A Little Off Course

Sometimes these things go exactly as planned, and sometimes they… well… yikes…

Milk Duds

Sometimes I get a job and I have absolutely no idea what it is for or how it is to be used. This was one like they. My art direction called for two cartoony cows taking bows, one in a tux and top hat and the other in a tutu and please, no personal parts showing. I’m still not sure in what context  this is to be used, but it did remind me of one of my favorite cow jokes…

What do you call a couple of bad dairy cows? Milk Duds…

Happy Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day can get kinda weird around our house and it was no exception this year with the appearance of this little knucklehead…

New Testament Scottish Shepherd

Was it my intention to draw a New Testament Scottish Shepherd? Well… no… but all I would need to add to this guy’s skirt are a few horizontal lines and he would be sporting one mighty fine looking plaid kilt…

Holy Cow!

This is a sketch I did a year or so ago that I always meant to go back and finish. That hasn’t happened yet, but maybe someday…

Here’s To Yew

…just throwing up a different picture to let everyone know I’m still alive…

The Weaselopolis Juggernaut Tribune

A high school kid was looking through my sketchbook the other day, got to the last page of it, looked up at me and said, “man, there’s some pretty, uhm… weird stuff in there”, and I said, “yup, kinda scary isn’t it?”

I cannot sit and do art for eight solid hours, so I take occasional breaks during the day and play an online game called Ikariam. Ikariam is a Risk game on steroids. Based on ancient Greece, you build your own little civilization, pillage other peoples stuff, and work with others to keep from getting pillaged. I have met people from all over the world playing this game.

Over the course of this last year, Ikariam has inspired a lot of the artwork that I’ve posted on my blog. I’m in the process of taking that art and turning it into a daily paper for the folks I play the game with. I’m creating a mythology of my pretend city on…

The Weaselopolis Juggernaut Tribune.

…uhm, yep, kinda weird, right? Hey, I say the weirder the better! You might enjoy following along and seeing how I “repurpose” a bunch of last years blog art into this brand new… uhm… blog newspaper thing…

Creatives can find inspiration in some odd places.

A Tutorial For Jeff

My buddy Jeff just got a Wacom Tablet and asked me for a few pointers on digital painting. Jeff was my youngest sons hockey coach when we lived in Texas, and fearing a vicious cross check from him if I didn’t comply, here is a little tutorial…

…well, it’s not so much a tutorial as it is me rambling on and on, trying to string several words together in hopes they will somehow form complete sentences.

My Sunday Sermon Notes 03/28/10

Contrary to popular belief, I do diligently take notes during Sunday sermons as you can see here…

Goofy Joke Pictures

My favorite kind of  job is drawing a goofy picture for a goofy children’s joke. What did the rooster say when he got into the very hot shower?

HOT-a-doodle-DOO!

Life Is Tough

There’s an old John Wayne movie called Sands Of Iwo Jima where Sgt. Stryker says, ”…life is tough, but it’s tougher if you’re stupid”. I kinda like that…

Periodic Table

There must be nothing more exciting than to discover yourself in the Periodic Table Of Elephants

Giant Slayer

Tough Old Cowboy

A tough old cowboy told his grandson that if he wanted to live a long life, the secret was to sprinkle a pinch of gun powder on his oatmeal every morning.

The grandson did this religiously to the age of 103. When he died, he left 14 children, 30 grand-children, 45 great-grandchildren, 25 great-great grandchildren, and a 15 foot hole where the crematorium used to be.

Rohan Pulling Guard

Grimwood of Rohan had studied all the Saruman game film and was ready for Super Bowl Sunday…
