Illustration Friday : Electricity

Hey Everybody!

This week's Illo topic stump'd me at first! My creative juices were bone dry....no images popped into my head at all. It took a while... BAH! I almost attempted to do a take on the 'lightning' guy from Big Trouble in Little China, but ended up doing this stumpydude getting zapped in an electric chair.

Here ya go! Krispy Kitty.

Illustration Friday : Seed


"This Starseed is No Good."

Skeletor was duped! Poor little guy is left holdin' a fake. HA!

A couple months ago, I tried to paint a similar piece for the Saturday Morning Cartoons show on this funky little wooden plaque, but it turned out way too dark and just plain poorly executed. Booo. What a waste of a nice piece of wood. I've been wanting to re-do the piece for some time, so happily, this week's Illo topic game me a boost - I decided to do it up digitally this time around... still dark, but hopefully not as crappy(?)

Hey... don't you think the voice of The Monarch from the Venture Bros. sounds vaguely like Skeletor? Is it just me?

Illustration Friday : Wrinkles

Hey Everybody!

I've been neglecting my blog (what's new), but a miracle happened and I actually did this week's Illo topic! Wrinkles! I have this sick facination with plastic surgery so I wanted to something along those lines. Ahhh, Botox! I originally started working on a generic wrinkled face, but it somehow morphed into Ben Grimm, The Thing. Okay, I know, he's not wrinkled, he's rock - which Dev gave me crap about. So, I made a new one, YODA! All plumped and juiced up.

Here ya go.



A couple folks asked to see the Ben Grimm version...
here he is! Yeah, it doesn't fit 'wrinkles' more like 'cracks' heh.

STUMPYFRIENDS!

Hey Everybody!

A BIG THANKS to everyone who was able to make it out to the OUCH MY EYE, Saturday Mornings group artshow last weekend! It was a really good turnout and man, there were a lot of cool pieces. If you can make it out, the show will be up for another week, from 7-9pm on weekdays only.

Lawrence took a bunch of pics from the show! Check them out HERE.

Here is my take on the SuperFriends! A few of you have asked... "Who the hell is that dude on the end at the far right?" That is Marvin - the SuperFriends era just prior to the addition of the Wonder Twins. I tried to make prints of this, but because it is a dimensional piece, it was a bit tricky, and ended up looking like crap. I'm going to try and find another means to get this going, so at some point, I will have some prints available at my Etsyshop. Cheers!

Saturday Morning Cartoons, Pt 2

Hey Everybody!
Apologies. I've been so very neglectful with Stumpytown & my blog these days. My attention has been completely focused on our 'baby' this past year. Ooooof! Clarification folks... 'Baby' as in LC. NO REAL BABY HERE. HA.

But, stayin' on target here...
We are participating in a group gallery show this Saturday called:
SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS (pt2)
20 artists' interpretations of their favorite cartoons of the 70's and 80's!
OUCH MY EYE GALLERY
1022 First Ave S
Opening night March1, 8pm

Hope to see you there!

...here they are...

My Homage to Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon for the Good vs. Evil show @ BLVD. I decided not to sell these pieces because for some silly reason, I grew attached to them - I think mostly because it has been months since I've painted, so it was hard to let them go. Sadly, I was pulled from the show and not allowed to hang because of that. Understandable. So, I guess I can show them here:

The Good Guys
Roper, LEE, Williams


The Bad Guys
Bolo, Mr. Han, Ohara
these pieces are around 15" x 6"
Cel paint and gouache on wood, cut out pieces are basswood.
