Well, what the heck have we got here!? Your guess is as good as mine but I suspect that's some sort of giant eyeball looking at a handheld mirror held by a disembodied arm connected to a mitochondrial skyline supported by a prone, headless body. Oh yeah, there also a guy with a giant crab claw for an arm! Of course! Thank Cod, the next one is a little easier to 'digest'. Click "more" to see for yourself.
Here's another couple Loony Sharpie Doodles for your amusement. Above you'll find a lobster cow skull, a little blue bird, an ice cream cone (with two scoops!) and some broccoli, of course! Below the cut you'll find an open mouth spewing green foam that expands into an array of strange flowers creating a bizarre arrangement topped with what looks like veiny jingle bells! Your guess is as good as mine!
Every Sunday night Jason Robert Bell and I have a sit down where we chew the fat, talk about ideas and perhaps most importantly; draw! The medium of choice on these evenings is an array of colored sharpies, typewriter paper and our imagination.
Anything we make will be fodder for an upcoming project (more on that later), but I thought I'd show them here first before they are subsumed into this other larger event. We've been doing this now for a few weeks and each evening I'm able to turn out a few of these bizarre, stream of consciousness sketches. I'll be posting them all up eventually but for starters, here's two. Enjoy!
My good friend, Amy Finkel, has created a short film to raise funds for a proposed documentary about freeze drying pets. She's set up a Kickstarter campaign (it's already reached its objective but continues to draw interest) and as part of her incentives, she's enlisted the help of her comicker friends to create original art! The film's thoughtful exploration of our love of our furry friends and our relationship with their/our mortality has none of the irreverence and gallows humor of my piece. It's challenging and resonant and worth further development and exposure. I hope you will consider donating to this project either for its amazing array of incentives or simply to do your part in helping to make art come to fruition. To see the film's trailer, learn more about its creator and become a backer, please visit the project's Kickstarter page.
This pic comes right off the dome -I mean- the drawing board! It's a detail of an inked page from MARATHON and thanks to the wonders of modern technology, I can now publish images to the blog as I draw them! Look for more process photos and other random snapshots under the tag, 'Mobile'. See you soon!
All 183 pages of Marathon are now penciled! It’s been a long process but it’s all the sweeter for the effort it took to get here. Next leg of this ‘marathon’ is inking but for now, it’s DRINKING!
