Now I have to do my Cosmic Crackle, all digital drawing.

Vote West, Young Man

No, not Horace Greeley on horseback.

Is this a total cheat to cross post this? The U.S. Grant Memorial in D.C. For Election Day!

Another Faux Game Box Cover (or is it faux?) ...

Hola, everyone. This cover is a collage of characters I commissioned from Roger Robinson (TAG member from waaay back), and my colors and design, etc. Right now I have a design document that would take this game to the iPad and iPhone, so if you know of anyone who is looking for content that's ready to step off of the page, have them contact me!! Oh, I've included a screen shot that I comped together to show what the game might look like in its basic snowboarding mode.

GHOST PROVOKERS second episode premiere!

Hello Kittens,
For those of my bretheren who do not know, the next installment of my series Ghost Provokers (this time shot on board the Queen Mary) will premiere today on Halloween! Go to http://www.ghostprovokers.com/ to see the show in three parts (or find it on YouTube). It's almost a half hour long again, and maybe that's about 25 minutes too long. YOU decide. Please check it out and let me know what you think.
Hate you guys.

Is It Still Tuesday...?

... or did I miss the deadline by thirty-some hours? I like to use a Pentel Rolling Writer for my doodling, sketches and thumbnails. You probably can't even tell what I have drawn here, but maybe that's the fun of it. I just like to move my hand around inside a little box and watch the black-and-white lines and patterns form. That's the Ken Theater up on Adams Avenue in my neighborhood. The other two thumbs are pipes and windows on nearby alleyway walls.

It may be time to move back to Oklahoma

Had my top front 4 teeth removed as prep for a partial plate. Click the headline to see me at the dentist immediately after extraction.

I used Burt Lancaster's teeth to visualize what my partial plate will look like.

I changed it to just the look I will soon achieve

Kong!

Sketch for Tuesday

Here's a sketch I made of an actor from my favorite film for Halloween.

Rick Schmitz's Pens / My Colors

Another box art piece ... I put Rick's sketch through Live Scan in Illustrator and then did some coloring on it ...

It's Tuesday

Very unsuccessful attempt at Anderson Cooper. The guy he was interviewing is a fairly successful likeness.

The Real Genius behind Rocky and Bullwinkle, Alex Anderson dies

Mysteries From Beyond the Brushpen

OK, I won't bother you with the details, but this is a great clip from a mega-obscure and damn funny movie--one of those wonderful 70's documentaries attempting to explain how extraterrestrials came to earth in the prehistoric days and taught the Mayans to surf.

I wouldn't waste precious TAG blog acreage here if I didn't think you'd get a kick out of it. If you want to know more, check out Brush Pen Breakfast.

All my love, cheeky vampires.

Jack Kirby's Color Palette?

Got it from the Jack Kirby Museum site.
Click headline to go to the site.
Does anyone know the exact address of Kirby's place? Question to those of us that went with Shel that time. I ended up a few years later getting to know Thousand Oaks fairly well. I wondered if my stomping grounds in TO typically intersected where Kirby lived.
