s'been a while...

I'm sorry... more updates once I realize what I've neglected to post here. In the meantime. DookJoOoky needs some love. Some of YOUR love. Help two young brothers from Virginia "get on" so to speak. We're swell chaps, I promise.

Also, the better half of DKJKY just overhauled his blog. My love/hatred for this cat is everlasting. I'm glad we're in the same camp. Otherwise id have to MERK 'em AHAHAHAhahha. No. Seriously. *meanmug* Happy holidays, folks.

Toodles.

The Sketch

Love how this looks. Might hide my inkwells from myself for a while and just pencil everything. Maybe even try to freak style that looks like the way I ink just by holding the pencil differently or finally using this jar of graphite power i hardly use.

The Inks.

...Meh. its more obviously to me now after its done it was rushed. Took my time on the face, but the rest, I was already late to work so I crapped it out after that.

The Tones.

So so. I'm teaching myself the art of the bitmap halftone. I had to learn how to do it for a t-shirt design that needed a gradient in it without using too many different colors. Just needed something to fill up the back. Im wishing now I had left the glasses on him from the initial skech.
You can read the article here.

this little piggy....

Went "CRAPDOOKPOOPFARTGRUNT" all the way home.
Sunday nights at work are brutally boring...

this is what it birthed.

secks

Wasnt the initial design i had in mind(wanted some pursed lips and drippage HA) but it came out ok for what it was. read the article here. Next few editorials im going to do straight to wacom tablet to test myself. Im think im getting nice as hell with it(finally), if i do say so myself.

nice

Undercover Illustration finally ran this past tuesday...
http://fredericksburg.com/News/FLS/2007/082007/08212007/309274
It printed a WHOLE lot better than I expected.. all my values came in to a tee I think.

as I groove out to common - the light...

Love how this came out...

Folks dug it, but since they've been framing all the newspaper stuff lately, hahaha, they mentioned it sucks because now theres an image of Bush in their living room.

Some people I work with were trying to find out if I did it straight to the computer or not. It DOES look like some sloppy straight to wacom tablet... but its really just super rushed + breaking in a new brush pen. Inks...


Also, here are some photo manip stuff I did for an article running Tuesday about effed up flavors of ice cream. Gotta love the Japanese. Wish I had known, totally would've ate some bacon ice cream just to say I did it.

FUCK thats nasty ahahahha. Smooches.

Forgot to post these...


Story was about a local law enforcment's undercover cop program. Specializing in drugs, vandalism and gangs. I'm unable to find the story online right now though -__-

bottles are fun

Maybe ill try a transparent one next time... would've on this one but I had time constraints and was too tired to sit there and draw it.. AND ink it. All this was pretty much straight to ink.
Read the article (and see the horrible colors) here. Im tired... two mor hours at work.. then I have to turn in some rough drafts/thumbnails for the t-shirt folks.

The life of a starving artist... is one with little sleep and lots of delusions of grandeur/trash talking. Amen. ZZZZzzzz... oh WAIT!

Here's some Japanese hiphop to keep people awake. Ahahahha. I love this shit. Ok.. how about some regular "real" hip hop too.

Ahaha, nobody will see these for weeks.

oh riiight...

Forgot to post this over here...

Story was about professional shoplifting groups and the new methods/tech to try and stop them. They forgot to quote me for the illustration.. dunno how I feel about that ahahahha. Article here, and here's the SKETCH.
toodles.

Graduation gift for the kid sister of a close friend of mine. Never actually MADE it to the graduation party because; even though Ive driven to the house countless times, had great distress finding that shit last night hahahha, 1hr 30min drive turned into almost 3 hours of getting lost driving around in circles getting wrong directions from random people who don't speak my language, home grown or otherwise :D

Maybe Ill mail her the shit or something. Bah. Missed all that delicious Filipino food and urrything. Jesus. ahahahha.

20mins. Brush Pen.
