A whole new year, with a whole new list of resolutions to forget about...<br />
Figured I'd start a week early on my list. <br />
So, here I am back on the blog train! Picked up a new "toy" recently that I've long wanted. And, finally, after all these years I finally picked me up one of 'em fancy Wacom tablets. It's dreamy!<br />
Here are a couple of sketches I did, moments after powering it up for the first time.<br />
First up, are the ninja turtles. Man, I love these guys. Waaaay before all the "cowabungas", pizza, and a ninja April O'Neil. <br />
Eastman and Laird's comic are on the list of big influences in my childhood days of wanting to be a comic book artist. I remember the day my mom helped me order the big compilation book of all the early issues. I must have read over that book for weeks. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CT2zZbeOq68/Tv2ITPO5C5I/AAAAAAAAArg/Xxvbbqo-krw/s1600/turtle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CT2zZbeOq68/Tv2ITPO5C5I/AAAAAAAAArg/Xxvbbqo-krw/s320/turtle.jpg" width="256" /></a></div>Felt good to sketch 'em up again...<br />
<br />
Next up, are a few drawings I did with the original True Grit movie playing in the background.<br />
John Wayne's just a badass. Damn good storyline, too. I'm a fan of both versions...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ztvYy5--6JI/Tv2JG__10FI/AAAAAAAAArs/0cK9K2F-BPQ/s1600/truegrit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ztvYy5--6JI/Tv2JG__10FI/AAAAAAAAArs/0cK9K2F-BPQ/s320/truegrit.jpg" width="256" /></a></div>plastic bandidohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05852774982017251878noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4621750568328497038.post-15947019760839839512011-10-20T22:52:00.000-07:002011-10-20T23:35:26.185-07:00Muppett Rawk 3: The carving!Muppett Rawk 3 sure came up fast. I decided to try something a little different. I chose the album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. I thought about going to painted route, but then I thought, why not replicate the school desk and actually carve on it? Something different that I've never done before; Wood carving.<br />
<div>There aren't a lot of female muppets on the roster to choose from... Miss Piggy, Janice, Camilla the chicken and maybe a couple of more obscure muppets. Then, I remembered a muppet who was created for the new generation of kids: Abby Cadabby. She was a the best choice for the cover, especially with the fact that she goes to a fairy school kind of tied in with the album title. </div><div>So, I picked up a 4 dollar piece of a broken shelf at Ikea. And, with the help of my buddy, Tate and his plethora of power tools, he helped me cut the shelf to the shape of a school desk. I asked if he could add the pencil holder, too!<br />
The one thing that made me nervous the most, was the fact that this was my only canvas. If I screwed up, well... it wouldn't have been good.<br />
So, this took a little more planning. I sketched out Abby, the album title, took a sheet of Saral transfer paper and retraced everything onto the wood. First, Abby. I decided to save all the lettering for last. I figured I'd have learned a little more control and accuracy carving lines...<br />
Each night for the next few days, I spent a couple of hours using my 10 dollar wood carving set to nick away at the pine. Each time, building more confidence at this new craft. There were a few times where more wood was picked off that I had wanted. But, hey... "there is no accident", right?<br />
Eventually, it got to the point where I was ready to stain it. Back to Home Depot I went, and picked up a can of antique red, a brush, and a piece of tarp to work on. <br />
I'd also forgotten to add something to the back to help, not only hang it on the wall, but in a way that left some space in between and give it a shadow. The strongest wood glue was also acquired. The one thing I failed to notice was the 24hr drying time it recommended.<br />
Did I mention that this part happened on the evening before the show?<br />
A slight panic attack occurred while I searched my place for a piece of wood I could use for my last minute plan. Luckily, I had some leftover 5x5 wood "canvas". With the help of a lot of tape, a ruler and a somewhat accurate measurement to center the piece of wood, I added on my backing. A lot of glue was used. And, tape, to help hold it in place. A lot of tape was used.<br />
Nap time. I think I passed out for a few hours.<br />
The next morning, I still didn't want to take a chance at staining the piece. The wood I glued on seemed to hold steady. <br />
Did I mention that this part happened on the day of the show?<br />
It wasn't until I got to the gallery to begin the staining process. I had the sun on my side to help speed the drying time. <br />
Within a half an hour, stain had been applied and dried. A couple of hours to spare. Whew.<br />
<br />
It was about this time, I had forgotten to pick up a pencil for the pencil holder. Sigh.<br />
<br />
Anyways, here are some pics of the progression! Enjoy!<br />

<br />
Man, it's been a while. In a blink of an eye, months fly past. Fast, like a hungry cat hearing the first turn of a can opener.<br />
But, getting back to it... Coining the phrase, "like riding a bike". Babysteps. <br />
So, here are some warm up portraits. No one in particular... just random faces that I see in my head. I mean, why not? I hear their voices... O____o<br />

Another warm up moment.The image of this particular person had been stuck in my mind for some time. It came back to me this morning when i was thinking up an image to paint up.<br />
I saw him a while back during a trip to Vancouver, BC. The first time I saw him was at a bus stop. He was this big, intimidating fellow who donned a black trench coat, with a huge wound on his head above his eye. I could only guess that he was in some sort of skirmish.<br />
The following morning, I spotted him again. Although, this time, he had an guitar with him. He sat down on a chair off to the side and out of the way of everyone walking. The music he was playing was brilliant. Surprised the hell out of me for sure. He played a range of blues to rock, not even looking up to the people passing. This mysterious musician lost in his own musical world.<br />
<br />
I walked by an hour or so later and he was standing off to the side, having a smoke. He'd let another person pick up his guitar and play while he took a break. But, the new guy strummed something less dynamic. In fact, I remember it to be a bad rendition of Jimi Hendrix...<br />

I'll be participating in a group show sometime in March. Might be the same weekend as the comic convention. <br />
Basically, it's a custom coffin show. <br />
I've a vague idea of what I want to do. On top of everything else going on, I just hope I can get it done on time.<br />
I guess this is where having insomnia becomes a good thing, no? hahahayeah.<br />
The funny thing is I don't want to do anything death related... too cliche'. <br />
Hopefully, something clever will come to mind. So, stay tuned.<br />

</div>Warm up for the day. Saw this kid while waiting for light to turn. When I first spotted him, he was jumping around and kicking about. He must have realized that people were watching because he suddenly stood still.<br />

More to come... it's going to be a busy weekend of getting more<br />
art done for the convention.<br />
<br />
...hopefully.<br />
<br />
These are just a few morning warm up sketches. <br />

The one I started a couple of months ago. I didn't like the direction it was heading. Then, between doing the past digital paintings, staring at the canvas and doing some more digitals...<br />
<br />
I finally found a groove and started painting over the previous version.<br />
I hope I don't screw this version up now. Still some layers to throw down, but at least I'm happy with this direction.<br />
I'm loving these water based oils. As weird as it sounds, these oils are really making it fun to paint.<br />
<br />
Anyways... here it is so far. First pic: Redid the hair Second pic: Face... some more to go. <br />
Part of me wants to get some sleep... the other wants to see how it comes out in the end.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ugh. I should probably get some sleep. In a couple of hours...<br />
