Hey throngs of disenchanged sivARTblog fans! I'm back after 3 months of inactivity. Since I last posted, my family and I have moved from Louisiana to Texas and are in the process of purchasing and moving into our new home. I'll probably be too busy to post very often for a while, but it should be more often.
In the meantime, I've come across an illustrator online that I've seen before and I LOVE his illustrative style. I don't know his real name, but you can see his deviantART page here. In an attempt to branch out as an illustrator, i've spent what drawing time I have had lately trying to adopt his style. I practiced by redrawing some of his illustrations, but all of the ones I'm posting here are my own creations. Below are some of the results of the experiment. Let me know what you think! 


I drew this Spidey after reading a Hellboy graphic novel. This isn't exactly Mignola-style art, but it's someone influenced by it. Just felt like drawing and this is what happened. I kinda like it.
I walked up to my wife, Shelley, the other night and said, "You won't believe the dream I had last night." She responded with, "Oh yeah! I dreamed that Lesley (my sister-in-law) was a casserole!" Her dream won, clearly, no matter WHAT my dream was! I got the details of this living casserole and the drawing is below. She said that one moment it was Lesley, and the next, it was a 2-sided casserole with googly eyes and wheels turned up on it's sides. It wasn't sentient. Shelley had no problem with her sister being a casserole on wheels, but she was distressed that someone had eaten part of it! Weird dreams are the best!
So, Jeff (of 4after5 art collective fame) came up with the great idea of drawing bad guys doing good things. I loved the theme so much I drew 2 ideas. Check 'em out below. I'll post the other guys' "Bad Guys" when everyone finishes theirs ...ehem....Jeremy...


The title of this post says it all.
I got this idea a few days ago and couldn't stop thinking about it until I drew it. Hue makes a heckuva space ranger, in my opinion. :) Hoping to see Sheriff Herbie soon!
Here's a new drawing of Hue that I worked on over Labor Day weekend. Enjoy!
Yup...pretty weird.

Okay, so it's Tuesday! You got me! Weird Sketch Tuesday just doesn't sound right though. Here are a couple of sketches from my doodle pad at work. Hope you like 'em. I'm kinda diggin' that monstrosity myself.
