New Book Idea

I recently came up with what I think is a pretty darn good idea for a picture book, grabbed by pencil, my sketch book, and the result was this.

"Giant hairy monster squashes a kid under his rancid, stinky foot."

Don't worry, that's not the title (though it might be a funny title). In fact, it's not even really what the book is about (sort of). I've still got some stuff to work out as it's more of a concept at this point rather than a story, but I like the concept, which is more than I can say for a lot of the stuff that comes from the black hole that doctors seem to think is my brain.

More to come on this later,

Mortimer and Bartimus

I've been busy trying to catch up on other work lately, but I did manage to find a little time to sketch out these two guys. I'm not sure who they are. Not sure what they're doing. Have no idea what they could possibly be talking about, or where they're from, but I've lovingly named them Mortimer and Bartimus. (Mortimer being the dark haired gent.)

School Mascot Logo

I was asked to come up with a mascot logo for a school being built in the area. The mascot is a chipmunk, which isn't exactly the most intimidating creature in the animal kingdom, but then again this is a primary school, and I suppose third graders aren't really that intimidating either so it all works out. I drew up a sort of realistic looking one, and a cartoonish looking one. Personally I'm leaning towards the cartoonish.

Work in Progress - Finished

I was able to fight off the laziness demons and put the big ol' kibosh on this one last night. (I know, I know, I should never type the word "kibosh" again.) Anyway, it's done. Is it the greatest thing I've ever done? Nope, but it's done. Leaving it unfinished would have bothered the crap out of me more then the world's most powerful laxative.

Work In Progress

Still working on this one. Not completely sure what I'm going to do with it either. I'm thinking that I might lose the idea of kids behind him in line, in favor of an empty street. Maybe early morning? Maybe kind of dark out? Maybe I'll just vignette the top bit somehow? I'm not sure just yet, which seems to be the case more often than not these days. Ideally I'll try and get some work done on it this afternoon, but I have a sinking feeling that lack of available time, as well as my incredible laziness might just prevent that from actually happening.
