. Been looking at some of my favorites to include within the pages of my masterpiece.

Johnny Winter


John Lee Hooker....By far the most difficult to draw out of the blues men I've chosen.


Willie Dixon heads....Weird because he seemed to have a different look in every image I've looked upon.


And this seems to be tradition, to have the oddest sketches at the end. It was supposed to be me originally but something went terribly, terribly wrong. Didn't really stop me from seeing it through though, haha. I may try and paint this one.

Muchas dibujos!

Oh man it's been a while since I've posted some sketches! Slightly behind here, so I'm just going to start posting a barrage of images. I have in my possession, even more, but those will have to wait until I GET BACK FROM MEXICO!! That's no joke.....Going for the weekend!

Some of the last sketches from my life drawing class. A couple of warm ups:



Girls!!! I noticed that since I've posted last, I've drawn quite a few.



Aaaaaand, your guess is as good as mine!


Los gatos estan en la biblioteca! That means: "have a great weekend everyone!"

Da HELL with THIS!

OK, so while Sal laughs hysterically from the title I'll discuss a certain trip I just took for the hell of it. I went to Mammoth Mountain with my older brother for the first time and I must say it was a lot more fun than I thought it'd be.

Went fishin', played some high altitude tennis (I was dying by the 3rd point). and just plain, relaxed for the most part. I also went snowboarding for the first time in my life and I honestly don't think I was that bad...I guess the whole "knowing how to surf" thing helped on that one. Still funny to watch it though:

Benny Hill really does make everything funnier


And some pics:



My facial expression suggests that my older brother had just insulted me.


It's about 95 degrees here in this pic........Yeah.


Just an excuse to get an ass shot in there.

12 Bars Teaser!

Alright, finally have something for you guys more exciting than my inability to draw from life. For those who don't know, I've been working on a short comic over the last few months. It is part of an anthology hopefully due out by the end of the summer. And although we decided to keep much of the project to vagueness, I've created a teaser for my comic in this anthology.

As the post title suggests, my comic is called 12 Bars. And to be clear, the panels in this teaser are not final; they just reflect the panels as they currently appear in the blocking phase. Hopefully it makes sense....Enjoy!

Yes, that is me on the voice over....No, I'm not a large, southern, black man.

Becoming a Professional Nude....Drawer.....Uhhh, Guy.

More Life Drawing!!! It seems like I either work on my comic or draw naked people these days. Ahhhh, what a life.

This one was a first for me. We toned the paper ourselves using a combination of acrylic paint and gesso. I believe the technical art names of the paint I used were "Red" and "Green". Anyways it actually worked better than I expected. Nothing penetrates the paper so the medium can be moved around very easily, plus you can erase your ass off and never damage the paper. Like drawing on plastic. Cool effect too.


My teacher's exact words: "Oh, ok, lookin' good; nice detail on the boobagery. Uh-huh, good. Yeah, really nice work Ta.....Ahhh, what the fuck happened to her hand!!?! Jesus H. Christ, THERE IS NO GOD!!"

Sun Beaten and Left for Dead

Alrighty, I've just recovered from a sunstroke I endured since last Thursday!! Haven't really been drawing a whole lot, what with the inability of my body to control it's own core temperature and all. So before I was so casually raped by the sun, I decided to get some leg and feet sketches down. Legs and feet are just so weird to draw. Plus I finally scanned a long pose from my life drawing class...
