Sketchbook Page

This is what my sketchbooks tend to look like- I'm not one of those people who can do a nice tidy sketch per page; they tend to be covered with bizzare loosely related doodles instead.

A crone and her cat

Random old sketchbook doodle.

the pirate alphabet starts with AAAAARRRR

According to the internet, today is international Talk Like A Pirate Day, and who am I to argue with the internet?

A couple years back, my friend Jess threw a surprise pirate themed birthday party for her then boyfriend; I designed the cake & it still makes me laugh when I look at it.

Pigster Pie

I'm having fun with this little guy.

The Pigster and Produce.

Fall is apple season, after all.

Puss In Boots

A sloppy doodle of puss in boots; I've been rereading Angela Carter's short stories and her take on puss is particularly fun.

The Pigster

I think he likes jazz and farmers markets.

Hey Hovering Sombrero

I tried to do a little watercolour painting inspired by the They Might Be Giants' 'Hovering Sombrero' song (hey hovering sombrero/gently waving in the air above the meadow/softly floating in the sky outside the window/hovering sombrero don't be shy) but it didn't quite turn out the way I wanted. Oh well. So in addition, here's a kid in a sombrero pointing at nothing in particular- I like his dog.

COOOOLD

Its chilly already; I'm not a fan.

Robot of love

Bearded Lady

Sunburn

I never learn.

Neko Neko

Cupcake hat!

I've been looking at ridiculous hats on etsy; this doesn't bode well for my dignity this winter.

SOOKIEH IS MAHN

A few weeks back, me & lene attempted to watch a bit of True Blood, a vampire show that has tons and tons of very vociferous fans- and it was terrible, and this coming from two people who un-ironicaly enjoy some pretty horrible television! This is a quick photoshop doodle of Bill, the main character Sookie's vampire boyfriend who seems to spend most of his time brooding and saying her name in a very funny accent. I think lene's post it doodle better captures his piece-of-toast-shaped face, tho.

Speed Demon

I'm still working on the driving thing.

Elephant in the room

Sorry kids, better post tomorrow :D

Calavera

Silly photo shop doodle inspired by Jose Posada's etching of calavera de la catrina

ROAR

Been on a bit of a rampage today; my apologies if I've stomped on your city :D

King Einrich the Unwilling

I briefly met the lovely young men who do Baritarian Boy (a comic about the history and culture of a fictional eastern european nation) at mocca, so when they ran a fanart contest I decided to toss something off last minute to send in, and lo and behold, I won The Bronze Frolicking Chinchilla for hilarity :D
This is King Einrich the Unwilling, here depicted with the loaf of bread used to lure him, begrudingly, to his coronation. Check out the other entries, there's some fun stuff.
