The Challenge

So as I was sketching out some creative faces, I was asked why I only draw scary ugly people.  Well the answer is simply that its just plain fun!  The teeth, the wrinkles, the exagerated features…  Then I was issued a challenge.  To draw a beautiful person.  In my next post I will do just that, fair skin, long hair, straight teeth, the works.  Stay tuned for the unveiling of my masterpiece!

I just adore ugly wrinkly animals.  This pig was inspired by a mix of  the Dreaded Deadline Demon drawn by Tom Richmond and a Pigasus drawn by Will Terrell.  Happy Friday everyone!

So every artist knows what it feels like to be left out of the loop when it comes to collaborating.  Our genius ideas are never understood but thats okay, we’ll just start our own genius project and use our own genius idea and be super successfull and that’ll show them!  In a way, they’re doing us a favor by letting us keep our super fantastic mega ideas for our own glory!!!  Enjoy!

I’ve been facinated with aliens lately so I did a progressive series of sketches featuring these little guys.

I found this ugly beast in a recent sketchbook and decided to put him on display.  Some time ago I was asked to draw a rabbit-fish.  This is what was spawned in my lab that fateful night…

Well, it’s a new year and many of us have made the same old resolution to get in shape.  Well, my advice is to take it slow and proceed with caution to avoid looking like overzealous fellow.  Hope everyone had a fun and safe Holiday!
