it's a fun-splosion!

Lots of drawings and projects. Poster for a play a friend is doing, some coffee shop drawings, circus posters and Slughorn. I feel the need to explain the Slughorn thing and the Circus posters. So here we go. Circus posters were an attempt to draw like a person who *can* draw but was never *trained* to draw. Like if you started with the eyes like you used to draw people as a kid. Not sure how successful it was. I like the aging effect though. I'm going to print them out for our featured Circus room at the Hallowe'en in August event at FrightFest this year. Give them a good working over and singe the edges and so on. Slughorn was because I tried him a while back but it morphed into some weirdass non-slughorn character. So much to my amazement when I google images of "slughorn" I find this terrible drawing I did. So I'm doing this slughorn design to try and overwrite my previous terrible drawing of him with something more representative.

Have a good week everybody!

Madly Off in All Directions.

I have about a million things I keep telling myself I'm gonna do and all I'm doing is watching Season 1 of Q.I.

Life Marches on. And The Mist is a great movie.

Got the mist. Watched it. A lot. Cool movie. Very cool. Here's some paintings! One is sort of a drawing jam speedpainting I did trying to capture the look of the hidden city in The Mountains of Madness. The other is an attempt at "Innsmouth folk" but I don't think he looks fishy enough. Still like the painting though even if it missed the mark a little.

Hey everybody! Have a great day!

some quickies before I leave for the weekend

I'm going on record as saying that I really don't like Ledger's Joker. I stick by my trailer assessment that he looks like "a" joker rather than "THE" Joker. And I'm also getting the feeling and I hope I'm right that I'm gonna eat my words. I really hope so. Mech was inspired by an image I saw at theStudio B art show. It was very VERY cool. So I went and doodled a quick mech related image and did some quick colours and stuff on it. Fun times! I wish I'd been more careful wiuth the perspective. WTF is that thing behind them?!?!

Quick, man! Post something!

Yessir, here's some drawing and a painting. I got all inspired watching how fast ManMay's getting awesome at digital painting so I figured I'd jump in on the fun but the "speed" painting turned into a multi-day tinker and fiddle. Oh and owls are cool. Cats are there because I was staying at dad's place while he's in Winnipeg (Happy Birthday, Mum, Dad, Gillian and Paul!) and he has a cat. But she's boring to draw so I was drawing her poses as if she were more interesting. You hear me Marley? You're uninteresting! Ah-hahahaha!

Kung Fu Panda: Dreamworks Finally Gets it Right

It's awesome. I could nitpick but... screw it. Everything I wanted and more. Everyone go see it or else.

I'm probably very excited about Kung Fu Panda

Probably.


**EDIT** That Kung Fu Orangutang was bugging me so I tried a few variations.
