WHAT TIME IS IT..... sketches!

I've been working on some prop tests and storyboards from the new show Adventure Time, and I'm really enjoying the style.  these sketches below are just rough ideas for character designs and prop designs, and other assorted doodles that came out after drawing all day.  They're just fun, and I hope you all tune into Cartoon network to watch the show on April 5th at 8pm.  I've seen what these guys do here, and I am positive the first season of A.T. will blow your minds!

LAVA FALL

Just another magic card I am working on. Need to refine the rules and put in mana cost. I'm such a nerd.

Magic the gathering

I'm working on some card illustrations for "Magic: The Gathering". There are already tons and tons of beautiful illustrations, and I was inspired to invent some new cards and draw the images for the cards so I can....... eventually play with them, too! I know, I'm quite the nerd, but it's the most fun I've had on a personal project ever!

A man! With a top hat! Who doesn't quite fit into his clothes; how delightful!

Merrrrr made

Ewwww! Just thought I would start doing some characters once a week in order to get some practice in. Maybe some sketches will evetaully lead to some finished works?

Monday

Monday Monday, ooooh ahhhh!!  Who sang that?  The Mamas and the Papas?  Regardless, I'm so very glad it's Monday.  After a long weekend and an ever longer, tiresome month, the holiday is approaching I am going home!  I'll be so glad to take some real time to devote my self to some artwork.  I'm allowing myself to procrastinate and watch television when I have some free time at the apartment because I have been driving around Orange county singing so much, that my creative energy is quite used up by the end of the day.  

When I get back, though, I'm going to be setting some deadlines and getting my dummy book together to send out to publishers.  It's about time I start getting it all done, eh?

Well, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  Watch out for strange calls from Santa Clause (I got one) where he'll let you know how good you've been all year (that's a lie), and how you better go to bed early on Christmas Eve.  No joke.  I got a call just like this early today.  Gave me the chills.........

Print work

I've been doing some work for my friend who is a graphic designer and printmaker.  We teamed up and I did some illustrations of Yellowstone wildlife, and I had a great time doing them!  Here is one of them---
