We named our children after towns, that we've never been to...

Alright so sketchy sketching has been back in business as of late. Right now just dumping them here for all to see. Saw the Simpsons movie this past week, it was alright. A lot of what the Simpsons has been for the past decade, kinda dry of humor but it had it's moments. So yeah I have been on a Phantom kick for a while now and it will be pretty apparent with this new entry, so... here it goes.

And two women that have just been residing in my head for the past day or so. Not real by any means( is that weird?). Just characters I will use on a later date.

You look like a daisy in my lazy Eye...

I have not posted in Forever! Mainly because I have been busy with work, tired, and not liking any of my sketches. Recently I have just been doing scribbles to see what would happen and nothing... Then I don't know how but I got the old mojo back. I think it started with me drawing myself.

And then i knew i got it back because i started drawing the Rocketeer and I was extremely happy with it.

And update on 100 Fables, Myths, and Legends. Painting 2 has started and it will be Icarus. It will be posted by the end of the week. With the stuff for Some Assembly Required. Mentioning that here are the paintings for the last two weeks if you don't wat to click the link...

Now Your Getting With It...

Had kind of a long day. Also for the day i think i may have thrown out the simple line rule for some of my sketches today. Wanted to let the pen loose on the paper. As for the sketch from days before of Midnight Rose and Green Soliloquy, I finished it and i don't think i killed the entire thing. I think it looks pretty cool. Here it is...

I have also noticed that for some reason the old superhero i used to love as a kid has flashed back into my mind. He is the ghost who walks, The Phantom. I used to watch the old cartoon about the phantom in the future and used to love the movie with Billy Zane as well. I think i may look for some books with the Artwork from The Phantom. Who knows how he popped back into my memory. But, He's there...

And another MiracleMan sketch that i was quite happy with...

Money For Nothing!

Thats what i need! So i haven't posted anything in few days... Sorry about that. Well here are some sketches that I have been working on. The first one is two of my characters called The Midnight Rose and The Green Soliloquy. Both superheroes but more masked crimefighters than anything else, these two characters i would like to say are inspired by the ideas of The Shadow and the Green Hornet, you know those kinds of characters. I have a story set up for them but i am always to busy to write and i'm also in the middle of writing something right now. Anyways, here is the sketch of Midnight Rose and The Green Soliloquy...


Next up is the newest sketch for the "Some Assembly Required Blog" The theme for this week is rock. First thing that popped into mind was the ever-loving blue eyed thing. This picture is kindly dedicated to a good friend of mine. Here you go Bryan! and whoever else is checking this out!

And for the records Happy Birthday Meghan Sbertoli!!!

Told You

Its a Damned Miracle

Alright here is the first pencil for the first topic at Some Assembly Required. I just have to do Mister Miracle for the New Gods topic. So i was trying to show him in a sticky situation and keep his cool. I like the escape artists from the real like Houdini to the fake like the Escapist. It shall be painted soon. Keep your eyes open.

She Has Freckles!!!

I just saw the movie Paprika. All i have to say is Brilliant!!! This will be a quick post. The movie inspired me a whole lot. The artistic style used and the way that dreams are incorporated into the storytelling. It was just insanely amazing. So it was awesome, blah blah.

I did two sketches i was happy with today. I think i am definitely getting a cleaner yet loose line style when sketching in pen so i am going to keep practicing with it. Heres a two page spread i did on the train after viewing the movie,

Strangely i found paprika attractive for a cartoon character, weird huh?

And after that something i threw together earlier today. It is of one of my favorite superheroes named Miracleman, so damn hard to find the graphic novels and when you find them they are expensive as hell.

Later this week you will be seeing two paintings coming. One is for the Some Assembly Required Blog. The other is for 100 MFL's named Icarus. I'll try and go in depth on the process but i really just need to do them first.
